Love this paint scheme!

The militant Order of His Abiding Grace

Sacred Rose successors from a forest shrine world and based on medieval France.

Forgot pic.

Knights of the Starlight Hawk
Fleet based
Drop Assault
Most likely Salamander Progenitor
Understrength
Mostly Codex Compliant, but with a few but significant deviancies.
Tasked with reconnecting/reconquering worlds lost in the Dark Imperium.

Chapter recruits solely from the offspring of Space Marines, either fathering children before receiving the Black Carapace & final transformation, or donating seed. They initiate any willing descendants, even those not directly father-son. It is not unheard of for a nephew or grandchild to be the only one to succeed the grueling trials, those that do not live up their ancestors usually find other ways to help their family. Family is important to them & so is inheritance, most arms & armor being inherited. The rank of Chapter Master is an inherited title, as well as the leaders of each Company. They are led by the young but promising Lord Bradley. He succeeded his father after his death during a battle while the fleet was besieged by Chaos on an unrecorded world. The battle seemed hopeless but the young marine, at the time leading the Scout Company, received a vision of a twinkling hawk, blue & light grey, leading him deeper into ruins of some old forgotten civilization, something from the Old Ones. Inside a defensive citadel they found a large crystalline sculpture of a winged birdlike creature. The rest of the ragged marines held fast while the Chapters few tech priests & Tech Marines investigated the artifact, it had some kind of effect on Warp, activation of the artifact turned the tide against the demonic host attacking the Chapter, allowing them to be fight free & escape back to their fleet. Renamed the Knights of the Starlight Hawk, they have interred the artifact upon their flagship Starstorm within the Chamber the Hawk

Neophytes are required to meditate there as their last trial. For some will gain visions or guidance, for others nothing, & some are found dead, with their eyes burned out. The Hawk is sometimes glimpsed or seen by marines, always leading them to safety or to where they are needed most, & some say that the Hawk itself guides the fleet through the Great Scar.

The fleet has a huge civilian population, with the idea being they would serve as a Hive to repopulate the worlds the Chapter finds during thier voyage.
The entire Chapter is Primaris & supported by Scions who are mostly other important nobles of the civilian fleet. The capitol of the fleet is the voidship Venturous.

That green is so dark I wondered why your black and white marines were called Emerald Knights at first. What paints do you use for that?

>tfw they are secretly heretics who serve the God President of Mankind, the God Emperor's more richer, arrogant, and much cooler cousin

Call me a fag, but I don't like quartered schemes. However, yours is bretty gud OP.

I haven't actually painted one yet. It's mainly the Chapter I use in Dawn of War or Space Marine. If I ever do paint another Marine, I'll probably do them like that though Probably Caliban Green or something similar. I think I made the picture a bit too dark.

Thank you, user.

Fun fact, I used to call them the White Knights. Only much later I realized I didn't want a chapter of neckbeard keyboard warriors.

>old metal cadians
nice.

noice

with all the different materials making up their armor, SoBs are a bitch to find a decent paint scheme for.

After the great crusade, after Horus was anounced warmaster. Before the Emperor settled on the golden throne,
he created two sister chapters of Space Marines.
They have no primarch and no chapter master, they are only loyal to the emperor himself.
He created two companies, 100 men each, as the starting core of the chapters, the "Blood Companies"
The men were created with help of the emperors own DNA.
Embryo clones of selected individuals from different chapters, collected on his travels to the homewolds of the primachr chapters,
were each injected with a drop of the emperors blood.
They were raised and trained in close proximity of the palace until adolescence.
Each company was given a small frigate, with a small and trustworthy crew and room for a full space marine chapter, equipment and training grounds,
and they were send on a recruiting mission, to become full chapters.
Each vessel was equiped with a chapel and mess hall wich bore a device for direct warp communication with the emperor in the golden throne.
The mess hall also has an altar with a holy relic, a shard of the emperors rib.
The names of the vessels became the names of the now foudn chapters; "Emperors Bones and Blood" and "Emperors Blood and Bones"
Initioation of new recruits involves the injection of a drop of blood from a member of the
"Blood Company" into the recruit and a private warp conversation with the emperor himself.
Thus there is part of the Emperor in every Marine of those Chapters, and he has seen and spoken to each.

One of the very few known Forge Worlds within the Ixaniad Sector, Hephaestia stands as a beacon of knowledge and technology on the very edge of the galaxy. Situated in a dense cluster of planets on the edge of the void, its isolation has allowed its influence to spread among the local systems almost uncontested.

