You actually have to do Hurricane Plasma sponsons now, seriously.
You could always leave Plasma Cannons off and just have the hurricane plasma guns and a targeter on each sponson.
edit: Didnt Dave Taylor do a Hurricane plasma LR? ill look for it.
edit again: He definitely did, but the pics have been removed from the web apparently :(

Up to 6x4 Twin-Linked Plasma gun shots per turn? /gasp
This is madness!
"THIS IS HERESY!"
In all honesty, it'd be awesome to see, but would rather take away from the theme of the sponsons.
Buuuuuut... searing plasma death heavily appeals to me.

It seems OP, but if you have a blastgun, 6 plasma guns and an executioner, I'd make it 700pts plus, considering that most 40k players are MEQ.

2 Sponsons...

12 Rerolled misses BS4 non-overheating plasma shots per turn within 12'

4 sponsons could be a potential 24 plasma shots.

okay ,so against tactical marines, this thing would kill:
12 shots
8 hit
10 hit- TL
8 wound
8 dead marines per turn/2 dead carnifexes.
oh and the executioner would kill about 2 marines per turn.
and the blastgun...ouch.

A Hurricane plamsa gun set up would be overkill for a TL heavy bolter replacement plus it won't fit in the sponsons.
HOWEVER, I am thinking of possibly a quad mounted plasma array in place of the TL heavt bolters that would cound as two TL plasma guns.
I'll see how that looks today as I begin piecing this thing together. More to come....

This is the Grimdarkr! No such thing as overkill.
That being said, a quad plasma array sounds cool.

I reckon either:

or

Right now I'm planning for a plasma cannon in place of the LC and the quad plasma guns in place of the HB.
I was thinking of using an assault cannon in place of the TL HB on the hull but now I'm leaning towards it being plasma based as well. So quad plasma, plasma cannon, or something else?

Sponson mounted Quad plasma guns and plasma cannon, hull-mounted Executioner cannon, Plasma Blastgun and pintle-mounted twin-linked Plasma gun for the tank commander.
Sorted.

If you buy each bit enough to make a fellblade (inc. the baneblade), how much would it cost?
tank mega-pack- $85
turret mounting plate- $5
how many wheels?
P&P- $7.50
baneblade- $100
(That's $197.50, or £125-ish)

Nah, it doesn't have to be that much. The Mega Pack is for making something like a Stormhammer. For building a Fellblade like mine you can get the Combo Pack for $65. The wheels are optional, I use them because they're a little wider in diameter but you can use the stock wheels just as easily. As for the Baneblade, since you don't need all the parts I usually buy them piecemail on eBay. That way I can get all the parts I need for about half the price of the full kit. So you could do this project for between $100 and $130.
10470
Post by: shrike
So baneblade- $100
kit- $65
$165, and then you get baneblade cannons, lascannons, heavy bolters, and demolisher cannons for the bits box!
That's a good deal for a 600pt super-heavy.

Well I'm finally going to finish my Adepticon project today and can get back to my Fellblades and commissions. But I do have a bit of a teaser.
I did have some time a couple of weekends ago to play around with a few ideas and the third one actually stuck. I wanted to give it a real gothic feel so I looked at various gothic arches included a few HO scale catherdral windows but ended up coming back to the Cities of Death pieces. Of course I had to hack them up to get them to fit but it's a start:
I also came up with this for the quad plasma gun blaster:
Still lots to do. Also need to come up with a proper name for it. Any ideas?

Wow, that's looking really cool! Very ornate.
As far as names for the plasma turret go, you could try following the naming conventions for multi-bolter weapons.
2 barrels = storm
6 barrels = hurricane
4 barrels = .......tropical storm?
Maybe something like tempest, torrent, squall, something along those lines.
Or you could go with something a bit more chapter specific. Caliban-pattern Quad Plasma Turret?

Well technically it's going to be a twin linked double barrelled plasma gun so storm could apply. I thought of using something different but I think all the good storm names are taken. Tropical depression just doesn't sound terrifying enough....

If you're still taking name suggestions, I'd like to recommend Lion's Roar, with maybe a bit of fluff that the Fellblade was so named because of the roaring sound it makes when it discharges all of its weapons at once.

As its not a generic pattern of weapon system, I think it should really relate towards the legion. In the same way as LR crusaders are first and foremost a BT tank.

I disagree. They don't want to purify traitors, they want to redeem themselves for a sin that thier ancestors commited, which they won't tell anyone.

I highly doubt GK would have one, because any Fellblades were in service during the heresy, most likely having been made from STCs recovered during the Great Crusade.
I'm also pretty sure no new Fellblades have been made in 10,000 years, although it is more than possible I assume. Just get a Baneblade and do some conversions. But Techpriests are so loath to "desecrate" existing technology.

