Currently have been working on a Skitarii Army which turned into a War Convocation. Nothing is completely finished, just a WIP. Originally rushed to get them done for a tournament and had just put 3-5 colors, inked them, and based them. Have been going back re-highlighting them. Haven't played or modeled much in the past 3-4 years and recently just gotten into it again. I need to really stop selling my Armies.

Not sure what the end of this Army will become, plan on more Vanguard, Dune Crawlers, Walkers, Robots, and 2 more Knights at least. I'm kind of at a loss for Admech as far as conversion possibilities, I'm sure there are many I just don't like the way the parts go together, makes it hard for conversions. I love to convert, as you can see below had to convert some more arc rifles! I always somehow drift from Warhammer 40k but hopefully this time is different, my wife has gotten into Harlequins.

The back story is they are investigating a STC at a nearby Necron Tomb World. Original concept was investigating a nearby Chaos inhabited planet by the Eye of Terror that was being controlled by a Sorcerer mutating the area turning it green as an illusion to draw people there.



Overview of the Army on my painting table.



Another shot of the Army. Just won an auction for a new Icarus Autocannon for the Knight above, I kind of butchered it when I took it off for a tournament, so I am magnetizing the turret this time. I'm a firm believer in WYSIWYG.



Originally was my Warlord with the Servo Arm he is still kind of a work in progress.



Not happy with how the Destroyers turned out going to start reworking them.

I will be working on some more Destroyers, the 6th Breacher and a Culexus next. Plus I will be magnetizing and working on another Knight that I just picked up!

Magnetizing my Paladin for carapace weapons tonight. This is why you don't tear their carapace weapons off and thanks to my wife who carved into the carapace for me.

Finished my Knight! He was my prototype. Thus his name is Protos!

Great looking army . We'll probably be needing some CUs to appreciate the difference when you start adding highlights and extra details.

They're an excellent table top standard considering the time it took you to paint.

D

Thank you, yes I will definitely have to take close ups tonight! I was working on my Culexus assassin last night after I finished my Knight up with his magnetizing.

Here is a top picture of him. I am not that great at painting Red. When I did Blood Angels I had to do Flesh Tearers because my Red was so bad. Hence why I didn't do a Mars Pattern army! My friend taught me how to paint white. I really like how it turned out and am quite proud. First attempt at using big decals, I ruined the first decal set and luckily my LGS hooked me up with another set for free! That is why I do at least 80-90% of my buying at my LGS.



My Illness grew with my Admech doubled my Destroyers and finished the last Breacher. My regret was not magnetizing my Destroyers and Breachers. Dominus is very much still a work in progress, he is on the side block for now though.



Going to finish my Culexus tonight. Yes close ups and a better back drop. My Photoshop skills are non existent.

WIP of Culexus

Spent Sunday afternoon after I played a 750 Point game magnetizing my old Knights arm joints with the new Knights weapon arms rather than building him. Got the inspiration from someone on the forum doing a commission Knight with all the weapons magnetized. Magnetized at the joint, only thing I could not magnetize was the Thermal Cannon but I do not forsee me ever using it. Only regret was trading my original Knights additional weapon sprue away. Thank goodness for Ebay I guess! Not done but getting there, not happy with how the Stormspear Missile Pod turned out and going to have to touch it up tonight and highlight.

Next project is slowly building my other Knight and spending time actually painting him in stages. Have a game coming up on Sunday against Guard.

Looks like you got a lot to do!

How many armies have you had? I know how it feels selling armies then regretting it a little Really need to keep focus on one thing!

I have owned more than I am proud of, 40k+ Points of Imperial Guard, Space Wolves 2x, Orks 3x, Death Guard, Emperors Children, SOB and that does not include WFB.

Been busy at work but took a picture of my small army I'll be playing tomorrow, I'll take more pictures of my second knight done! My Baron which I haven't decided a name for yet!

That's quite an impressive army you have there.

Have been working on High Lighting my Kataphron Destroyers. I have to start working on my Display Board for Saturday.

Nice looking stuff Spacewolverine. I'm always looking for some good AdMech inspiration! Subbed.

Thanks Gitsplitta! Time to start working on my display board for this weekend!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Took the cork board and elmers glued watercolor poster to it and now waiting for it to dry while it's being pressed..

Cool. I know the pain/regret of not magnetising weapon options. I now magnetise everything, but the biggest problem with that is it increases time to finish models by a factor of 10...I'd still say it's worth it though.

Judging from your basing going to be a woodland /forest display board?

D

Yes, Necron Tomb world will be done, they need to find the STC rumored on the world!

Got the idea from Fritz on youtube. Cork Board glue a piece of Art Card board over it.



Added flock after it dried over night.



Still WIP definitely, shook off the board this morning, I'm still in the process of reflocking, a lot of it came off so touching it up. After its done adding trees and Necron scarabs to it. I was going to buy a Monolith and cut the top off it to have it sticking up off the ground but atm just will not happen.

Made a very generic display board out of a cork board frame just like that and a cheap wooden lazy-susan I picked up from Wal-Mart. Works great and the lazy susan can be re-positioned on the base and spun to show off the models on display.

That is a great idea Gitsplitta, I may have to do that.

Finished up my Display Board last night and this morning! Turned out great, have it segmented for each Detachment in the War Convocation. Not sure I have room for the Scarabs like I was originally going to do, we will see tonight. Took forever to cover up lose patches though. Decided to go picture happy with my Army I'm taking this weekend to a Tournament.

Whole Army!



Vanguard with my converted Phosphoenix



Infiltrators



Runestalkers



Dominus and his band of Kataphron Destroyers. Not happy with how his Hood turned out, I used 3 layers/shading of red.



Rangers



Dune Crawler and Ironstrider



My Baron Knight!

Your army looks fantastic on the board. Should earn you high marks for painting and display.

Thanks, I appreciate it Gitsplitta! I hope it does, and wish I was a better photographer just took some snap shots on the way into work. Took 2 1/2 days to complete the board and my what a pain. Joked with my Wife not sure I will be doing that again. Lessons learned though, stain it next time and do that first. Then base coat the board before applying flock covering up white is such a pain .

I really like the use of actual pieces of wood... I may have to try that myself some day.

Its some kind of cured wood, I bought my original pack for my Flames of War guys 8-9 years ago at a train shop and it never warped, changed colors or anything. I found the same thing recently at Hobby Lobby, it is called Dead Fall and brand is Woodland scenics.

I always have loved the way dead logs look on bases.

Thanks, I'll go check it out.

Sweet looking army!! Good luck with the tournament

Tournament was a absolute blast. I'd never played Necrons... Boy I made some silly deployments and moves against him. Went 1/1/1. Was a blast though. Played Blood Angels my first game won, played Necrons my second lost, tied my last game against Khorne Daemonkin.