Surrounded by dynastic hereditary governments often at war for short term power and a host of Xenos threats that seek to hide from the crushing fist of the Imperium, Hephaestia has had to adopt a brutal outward mentality and staunch isolationism, keeping the system sealed behind an iron wall of force and furor. Among the Mechanicus, the far flung world of Hephaestia holds a reputation for uncommon and ironclad unity in the face of the coming darkness.

Existence on the far side of the expanding Eye of Terror has done no good for the Forge, and the return of Old Night has brought new terrors unto the world as contact with the Imperium wavers.

Anyone have the templates for the other marks of armor?

Anyone else play GSC?

The Grapists

>doing something neat with necrons
damn, there's not a ton of you guys out there, keep up the good shit.

This little shit on the left just killed the thunder hammer/stormshield sarge and lightning claw guy in Space Hulk.

Still died, but was the closest game of SH I've ever played.

The Red Dawn
Dark Angels successor that's under chapter strength and has to work with limited resources. As a result Scouts are used less as commandos and more as grunts, being a large part of their fighting force. As a contrast all the chapter's highest ranking individuals, The Inner Circle (being DA successors and all), wear Terminator armor. Not many scouts graduate to earn their black carapace and those who do are respected veterans who are given the most important tasks of securing high value objectives. Normally the deployed forces are scouts led by a lieutenant(s) in Power Armor supported by an honor guard of tactical marines, with the Inner Circle only deploying for the most dangerous operations, or if there's risk of their secrets, or the secrets of their progenitor chapter being uncovered.
Also everyone wears their helmets.

Kikaider?

One of these days I'm gonna order some gas mask heads and paint my Guardsmen like the HECU. Gonna have to wait till summer though.

The Dune Guard were not always called such. An Ultramarines successor chapter, their home planet was once a fertile garden world with a very minor ork infestation against which the chapter would test new recruits. This changed dramatically when advance elements of a tyranid splinter fleet made planetfall amid asrtropathic calls for assistance in all directions. Amidst the brutal fighting around the tyranid landing site and in the void above, thefirst respondents to the call crashed to the surface: an ork waagh, attracted by the fighting, three Roks strong. In addition, the already present orks' reproduction skyrocketed, leaving the Imperials faced with three threats worthy of all the forces they could commit, and in control of an ever diminishing amount of territory, even while the Chapter's voidcraft took more and more losses. By the time their sister chapter, the Void Hawks, arrived, the planet was a half eaten mess of jungle and desert with orks squabbling with Tyranids over the remains while the chapter performed behind-the-lines strikes near constantly in an endless attempt to stem the flow of monsters and greenskins into the remaining defenders of the fortress monastery. The Void Hawks quickly reversed the situation in orbit, their mastery of combat in the heavens coming to the fore, and their air support proved invaluable on the ground, where many marine squads had painted their armour tan in order to better blend with the increasingly barren landscape. Despite the aid, the bubble of Imperial territory shrunk until the fighting was within the very walls of the monastery. The chapter's relics were evacuated to the Void Hawks craft in orbit, and marines and PDF troopers followed. The final rearguard were kicking orks off the ramp of the final thunderhawk as it lifted off, and the first lance of exterminatus striking the former capital lit their departure.
The Dune Guard now fight like the Raven Guard, and are homeless guests aboard the ships of the Void Hawks.

>Grapists
>Grand Pure Fists
>GraPists in short.

Repudiators, so far.

Vanilla like the Ultramarines in lore, they're a chapter of proxy Blood Angels that wish they were Black Templars.

WHEN DOES IT STOP BROTHER

WHEN DO I HAVE ENOUGH

Wings of Camazotz
White Scars successors
Understrength
Created to counter the ork hordes showing in their home system.

The planet Camazotz Primus is a jungle planet populated by a feral society that lives in fear of the giant flying mammals called the Khiroptera and warn children to behave their parents or the Bat Warriors that live in the Maw of Xibalba or the monsters will kidnap them and take them away. The Wings of Camazotz are believed to be a legend by the local populance. Occasionally they're reminded they're all too real by the sound of their motorbikes crashing through the jungle and their trained Khiroptera flying overhead to do battle with orkz.

I saw those guys in a book, looked them up, found no lore whatsoever, just a name and coulours. So I gave them some love.

