I finished painting more Land Raiders for this army just a few days ago. Here's a photo of all four Land Raiders for this army traveling in diamond formation. As usual, a larger version of this photo is available for viewing and voting in my Dakkadakka Gallery.

Ugh! what did you use for the mechanicus symbols on the land raiders?

Others have asked that question and it was answered in the post just before the new photo of the four Land Raiders.

Cool!

Those are really neat! Are you gokng to make some sort of uber-cool command land raider?

I've just added another character to my Spears Of Ares army and a photo of him to my Gallery here on Dakka. You can also see and hear a bit about him below.

Phineas is the Chief Librarian of the Spears Of Ares. The alternating black and white Mechanicus theme is played out in multiple places throughout the Terminator armor while the ancient Greek motif is once again expressed through the character's name and the mosaic basing. Being a major character, Phineas has an animal portrait on his base, one commonly found in ancient Greek artwork. I chose the Dolphin for Phineas because their intelligence made a good association for a Librarian as did the ideas that Dolphins exist in two worlds both of land and water and have a sixth sonar sense while Librarians use their sixth psychic sense to perceive both the natural and supernatural worlds of Warhammer 40K.

Thanks. I might add a command bit to one of the Land Raiders at some point. Not sure if I'll be adding any more Land Raider models to this army, but it's always a possibility. I guess I couldn't make up my mind which of the three done so far should be the command vehicle so I left myself some game flexibility by not making any one of them too different from the others at this time.

Funny... Phinneas is the name of my dog. ;-)

Valete,

I like the idea of the dolphin mosaic, and I think it looks really cool, as does the librarian.

Loving the librarian, cant see him sorting books all day
