@Lithobilic Agreed I'd like to see any of these Hawk Lords (purple / pink), Imperial Stars (purple / pink ), Howling Griffons (red and yellow). It would be nice to see something a little different to Blues / yellow / Green / Grey and black marines.
@Aleglost Correction, the relic blade is a special power weapon with S6 AP3. If you model it as a spear,axe or sword it wouldnt matter as I strike at iniative 5 and wound you on 2s :)
Hi Alexandra Very nice models you made yourself there. I never liked that Black Reach Captain model though, but nice thing you did to him. He looks very menacing with that relic sword (!) Personally I like to tool them up with powerfists and combi-meltas, but that's just from a modelling perspective, since I really don't play that much. I have never seen anyone do the White Minotaurs. I think he will look awesome in shining golden armor, with robes in white and scarlet....
Where do you order the bits from? (the relic blade for example), any particular website(s) you can recommend that have a good selection of bits you can covert mdoels with?
Storm Bolter (firepower against weak hordes) & Relic Blade (great close combat punch in initiative order) is my favourite equipment for my Captain. :) And since he kicks so much ass with that, I'd say paint him as an ANGRY MARINE. :D
I'd like to see any of these Hawk Lords (purple / pink), Imperial Stars (purple / pink ), Howling Griffons (red and yellow). Try something very different to the usual chapters and bright. Love your tutorials.
aawh i hoped that i could suggest bt or ravens as i have bts and started a raven guard army and i would be interested in how you paint black amor as i have not seen you do black arm tutorial before
can vanilla space marines take stormbolters cheap? if so, then you might want to change the bolt pistol for one. if i remember right you're not getting the +1 for offhand from the bolt pistol because you have a relic blade, so the extra shot before you charge would probably be nice. Also, on the original black reach captain, he actually has a bolter, bolt pistol, powersword which is a cheap option for versatility if your stuck on foot and are too far to charge, but within rapidfire range
hey Alex, Very tidy conversion. for a paint scheme how about something really outlandish, quartered like someone mentioned howling griffons, lots asking for purple and saw some asking for imperial fists. howling griffons would be both, or stormlords , your red techniques with the clean white would look wicked looking forward to it. D
@GirlPainting The thing is the librarian sits in his metal box(Raider or Rhino/Rback) casts nullzone/blocks psy stuff and feels pretty save. While his friends with 3++ save and a Thunder Hammer/Las/Plas Backs other shooty units take care of business. :) In a bike command squad sure, but other then that even for terminator squads when i want to them to fight better i get a Chaplain for Fearless and re-rolls. Space Marines Charaters should almost never fight with some exceptions(vulkan).
I would like to vote up three times. One for the large amount of captains you have, another por the nice conversion, and the last for the review. And I vote for the Angry Marines!
Your models are so well painted awsome work, the Captain Conversion is awesome as well. If you want a real challenge why not try to to paint him Novamarines style?
@monstermorrill Black Reach doesn't even include a legal army list....it wouldn't surprise me that the captain is illegally equiped. If I was taking a Relic Blade (30pts), I would probably replace the bolt pistol with a stormbolter (3pts), a bolter with Hellfire rounds (10pts), or a Storm shield (15pts). Too bad you can't take the stormbolter with hellfire rounds.
oh and as for colors, a pre heresy emperor's children would be a nice change compared to normal dark a grity variety. it also doesn't help the templarcrusade01's (might not have spelt that right) Great Crusade campaign has really gotten me back into wanting to play my space marines. so maybe a couple pre heresy painting tuturiols in honor of his amazing campaign project
Well, I was going to suggest Marines Exemplar (which would tie in wonderfully with the banner-top icon) or Mortifactors, but then you said you didn't paint black ... oh bugger! :-)
If you want a real challange try WHITE SCARS white is rather difficult in my opinion,plus finding suitable colour for the cape could prove quite a challenge....Lovely conversion bt the way =]
"first rule about painting black...don't paint black!" ~ alexandra the captain is my favorite choice too...w/ command sqd, apothecary, chaplain(if points allow w/i reason) such devastation! i say you random offa the lexicanum, but to make a choice...minotaurs or white consuls
the black reach captain model has a relic blade by default... u didnt need to convert him... the power sword is smaller... u can check... the black reach captain has the best equipment for a capltain... relic blade artificier armor and bolter (or bolt pistol) costs the same 145 pts total
hahaha with the DA FAQ you can have a Company master with Twin lightning claws, stormbolter, plasma pistol, and melta bomb xD ive made one, pretty pic in game too ^_^
@GirlPainting yes, but a command squad costs considerably more than a librabian - so not really a valid comparison. I could just as easily say that my librarian joins a terminator assault squad and that they will wipe the floor with your command squad. Also - even solo - one good vortex or avenger power from the librarian and your command squad is toast....