>4th Founding
>White Consuls successors
>Specializes in shock and awe warfare: Thunderhawks, drod pods, jetpacks and Land Speeders galore
>Librarians with lightning and sky-related powers
>Home planet is Taran III, a feudal world in Segmentum Obscurus, close to the Gothic Sector
>Earth-type world, just slightly colder, with a dozen small continents and beset by brutal storms
>romano-british/arthurian/welsh/breton culture and names
>planet is divided between a shitton of warring kingdoms ruled by a caste of knights riding indegenous flying critters (still undecided between a bird-like or wyvern-type creature)
>locals worship the Emperor as the Thunder Lord and the Space Marines as his ligthning-weilding heralds who once freed them from Dark Eldar
>Fortress-monastery is on a secluded, fog-covered island, very little contact with the locals outside of recruitment
>Chapter recruits from the flyer-riding nobility, but any peasant kid with enough balls to just take the test is welcome
>Neophyte trials consist of fighting, cliff climbing, ocean swiming and flying contests, spending one night exposed on a rocky peak without seeking shelter while the Librarians conjure a storm, and finaly fighting a full-grown Marine, getting wrecked and being ressurected by Apothecaries (as a ritual death and rebirth thing)
>believe themselves to be heralds of the Emperor to His ennemies and bringers of His thunderous fury
>as a result prefer bolt weaponry, will just fly/walk straight at the ennemy, showing-off their coulours proudly, singing guttural Taranite war hymns

I was going to complain about skeletits but it looks like that's, like, battle armor worn over the regular chassis? Nice.

...

Haven't decided how to call them. Hollow Suns (because of insignia) sounds stupid.

Nice scheme. The while seems a bit thick but that just might be the picture.

Damn. And to think that my Scourge Eagles are on the disk drive that isn't currently connected to my PC. Now how will I rump rustle tryhards?

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

you definitely have me beat on cadians though

Fuck meant to reply to this

White Suns? Sounds bretty cool to me.
Alternatively something with eclipse could work - or even something like Midnight Suns

The Abyssal Horde.

Hindu/Tibetan Buddhist influenced mystics who live in a city constructed from the corpse of a void whale. Because they fuck with the Warp a lot, no one can remember whether they split from a Legion or are Renegades; but from their perspective they've always been there, and no evidence exists to suggest otherwise. Though a very large in number, their decentralised nature means that the Abyssal Horde can't effectively use their strength, with the various warband leaders only coming together briefly to achieve a shared goal before falling back into disunity. Again, they fuck with the Warp a lot, so it's not uncommon for whole warbands to disappear for centuries or even millennia.

Combat doctrine is based around the heavy use of aircraft, sorcery and the summoning of daemons to make unpredictable attacks. When on the defensive, they switch to the use of guerrilla warfare. Their battle cry is a cacophony of the chanting and throat singing of various mantras and incantations. Even though I have no way to model this, their version of Noise Marines throat sing people to death.

These are my dudes.

Void Drakes reporting in

Do you have the other picture?

Post templates
Especially if you have other races, too
I need templates for nids so badly

England-sized splinter of Iyanden that broke off during the Tyranid invasion. They trek around the galaxy tracking down Wraithbone stuff that's been lost or left behind on the battlefield then send it back to the main craftworld. They originally hired a warband of Blood Axes to act as cqc specialists/meatshields, with the promise of tons of teeth from old battlegrounds plus any wargear they like from any fights they get in as long as it isn't wraith stuff.
Eventually the Farseer running the splinter was ambushed by a Lictor mid-battle, but was saved by the Warboss, who almost killed the Lictor but lost an arm and was about to be killed before the Farseer got a killing stroke in from behind. Now the Warboss and Farseer are drinking buddies, to the confusement of the Orks and the exasperation of the Eldar, and the Farseer has let the Orks "help" out some of the vehicle teams, and has given a few high-up Nobs some Eldar guns. The Warboss has a power glaive made by the Farseer, and the Farseer has a pet Squig personally trained by the Warboss.
Pic related is muh Farseer, Wenceslas. Squig is pending me actually making a start on the Ork half of my army.
I had this in mind when I started collecting back in 7th, but then 8th allies system came along and fucked that idea in the ass. Feels bad man.

Is Age of Sigmar welcomed?

Ash Drakes
Salamander Successor
Pretty much same just with different colors and some OC donut steel skin color combo. Light ashen and yellow eyes as opposed to Salamanders black and red

Yeah, the skeletits were an invention of the drawfag who did this (crazy detailed) picture. At first I wasn't too sold on them, but at some point I realized, she's Phaerakh, if she wants tits she can just have the Crypteks bolt some on. Like the death mask, elements of her battle chassis are meant to make her feel more comfortable in her "new" body.

Here ya go. There's a colored version around here somewhere I can probably turn up, though it's a bit different than the scheme I settled on.

Exalted Sons
Ultramarines Succesor
Possible Slaaneshi corruption taking hold in Second Company

Very classy scheme, is vanity their eventual downfall?

