So I was digging in the dead and soon to be buried threads...

[Tercha]

"there was a chapter in Rogue Trader called The Rainbow Warriors"
But as we are painting pre-heresy - they are Legions not Chapters

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Exactly! And the RW were NOT a first founding.

 

[fieldarchy]

well ok then . . . y'all have fun with the project

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Yeah, you've opened up a can of touchy worms...LOL. Nobody likes the RW, and we all feel the shame of their existence.
No problem with you doing them. In fact, please do!
Get the actual image though, 'cuz that wiki one is wrong.

CHEERS!

The original 'Unspeakables' can be found here.

Awww, their homeworld is called 'Prism', how oddly apt... ^^

 

[JesterzUSMC]

PURGE THE UNCLEAN!
LOL!

[Yuggoth]

Mine arrived today! I got 2. What is the second one for? Is it a backup if I mess up on first try? :-D

Awaiting your instructions Sir!

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Yes, it is a back-up for "just in case" emergencies....

 

[JesterzUSMC]

When you guys are ready to begin:
Here are some research pages:

Lexicanum

 

[Shellshock]

I got 7 backups "just incase" D:

Green light to start?

 

[JesterzUSMC]

yes, go ahead.

 

[cleen X]

So to what standard and in what style?

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Whatever you like.
AT LEAST 'eavy metal, though I'd prefer less than severe line highlights.

 

[Meph]

Hmmm for the Death Guard... I've got a bit of a conundrum... I seem to clearly remember from the Horus Heresy novels that the Deathguard were utilitarian to the extreme, i remember descriptions of their armour being bare metal with just the minimum amount of insignia. But all the pics I seem to find have them with white armour and green shoulder pads.... Could someone clarify this or Jerserzusmc, which would you prefer, utilitarian bare metal (actually my preference) or white&green?

 

[JesterzUSMC]

Your Call Meth...

 

[Meph]

Nonono, your wall, your call, I don't mind painting either. As it's a wee commission of sorts, my personal taste is secondary to yours mate.

Best pre-heresy Death Guard ever:

Staring at one of Chris Borer's minis is always good for inspiration, right?

 

[Meph]

So... green & white then? Ah! A penny dropped... wasn't the bare metal just for their terminator suits?

 

[JesterzUSMC]

No, the white guy with the jumppack is a world eater. The ceramite gray and green guy is the Death guard.

 

[crazyboyae1]

for us nmm people we just paint them nmm, didnt you say we have to put some sort of markings on them?
