Army Showcase: Hammer of The Forge


MBG here with a sweet custom Space Marine chapter for you to check out.

Yepimadork came up with this themed escalation army back in the dawn of 5th Edition.  He named his chapter the Hammer of the Forge, and they rock.

Besides converting the dreads to be the un-released at the time Ironclads, he also painted up the army in a non conventional scheme and based it as if on Martian soil.

Back then you could still find some of the old colored primer cans from GW, so he used a spray can of Camo Green, and highlighted it with a mix of Camo and Ivory (from Vallejo Model color).  Then he used Gore Red on the guns, and accented the figures with Beige on the shoulders and brass for the trim.



Overall it turned out great, and looks very unique! Check out the overall pics below!

Dem dreads. Urge to play with kits rising...
This is such a clean and nciely done paint job. Totally jealous. Now you need to extend this army out to 2500 points!!!!
I like the use of the Fantasy shields on that second dread to add a bit of pop. And I can't tell if the corragated metal seams on the first dread are freehand or what...
Probably one of the cleanest, best painted Space Marines I've ever seen. They look fantastic. I'm thinking of copying the paint scheme for my Tau. Should be apples.
Don't imagine that tredplate offers much protection to that dread, I guess he's kitted out underneath with some tougher materials! Clean job and they look great. +1
