Is that a contemptor multimelta? How was that conversion?

Nicely done STC, enjoyed the lead-in too.

@whalemusic360: It is, I had a leftover one from the BaC-Box and this model originaly had a plasmacannon. So I cut away the cannon part, removed a part of the bottom to harmonise the size with the CCW-arm and stuck the MM beneath. Turned out quite well I think.

@Gitsplitta: Thanks, I do enjoy building a story around the army so I thought I should share that too. For completeness sake.

Holy Throne... Dat super heavy doe!

I wish that my plasticard skills were that good: if they were, my tanks wouldn't be as wonky as the Warp! Do you just use a metal ruler and scalpel to cut the card or do you make use of one of those angle cutters? If so, I need one...

So far I only use an exactoknife and a metal ruler, I would like som angle cutters but I never get around to getting one...

I think I need a new ruler then... When it comes to replicating parts, I find it doesn't matter how careful I am, they always come out on the piss.

Have only just looked through the last three pages but absolutely stunning work. Will read the rest of the pages once I get some proper free time, inspiring work across the board STC

Whatever happened to the Stormbird?

Workers at the production-plant is on extended strike so no progress has so far been made

However since the Stormlord and Volkite-Stormblade are now done it's the only scratch-build I currently have on my table so it might soon see some more work.

Excellent to see you back in action! I read this for a while as an anon, but now i've got an account and everything! I like the dread here, excellent conversion work!

Not enough Raven Guard!!! Why?!?!!!

Sheesh, there's a dreadnought out and I have a moritat and some destroyers for the XIXth legion in the pipe, give it time

I'm so glad you've kept this blog going, dude. Scratch builds and paint jobs to soothe the soul. Always been one of my favourite blogs!

WWWOOOOO!!!! Very impressive work... those marines on the previous page are bad ass!!! Very individual look and nice energetic feel to them!

Thanks guys, glad you like them.

So yeah, why have a single project when you can have two?!

I got my grubby paws on a BoP box an built meslef some sniper-Veterans, because why the hell not?

This time around we go with the Sons of Horus, quick, fun and easy to paint. looks quite good too and is a great army for infantry-heavy close range bolter action (wich is what we are doing here).
Also they are green, i like painting green.

Got a testmodel almost done, it lacks a base and s helping of pigment-powder but is otherwise done, thoughts and so forth are always welcome.

Nice job on the Sniper Vets, the extended barrel does the job perfectly, the weathering on the armour looks great too.

EDC

I will shamelessly say I stole your sniper bolted conversion (pics in my blog, link in my signature). This blog continues to amaze me. Continue with your great work!

Excellent. The weathering and battle damage just brings him to life.

Very nice! I love the weathering on the armor, and it contrasts nicely with the beautiful teal of it.

Thanks guys.

Right now I am making a Heavy tank from scrap in my bitsbox (who even has half a landraider and a baneblade turrent in his bitsbox?), I thought I might be able to use it as a Malcador Assault tank, belive it or not, those are fast as hell and twice as nasty in the Heresy, also, being the only superheavy in the HS-slot.

Now I am using some wonky pieces and trying to make it work and it's very WIP, the hull is no way near finished, I still need to Craft sponsons for the lascannons, stowage, RIVETS! and fill gaps and stuff, it's only about two afternoons spent on this so far.

That's AWESOME!

My bits box consists of mostly BaC and BoP parts, Chaos Space marines, elves and WoC. Oh, and GK. They seem to be everywhere.

On the subject of bits boxes, would you by any chance have any HH-era power armour legs? I lost my BaC sprue with the last two on them, and cant find any legs on eBay...

Awesome work dude, this is probably my favourite blog out there!

Did you know that this is the most exalted thread ever on dakka? if not you do now.
very cool

Thank you

No, I don't have any spare legs I am afraid, I have used them all.

So, I'm painting up my Flambard Superheavy Tank for my XIXth legion force, because one van never have enough Choom! Volkites on everything!

It's a bit bright but it will darken down quite bit once we get som mud, dust, burns, impactdamage and some freehand and decals on this wee thing.

That is an insane gun.... I love it!

RAVEN GUARD! YAY!

Thanks, well it is a scout-titan scale Volkite; it's supposed to be insane.

While I do denominate it as the Volcanum-Pattern Flambard Special Weapons Tank (the Volcanum being the Mechanicum Forge-Ark bonded to the Pale Nomads Chapter's expedition fleet into the Halo-zone), rules-wise it's a stormblade, and the Telerac-pattern Volkite Columbiad (for now) a plasma blastgun (though being a bit bigger).

I do prefer the Telerac-pattern aestetic to the more stripped-down look of the Mars-Omega, (the infantry-used charger, caliver and culverin) wich lacks the inverted crescent-cowling and is a bit more messy while the former has a more compact and sleek design: fitting as it is a far older design than the Mars-Omega and traces its origin to the cataclysmic wars and machine-rebellions of Old Night.

Lovely work as always, dude. Keep at it!

I understood less than half of that...