Consider this thread subscribed. Thoroughly jaw-dropping work, if I wasn't a poor college student I'd make myself one of these for my homebrew chapter.
Would Black Templars get one of these? If I remember my fluff, they were Imperial Fists descendants, but it seems like something they'd do. Any chance of it?

Angelus Redemptor, for sure.
I like The Lion's Roar, but it sounds less gothic and moody. Gladius Obscurus sounds kinda silly and over dramatic to me. Angelus Redemptor hits the sweet spot in the middle.

Angels of Redemption, Absolution, Vengeance are all confirmed DA succesors as per DA codex since back in 2nd ed, index astartes and more.
I am also sure Sons of Caliban and something Lions are also added to the list.
I vote 'Gladius Leonis' pattern, the lion's sword. Seems apt for a DA specific fellblade no?

Meh. DA ain't my scene.
But you don't call a sigular vehicle by a plural name. And to be honest, it won't get confused with the second founding chapter as it existed before them .

Post by: Machinator
Ugh this project has been going fustratingly slow but I do have an update for today.
I actually have most of the right side done now with much of the detail work added. Like most of this tank its been difficult getting all the pieces to flow together such that everything looks like it belongs as oppose to just having a standard Baneblade with a bunch of stuff glued on it. But it's really starting to look like a cathedral on treads.
Part of the background for this tank was that it was the command vehicle for the Ironwing back in the pre-Hersey days and so I wanted it to bear a unique symbol to show this role just as the Ravenwing and Deathwing have theirs (What is the Ironwing? Think the Ravenwing but with tanks instead of bikes ). After trying a variety of things from a winged mace to crossed swords I ended up combining two of the large vehicle icons together into something that works quite well I think. The added rivets complete the effect by making it look really like an "iron" wing
Next up was replacing the demolisher cannon with the executioner plasma cannon. This was a lot of work and took a couple of interations to get right but I think it turned out pretty well in the end. And yes, it does move.
Finally for today there is the rear section. Instead of the traditional combustion engine I decided early on that it would be powered by a plasma reactor to help explain why all the weapons are plasma based. The two reactors are from the Pegasus Power Plant:
So there you go. Hopefully the next update isn't too far from now. Until then....

That's an interesting idea. I don't see why they wouldn't have them as the GK have wide access to every other Imperial technology. Plus the idea of a greater demon staring down the barrel of a Fellblade sized psycannon would be priceless

Yes this is going to be just a one off. Just about every piece on this thing is covered by GW's IP so it would be suicidal for my company to even think about casting it. However, I will be building an unigue plasma cannon for it that will be available in my store that will work with the Large and Medium Turrets.
I like the idea of the plasma coils. I was trying to come up with something unique to do to the engine area and I think you just gave me the answer

I think a plasma-style engine block would be a cool general conversion piece to have, and not something that is too GW-distinctive, as opposed to say, the guns.

Post by: OmegaStriker
So I was thinking about my pre-heresy Thousand Sons army (inspired by this thread over on Warseer) I am going to do after I redo my Tau, and I have got to say, we need to make this thing with PSYKER POWERS!
Imagine a red and gold monstrosity that gates around the battlefield, has twin linked 'smite' guns on the side, force dome, null zone, and all that good stuff!
It's really terrible, because it would not have just guns like the others, but be a rules heavy thing with something like a d-strength whirlwind on the back.
Now, I have to go get my codex, and think very hard about this....
EDIT: Whooohooo! Psychic Crew is an amazing rule that I just made up!
So Quickening and Might of the Ancients are both pretty useless here, and the psychic shooting attacks have a range that I can beat by spitting.
That leaves a problem, because (as I understand, and I think I might be wrong) the pre-heresy K-Sons were a shooty legion.
So what if I played with these a bit? Could I modify psychic powers for the sake of an Apoc. game? Derp! Yes!
So, other elements of vehicle design aside for a moment, I want to focus on the rule I just made up, psychic crew. Since the crew of this great beast would not be just pithy psykers the KSons had left over, I figured there would be some high-level (even for KSons, the psyker legion) psykers to pilot and power this thing. First up, I think that a chorus of psykers (group of psykers, like school of fish or pack of wolves) trained to the pinnacle of what the KSons can give would pass psychic tests automatically. Imagine something like eight epistolaries networked together in the command pulpit of this thing. We are talking epic level here, right? Also, some sort of psyker nullification. What if all non-friendly psyker powers within 18" automatically fail, and then from 18" to 36" they must re-roll successful psychic tests? Is that a bit much? maybe just 12" and 24". Hmmm. I don't usually use psykers, so I need someone with experience to tell me how to work a massive psychic hood into this thing. Basically, on the model I wanted a large turret in the front-center that was basically a big KSons head wing thing, and this was the 'core' of the unit, that was a psychic hood and gave it three powers: Force Dome, Null Zone, and Gate of Infinity. This would be the 'chorus' in the middle, able to do extraordinary things with the massive hulk of a tank.
Well, I have a real life to get back to. I will come back and see what becomes of this thread. I hope we all enjoy Machinator's work on these, and keep the pics coming!