Alexandra- I heard you say you had plenty of space marine captains....but I don't. Would you be willing to paint him as an ultramarine (Sicarius) and sell him as a commission?????? TKS!
Your miniatures are awesome!
What a wonderful conversion! Simple in concept yet very elegant. I vote for Angels of Absolution.
hawk lords would be interesting to see
btw i love the way you painted the power weapons!
Very nice bunch of Capt's! Good review of their weapons too :D
I gotta say "Crimson Fists" :D
did not know that about the captain in the space marine codex about his weapon choice thanks for the tip
Rainbow Marines. Lots of colour there, and its pretty obscure which is cool.
@Lithobilic Agreed I'd like to see any of these Hawk Lords (purple / pink), Imperial Stars (purple / pink ), Howling Griffons (red and yellow). It would be nice to see something a little different to Blues / yellow / Green / Grey and black marines.
very good conversion
Reeaally nice models Alexandra :)
I would like to see you do a Brazen Claws tutorial. I love the blue/red quartered scheme.
@Aleglost
Correction, the relic blade is a special power weapon with S6 AP3. If you model it as a spear,axe or sword it wouldnt matter as I strike at iniative 5 and wound you on 2s :)
Cool, cheers for the reply!
@GirlPainting thaks! and r u alloud to but a ferlic blade and a storm blade on your captain?
Crimson Fist, please. I'm currently trying to plan how to go about painting that Black Reach captain for my own army.
Hawk Lords would be awesome! I haven't found a painting tutorial on them yet. :D
Hi Alexandra
Very nice models you made yourself there. I never liked that Black Reach Captain model though, but nice thing you did to him. He looks very menacing with that relic sword (!)

I have never seen anyone do the White Minotaurs. I think he will look awesome in shining golden armor, with robes in white and scarlet....
hey! i cant get a nice green shade and the eldar scorpion guy isnt really a green shade so could do do a salamander?? thanks in advance
Where do you order the bits from? (the relic blade for example), any particular website(s) you can recommend that have a good selection of bits you can covert mdoels with?
I think a howling griffon chapter would looks smashing! :)
VERY COOL
@drMeatloaf101. if you have a non specialist weapon, then a pistol gives an extra attack in close combat, where you want the captain.
how did you give your captain duel power claws i can't find any for the right hand!!!!
Please can you do the captain as Crimson Fists
@larsbo999 Fair enough haven't seen it, will have to look for it.
Storm Bolter (firepower against weak hordes) & Relic Blade (great close combat punch in initiative order) is my favourite equipment for my Captain. :)
And since he kicks so much ass with that, I'd say paint him as an ANGRY MARINE. :D
I'd like to see any of these Hawk Lords (purple / pink), Imperial Stars (purple / pink ), Howling Griffons (red and yellow). Try something very different to the usual chapters and bright. Love your tutorials.
Astral Claws !!!
i realy like the silver-blue color from that army
aawh i hoped that i could suggest bt or ravens as i have bts and started a raven guard army and i would be interested in how you paint black amor as i have not seen you do black arm tutorial before
The space marine captain from AOBR is equiped with a bolt pistol, look it up in the black reach maazine
What did u use for the green stuff on the bases?
I really liek the bases !
Have you ever painted Blood Ravens?? I would like to see that :)
what one is purple and gold?
can vanilla space marines take stormbolters cheap? if so, then you might want to change the bolt pistol for one. if i remember right you're not getting the +1 for offhand from the bolt pistol because you have a relic blade, so the extra shot before you charge would probably be nice.

how about the forgeworld red scorpions
hey Alex,
Very tidy conversion. for a paint scheme how about something really outlandish, quartered like someone mentioned howling griffons, lots asking for purple and saw some asking for imperial fists. howling griffons would be both, or stormlords , your red techniques with the clean white would look wicked
looking forward to it.
D
mine fleshtearer captain has powerweapon, stormbolter, jumppack, aterfisher amor and melta bombs always works with my army
The Emperor's Pointy Sticks!

Marines Malevolent!
I say Ultramarines. A common chapter! Nice job on the convention.
Do you get the whole Command squad or only recommend getting certain guys? Such as the standard bearer.
Nice vid :) where did you get the relic blade from?
Howling Griffons please! A 2 tone space marine would look so cool.
Sehr schöner Umbau! Love it!
Blood Raven's? or Ultramarines. Lg
you know i did the same thing with my extra captain but used the thunderhammer from the death company! still u did a great job. :3
I would love to see you tackle the Salamanders; I don't think you've done them before.
