[LEAD LEGION] The LAF Space Marine Chapter

[von Lucky]

Here's Dreadnought me progressing slowly.

Sounds like a line from a children's book, "The Little Venerable Dreadnought". (I've added him to the gallery)

[Hat Guy]

Found enough old bits to throw this guy together:



I'll need a couple of paints to finish him, so he may be a while. Not sure what he is or does yet because I was never too much up on the Marine lore. Might make him an apothecary given that I'm a therapist?

"Medicus Animi Ratea Gallus"? If I'm allowed to use actual Latin rather than the GW faux-Latin?

Will get back to you.

I like that kitbash. Is that an eldar power fist? It works well.

[Elbows]

Nope, that's the old standard plastic power first from the early 90's - late 90's.

[Vanvlak]

Sounds like a line from a children's book, "The Little Venerable Dreadnought". (I've added him to the gallery)

Thank you. It's The Littlest Venerable Dreadnought, actually.

Once upon a time brave Space Marine Vanvlak
was bitten by a Tyranid
and sat on by a Gargant
and webbed by a Warp Spider
and bombarded by ten little Tau suits standing in a row.

Mr Apothecary came along in his nice white armour.
"Poor Space Marine Vanvlak!" said the Chapter Master.
"Can you do something to make him feel better please?"
"Yes!" said the man,
and he swept up all the little bits left of poor Vanvlak and put them in a bucket,
and he took the bucket to the nearest Techmarine (in his nice red armour).
Together they put Vanvlak inside a giant dreadnought!
It was big!
It was beige!
It had twin linked lascannons and a power claw and a flamer!
So Dreadnought Vanvlak was bigger and stronger than Vanvlak ever was,
and he fought for ten thousand years (although he slept through most of them!)
and in the end he became venerable dreadnought Vanvlak.

That is my story!
And Dreadnought me is progressing along nicely!

[Tellus]

I really tried to ignore this thread...but at last I could not resist. 
What a cool idea, a Forum with its own Space Marine Legion 
Time to start with a Tactical Squad for Space Hulk.

[Elbows]

Excellent work there Tellus!

[Mason]

Excellent work there Tellus!

Indeed.
Very smooth.
 

[OSHIROmodels]

This arrived today...



Will hopefully assemble him and prime tomorrow.

cheers

James

[Tellus]

Thank you guys!

This one looks good James, I'm looking forward how it will turn out, Master Mechanicus 

[nic-e]

Well i got some reivers, So I can add some lanky stealth to the chapter.

[Predatorpt]

Welcome Tellus, excellent work!

[Daeothar]

@ Tellus; great work! I love the mix of RTB01 parts too 

[Tellus]

Thank you!

It's always good to have something beaky at hand

[YPU]

Rejoice, a new brother joins the ranks of the Lead Legion!

I primed this model ages ago, having failed to remove most mould lines it seems. Still, glad he finally got a coat of paint. I used GW's old rotting flesh, and army painters uniform green, I think they work rather nicely for this.