Think I'm going to start working on a Monster Robot Mash now. Have to buy 6 Robots, 3 more destroyers and another Dominus. Gotta figure out a good Army list for it.

I was reminded today why I played 40k. Have not had this much fun since 3rd Edition!

Congratulations on the tournament and the excellent army, it is always great to see more Ad Mech goodness. This is one of the larger painted armies I have seen on Dakka.

It will be great to see some Kastellans added to the army. Points wise they are expensive but in game they can be vicious. Personally I love the miniatures too, I have 4 of them myself.

Thanks, its a disease I swear!

I will be buying Kastellans in the next week to start working on. I'm going to be buying some of those head replacements I think!

Glad you had a good day... welcome back.

Have not gotten around to anything I've wanted to really. Have been changing my one Ironstrider in the list to have a TL Lascannon and I have been working on matching my whites on the Knights. Drove me nuts at the tournament. Took me the past 2 days to match the whites then added more battle damage. Have to come up with a new Knight Crest... (Long story short..... Accidentally got white on a decal and could not wash it off until the decal cracked.... Go figure OCD me) Going to be going to Hobby Lobby and buying some Cogs and using the Admech symbols in the Knight boxes inside the Cog on the shields. Tired of working on the Knights but eh... Its fun! Stompy! Protos now is The Ripper and my Baron finally has a name... Baron Boomer!

Together, not the best shot but you can see the whites!



Protos the Ripper! Much happier with how he turned out!



Baron Boomer! Very pleased with his paint job.



I am not the best painter but quite happy with how these turned out.

Won an ebay auction for another Stormspear Rocket Pod and Meltagun, not sure if they will go on The Ripper or not!

Thanks for the comments and it is good to be back. Little one has been keeping my wife and I quite busy, so much for getting some Kastellans atm!

Also.... My wife did paint her first Harlequin!

Looking good. Very tricksy elder!

Have re-fallen in love with going straight Skitarii to focus on. Bought a Dragoon, ordered another and won an auction for another Aquebus.

Wife did me a favor and combined my rule books and codex's into a binder for me then tabbed it out! Never did post it before but she did it for that last tournament I was playing. Her awesome cover she did for my binder!



Work bench last night.



Couldn't sleep last night so I assembled the Dragoon I bought. I still have to clean it up though.



Group shot of whats complete of my Skitarii minus the one Aquebus and 2 Dragoons. Going to have to figure a new way to display and needing to make a light box.



Wife continuing to work on her Harlequins! Obviously still WIP!




She is much more daring then me, I've always stayed away from checkering.

Working on a Imquisitor Coteaz model. Not bad for kitbashing what was in the bits bin. Any suggestions? I need to get a smaller base for him though.

After getting very excited about new Raven Guard formations have always been a huge fan of Ravens because of Edgar Allen Poe, love his poetry. Still awaiting my Forgeworld order but may I present Chaplain Edgar (I know original right... Wife named him)

Chaplain looks great so far. I'ma keep an eye on this.

Nice captain.

Interesting take on Coteaz , is that to fit in with the Ad Mech stuff or just not liking the original model?

EDC

@evildrcheese - Thanks, I don't like the Coteaz model at all and was just a fun conversion piece to fit in with my Admech.

@War Kitten - Thanks!

Finished up the flight line minus raven guard shoulder pads and heads.

Nice build!

@Gitsplitta - Thanks, I am very excited to finish assembling them!

I still have 2 Landspeeders and 2 Storm Talons to assemble. Then 15 Tacticals and 5 Devs but cannot do much till my FW order comes in.

Have the Storm Talons and Landspeeders assembled now, glass cockpits aren't glued in just there so I don't lose them. I was shocked at how snug the weapon options for the Storm Talons fit, did not need to magnetize them like I was originally going to.

List will be interesting to run, I can see running variants of it because I think it will get boring and one dimensional after 3-4 games. Hindsight is always fun! Hopefully my FW orders come in this week so I can finish up the tacticals, devastators and not have so many headless and shoulder padless marines.

Looks great! Lots of interesting models to paint there.

Got a nice surprise, FW stuff came ahead of what I expected! Then my wife washed, cleaned and sorted them for me while I was at work. Realized I should of bought more brass etching and a decal sheet. Though I may just use the smaller brass ravens for the scouts.

Tomorrow night will be putting together the Tacticals and the Devastators finally! I was super happy my wife was like just start putting the rest together and stop worrying about your FW shipment. Made tonight a lot more fun and easier putting the shoulder pads and helmets on.

@Gitsplitta - Thanks, I am excited to paint them! I want to put them all together first though. Not sure why just the way I do things.

Very impressive stuff.

Nice supply drop. Must be nice to finally complete the assembly.

So, moving onto painting now?

EDC

Looks like a cool bunch. but honestly, I would have started the painting already before the FW stuff arrived. Now it's going to a be a bitch to reach every nook & cranny on those jump pack marines.

@Warboss_Waazag - Thanks!

@Evildrcheese - I agree, I am going to finish putting together the rest of the Tacticals and Devastators tonight then start painting over the weekend!

@Meph - Appreciate it! I agree about the jump packs hind sight is always fun!

Finished putting together the torsos on the legs this morning for the start of the Tacticals/Devastators, once they are done going to start priming!

Looking good @spacewolverine! I have my company getting close. Just my Dev squad to build, and I need an hq - then I'll be done with the Pinion! I just need the storm talons and speeder to play a legit Talon Strike Force though...boo...I am just using box shoulder pads for now and I'll go back later and pop off pads (I glued really lightly) or put on the transfer sheet from FW.

But I'm a crazy impatient gamer...LOL

Looks solid! How many assault marines and vanguards do you have? Are you going for the skyhammer annihilation force?

@Castellan Alaric - Thanks, appreciate it. That's my problem, I save until I can buy what I want for a Army, I like doing it right the first time. List I'll be running with them is as follows, it is the same as my list I posted before over on the Army List forums:

Pinion Demi-Company

Chaplain - Raven's Fury, Melta Bomb
5x Tactical Marines - Lascannon
5x Tactical Marines - Lascannon
5x Tactical Marines - Lascannon
5x Scouts - 4 Snipers, Camo Cloak
10x Assault Marines - Jump Packs, 2 Eviscerators, Sergeant w/ Powerfist (Chaplain will go here)
5x Devastators - 4 Plasma Cannons

Raptor Wing

2x Landspeeders w/ Typhoons
2x Stormtalons w/ Skyhammer Missiles

Shadowstrike Kill Team

5x Scouts - BP/CCW's
5x Scouts - BP/CCW's

6x Vanguard - Jump Packs, 3 Lightning Claw's, 2 Storm shields, 1 Powerfist
6x Vanguard - Jump Packs, 3 Lightning Claw's, 2 Storm shields, 1 Powerfist


29 Total Jump Packs.

Have been busy with work and trying to get my army somewhat painted and based by Sunday to try to get in some games with them. See how it goes, this is the progress over the past couple days. White is just a base coat on the Vanguard. Love the Forgeworld torso's, shoulder pads and backpacks. The backpacks are unreal! Need to take pictures behind them tonight.