@FearGFX Sounds like a pretty good scheme you got there :)
Hawk Lords! Let's see something different - purple and gold.
ULTRAMARINES!!!!
also, could you do a Calgar tutorial?
I would like to vote up three times. One for the large amount of captains you have, another por the nice conversion, and the last for the review.
And I vote for the Angry Marines!
Blood raven, imperial fist or red scorpion ( that what think theyre call. It from the babad war )
Your models are so well painted awsome work, the Captain Conversion is awesome as well. If you want a real challenge why not try to to paint him Novamarines style?
@Raatcharch Or maybe White Scars.
Howling griffons would be cool.
I think u should use space wolves chapter
I'd like to see the Hawk Lords
With Relic Blades you get +2 Strength, but you don't get the extra attack from the weapon.
I'd like to see my own Blood Angels variant, but that unlikely so I'll stick with Blood Angels
I would say Imperial Fists or Crimson Fists, but my preference would be Imperial Fists, because I've never seen any painting tutorials for them :)
Dark Angels! ... AGAIN!
@gav0909 She already has made a BC tut dude :)
@monstermorrill Black Reach doesn't even include a legal army list....it wouldn't surprise me that the captain is illegally equiped.
If I was taking a Relic Blade (30pts), I would probably replace the bolt pistol with a stormbolter (3pts), a bolter with Hellfire rounds (10pts), or a Storm shield (15pts). Too bad you can't take the stormbolter with hellfire rounds.
my company master for my Dark Angels has a Thunderhammer and Combi weapon...works for me ^_^
oh and as for colors, a pre heresy emperor's children would be a nice change compared to normal dark a grity variety. it also doesn't help the templarcrusade01's (might not have spelt that right) Great Crusade campaign has really gotten me back into wanting to play my space marines. so maybe a couple pre heresy painting tuturiols in honor of his amazing campaign project
Please do salamanders i am looking for a how to paint salamanders cause my method sucks
Howling Griffons for the win!
In 6th edition right now the best combination is Power Fist and Plasma Pistol it's expensive but it's worth every point
howling griffons please!!
Hawk Lords.
Not in close combat when you get an extra attack with the pistol.
Well, I was going to suggest Marines Exemplar (which would tie in wonderfully with the banner-top icon) or Mortifactors, but then you said you didn't paint black ... oh bugger! :-)
If you want a real challange try WHITE SCARS white is rather difficult in my opinion,plus finding suitable colour for the cape could prove quite a challenge....Lovely conversion bt the way =]
what about some beutiful salamander green?
Jade Tigers
look in lexicanum
You do realise that is a relic bolter
"first rule about painting black...don't paint black!" ~ alexandra the captain is my favorite choice too...w/ command sqd, apothecary, chaplain(if points allow w/i reason) such devastation! i say you random offa the lexicanum, but to make a choice...minotaurs or white consuls
Doom Legion seems nice pattern :)
@darthz325 not how 40K works buddy :)
their also wearing Black Templar armour !!!
space sharks!
the black reach captain model has a relic blade by default... u didnt need to convert him... the power sword is smaller... u can check...
the black reach captain has the best equipment for a capltain... relic blade artificier armor and bolter (or bolt pistol) costs the same 145 pts total
Carcharodons
I know you are not fond of white but how about a white scar tutorial. After all white is quite chalenging to do nicely if a bit bland
@Luk4zguy97
It's been done, search "Step by step Blood Angel Commander Part 1" in youtube. A great series she did a couple of years back.
I'd love to see him as a White Scar honestly. I mean he can't be a Dark Angles/blood angles/Space wolves, since that would make him unplayable :)
storm wardens would be great
Maybe my Steel Fists maybe
I've always liked the way Mentors look and you dont see very much of them
hahaha with the DA FAQ you can have a Company master with Twin lightning claws, stormbolter, plasma pistol, and melta bomb xD ive made one, pretty pic in game too ^_^

I haven't seen anyone paint a White Scar before, if you felt so inclined.
hehehe... Crusade Lions! :)
Dark Angels!
Alexandra- I heard you say you had plenty of space marine captains....but I don't. Would you be willing to paint him as an ultramarine (Sicarius) and sell him as a commission?????? TKS!
@ISpoonmanI It's been done, search "Step by step Blood Angel Commander Part 1" in youtube. A great series she did a couple of years back.
Imperial Fists
Blood Angel
Angry Marines!
dark angels
white scars or hawk lords
BLOOOOOOOD ANGELS!!! plz cause the only easy way to paint red armour that ive seen is with an airbrush and i dont have one !!!
