yeah... christmas was quite good i guess... got a graphic tablet i know have to get comfy with...

the cam sounds as if it has lots of feratures...a slr camera? cool!

^Gtraphic Tablet? Sounds nice! I just got a heap of money.

With part of that I bought the camera. It was very cheap, I managed to get it for $83 with a RRP of approx $200. Got to love boxing day sales! It's not a slr camera exactly. It just has a setting that changes those settings. I bought it because it was cheap and reliable. I also wanted more money to spend on minis!

ah... understood^^...well the hobby for me a good or better a reliable cam is a must... sometimes i can only see the glitches of my work through the lense of my cam^^

well the tablet i wanted for a long time but i need to learn how to use it... that could take a while...^^

I have seen many a glitch through a camera lens, and yes a good camera is a must!

Graphics tablet? I didn't even know what it was until I googled it. Looks very cool though!

well there is just so many ways you could draw or photoshop something with the use of a mouse... the pen would make that so much simpler...

So then should I expect some awesome concept drawings and other such scribbling for your IG force then!

i hope i can manage that in time...^^ but that in essence was the plan^^

Well I cant wait to see what you and that graphics tablet can come up with!

Update Time.

Twin-Linked Auto Cannons for my Dreadnought!









That's all for now.

Thanks for looking!

? whered you get those bad boys from ?

Those are looking massive! Where are the autocannons from? Aegis defence line?

for the rifleman!

love that look!

and a happy new year to ye down under^^

Not to be harsh, but the Blood Angels icons and the Inquisition shoulder pads look out of place.

I like the concept behind army.

@Old Man Ultramarine- Thanks for commenting. I am too lazy to shave some of the Icons off. My new Sternguard squad has Red scorpion Icons on them. I tend to make up some fluff to counter my laziness. My excuse for the Inquisition Icons is that some of my Ultras have served within the Inquisition hence the Deathwatch Shoulder pads, and as for the BA icons, the only ones I see are the small gem like tear drops which I think just looks like ornate armour on Ultramarines. I'm still coming up for an excuse for the Red Scorpion Shoulder pads on my Stern guard!

@Vik-Thank ye! And Happy New Year to ye too!

@CommissarKhaine & bigfish - Yes They are from the Aegis defence line. And I used a LR turret covering thingy cut in half for the casing!.

Love the TLAC. It's always nice to see someone who's as obsessive about converting everything.

Loving the Twin-Linked Auto Cannons on the rifleman dread man!

Not seen them done with covers before it really works!

Although its making me want to convert some for my self haha , I'll have to write one in to the next 750 points I do.


Keep up the good work

@CommissarKhaine & bigfish - Yes They are from the Aegis defence line. And I used a LR turret covering thingy cut in half for the casing!.

Interesting - stored away for future use, thanks!

Hey man, can you tell ne where you got the torso and shoulder pads from for your chaplain please?

Thanks for all your comments guys!

@kitch102- Which Chaplain? I'm assuming the first one; if so I got those from the FW Sevrin Loth Honour Guard set! The other Chaplain was based of the LOTD sergeant.

Dude! Flying Poo your work here is great! I'm only sorry I didn't stop in sooner.

Those combi-meltas are sweet.

I would have flipped the shields so the ^ was more V for the ultramarines, but they look great as is.

Your conversions and paint schemes are very impressive. Thanks for sharing!

Mr poo hows it going? I love this thread It makes me want to do spartans also.
You nearly finished your terminators?
Them heads fit perfect on the bodys.
peace spudkins

Awesome work mate. The TLAC Dreadnaught is something else!

Bash

The new Forgeworld email I got today showed a preview of a neat new model that looks like it would fit right in with your Spartan force!

My local GW store put it up on their facebook page! Here is a linky:

With all of these comments I feel I have to do something, so I will work on the remaining three Terminators in my squad. I have all the bits laid out now. Thanks for all your comments helping be divert some attention away from my Orks!

@Hmelrose- That looks AMAZING, I have to buy it! I just checked my I checked my email from FW right now. Too bad it's just a sneak peak!

that head would be so wicked for your army! if possible that should be on your chaplains....

That head looks WICKED, I may actually buy that model!!

Finally an Update

Thanks for all the comments that convinced me to do some more work on my Ultras.

Here is my whole Terminator Squad, the guy on the left is a little camera shy .


Here are the three I finished today.


Single photos.


"I don't like photos".


I don't think the pose of the legs worked well with all the bits I was putting this guy but I'm hoping the "cheer leader effect" will make him look good with his peers.


I mean seriously what is with this leg pose? I might just buy anther set of more static terminator legs and replace these, because to me they're just ugly.


Anyway that's it for now.

Thanks for looking everyone!

I like what I'm seeing!

For that Termie I'd consider cutting his legs at the knees and then repositioning them as you want them, possible use of GS would be included.

If anything I want to reposition his toes. It looks as if he is going to fall over, but repositioning the legs may make his pose more convincing. Thanks for the suggestion Hmelrose! It might save me a few bucks buying new terminator legs. It's at least worth a try. If it does not work I'll just buy some more legs!

I think the legs could work well if you went with a more dynamic pose. For example, torso twisted slightly to the right, left arm fully extented to the front (stabby like), shield arm tucked, head following the stab. Maybe that would look better than a static Michael Jackson "up on toes" look
