I return with an updated WIP of my Summoned Greater Daemon, behold!











Still plenty more GS work to do, and I need to counterweight the base as it tips forwards due to the weight of the SGD

C&C?

Taking a break from my CSM for a while and have thus done a bit of work on my IG. Been pimping out my valkyrie - I don't really like the wings too much so have stolen some from a Tau Piranha. Everything is either magnetized or pinned so it all moves (or stays still ). Paint job is still very rough.

Anyway, pictures!

Very nice! I actually really like the smudged paint job, but if that by your standards isn't very good then I can't wait to see what you do with it.

It looks OK from "standing at the edge of a table looking at it" as it is, but does still need a few more layers in order to look a bit smoother.

Hopefully when I am done it will be a relatively well blended smoky effect for both the black and grey stripes.

I have a few action shots of the army from the Dakka Tournament last weekend. Photos taken by endtransmission. If you were there and took pictures of my army, please let me know and I will add the pictures here

My army was ranked 2nd best painted, which I was really pleased with. Apparently if I had tidied up the bases (painted the rims etc) and finished basing all the models (I had a raptor squad and a havoc squad which just had grit on the bases as I had only just finished painting them in time ) I may have been able to come 1st


My Daemon Princes rocking out with a couple of squads of Chaos Marines relaxing in the background.


Famine about to show some Imperial Guard the meaning of the words "ARGH OH GOD THAT HURTS!"


Chaos Marines want in on the action too.


Along with all the other stuff I am working on (or not as the case may be), I am working on a "count as" Plague Tower. I will add pictures soonish, along with pictures of 2 new rhinos, 1 raptor squad and 1 havoc squad which are now painted

Congrats on the painting score, everything looked great

Very nice work so far!

Your summoned greater demon looks brilliant. Im actually really enjoying the mechanised look of your army. I had an idea a while back for a khorne iron warrior type army, but sadly it never came to fruitation. Bleh. Are you planning on having another two daemon princes named after the other two riders of the apocolypse? Heres hoping you will

Ok, first up is my super heavy counts as "Plague Tower", still very WIP and the idea is very stolen from this thread:





There will eventually be a couple of Earthshaker cannons on the top, along with lots of hull mounted defensive weapons. The Earthshaker section will be removable so I can also make a big anti-titan turret and also an anti-squishy people turret.

And a quick disclaimer on the following images; the light is really bad at the moment so I had to take these with the flash on, so they look pretty terrible

Raptors:




Autocannon Havocs:




Rhino 1:






Rhino 2:

@ endtransmission - Thanks - I really enjoyed playing against your army, some great conversions/sculpts and very nice to look at - I look forward to meeting them on the tabletop again at some point in the future.

@ Commander Cain - Thank you

@ ghosty - Thanks, I wanted something a bit different and although I have seen a couple mech/daemon style armies, they are pretty rare and usually very different from one another. I am indeed planning on having 2 more daemon princes for the other riders, as well as my chaos lord (probably counts as Typhus of some sort).

A few more images of The Chapter of the Black Hand from Silver Sorcerer taken by Panic:

My battle against ceorron's Orks from the Sunday:

My Daemon Princes dish out punishment to the Ork hordes while my Rhino driver apparently re-enacts something he did while playing GTA


Not sure what battle this is from, but I think it was either against Battlecannon it Phil, or TalonCAB from the Saturday:

My Chaos Marines pile out of their rhino to take the objective.

From my game against Panic's grots:

My Havocs set up to get a commanding view of the battlefield


"What do you mean we've only got 3 meltas and a power fist between us and he's got a KFF and 9 Kans?!?" - my Raptors and a squad of Chaos Marines get ready to take on the full force of Panic's Kan wall. They would go on to do surprisingly well (far better than my Daemon Prince who died horribly without doing much), and take out qute a number of Kans in CC.


"Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!" - My 2 remaining marines amid the carnage they and their comrades had inflicted on the Kan wall.

