Spears Of Ares custom Space Marine chapter

[person person]

Beautiful work, love the venerable dreadnought, and...well everything else!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Here's another photo. This Spears Of Ares Dreadnought, Deimos, is armed with a multi-melta. I combined scenic urban rubble basing with the army's standard mosaic tile basing for this model.

I love that Terminus. Very clever and just plain awesome. I myself also use Greek names for my custom Chapter, though it's safe to say that I didn't go any further than that. Keep up the brilliance, Mr Scorpion.

I'd love to see a few more pics of the Terminus, and maybe even those Super-Heavies you alluded to...

[Brass Scorpion]

Thanks. Pictures of the Superheavies like all the pictures here reside in my [URL="http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-user.jsp?u=13937"]Dakkadakka Gallery[/URL]. Here's a sample photo:

Good looking chapter idea, can you provide a bit more fluff or background info. Thanks

Here's a photo of the three Ironclad Dreadnoughts of the Spears Of Ares chapter. Arms are removeable and interchangeable. These ancient warriors are named Phobos (Fear), Atreus (Fearless), and Athos (Immortal). One of these models is a conversion of an Assault On Black Reach Dreadnought while another was built with the ordinary Space Marine Dreadnought model. By stretching the extra parts that came with a single Ironclad kit and acquiring just a couple extra arms, I actually have seven arms for the three Ironclads and can switch them around as appropriate for the type of game being played. A larger version of this photo is available in my Dakkadakka Gallery.



Thanks for the interest. Here's a wee bit of background. The Spears Of Ares are a mysterious chapter known to venerate technology and knowledge. While their motives are often shrouded in secrecy it is known that they have close connections at times to the Adeptus Mechanicus. They also revere what little knowledge they've been able to recover of ancient Athens, admiring both the ancient city's warrior ethic and their constant quest for knowledge and enlightenment. This makes them secretive in the xenophobic and superstitious environment that surrounds them outside their home world. Warriors of the chapter shed their given names when they are enlisted and adopt names from ancient Greek culture and mythology.

Here's the newest addition to the Spears Of Ares heavy support team, a Land Raider Redeemer. Highlights include decorative conversion to the top front door and on top of the main hull.

Lookin' sharp, split Mechanicus skull is cool.

I finished painting more Land Raiders for this army just a few days ago. Here's a photo of all four Land Raiders for this army traveling in diamond formation. As usual, a larger version of this photo is available for viewing and voting in my [url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/108381-Land%20Raider%20Diamond%20Formation.html?m=2]Dakkadakka Gallery[/url].