Machinator,
Thank you for the great thread! I know you will be making a Fellblade for each of the chapters, and although we already discussed over PM, wanted to bring ideas for a UM Fellblade public.
Seems like it will be a bit boring compared to the BA or Imperial Fist Fell blade, but was thinking:
635 pts
- Fell blade cannon
- Coaxial Long Barrelled Las Cannon
- Hull mounted T/L Assault Cannon
- Hull mounted demolisher Cannon
- sponson - twin linked las cannon and twin linked heavy bolter
- blessing of ominisaih and chapter relic
It is much simpler than the one we discussed over PM - but kind of follows the MK II idea - an upgrade of the normal fellblade. Better engines, etc, allow for more las cannons and the recent development/find of the assault cannon added to the hull.
I think the constant beam laser would be good on the iron hands fellblade.
anyway, thanks again for such a great post, looking forward to the next round of photos.
To others on this thread, let me know what you think of the above mentioned fellblade rule ideas

Yes, I have a flamethrower/thermal cannon along with a different set of fuel tanks in the planning stage. I just need time to make the masters and get the molds done. I do plan to have these ready before the holiday season.
I've been mulling around possible Chaos and Ork bits to go along with these tanks but we'll see.
inmygravenimage wrote:Are the gk fell blade parts going to be up for order? I could see my pennies heading your way...
We'll see once the idea takes shape. I plan to use most of the GK weapons from the FW and dreadknight kit but may come up with something special for the main weapon. A Banisher Cannon maybe? Any ideas?

This project will likely be done along side the Ultramarine Fellblade, which is after the Space Wolf Fellblade and their other super heavy "specialty vehicle."
So plan for next year.

The brown rivets you make are awesome! How you do them? What do you use? Sorry if someone already asked.
The rivets are from a hobby supplier called Tichy Train Group: http://www.tichytraingroup.com/index.php?page=view_category.php&category=NBW+%26+Rivets&offset=0
The rivets come in all sizes but I mostly used the 0.35. 0.40, and 0.50 inch diameter rivets.

It's going to be a surprise
Basically the story behind it is that after the end of the Horus Heresy as the Imperium begins to rebuild, Roboute Guilliman requests that the Adeptus Mechanicus update the Fellblade design to more of a support role as they are becoming too slow and cumbersome for his Legion to use properly. This Mark II Fellblade will incorporate many of the new materials and technology already developed for the MkII Land Raider but will carry much more firepower then its predecessor....
How's that for a teaser

I take it we can expect some new turrets then? Maybe sleeker with less rivets? Kind of along the same lines as your predator turret?

Time is a funny thing, you think you have plenty of it but when you start to use it the minutes quickly run out. For those of you following this thread this has been the case for a very long time, but no longer. Finally, after many months away and repeated broken promises of "I'll get to it next month" the moment you've been waiting for is here.
I HAVE UPDATES!!!
Unfortunately it's not about the Dark Angel Fellblade, but I do have a few new surprises. The first is I've gone back and fixed up the Widowmaker Cannon (it was a little crooked):
I know, boring we've seen that before. But now it has a big brother. Presenting the Kingslayer Cannon:
As you can see this is one big gun with a huge suppressor on it. This will soon be available both as a dual cannon set and as coaxial weapon.
But there's more....
One of the items people have been waiting for is a heavy laser cannon. Well your wait is almost over for here is the Sunfire Laser Cannon:
Here they are all together:
Now I wanted to come up with a few new accessories to go with the DA Fellblade as I pictured it as a plasma powered engine of death. That means the fuel tanks are now obsolete and would need something to take their place. Plus my current Tank Engines would also need upgrading. While I have not started on the latter the former is well underway, but still a WIP. I present to you the Tank Dynamo:
Next week will also bring another treat. I will begin commission work on a Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons Falchion. What's a Falchion you say? It's the Space Marine equivalent of the Shadowsword.
As always, stay tuned....

Updates! I was beginning to think you had fallen into a deep hole and got stuck there.
The new cannons look superb, very tempting as I have a bane blade just sitting around waiting to be made. However, I am also collecting pre-heresy thousand sons, if you ended up with some bits for the commission that you could cast, I would be most interested!
Nice to have my favorite tank builder back from the depths!

Oh I've been very busy Unfortunately my commissions have kept me away from my behemoth babies, but I have set aside some time as I've missed them so.
The Thousand Sons Falchion will be a scratch build so I don't have any plans to cast the parts but if I come up with a cool new idea it will definitely make it into my store
I'm looking forward to it, it's going to be a fun build!

