Welcome to my first Dakka Dakka blog. I'll going through the ups and downs I encountered during the construction of my marines and forgeworld stuff.

So here we go. First of all this is the model Im using as my captain at the moment. I use him as captain cortez.
Captain + Storm sheild + Power fist + Artificer Armour = Captain Alissio Cortez.



Ive just made a order for this guy http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440176a&prodId=prod1060046&rootCatGameStyle=
Ill be modelling hair and will be my captain cortez model. I cant actually wait for him to arrive. I know he is NOT WYSIWYG but I only use him in friendly games. Im more of friendly gamer than a power gamer. My concern is how my army looks over how good it is.

This was my first ever Crimson Fist tacical squad I havnt any WIPs of them but heres a finished squad.
Captain power fist, Melta-gun and heavy bolter.
8th Company Tactical squad Alexandria


Here is a few pictures of there transport.




A WIP of my dreadnought Atreyu


And for now a WIP of my first ever forgeworld model.
The one and only Contemptor dreadnought Emmure

Ill try get some some more better photos up of the rest of the army. Including my self made sternguard.

I remember the day nobody did crimson then Pedro came out and boom everyone does them now.
I hate Pedro kantor I hope he falls in a hole.

Here's some pictures of them on my them ony dreadnought.




I'm going to take some more pictures tomorrow of the other casts I've done.
Peace

Wonderful stuff here. May I ask how you had enough space to pop in all those sternguards?

Nice dry Brushing on the tanks and standard bearer.


The pic of the marines piled into the rhino made me laugh

These guys are looking great. Keep them up.

@lipsdapips Correct positioning and I chopped off above the knee so they'd fit in easier.

@Cave_Dweller and @40kFSU Thanks nice comments brothers

PS.
@lipsdapips Ill try get a inside photo of the rhino if I can prime the doors open with out too much damage.

Hi, I love your tanks, the battle damage is great! any chance we could get a tutorial? I realy like the tactical sergeant with the space wolves head, looks great. And the sternguard rhino. Wow! i have to try that|!

prototype_x

@prototype_X : Thanks for nice comments brother. Ill try get a little step by step on my vehicles abit got loads of projects at the moment.
The head from maruader WHF

Quick tutorial is:
First I scratch and pull and scraped the vehicle in all the most likable features on the the model.

The after undercoat basecoat. Paint the scratches a Dark brown colour ( I used scorched GW brown).

Then Apply tin bitz GW. But not fully this time.

Then I drybrushed the the areas of damage.

The bullet holes I dab brown ink aswell if you wan the rust drip effect like on the vindicator.

One day Ill do a proper picture step by step. Any other questions drop me a reply.

Hopefully starting my cortez model and doing more work on
Contemptor Emmure.
Peac

aaahhh, i still like the head, thanks for the vehicle tutorial, ill try it on my lamenters rhino when it arrives.

Great blog!

The weathering on your vehicles is simply amazing and you have some very inventive conversions going on here. Nice work on the Dreads and that Sternguard Rhino!

Subscribed!

Just dont rush it when you do it and end up chopping too uch or else you could end up with just a pile of cut up plastic.
The sterngaurd rhino was done really easy to be honest as posted above Ill try get some pictures of it inside tomorow.
Peace

well then maybe you should supervise me when i do it, in the meantime you could check out my lamenters blog......... Link in sig

So For christmas I got my Cortez conversion bitz.


Need some advice:

First Ive noticed on the powerfist its miscast on the shoulder you think I should ring and get anouther sent out OR just fix it OR both?


Secondly I have this bionic arm with boltgun


But this would mean removing this bolt pistol what do you guys think?


Thank you and cant wait for you to reply back.
Peace

I got this little beauty thorugh the post the other day too.

I actually cant wait to paint this guy up.



This model is one my faves.

If you can definitely call for a replacement for that miscast arm.Then you can fix the other one for more conversions (if they let you keep it!)
And as for the other arm maybe saw off the bolt pistol arm as cleanly as you possibly can then dry-fit both options and see which one you like best before gluing.
And Nice old school libby.

Or even magnetise it so you can swap it out.

^That too!

people from around the world. Instead of playing skyrim tonight I did this. Now its time for skyrim.








Even did few more casts for a rainy and made my own purity seals.


C+C welcome

thats really good, you should be proud

I am soo proud.
I need primer now and to find my contemtor arms and Ill get some paint on them.
peace

That looks great, awesome conversion. Those purity seals look nice!
