5th Company Sign-up - WarSeer Painting and Support Group - The Glorious Fifth

[Captain Brown]

What's this all about you ask?

The WarSeer Community is working on creating a marine chapter, made up of individual marine models, built, painted and named by it's members. When the project is finally finished we would literally have created a chapter, with every marine named and his exploits recorded for all time.

What do I need to join?

A single marine model that you will paint up (in an agreed paint scheme) and send in to a central point. There the entire army will be photographed and brought out for display during WarSeer Tournaments. (If the project gets really large there is talk of contacting White Dwarf.) That marine can be a two piece snap together, plastic, lead, pewter or combination thereof; mounted on a 25 mm round base and armed as appropriate to his position in the company following Codex Space Marines (with the True Grit trait so in addition to a regular Bolter he may carry a close combat weapon - chainsword, combat knife, axe, pointy stick)

This thread for those interested from the WarSeer Painting and Support Community (and those who share our love of painting and converting miniatures), where we can congregate, recruit and discuss ideas. Just like our parent group, words of encouragement are always sought for all members’ contributions, so let’s help each other out. What do you need to qualify you ask...an unpainted model, and we all have lots of those.

Blue spots are positions we seek to fill (presently we are full with 80 Battle Brothers…however some spots may open soon with casualties…people who had to drop out). Red is for those members who have assembled their marines, but not necessarily completed them as we are always looking at new bits. Green will be when a model is painted (although that is also far in the future as there is no deadline at this time). Guilder=* Confirmed PArticipation=+

Feel free to announce your status using your sig, some members have even gone as far as to create web pages with their progress. Let’s see some models folks, remember this is therapy .

The useful links:

The colour scheme, chapter symbol and colour palette are here.
A sample colour guide is here.
Company Markings are a White Roman Numeral 5 (V) on the left knee pad, kneepad may be painted black, which is our Company Colour. A squad may opt to paint their shoulder pad rims black as well, or leave them the standard blue.
Squad markings are in white on the right shoulder pad. Squad numbers may be in black roman numerals within the squad symbol.
A work in progress of the colours is here.
You should reserve a name for your marine here.
For additional information check out the WarSeer Battle Barge FAQ.
Little Gallery of models in progress here.

Let’s see some models folks, remember this is therapy .

The little details section:

We will be adhering to the colour scheme voted on by WarSeer. We will also be arming ourselves with Codex weaponry. Some of you have already indicated that they would like to add some bits from other Marine lines to their figure, my feelings are go right ahead. Below are some of my thoughts and ideas on the subject.

A Space Marine's armour is like a living historical document, covered with litanies of faith, devotional icons or emblems of their particular chapter, purity seals, awards and decorations of bravery, etc. The intent of the latest edition of the Space Marine Codex was to demonstrate that the Space Marine Warrior is a hero, who has served on hundreds of battlefields.

So members should add small tokens (a purity seal for devotion to duty - WarSeer Painting Support Group – my suggestion only, feel free to suggest a better one if you think of something), a nameplate on the shoulder pad (for guilder status), trophies (for Arena of Death participation), medals (for WarSeer Awards), devotional litanies written on leg armour (Member of the WarSeer Book Club), a quill symbol under the Chapter Symbol (waistoid contributor), there could even be (for those who feel that they wish to atone for previous transgressions) a sash of shame (like the Reiksgard Knight in WFB Armies Empire Book picture) a cloth draped over the Chapter Symbol to represent that the individual seeks redemption, etc.

A word to the wise, those that put too much on their Marine will look silly when standing by their battle brothers...so choose wisely. In fact those that do not spam, lurk and enjoy the community will have the cleanest (and possibly most noticeable) Marines.

In the interest of space I have restarted this thread as we had over 1400 posts in the last one and it was getting hard to follow. It will remain open, but no longer stuck.

It can be found here. All discussion, suggestions and ideas should be posted there to keep this thread short and with important announcements.

I am going to use this post to update major announcements and keep the team informed.

First Announcement:

22 May 07: Makaan, Exodes, and Nostro: you all need to reserve your marine name in this thread.

12 June 07: Just sent everyone a PM checking on your status. TWB has returned and the project will get going again.

14 June 07: Well some shake-ups have occured as I get updates, we now have three spots available.

Ouch, been a while since I checked here! Well my guy is as good as painted, just not sure what colour to do the backpack or how to do the warseer chapter symbol! Any ideas?

It looks as though there is a couple of spots still open in the assault squads.

Let me know, and I will have one built and painted pretty quick, I have been looking to get involved.

Marine Name: Arkley Kelley
Position wanted: Company Standard Bearer
Weapon: Power Mace (If Poss)

Notes:

The 5th Co was send to a backwater world called Hixxus X on routine training, after 3 weeks of intense training the planet was attacked for real, by the xenos known as Eldar, Captain Brown used this as a real test of our companys skills, Arkley Kelley was at the time leading the second squad as a veteran sergent.

The companys command squad was hit by a sneak attack of Warp Spiders the only survivor was Captain Brown who managed to fight off 6 of these vile xenos, Sergeant Kelley ordered his squad leader to take command of the squad while he took it apon himself to carry the companys standard, The battle turned into a fight for vengence, and we got it... The things we did to the eldar should not be repeated.

Sergeant Kelley was injured he took a direct hit to the legs and torso from a Dark Reaper barrage, with the company apotheary dead, things looked bad, but never once did Sergeant Kelley let go of his companys standard, even when the Thunderhawks arrived the standard was his... no NOT his but the Companys and it would never be dishonoured again.

With the lack of Dreadnoughts available the Chapters apothecaries replaced most of Sergeant Kelleys body with bionics, more machine than man but the same imdomitable spirit drives him, always one of the first onto the battlefield, he can be seen on the frontline making the enemies pay for facing the 5th.