Blood for the Blood God!
Skulls for the skull throne!
Used c(K)ans for the recycle god!
Dakka for the Dakka Dakka (god? Mods!?)!


Loving it, Silver.

Haha, glad you are enjoying it Darkvoid.

I love Famine. Big friggin sword ftw! A bit sad the so many Land raiders had to give their lives up for the plague tower.

There are only actually 2 Landraiders in that conversion, don't worry

Lovely army. Hope to meet up again for a full rematch - though have to get mine finished so they stop bringing the photo quality down

Haha, well, shall we say 10 years? That might get us both time to paint up about 1,500 points?

Besides, the stuff you had painted up looked great, and your modeling work is fantastic.

Hopefully not that long! At my current rate I might manage 2

Which reminds me - for all my current plans, no one has noticed that I don't have any more basic boyz in my todo list!

Thanks. I'll just be glad of the day I have to stop apologising for not having the painting up to the same level as the modelling...

I thought you had 1500pts?

So, you don't want to convert to a horde?

Well, depends what I want to take - I have about 1,500 points painted up now, but the units I actually like are still unpainted to that level

To get up to 1,500 I need to paint up another havoc squad, finish painting my predator (and also build some HB sponsons ), and a few other odds and sods. Which will probably take me another year...

I love how mysterious that no numbered orange dice is. What will it land on? Another blank? Only the gods can forsee!

It actually has the lightning "jammed weapon" symbol on one side

What in all the six-sided-dice-shenanigans is this?! DICE HERESY!?

I proclaim thee extremis diceabolis!

Back when you were not even a gleam in the Emperors eye, we had all sorts of crazy dice to play Warhammer with

The Emperor has no eyes./laughs

Anyway, I still stamp you in the name of the Alpha Legi-Inquisition. *ahem* -shifty eyes-

"What? Don't look at me like that! Sure, I might be a bit on the big side and almost double the hight of all of you, but that's nothing to base accusations that I'm an Alpha Legion infiltrator that you might be considering stating on. Now if you excuse me, I have to use the little-Daemonhunters room.." *pulls out boltgun slowly*

Just a quick update on the super heavy - I've used parts from the biotoxin plant to pimp out the back deck (they are not stuck on yet as I am going to finish up the back end a bit more before putting the details on. The platform is not glued, but the pipework and tanks are.

Any comments or suggestions on improving the design? There will probably be more pipes etc in the final design.

Amazing! I love that someone is FINALLY doing a giant Land raider. I've been waiting to see one of those for months

*nerdgasm*

Glad you like it, any suggestions?

I'm now officially adding my IG into this thread (means that I don't have 800 million P&M blogs and also means that I should hopefully keep this thread updated fairly regularly

My IG are a (loosely) WWI British themed army, mostly a gunline army with plenty of templates, but since I love tanks (and own quite a few) I am also having another "allied" force of tanks to support the main gunline army.

- Attached:
Britannon 7th Sentinal Reconnaissance Troop ("Borgard's Boys")
3rd Company, Britannon 17th Infantry Regiment

And, so that this post is not just me typing stuff, have some WIP pictures!


My planned Russ engine upgrades (will be rolled out to all my tanks once I get it how I want it).

Earthshaker platform - think the base may be too "high-tech" looking for my army, but I will see what I think when the rest of the army comes together. Need to rebuild the rear rail of the platform.

Trench rails that will be added to every vehicle - will be casting this piece once it is finished.


WIP gasmask heads - will be cast when finished.


Rear of the heads.



Any suggestions/comments happily accepted.

Looks great so far, but why does everyone destroy defilers to make chaos walkers? Use a sentinel. it's much cheaper and you get cool bitz. Oh, and it's almost 1/3 of the price

Wow! i really like the IG and terrain! great stuff!
for the Earthshaker platform, you could add some GW Bits from the Manufactorum, Basilica etc... to give it some more Goth/less high tech look. Personally, i like what you did with it.