My my, quite the industrious one aren't you. Do you have a time line to get these all done by or is Sunday the final deadline?

@Knightley - Thanks, I try to be! I don't have a timeline to be finished, I just want them table top ready by Sunday. If they aren't that's okay too. I will be doing small details later.

That'll be spectacular when complete Spacey..

Will you be doing anything special with the basing?

@Gitsplitta - I am super excited for them to be done and I definitely agree they will hopefully!

@Knightley - Yes I bought some slate from Tarnag that I will be using, I may take some of them off there bases to put slate underneath. Time will tell. The slate is amazing though!

Worked on my Talons this morning will have to post pictures tonight.

Look great man! I started up on my tacticals first. My problem is this: I prime black which rocks to get everything the color it's supposed to be, but then moving forward getting everything to not look lame matte black is tough. I tried a light grey drybrush to pick out the details on my first 5 tacticals and it helped. Also, the texture paint I'm using to base with a nice drybrush looks awesome. Are you going to put color markings on the assault marines? I'm doing 4th company so all my guys will have green trim, but I know assault marine squads in Raven Guard have red on the pads, so I'm going to have to figure out a way to get that into my models too.

SO MANY DETAILS

Good show boss! Super jealous of the storm talons. I think that's my next formation I'm going to build is the raptor wing, then the shadowstrike team and then skyhammer to finish it off. What are you thoughts on land speeder storms for the scouts? Proxied some and it worked decently well actually.

@Castellan Alaric - No idea on storms. I am going to buy Scout Bikers next. I will be putting color markings eventually when I get done moving around my Heavy weapons and find a list I like.

Got to play with them today. Still no bases but at least look decent on the table. I fell in love with the models today while I was playing. Really a blast from the past to be honest due to the beakies and studded shoulder pads.

Next up detailing and I cannot decide on bases. I wanted to do the slate but I'm almost thinking of my normal static grass and brown gravel basing material to make the models pop. If I go with the Slate they are complete black and grey with it.

Here are pictures I took after gaming on my painting table again. They still need a lot of loving. Just happy I could feel comfortable gaming with them! Won both times but we're tough.

Have been working on my Chaplain all night and this morning. Still WIP. Stumped on what I want to do with his wings and still unsure about basing. Realized last night I had a mold line on his command frill so had to get rid of that this morning.

Not sure how I am going to get the skull with wings to pop on his head too, it just blends in. Thinking of painting it gold.

You've been very productive! Kinda hard to see what's going on with the chappy. He looks solid though. Love the studded shoulder pad, very old-school.

@Gitsplitta - Thanks man I really keep saying it but need to invest in a light box.

A better picture of the front of him.

Yeah, that is better. Trying to figure out what's going on with his forehead... is that chipping or something else?

It's a skull with wings. I agree, I need to figure out what to do with it, need to paint it a different color than white. Kind of wish I would of filed it off.

Finished my Assault Marine Sergeant, been working on a Drop Pod and kiting out one of my Tactical Squads to have Melta guns and Combi Meltas. Got two Landspeeder Storms in and my Centurion Devastators. Will be working on them tonight! Then working more on my Assault Squad. Have been busy during Thanksgiving seeing my family.

Looking good wolverine! Dig the chappy too, he looks solidly chaplain-y lol I also enjoy the FW pads and upgrades you have, they give that RG character that I'm missing without transfers and such. My wife is getting my betrayal at calth for Christmas, though so my RG are going to get much bigger, very quickly. It's also going to get me into 30k, which is cool too.

Keep up the good work!

@Castellan Alaric - Thanks, I appreciate it.

I am at a impass, with my Centurions I am debating to put Beakies on them or possibly the Crusader style helmet.

My current work bench still. Assault Marines are done, put together two Landspeeder Storms, and I'm touching up my Vanguard at the moment. Still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with there bases. I still need a light box.

I like the look of the regular guys with terminator lightening claws. Basing is important. Usually can't hurt a figure but it can make them look fantastic if done right.

@Gitsplitta - I agree Git, they are actually straight from the Vanguard box.

I got around to basing them all using the slate I was talking about earlier in the post, so worth it, I've based 80+ models and I'm only half way through the first tub of two. There bases came out exactly how I was hoping, could not resist and had to redo the display board with the slate and put them on it even if the models are not done being painted. Hope you enjoy and also more WIP on my one Vanguard squad!

Chaplain finished with make shift lightbox.

Looks great. I love the use of the winged jump pack for the RG.

Chaopy and vanguard are looking great.

The shot of the entire force looks really impressive too.

EDC

Chappy looks great. Excellent detail and choice of colors. You need to snag a fine point illustration pen so you can add some squiggled to those purity seals.

Epic man! Looking great! Getting cold here in Texas (YES it gets cold in Texas...) and it's getting more difficult to prime models. I should get both of my units done I have primed, but I am lazy lol. Dig the cockpits on your talons, I love that blue.

Keep up the good work boss!

@brushcommando - Thank you, was well worth the expense of buying the set of blood angels honor guard. Have enough for 4 more characters.

@Evildrcheese - Thanks, I thought painting a all black army would be easy. Nope.

@Gitsplitta - Yes I do, then learn from the master of squiggles Knightley.

@Castellan Alaric - Thanks, I live in Texas too, just further south in the Killeen area, had to wait till last Thursday to prime. I made sure everything was assembled so I could.

I am working on the Vanguard now. Have 2 of them done so far.

That chaplain looks nice! Have you thought about maybe a line highlight of grey along the edges of the wings? At the moment they don't really stand out from the backpack.

 Castellan Alaric wrote:

That probably means 'summer temperature' for everyone in the UK.
Was in Texas in August and it was HOT

Love what your doing with the RG.
I think the wings on the chappy's backpack need something to make them stick out more.

@Warboss_Waaazag - I have highlighted it with eshin Gray but you cannot tell from the pictures.

@Zambro - Thanks and I agree I want to do something special but first attempted yielded bad results so I went conservative.

1st of 3 Vanguard squad complete. I am beginning to hate painting white.

Have been a productive week, finished the Vanguard. Owe better pictures. Scouts and Devastators are complete as well.

