So to start at the beginning...I have set this up to follow the creation of my Warhammer 40K Space Marine Chapter. This is something that I have wanted to do for ages but as we all know, life happens. I like to get my nerd on so finally...lets get into it.
Hopefully at this point, you would have read my first post. This is the corner stone for my concept. After getting caught up with the Adeptus Astartes lore (which has come a long way since I did this in school around 18-20 years ago), I began to write. Not one to follow the mainstream, I decided to go down the disavowed good guys route, kind of similar to a super futuristic A-Team but more badass and with better aim.
Starting with some basic knowledge, I am basing my force on the Black Templars but obviously with a twist. After looking at chapter upgrades, I quickly stumbled into a few 3rd party sites selling all sorts. it was like finding treasure when I came across some of the bits (yes, I'm easily excited). I will include the names of these bits in a later post as not to ruin the surprise for you all when I show you my bits! (Puntastic 😂).
When everything is here to create Lord Drake, my first
Tactical Squad and...maybe something bigger too, I will
update you all with pictures and words. I do hope to get
some slightly clearer images on here too in time but just
to your right there is a picture of a concept Space Marine.
I need to work on tabbards as I'm not overly impressed by
the result on this one, that being said, trying new techniques has paid off on the rest of the model (be assured I will be hitting YouTube hard). The most surprising thing for me is that even my nerve shot hands that could be better employed as a martini shaker aren't causing me any massive issues when it comes to details.
With tenacity and patience, anything can be achieved.
Thank you for reading!
Best wishes til next time,
Matt.
