Description
Started collecting a Space Marine army, so i decided to post this. Hopefully, pics of the now complated captain and Dreadnought will be on soon!This is just a sketch i did, and 'updated' it using PSP.
An official description:
"998. model bolter: Godwyn pattern with ammo counter, sinister/dexter locking mechanism and sickle magazine containing .30 rounds of .75 calibre bolts with diamantine tips, depleted deuterium core & mass reactive detonators. Fires in 4 round bursts."
"The bolter is the preferred weapon of the Adeptus Astartes. Each bolter must be fashioned by hand, either in the Chapter's own armouries or on a forge world of the Adeptus Mechanicus. A bolter is a rare and treasured weapon; but in the hands of a Space Marine it is a divine instrument of the Emperor's wrath."
Both extracts are taken from the Codex: Space Marines.

OMG, it's a BOLTER ^^
strange thing, the bolter is one of the most basical weapon of the Adeptus Astartes and maybe one of the most popular!

Its Uranium. The GW changed the names of many common objects in the world to put them into the game and sound special.
Crono = Wrist Watch
Re-Cafe = Coffee
Reading the fluff helps out with the stuff. Don't ask why I read the backstories.

My own chapter, the Imperium Overwatch. As soon as i can get some pics of them, i will. My main thing is that the chapter has strong links with the Imperium, and i will show this by including some Daemon-Hunter models in my army. (my chapter-master's gonna have GK terminator armour and i'm going to have some GK's as veterans.)