Could not sleep yesterday, so decided to make a Captain model. I'm normally not a big fan of bare heads but found a great one when looking through my bits. I did not like the original captain I made so remade him. Hope y'all enjoy.

Very nice. Even nice work on the base too.

Nice work on the captain. I'm not a fan of bare heads either, but he looks great nonetheless!

Cool captain. Have you considered going the wings a different colour? I think white wings would looks excellent on that mini.

EDC

@Gitsplitta - Thanks brother!

@Bash the Bosh - Appreciate it, the head just spoke to me, reminded me of Corvax pictures in 40k artwork.

@EDC - Thanks, I have been seriously contemplating that, I want to keep it looking like Raven wings and not Angel wings. I need to figure out a way to make them stand out more. Maybe more light gray highlights on the edges and tips of the feathers.

Looking awesome! Will you run them as those relic claws from the new kayoun book? Swiftstrike and murder just sound so cool. I'd agree some more contrast on his wings would be nice - some grey edge highlighting could work solid, or my solution would be a nice delicate drybrush to pick out the edges of the feathers. I'm a fan of keeping the RG simple. They are subtle in the armor ornamentation, which I'm trying to figure out how to keep that theme there without my models looking super flat. I'll probably wash most most of my colors I put on them black to keep them 'stealthier' lol

Love the progress boss! I'm kind of in hobby shut-down until after the holidays. I had a real big push to finish assembling my pinion company, but until I get my BaC box from Christmas I'm kind of indifferent to painting :/ Also the weather down here has been so back and forth I can't pin down a day to prime. Muggy/rainy/70 one day and dry/cold/45 the next...oh the joys of "winter" in Texas.

Keep up the good work!

@Castellan Alaric - Yes I will be running them as Swiftstrike and Murder!

Have a 1800 tournament the begining of January I am preparing for and touching up my Raven Guard. Still have to do my Stormtalons and Landspeeders, have been putting it off.

I broke and redid the wings as all of you suggested. I love the way they turned out and hopefully added depth. I kept reworking the front of my Captain as I don't know how but people always think he's just another Vanguard or Vet Sergeant.

My list for the tournament will be -

Pinion Demi Company

Captain Vansh - JP, Swiftstrike and Murder
2x5 Tacticals - Lascannon
5 Tacticals - Plasma Gun
5 Sniper Scouts - Camo Cloaks
5 Devastators - 4 Plasma Cannons
5 Assault Marines - Sgt w/ Power Axe (Chaplain Edgar and Vansh will go here)

Raptorwing

2x Raptors w/ Skyhammer
1 Landspeeder w/ Heavy Bolter

Stealth Kill Team

2x 5 CCW Scouts - Melta Bomb in LSS w/ Heavy Flames
3x5 Vanguard - 3 LC, 2 SS, 2 Power Axes, 1 PF

Strike Force Command

Chaplain Edgar - Ravens Fury, Melta Bomb

Play testing has gone well so far. Struggle against high AV and gargantuans but that's to be expected.

Hope yall enjoy the update!

That Captain is gorgeous! Excellent work!

Hey! Sorry for not checking in earlier - this stuff is looking great! Enjoyed shifting through your progress with that horde of Raven Guard. Love the uniquity of your chaplain model and the use of sanguinary wings. Have to agree with what EDC said earlier though - white or bone coloured wings would make those characters shine. Great stuff all around, consider me subbed

I agree with the likes of lipsdapips, it is a lovely looking army with lots of thematic unit choices. I have always have a soft spot for Raven Guard and their lightning strike tactics.

The jump Captain and Chaplain are really nice kit bashes as well. Keep up the good work.

Wings look much better. The army shots look wicked. Great looking force you've got there.

EDC

@War Kitten - Thanks, what happens when you have insomnia and a model idea in your head!

@lipsdapips- Thanks for your kind words, you were one of my inspirations. I agree on the wings but I want to keep it dark.

@Thraxas Of Turai - Thanks, I love Raven Guard and there fluff. The turning hand of starting Raven Guard was I loved Edgar Allan Poes Poems, I was Artillery in the Army and a lot of people don't know but Edgar was a Artillery Sergeant Major.

@EDC - Thanks again, I wish Army shots turned out better.

Work in progress are Centurions and a Storm Raven. Arguably Centurions aren't too fluffy but I think air dropping them from a Storm Raven is plenty fluffy.

Raven Guard Centurians are a great addition. Any thoughts on maybe some Grav-chutes or external dampners to add to the idea of these guys doing a sort of low-altitude jump into position?

@Bash the Bosh - No I don't because the Raven deepstrikes and they unload out of it. That is a good idea for future though.

I got carried away and accidentally painted my Sternguard I kitbashed going through bits... Hope y'all enjoy!

Very nice. The gold trim is a nice addition for the vets.

EDC

Has been a good Christmas break, was helping my folks clean and start remodeling their house. Santa was good to me, some forgeworld and enough Landspeeders to do 3 Typhoons, Biker scouts and more scouts.

Hope you enjoy my WIP Bikers and Captain! Have to finish them up by Saturday have a 1800 point tournament and decided I wanted to change out the assault marines for bikes.

Yeah the bikes will probably serve you better than assault marines in a tournament. What have you armed the captain with?

EDC

@EDC - I keep my characters pretty basic. Just Swiftstrike and Murder.

Realized it's been awhile since I updated my blog. I went 2-1 in the tournament I attended, had a lot of fun. Key points I took away were 650+ points in reserve is a bad idea. One game the Storm raven, centurions and dread did not arrive till the final turn. Will be making changes to my list. Have been working on Librarians lately.

First set of pictures are my finished bikers and the last is a very WIP of my Librarians.

Just love those bikers SW... beautiful.

Ouch rough on the reserves, One trick that has helped me in the past is including an aegis defence line with the comm's array, it adds +1 to reserve rolls and really help bring in the reserves. Also the defence line is great for hiding tanks behind to get a cover save, I think its 50p base and 20p for the comm's array.

Food for thought?

@Gitsplitta - Thanks so much. Appreciate it, a lot of money and kitbashing went into them.

@Knightley - I wish I could but want to keep the Talon Strike Force, lack of points in the Army for one. It is a good idea though if I ever run a CAD + Detatchments.

Worked on my Librarians more this afternoon, I am falling more and more in love with them. They were free to make just kitbashed old bits. In the process of moving atm so my work space is a tray and working outside, at my in laws. However painting is something that relaxes me greatly, so I make do.

Head of my Librarian conclave is finished other than basing! Hope y'all enjoy. Excited will be finished moving Monday!

Beautiful figure. I like the "frosted tips" on the wings and the deep blue of the libby's armor.

@Gitsplitta - Thanks, I appreciate the deep blue on librarians more!

