r/FirstbornSpaceMarines

Just finished this librarian for my Crimson Fists and with it the last model for my Firstborn Crimson Fists army. I‘ll post some pics soon.

A couple of rescaled devastators squads for my homebrew

Little lore dump:
When a battle brother of the Oathforged chapter dies, only a sentence is spoken for him when is ritual broken blade is collected: “Your oath is fulfilled, from now we shall carry your weight”. This ritual gain a physical aspect in the creation of new weapons and power armor for the neophytes of the chapter who found themselves often with reforged armors that combine pieces of different patterns as mean to continuously carry the oaths of the brother who came before. Sometimes this takes the form of a full set of armor reforged from sets of the same mark and in other cases it brings together different marks of armor.
The tradition is one of the various that the Oathforged have to honour their fallens and their deeds.
The tradition still survives in the Era Indomitus with the Ignigast of the chapter (the techmarines) that sometimes heavily modify the Mark X pattern of armor albeit with less frequency than before

The freehands are mostly here for show, since I am going to keep working on him, but I needed him paintedup so here he is.

I made him with the devastator kit mostly + a few space wolf bits.

I finally finished them up, I tried out the contrast paint on them and worked with browns.

I learned that I do not like contrasts, but they work really well for plasma glow etc. When applied over white and also that I need new brown paints since my dark brown has insane coverage no matter how I mix it and the light brown has a lot of white pigment.

Overall, the painting was time consuming and a bit painfull but that might be because I moved and dont have my painting setup in here yet.

So I wanted to do something completely different and go with majority of rule of cool! I always wanted to do a “not so Chaos looking” Chaos army lol.

I thought of like a Chapter that rejected the Primaris and decided to do their own thing and stray from the imperium. Nothing too fancy.

Starting off with a squad of “Legionaries.” I like the way they look, only thing I’m on the fence about keeping is the marine with the signum array. I’m counting him as having a bale fire tome, I just thought it looked cool.

Let me know what yall think.

Sneak peak of a project I’m working on.

Am new to the group so thought I’d share a handful of the first born marines I’ve done, I wasn’t around when they were in print unfortunately but I’m loving doing them, I just paint rather than play so forgive weapon choices and such I just thought they were cool so I put them on
