The painting and modelling blog for my as unnamed (ideas welcome) DIY Space Marines Chapter.

I'll tidy up/format this post later.

A taster for now:
User Image

Need some fixing up and the painting finishing (when I get some).

Mars pattern, and headless Marine provided for scale.

It is a dreadnought.

Doesn't really fit. Not much metal in the paint schema. That brown will be painted to bone.

Symbol on shoulder pads is a Wyrven-like thing. Was thinking Wyrven Guard, but that is a bit too close to Raven Guard?

Mostly a Chaos Defiler and a Rhino.

I thought I recognized some defiler parts. Is that the color scheme, or still paint from the original models?

That's the colour scheme - half painted.

It looks really Chaos-y, especially with the skull, chain, and the color scheme, but it meshes well overall. The feet are really small proportionally, though.

If I wanted a clean cut SM army I would do Ultras (or revive my idea as Alphas disguised as Ultras).

It might just be the shin-pads, also the feet on a Mars pattern are not all that big.

Do you have any established background that could help in naming these chaps?

I think that's the imperial eagle, right?

Anyway.... I'm feeling something from the color tones.

Black Skulls.
Red Flayers.
Chained Skulls.
Chainbreakers
Iron Shields (Loyalist long lost chapter from Iron Warriors?!?)
Cadavers
Black Destroyers