Finally finished moving in today. Finished up my Librarians and wanted to take a picture of them. Also wanted a picture of my HQs

Have still been in the process of moving, almost everything is situated now. On my off time have been bits bashing tactical marines from all my left overs and scouts from my scout bikers/storms bits. So far have saved about 110$. Hope y'all enjoy! I now will have 3 max strength tactical squads and 3 more squads of scouts. Converted some CCW/BP Camo cloaks!

I have been resisting the urge of the wolf howl to start Space Wolves again.... New models look great.

Finished up the Tactical Marines. Came out way above and beyond what I was hoping to achieve and wish I would of kitbashed all of them for a more dynamic look. Got carried away being in love with how the Plasma guns turned out and redid my sergeants weapon to combi plasma.

Very cool

Good stuff, mate

Those jump pack librarians are looking sweet!

EDC

Librarians are awesome. Where are those weapons and heads coming from?
I might take some inspiration for my Deathwatch !

@Knightley - Thanks!

@Zambro - Thank you!

@EDC - Thanks, I need to get some lightbox pics of them. They are turning into my favorite models rather quickly.

@RazgrizOne - Thanks, weapons are from BA Sanguinary Guard, have to file some symbols off. The helmets are from the Ravenwing Command Squad.

Very nice combination then !

Finally bought a BoC box. I am in love.... Having fun converting, building my tacticals for my second demi-company. 10 WIP, 20 more to assemble. Finally ran out of FW back packs but that's okay, they look good with HH backpacks even without the Raven emblem.

Finished up my Tactical squad this morning. I love the Command frills!

Looking good. Black is just tough to do because it's so easy to lose the model details in all that blackness. Yours don't have that issue.

@Gitsplitta - Thanks, an old friend in Ohio taught me how to add depth to black when I first started to toy with the idea of doing Raven Guard.

Working on my last 20 Tacticals while I wait on an order from Forgeworld. Plan on doing 20 more Assault Marines and 5 Vanguard. Still need to assemble two Landspeeders and paint about 20 scouts. Pardon my work bench it's pretty cluttered at the moment. BoC box did not help. When these 20 are done and I finish redoing the devastator squad will have a almost full strength Pinion and Demi Company.

Have not done an update in awhile, finished my Tacticals and Devs. I wanted to do a group shot once they were finished. Redid the helmets on my two Captains with Forgeworld MK II. Love how they turned out, such an improvement.

Have been working on Vanguard lately, I am in the process of doing a Bladewing Assault Brotherhood. Finally got all the models for it.

Still not the best photographer, tried with natural lighting, did not work out as good as I hoped but none the less hope you enjoy.

Finished up my Vanguard this morning. Probably my favorite models I've done so far. Love how the squad leader looks very much like a emperor's champion with a jump pack. Hope y'all enjoy!

That army pic is just spectacular... wow, what a beautiful force!

Wow, nice looking army!

Vanguard look good. The white really helps break up the black.

Both of you thanks, your blogs have been a source of my inspiration and ideas of how can I emulate to become a better modeler and painter myself.

Figured I'd post a tease of last night and todays work, was going to game today but wife was feeling under the weather so was watching baby and furry baby aka my dog. Got all the base coat, inked and based. Don't ask it's a old habit I always base after inking so I can highlight them and don't feel pressured to finish them fast and can take my time detailing.

Without further ado... The start of my Bladewing Assault Brotherhood. Thanks for looking as always.

Will post completed Assault Marines later today but this is what I've been working on the past day. Everyone needs a Command Squad, though I will probably never use them. Had the bits so made one. Hopefully finish them by tonight.

Nice progress being made there!

Agreed, very solid progress!

Finished Assault Marines, 4x5 with 2 flamers each. Eventually going to add decals and etchings to the other shoulder pads.

... and blood spatters... there's got to be blood spatters on the chainswords!

@Gitsplitta - If I was any good at it I would. Every time I see blood splatters I think more blood for the blood God....

@Knightley - Thanks mate.

Finished the command squad. Still not happy with the banner, I spent 4 hours on it. I tried, done messing with it. Hope y'all enjoy.

Great stuff! The banner looks great - dont worry about it!

@Zambro - Appreciate it! I am over critical sometimes.

Started working on the new Raven Guard death watch... Converted him into Shrike. Hope yall enjoy. He is an awesome model!

May I introduce the WIP of Stompy number II. My current Dread will be moved to my Demi Company and this one will take it's place in my Ravenhawk Assault Group. The goal by the end of the year is to buy 9 Drop Pods and possibly 4 Land speeder storms for the army, not that unrealistic of a goal just will be boring assembling and painting. Then possibly a Command squad on bikes for my Demi Company, I loved how the command squad for my Pinion came out. I spent yesterday putting Tactical, Dev, Assault marine markings on shoulder pads. Reminded why I hate Decals on curved surfaces so much. I'll take and upload pictures later.

Decided to update. I've decided to EBay off my Raven Guard and start a new chapter. Orks, I played Orks in 3rd edition and was going to play them again in 5th or 6th edition but too much cider drinking prevented me from that after my last deployment. I hope y'all enjoy this next chapter.

And the circle of Warhammer addiction starts again...
It's a shame, after all the work you've done for the RG. But the orks should be exciting!

Looking forward to the greenskins

Finished my Big Mek. I may have to revisit his skin but I love how he turned out.

Been awhile since I have updated, have been busy painting, real life shinnagans, and lurking forums. Wish I would of kept up but happy with the results of how they turned out. Fulfilled my image of the Army. Took them to a tournament and went 2-1, loads of fun and laughs.

Overall took me about a month and change to paint them. The pictures below the Army shot are WIP. Hope y'all enjoy!

Nicely done Spacewolverine, they look great!

A month? Dude, that's a staggering achievement!

Well done!

Wow, all that in a month is very impressive!

Thanks y'all! Finally got a new phone and the camera is awesome! I had to convert my Gorkanaut into another Morkanaut. Also a picture of my Warboss I'll never use less, I just love the model.

After going 0-5 at the Alamo GT, I started hammering list out with a friend till we figured out I could fit a Big Mek Stompa in my list at 1850 while keeping the Dread Mob. Have been busy rebasing all my guys with new bases and selling stuff on eBay to fund projects.

Drew inspiration and looted ideas from Spikey bits and saved myself 150$ converting a Big Mek Stompa with all plastic parts. Still WIP, hope y'all enjoy!

Any pics/reports from the Alamo GT, or would you prefer to forget it?

Stompa looks great so far.

EDC

@EDC - I wish I had of taken pictures. It was my first GT, I knew about a quarter of the people there. Saw a friend I hadn't seen since my second deployment which was awesome to catch up!