Well the heavy turret, larger cannons, and Pattern 1.0 tank treads are geared towards a super-heavy sized tank, but the Liberator Turret and Sponsons along with the Pattern 0 and 00 tank treads, Light Turret, and all the guns that go with them can be used on either the big or normal sized tanks

Aha. I've been seriously considering getting some of those, but because TTG inexplicably have no pictures on their site (that i could find, anyway) I wasn't sure about placing an order. Nice to see them in action, so to speak, they look like a good investment. I take it you'd recommend them?
Also: cool tanks.

If you look at the first two tanks in this thread, the Sanctimonia Cruoris and the Iron Breaker, you can get an idea of the Heavy and Medium Turret size. I don't have a pic of the Liberator Turret on a Leman Russ (although it will fit) but I do have one of it on a Rhino chassis:

I highly recommend the TTG rivets and all their products. They've been a life saver over the years. Not to mention if you buy them in bulk like I do you not only get free shipping but also a 20% discount

If you are doing SM power armor I'd recommend the 0.030 to 0.035 size, for SM vehicles 0.035 to 0.040, for IG vehicles 0.040 to 0.050.

Very impressive work on both the Dynamo and the (!!!) 1K Sons Fellblade!
What thickness of plasticard do you usually use? I've tried .060 card for a tank scratchbuild and it was a bit rough to work with and difficult to cut - I had to score-and-snap to get parts off.

Maybe a daemons head, or a screaming vulture's? It would fit the patron of the thousand suns.

Thanks!. The card stock I use is 0.060. It's thick enough to add strength but not too thick to cut. Althought I cheat a bit with my mini table saw
Ghiest1 wrote:Maybe a daemons head, or a screaming vulture's? It would fit the patron of the thousand suns.
That would eb quite appropraite for a chaos Thousand Sons Falchion but this one was when they were still loyal to the Emperor. In the end the customer made the decision for me.
Work on the Eye of Magnus continues. I cleaned up the hull, added the top, and began filling in the details. The volcano cannon is nearly done. I ended up doing a simpler tip to the cannon as it's what the customer wanted. Also I decided to go with a round side sponson as the lascannons weren't needed (the datasheet the customer is using does not include them). They be capped off with my Light Turrets with TL heavy bolters installed. I made a targetting array for the top of the hull but I'm not sure I like it. The object was to make it look like a cyclopean eye but I'm not sure this captures it.
Also finished were the side skirts complete with archaic runes (I found some angellic script that works quite nicely). The top one says "The Eye of Magnus" and the bottom "The Thousand Sons." Once the green stuff cures I'll carve in some detail to make them look a bit older.

Post by: Ovion
The 'targetting array' looks alright, I think it captures the cyclopean eye thing, I feel the reason it looks out of place is its position.
Sticking out on top there doesn't fit with the lines of the rest of the tank. Maybe moving it to the top of the track casing on the left side?
Looking good though.

Post by: TiB
That targeting dealie looks like the R2 units rebel fighters put into their fighters in Star Wars.
I think it'd be better to use an angled shape there, to rhyme with the main turret and the sponsons.
Looking promising though.

Post by: Anvildude
Perhaps the issue with the targeter is that the armour doesn't go to the 'eye', meaning it's more of a camera or lense, and less an eyeball in-socket. I think if you built the armour around it up further, it'd start working.

Amazing as always Mach... I am not a big fan of the 'runes' and feel it is not hugely TS looking, but who cares, magnificent skill on display. And really, this is only compared to some of your super characterful other fellblades.
I love the Dynamo's, and would happily use them for all kinds of things, from terrain to vehicles and maybe even a base! I would really love to see you apply your know how to strictly terrain buildings, you have such a great touch and there seems to always be a demand for new and not overly skully stuff lol.
Have you seen the Adepticon terrain contest btw?

Thanks MajorTom. Are you looking at this vehicle as a pre-Heresy or after they fell to Chaos? This tank is meant to represent the time when they were still loyal to the Emperor so there wouldn't be any chaotic bits yet, just the runes and legion symbols.
Yeah I'd like to get into some more terrain but given the limited amount of time I have to work on these projects I tend to pursue the ones that give me the most bang for the buck. Plus there are a lot of companies doing terrain so it's already somewhat of a crowded field.
I haven't heard of the Adepticon terrain contest but I'm leery of getting involved with them again. I spent a lot of time last year making terrain pieces for their 40K tables and as far as I know they were never used.

Just left positive feedback for the Krusher tracks that arrived the other day, and also ordered that Dynamo, it's going to make a great Objective Marker (seeing how I don't have any Super Heavies yet).

Thanks Skalk, I always appreciate the support and I can't wait to see what you do with those Krusher treads.
You've also given me a great idea on how to make the Tank Dynamo even better as a terrain piece....
