Wardens of the Fang Community Model Showcase!

A few months back friend of the channel Longfang made some posts about a homebrew chapter he was thinking of making. Thing escalated and this video has now happened. Enjoy!

"They painted the beans"

[@DeathInTheSnow]

To be fair, the furries usually come up with some of the best chapter schemes. I love seeing homebrew armies, not just space marines. Some of the stuff is inspired and inspiring! I always enjoy when people talk passionately about their custom army!

[@Hugme778]

Obisidian jaguars have a goated scheme

[@blueque5636]

Crazy to see one of my miniatures appearing in a video like this, thank you and thank Longfang for the inspiration!

[@ElCorintio74]

In the Latin American community there was a similar case a couple of years ago with tactical foxes. A player created the chapter and part of the background and the community did the rest. It is worth mentioning that said player had an autism condition.

[@Longfang91]

Oh that's brilliant! I love to see stuff like that.

[@warpjediAK]

Well as im on a mission to paint a guy from 100 differnt chapters, I'll definitely do one of these wardens now.

[@librarianseth5572]

I imagine each ship in the fleet is a bit like a different clan or community on a different island, with the crew rooting for the marines on board their ship like a sport team or a home-town hero. As for why I have this head-canon, I like it when marines and their support personnel have informal non-hierarchical relationships.

[@xGamermonkeyx]

I think we were all feeling pretty chuffed with our efforts across the board, and then Heretics and Heroes came in and just blew us all out of the water lmao 😂 Fr tho, everyone has done such amazing work on their minis I'm proud of all of us for making what is essentially almost a Combat Patrols worth of minis in this scheme!

[@voidimperatrix406]

This was such an incredible selection of minis, my offering feels a little meager in comparison but I am honoured that it was shown nonetheless. A little peak behind the curtains, I was really rushing to meet the deadline and didn't actually paint the eye lenses of the helmet on his belt.

[@mazubahtender]

So the hazard stripes on the Rogue Trader Terminator I painted was a complete accident :D When I bought a 2nd ed Space Hulk box, I got a bunch of 3d printed Rogue Trader terminators. The fists had sculpted on indented diagonal lines, they just naturally lended themselves to hazard stripes. All the other ones I am going to be painting as my home-brew renegade Space Marine chapter called the Howling Dissidents.

[@anotherzingbo]

Thank you for your kind words about my attempt, guys! And everyone else's models look great, with some genuinely spectacular pieces on display. 🙂 Longfang - my offer still stands, I'd be happy to send my model to you. The head on my model is a 3rd party resin one from Spellcrow.

[@HereticsHeroes]

Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words and the shoutout! And congrats to all the other artists, some really great stuff in here!

[@YossarianVanDriver]

The part of my brain that's like "ancient Celts probably used more regular paint, not woad, because woad is a dessicant and will completely destroy your skin" vs the part like "well, but space marines have super space skin, maybe they can use it fine" Anyway, super cool to see the range of stuff even dip into some specialist games!

[@Longfang91]

Oh, my bad. I guess my brain goes to woad after playing some kind of strategy game as a kid that had a unit called "Woad Raiders" hah.

[@YossarianVanDriver]

@@Longfang91 Oh yeah this isn't common knowledge or anything, haha-- I just happen to chat with some Celticists sometimes so I absorb little bits of flotsam and jetsam of useless information like this. And it only sticks with me 'cause I love that facet of history (and indeed age of empires, one of my favourite games still!)

[@Longfang91]

@@YossarianVanDriver yeah, I ended up doing a little wiki dive after it and seems like Julius Caesar said that the Britons used to colour their bodies in "vitrum" which *can* mean woad but he might have been referring to the colour rather than a dye. Fun reading!

[@arturmical]

Thank you for the mention

[@Lex-Cypher]

Suffering men with funny heads vibes. Love it. Awesome work from the people.

[@alignmentink]

Absolute love this!

[@tremolo_painter]

One idea, adopted with humour, painted with love in so many different interpretations... these are happy days to be a nerd :)

[@leaguesmanoframsgate]

Behold! The Spaceboys of the Long!

[@3picdermis223]

"great" to see, that I am not the only person with the Elden ring hand trauma.

[@RubyGalaxyYT]

So good to see celtic stuff in the hobby, I really appreicate that! Every entry looked great.

[@roli112233]

I love the limp arms on the wolfskin on the third model! Reminds me of gabumon!

[@CptMonstruoso]

Awesome! Such a lovely team effort

[@wanderingpaws3111]

Sometimes... Just sometimes... The internet can be beautiful.

[@rorythomas9469]

Lef-tenant, don’t let the Americans, or worse the French win.

[@jimmysmith2249]

Agreed!

[@Matt-FRESHMINTY]

I may have to give one of these a go, looks fun

[@alric8940]

Honestly you could also work in some Roman bits and take some inspiration from the barbarian auxiliary cores of the Roman Empire since the imperium is basically role

[@Benjamin-zs4kz]

painted the toe beans lmfao

[@skazkatzroy3444]

Fardens of the Wang!

[@pendantblade6361]

Those are some neat minis

[@teecefamilykent]

Fantastic paintwork! Looking forward to the next video.

[@tenletters5889]

I saw the post on blusky but I thought I didn't have a spare marine to paint with. I forgot I had bought an entire strike force justian box and now I'm kicking myself

[@TVforyourCats]

Love the color scheme!

[@malcolmfitzgerald6801]

Dark angel bolt guns are still red in their codexes.

[@j.e1334]

Successors with Britannic or Anglo-Saxon influences seem to be a popular set of ideas banging about Space Wolves' fans' heads. Hell, banging around my head, too - just search Greymanes 40k if you're at all interested. There are certainly similarities but nothing is wholly original, and we're all playing in someone else's IP hence why I'm not clutching pearls and crying 'ripoff!'. I think LongFang has created a cool successor.