My first game was against a Lions Blade company, first two turns I could hit but couldn't penetrate, was awful. Multiple grenade attacks and rolling 2 1's to wound against his sergeant killed my Gorkanaut in Close combat. Same exact scenario with my CC dreads. Full BS grav overwatch was death to my Dreads as well. Was awful, opponent was great but dice killed me. I knew I was in for a long day when first game my tape measure broke.

Second game vs Eldar and a reaver titan. He seized initiative I was bunched up, 4 D Templates killing half my army and both Morkanauts pretty much game over after turn 2.

Third game vs Grey Knights, I was unfamiliar with Dread knights, made the mistake of charging single dreads and pop they go then after that charging my morkanauts and remaining dread and it was just ugly. Lucky pen rolls blew them up etc.

Fourth game vs Salamanders and Nemises Strike Force. My dice had returned but I got overwhelmed at the end by his 4 Storm Talons. Epic fight was my Mega Armor Big Mek getting out to fix a kan klaw then charging his librarian and killing him was epic!

Fifth game vs Ultra Company he seized intiative and switcherooed his scouts that infiltrated with his death star and librarian conclave and charged turn 1... I couldn't roll pens or wounds. The sides were almost unpassable and created a choke point for my Dreads and kans to get to him. Was awful again.

I had a blast at the tournament. I've made a lot of tweaks. Learned a lot, I had only played this army 3 times before the GT. I went to have fun and fun I had. I had never faced Dark Angels, Eldar or Grey Knights. D3 HOW Attacks are awesome and 'ere we go saved me on a lot of failed charges.

Finished adding more base coat to the arms and head of the Stompa.

Finished my Big Mek Stompa! One of my favorite models to date now. Still going to go back and may do some touch ups but very happy how it turned out.

Edit: Glad I took pictures. I see some plastic that needs covering up

Have been touching up my Dread Mob and redoing the bases. Touching up a lot. These are my WIP/Finished shots. I've been slowly doing my grots to all be unique. I've been working on my Stompas lifta droppa arm, still touching up but much happier. 4 layers of yellows including wash and dry brush later....

The second picture of the three Big Meks is what I've been working on.

They look fantastic man... just love them!

Very cool!

@Gitsplitta- Thanks, means a lot coming from you!

@Anpu-adom- Thanks!

I wasn't happy at all with the Painboy model, bought the old school version and wife liked the old Painboy head and new Painboys body. I realized one of his fingers broke, not sure how that happened but made a second light for him! He's not very photo genic, his eyes look horrible in the picture, touched up the yellow and skin but group shot of my Meks and Painboy and then just my Painboy. Starting work on my display board now to match my bases. Have a local ITC tournament next weekend.

Nice. All the dreads and stompa things looks great.

Nice work on the painboy.

EDC

@EDC - Thanks! Wish I could take better pictures of him. Not sure why my new phone turns all the images sideways then if you click they are normal. Wrote up kind of a battle report for you EDC.

Started working on my movement tray. Lots of fun prepping
Started texturing this morning.

Curious to see where you go with the board. Looks promising though.

@Gisplitta- Thanks and your wish is my command! It was a blast to finish and assemble.

Easy to move figures and fits my 1850 list perfectly. I went for a Armageddon city type approach.

Also I wanted more dynamic grot slavers so I am working on those now. Had to do an ear transplant!

Ah, display board and movement tray... smart!

@Gisplitta- Thanks, not exactly what probably came to mind when I posted the WIP.

Last night my wife came to me and said she was embarrassed of her painting and wanted me to touch up her models. I am trying to keep her original work intact so I am going to use it as a base coat basically. She has about 1500 points of Harlequins. Nice break from Orks. I have never painted any Eldar, Dark Eldar or Harlequins. They are The Dreaming Shadow.

First thing I wanted to do was add a dual tone to the Starweavers and Skyweavers. Picture is a WIP.

Ah, now there is a worthy project. Give her your best effort my friend but still leave her pride in tact.

@Gisplitta- Yes indeed, I have never painted pretty before.

This is going to be more of a WIP than the rest of my blog. When I get so enthralled in models I forget to go step by step. This is more of a side project and labor of love. Someone wanted me to commission paint a Knight and I turned it down because I do not paint bright Red like captain america...

So my WIP so far are the dual colors on her weavers. These models are beautiful, I did not realize how amazing they were when I started. Next phase is getting inking done and highlighting. I'm debating what colored ink on the teal. I'm thinking a green ink because I want it to be a green/teal effect. I have to figure out what to do with the Shurikan Cannons. She wants to keep them Gold which I'm going to do but maybe paint the backs a different color.

I did both a flash and non flash. So y'all can get an idea. She isn't a bad Painter, in some ways I envy her work since she has only been painting for the last year. As I said before, going to keep most her work just do some duel tones and clean up and highlight.

Really wanted some kind of force field generator on the Big Mek Stompa since it does get d6 shields and touch up the KFF on my morkanaut. I love the new copper color.

Somehow a bits order has been lost for the past week, never have had issues with the company, not there fault it's lost in Atlanta, so I had to act fast and convert for this Saturdays local ITC tournament, I was not happy with how the initial prototype came out so have been working on it adding armor plates etc. I know it's a job well done when my wife says it looks good.

Running a CAD and Dread Mob formation again hoping that the Stompa will make a difference.

CAD

Big Mek - Grot Oiler
2x 10 Grots with Slaver
Buzzgobs Big Mek Stompa- Deff Kannon

Dread Mob

Big Mek- Grot Oiler

Morkanaut

All the Big guys will have Big Meks to repair. Will be fun!

Tournament was a blast went 1-2, should of gone 2-1 but it's my fault I forgot to move a dread 6" back to an objective last turn.

First game emperors will was epic, one of my favorite people to play. He was running sisters in MM Imolators with lots of melta squads with a Knight Crusader and Knight Warden. Game was a blast, pretty much mutual destruction. Knight Warden failed the charge against my Stompa, Stompa the following turn tried to retreat and rolled 4", didn't even make it to the ruins. So I charged and killed it. Got lucky and he missed with all his attacks. Blew up and scatter to his other knight and did a hull point. Would of been awesome if I rolled a 6. Following turn the Crusader and Stompa basically killed each other with the help of Morkanauts. Lost 5-8

Next game, Relic against 6 Flying Hive Tyrants. He killed everything but my Stompa first two turns. I did nothing but kill a few venom thropes and warriors. Took the Stompa and moved him on top of the relic so his tyrants couldn't get it. They couldn't kill the Stompa by the end of the game. Lost 5-7.

Last game was against Daemons. After I grounded his princes and fate weaver I killed him with hammer of wrath attacks. Charged his invis fearless star who couldn't hurt my Morkanauts and just stayed locked. Won 13-0.