They're actually pretty good about tempering their pride, despite the fact they're well aware they're awesome and true sons of Roboute Gulliman. However on a number of recent campaigns the 2nd company has been taken unprecedented losses in engagements against a Slaaneshi warband plaguing their sector. All their actions are tactically sound but it keeps resulting in high casualties and with the Warband still at large the honors the Chapter keeps crowning the company with ring hollow. The members of that company are starting to lose their gusto for battle and though the Chief Librarian has put a lot of focus on tempering their dissatisfaction he can tell that a malicious intent has taken grip of them that goes beyond basic weariness. Some have started confining themselves in their free time and making statues of their fallen brothers but something about the works of art is just...off.

I mean the other one. Not the one of her.

What?

Looks like the Darksign to me

A warp portal has opened up in the Inquistorial research base designated Black Mesa. Numerious Xenos have used the stable breach to invade. Your mission is to contain the area and kill any witnesses

This guy?

Thats funny, I have a Hindu/Buddhist inspired loyalist chapter, Blood Angel successors.

cant wait to see you paint a marine with an "honour mark" helmet - show us how it looks

colour scheme isn't even that dissimilar. I went with the dark green because black was too similar to the black legion/Red Corsairs. Have you written any thing about them?

>Blazbaros

But where are his sumptuous tits?

Just a few bits of trivia that are likely to change. They specialize in fighting daemons and heretical psykers. The captains are named for Hindu Vedic gods, they come from a jungle hiveworld planet called Atma, and they're called the Asuras. The guy in the picture is 2nd Captain Agni and the servo skull is his brother Arjuna who died in neophyte training. This being a reference to Agni of myth being a two headed god, and Arjuna being his nephew in the vedic canon. The Chief Librarian is named Siddhartha.

Anyone got blank skitarii dude template?

I've been playing around with the idea of a chapter with a mandrill motif and possibly World Eaters geneseed but I don't have enough confidence in my skill as a painter/kitbashing yet to really do them justice (Also I was in the middle of making another chapter when I had the idea so I don't really want to switch gears in the middle of that).

Got a small doc for my Hive-Mind Marines. Just the basics, along with a brief history of their origins.

docs.google.com/document/d/1wMDtSzjNu4x24t83Rk2zwVXu_4gt9nrSzZ21LLUY0To/edit?usp=sharing

That scheme is almost the same as the Blood Ravens'

Star Wardens
Ultramarine Successors (by way of the Eagle Warriors)
Focus on fast attack with bikes
Space cowboys

This was really reading like mind control fetish smut for a while there. How do they go about replenishing their ranks, though?

Only other one I've got is one for beakies

To be fair, the Tech priest probably was way into that.

Replenishing ranks is a matter of finding more bodies and minds to join into the Collective. The idea being that the smartest minds are taken from the youth of the Forge World, and have their brains harvested. Those brains are put into virtual simulations in order to train and indoctrinate into how to be marines and good soldiers. Meanwhile, the physically fittest children are taken, and trained to provide suitable bodies of great physique and such. When a brain graduates from his training, he is implanted into one of the bodies, now vacant from it's previous owner, which is probably hooked up to the rest of the chapter. Thus, Durkheims influence and brain power grows.

These are my favorites.

Aren't these the marines FJ made?

...

Just got a Fellblade for these guys along with 2 Tactical squads. I officially have a fieldable army:
Captain Korath
Command Squad
2 Tactical Squads
Devestators
Leviathan Dreadnought
Sicaran or Fellblade.

I've posted them before, but it's been a while, since then I've messed with some stuff and wrote up some writefaggotry to flesh out characters/chapter personality a bit.

That is a neat colour scheme user, I just might have to steal it

Thanks man, just wanted something simple, with a flash of Martian Red, for mechanicus ties.

I have pic related, the Wych cult of Red Grief, currently serving the Kabal of Hope's Eclipse. The kabal is currently getting repainted.

That's some pretty sweet lore and I would definitely love to see that farseer and warboss sharing a pint while their respective warriors share confused glances.

RX-78-MK II?

Quack

Red backpack makes them look like a clown.

Inanis Anulum - hollow ring In Latin
Cavae Sol/Solar - empty sun In Latin
If you want I can think of some more, my Latin Is a little rusty so these might not be exact, but 40k doesn't even try to get their Latin right most of the time. Fraternum Is brotherhood In latin, so you can add that to the end of either If you want.

Yippee ki yay, heretics.

What is FJ

Just wait for Keyword: Old Ones, then they can be bros like their frog dads intended.

I know It's supposed to be colored (vaguely) like an American flag, but It's MKX power armor so It's already streamlined enough to start looking a bit mecha-esque, and those colors are pretty much the color scheme for every main character's Gundam In (almost) every Gundam series.
