@whalemusic360: I do prefer the final product, these others looks more like ''Landers'' than ''Rams'' but for some reason I am slightly smitten with the one on the far right. It looks quite a lot like something you would land a Talon of Dreadnoughts with rather than regular pesky infantry.

@Theophony:


I am currently trying to get the nose together, getting the assaultramp juuuuust right is a small nightmare in of itself.

Bording Torp?

Mmm, more of an assaultboat / boarding shuttle for void-warfare. Think second-wave craft that goes in after the primary wave of Shark Boarding Torpedoes and Caestus Assault Rams have smashed a hole in the target and established a beach-head. Carrying high-value / bulky assets like dreadnoughts, self-propelled artillery (Raipier & Thunderfire platforms), Specialists like techmarine or Breacher Squads. That kind of thing.

Breacher Squads wouldn't be busy, you know, breaching?

like the Cylon heavy raiders from BattleStar Galactica? Sounds like a plan to me

Something like that I guess, I am however resigning myself to the fact that I am building a display-thingy.

Now that the nose and the ramp is glued on and I have started producing the tail (and rear ramp) the size of the damn thing is becomming clear. I maaay have made it a bit too big.

As it stands now it will turn out at a whooping 380mm (~15 inches) from nose to tail, not far off the T-Hawk's 480mm (~19 inches). So that means that it is just too big to be fielded as anything provided by the existing rules.

Alternatively I can just go all-out and add a secondary deck, add another 4-5 inches on the hull, go for a different wing-design than the one i had intended and fly it with the T-Hawk rules.

*sigh* it's going to be soooo much extra work!

Nice stuff!
Your biggerized marines are extended thighs and waist right?
Trying to decide how many years I want to spend per marine...

excellent! this thunder-hawk counts-as will be amasing when finished! you so have to make some "plugs" for when dreadnoughts are put in it. maybe some wirey stuff that connects to it.

Whoawhoa! easy there. I said 'Maybe' damnit!

Anyway, the Landraider has finally been finished and have recieved a nice thick layer of protective 'ard coat.

Once it dries there will be pics avalible for your pleasure. (that means tomorrow)

Pfft, maybe. You're making a counts as Thunderhawk, deal with it. I vote that it be called the ThunderCougerFalconBird. Don't want anyone to question your sexuality do you?

Fething Feth! I knew something was up!

Yeah, I kind of am.. aren't I?

*sigh* I need to go and buy more 2mm styrene sheets, I-beams and tubes...

And just because of that I am going to call it the "Fluffy Kitten" and paint it PINK with SPARKLES and freehand art depicting Frolicking Frothing Big HORSE[+++REDACTED!, FOR THE LOVE OF THE EMPEROR, REDACTED!!!+++]

lead them into a false sense of security and ...... WHAM!!!!!!!!

Nah, I vote it be called the Fluffy Cougar Dove!!

Well, it's been a hectic few weeks but here are some pics of the Prometheus.

There's a few small touch-ups needed, mostle a snidge of errand paint here and there and I need to fix the headlights with some black and grey and the stormbolter needs some more attention but otherwise it's done.
Not winning any GD's but it's a gaming piece so table-top is good enough.

Pics!










CnC is always welcome.

Very pretty, love that color.

^ What he said. Very simple scheme but still looks great.

Nice and clean

Thanks guys, the colour comes out quite a bit flat, irl it's a deeper shade of azure, not sure what I am doing wrong..

I guess I just really need to get my act together and buy a lightbox.

Infantry is progressing well (I hate bulk-painting but it will never get done otherwise) and I am going for another tank to keep things mixed up.

Rhino/Razorback, Vindicator or Land Speeder Typhoon (wich strictly isn't a tank but still needs paint), wich one do you want to see first?

And no, not the Shadowsword, I'll get to it in time but not now.. not just now.

Make one it will be fun

Aaaah! Black, I never thought it would be refreshing to paint black. All that teal on the raider wore me down.

I am re-basing the dreadnought now that I finally have decided wich kind of base to use for the Serpents, well, it was really about deciding how to paint my ROB-tiles so I could match my army to it, so once all the glue dries we'll have some pics on that.

Currently I am throwing paint at my Deathwatch kill-team and their tag-along inquisitor, not sure if I should finish the Storm Raven lurking in the closet or the Inquisitor's rhino for them to ride around in.

Desicions desicions...

I think your gonna have fun with the Militarum Tempestus Hale Hydra !!!!! lol

I think your Ultra decal is upside down

No, I have not forgotten about this blog, I am just a bit preoccupied with my Inq28 stuff right now.

I managed to snag a copy of HH:3 and finally, FINALLY! I haz dem sweet sweet rules for the XX Legion.

So yes, the big box of resin crack that has been hiding for so long beneath the bed is starting to look mightily tempting.. Oh hell who am I kidding!? I have built (and upscaled), primed and based another 5 legionaires for the XXth and I have another 5 chopped up awaiting plasticard spacers. Soon there will be paint. (after easter)

If now only FW will crank out a decalsheet for the XXth Legion.

Or pads

By all the dark gods! This thread is full of awesome! Seriously. Your conversion skills, scratch building skills, and painting skills are all inspiring!

Stuff looks great, as usual STC. I'm really digging this new chapter you've cooked up. The paint on that Land Raider is quite lovely; very smooth.

Oh, I forgot to share the pics of the finished sergeant. Here he is.

How could you forget to show us him....Looks very nice, a really nice shade of turquoise , the black helm really helps with the extra spot of colour.

Really like him. NEVER FORGET AGAIN!

The blue on that guy is absolutely gorgeous. I like the subtle off-setting colors like the different-colored helmet. The posing is great as well. I'm not sure on the basing style, though. Can't decide if I'm totally into the way the desert basing works with the blue. Regardless, though, it's great.

Mmmm.. spring!

Some progress on the deathwatch kill-team (sternguard), this one's almost done and the others will soon* follow.

Not the best image, gets a bit too much directional light, and thus glare, from outdoors.. but still.. *shrugs*
Hope you like it.