Didn't get many pics of the second game due to how fast I was dying and the last game his models weren't painted so didn't bother taking pics. Big Mek Stompa definitely helped a lot. Had a blast and lotsa fun! Won best painted/sportsmanship but obviously could only win one or the other for prizes.

Sounds like a blast! Congratulations on both wins. Your army looks fantastic! Well done man.

Congrats! It gives me hope for my own Dread Mob when I get it painted up.

@Gisplitta- Thanks as always. I'm going to have to make a trip up to Yankee land sometime.

@Anpu-adom- Thanks, hang in there with it and learn it. Play to objectives. We are instagibbed in Big Guns Never Tire though.

Have another tournament in a month for 2k now. So I am going to be adding a belly gun to my Stompa and Magnetize the KFF for my other Morkanaut.

Was messing around with my camera earlier and took a good picture of my count as Buzzgob. Hope y'all enjoy.

Today's progress has been slow going. KFF is Magnetized on the Morkanauts now. My Stompa got a hole carved in its belly to magnetize it and finished the non Deff Kannon peice while waiting on bits to arrive to finish the Deff kannon.

Love your version of buzzgob! Nice pic, but you might consider putting a sheet of white paper in front of the light source to tone it down just a little bit.

That game looked like it was a blast and had nicely painted armies also!

@Gisplitta- Thanks, yes I realize that, one day I'm going to have to buy a back drop or something. I was just messing around taking pictures of him trying to update my profile avatar.

@Ustrello - Thanks, it was a blast indeed!

Got my bits order in today and wasted no time. The Big MEK Stompa is officially finished, touched up, Magnetized the belly Deff kannon. Hope y'all enjoy! So glad I found spiky bits page on how to convert one with plastics bits. Forgeworld can just get too expensive.

Stompa looks excellent. A bit sideways... but excellent!

Wow haven't you been busy?

Looks like you had a blast at the tournament, nice summary of the games.

Stompa is looking awesome .

EDC

@Gisplitta- Not sure why they are side ways. When I click on them they are vertical. Hate this new phone. Thank you though!

@EDC - Always busy, late nights with my son. He's been teething and hit a growth spurt. Thank you and it was a blast. Going to a local tournament next weekend.

I've been working on my wife's Harlequins and started to fall in love painting them. I put a layer of ink then highlighted them. Still not complete but definitely table top standard. I am thinking of doing 1000 point Dark Eldar army to compliment her army with all the double tournaments that have been popping up. I'm teaching her how to play this week. Luckily if she were to come with me her folks loves to baby sit our son.

Excellent job! I'd love to play those Eldar!

That mek with the big tusks and large green eye is super rad, I love it.

@Gisplitta- Thanks you much, I took your advice to heart when I was painting them.

@Heretic Tom - Thanks, he is one of my favorite models.

Had insomnia last night so stayed up painting a Solitaire and finished him just now this afternoon
What a beautiful model!

Expirementing with my camera...

Nice!

@Gisplitta - Thanks man!

Have been working on checkers, they look okay. They are not great, I have been working on them though to better improve my painting skills.

Just takes practice my friend... stick with it, you'll get it.

Have been working on Harlequins and bases lately. Went to a 1000 point tournament last weekend and played my wifes Harlequins. It got fun by the second and third game, when I started to learn. I finally finished purchasing the rest of her 2k army, now we just have to paint them.

I have to say the Death Jesters is a beautiful model. Some better pictures of my Deff Dread Mob.

I am SO jealous! What a beautiful army!

@Gisplitta- Thank you, love them both! Took those pictures for Ebay, at this time I want to fund other 40k projects, if they sell they sell if not they will have a cozy home at my place on display.

I've commandeered painting my wife's Harlequins bikes to finish her army for 2k points. Just have to paint riders and another voidweaver and jester.

Very cool jet bikes!

Nice progress on the bikes so far.

EDC

@Ustrello- Thank you, I love the Harlequins bikes!

@EDC - Trying! Lots of detail, but fun to paint non the less.

Have been working on the riders. Got the drivers done. Some with flash others not! One thing I love about taking pictures for my blog I can see what I need to touch up especially with flash.

I will have to get full army pictures with natural Sun light and when my last death jester arrives, only thing we are missing for my wife's full army.

Cool. How many points is that?

EDC

Really cool. With armies that usually contain a lot of unique colour schemes ( like Harlequins or Brettonnians) I love a unified colour scheme across the force. Really cool scheme choice as well.

Your Orks look properly Orky as well.

@EDC - Its 2000 points!

@Thraxus Of Turai- Thank you, wife picked out the color scheme.

So I'm still waiting for my Death Jester and have a game today to test the list. All my armies have always had one CARL! So I had to make a count as death jester. So once I have one Carl here will be my cheer leader. He's not great but who cares!

Relieved my Orks did not sell. Love my Orks and realized I was just burned out a little! Onward to more conversions, this is my newest Deff Dread WIP! Hope y'all enjoy.

That is an awesome conversion!

Fantastic conversion. Not sure how practical the wrecking ball is an a weapon, but an Ork wouldn't care about that anyway!

EDC

@Ustello- Thanks, he was a lot of fun to put together!

@EDC - Thanks, and I know right!? I just needed a way to incorporate his second CCW somehow... Every Ork army needs a wrecking ball!

He is finished! I love him and want to make more now....!

After Boss Skar'Axe lost da challenge to da Big Mek he lost his prized Squig and leg..... His Nobs decided dey wanted to start krumpin too! Hope y'all have had a great week! Have my Dread Mob doing Der own krumpin tomorrow in Apocalypse game. Running Big Mek Stompa, 2 Morkas and 4 Dreads!

Also my motivation for my Dread Mob out of boredom I converted and painted my battle a Cataphractii Armored Captain, base left undone because he's going to transplant him to a GW base.

Today we had a Apocalypse game, rather small for Apocalypse but it was fun. We were short a player, so luckily my wife tagged along and got to play with her Harlequins too! Our team Mascot was our son, he was a Warlord Titan, anything that he grabbed was automatically destroyed (Just kidding we never put him on the table). Was Eldar, Harlequins and my Orks vs Space Marines and Wolves. We lost heavily, the Wolves just ripped apart everything they touched. The objective in the middle gave anyone within 18" +1 to their dice rolls... Wolves with 2++ was killer.... Didn't matter friend got to bring his toys and we had fun!

Tomorrow have a game vs Goatboy then next week off to a local 2k ITC!

Today had a epic game vs Goatboy. I always lose against him but I learn a lot with my Dread Mob and we always manage to laugh to death. Last game I overheated 3 hull points and 4 hull points on my Morkanauts, today I hit every turn with Gaze of Mork but rolled 1s every turn on the D table, my count as Buzzgob is now named Bane'ov'gaze. His Tzeench Daemon Prince put a scar on my poor grot too today.

Seeing a post on the general discussion had to copy and paste what I put there.

"Literally just got done painting corruption scar of Tzeench on a lone grot from a game this afternoon. He survived soul blaze made his toughness check, then rallied with snake eyes and still rallied back to the emperors will objective. Then died heroicly to a Tzeench Daemon Prince. Funniest stuff ever, while the other almost full squad of grots broke and ran off the table."

Looks like a great game! Great to see so many nicely painted figures doing battle on the tabletop.

When the Ironjawz came out I knew I'd start buying into AoS. The Maw-Krusha is such a beautiful model I had to get it. Here is a WIP shot of my as I call it Mamaw Dragon.

wow, that's a great figure, and I love the way you've approached the paint. Bravo!

Dragon is looking cool. Nice idea with the scarring on the grot, I love it when people add details to characters from in game stuff.

EDC

@Gisplitta- Thank you, it was actually an experiment and it paid off big time.

@EDC - Thank you, yes it was something I use to do as a teen, going to start doing it again, adds so much character and added fluff.

Finished the Mamaw Dragon just now. He is by far the best figure I have ever painted and pics don't do him justice, I will have to do a photoshoot for him because I am super proud of him, without the flash.

Super Proud of my Dread Mob today. Practicing has helped and games under my belt has helped. Got second place today at our local ITC tournament. Got a picture thought I took more of the first game guess I didn't. The other two armies were not fully painted so I didn't take pictures.

First game was tough against the same Flyrant list as last time I faced him. This time I split my Army into two parts and focus fired his hive Tyrants. Still lost 2-9 but had a blast.

Second game I survived the first turn of bombardment against Astra Militarum, my 2 Deff Kannon shots a turn just destroyed his tanks leaving my Killa Kans and Dreads supported by the Morkanauts to a crushing win 11-0.

Last game was against Salamanders which I felt very confident against due to not fearing the flamers and his drop pods melta went for my Stompas. Ended up killing everything to a man, won 7-4. Was a great game.

Learning my Morkanauts are supporting and keeping my Dreads in front with my Kans on the flanks helped enormously. When ITC starts using the 40k FAQ my Dread Mob will only get stronger as the biggest loss was to a million Krak grenades.

Double post.

It looks good, but I can tell the photos aren't doing it justice. Looking forward to some better pics.

I really like the bone tail, it looks great.

EDC

@EDC - Thanks, always a struggle to get good pics.

I've been working on a looted Contemptor and putting tracks on my Morkanaut. So far a success, some WIP shots of my Contemptor and finishing up my tracked Morkanaut.

The contemptor looks great! Very Orky. The tracked 'naught as well, those stumpy legs never looked right to me.

@Oguhmek - Thank you, I like the legs, need one because I'm working on a looted Knight next.

Finished the looted contemptor tonight. Very happy with how he turned out! Think he's my favorite now in my Ork army.

Started working on the second arm for my looted Knight I am working on. Very pleased with how it is turning out.

Now that looks like a proper ork weapon

@Ustrello - Thanks, I try

I blame Battle bots for this conversion, I have two more sets of tracks on the way and 3 Sentinels for my other Kan conversions.... Hope y'all enjoy! My converting side of me is coming out with a vengeance.

The tracked kans are a neat idea. Great converting.

Speaking of which, that looted Contemptor looks awesome.

EDC

These look great! Can't wait to see the kans painted up.

@EDC- Thanks it's something I've discussed for a long time and finally putting words to modelingredients.

@Anpu-adom- Thanks! I cannot wait till they are painted up either.

Waiting on a track resupply coming in tomorrow. I've been working on the commanda for em! Took an hour to cut out the hatch without breaking the plastic but the end result was worth it. Claw looks a little silly but who cares! He has to compensate....

I am getting them ready for Wargames Con at the end of the month.

Finished my tracked Kans, quite pleased with the results! Next up, looted Sentinels! Well worth the time and bits! Hope y'all enjoy!

I may need to steal this idea!

Nice work! I think I like the look of these better than the actual kan models. Keep it up!

@Anpu-adom- Thanks, it's never stealing, it's looting!

@Novasetri- Thanks! I like them much better too!

Finished my Kan Sentinels, hope y'all enjoy, they were fun but a pain to convert! I always have loved the Sentinelist Models and it's one thing I regret never buying for my guard back in the day but back then they were pewter. The hunter killer missiles and missile launchers are just too cool not to use.

Have been working on this looted Knight going on 3 days. I don't like the typical looted Knights, so I went a different route. Hope y'all enjoy!

Damn that is nice, though I can't help but think he is saying "oh look a penny" in the last picture

Loving the tracked Kand and the Sentinel Kans, very nice work.

Brilliant stuff on the Knight too, Gork (and Mork) would be proud!

EDC

You've been very busy! I love it all, but especially the tracked kans... excellent idea, executed beautifully!

@Ustrello- Thanks and I kind of agree but maybe he's looking at a Space Marine to krump?

@EDC - Thanks for the kind words, I try to make Gork and Mork proud!

@Gisplitta- Thanks and yes I have been! Wargames Con is coming up. I really want to do some more tracked Kans but I want them all to be unique, thinking Kataphron Breachers for base models next...

Finished both Knights, they are fully magnetized! I am very pleased how they turned out and hope y'all enjoy. I am working on painting the avenging gatling cannons now....

Those looted Knights are magnificent to behold!

Excellent work.

EDC

Oh wow, very cool!

@EDC - Thanks! A lot of work went into them, took about 20-30 hours each.

@Knightly - Thank you! I try!

I've been practicing for wargames con lately. Here is a WIP of my looted Kastelan Deff Dread! Also Gitsplitta, I did get some Kataphron to convert and hopefully in time for wargames. I also am going to be working on a Morka Knight. Everything but the torso and joints will be from the Morka and the torso and joints will be from the Knight. Excited for bits to arrive!

Your work is impressive. Keep it up!

@Anpu-adom- Thank you!

Finished him today, at first I hated him and he almost got kanned into the bits bin... Now that I bulked him out and painted him, I love him!

Superbot was popular this weekend at our local ITC. Encouragement led to these next set of conversions. Some pictures of Morkabot 9000 as he is very much WIP, I already assembled him and added to bits on him because I was worried how he would turn out. Once I finish him, this army will be 100% converted. I'll take army pictures. Gitsplitta this is for you with the Kataphrons!

Lovely all! Beautifully converted and painted Spacewolverine... you get major points in ALL categories from me.
