The chapter master and honor guard squad are fantastic! The chapter master himself is an incredibly good conversion!

Also, the raven's council is also amazing... great use of plastic bits to create such a unique squad.

Great work! I look forward to seeing these being painted

Cheers,

Jack.

how did you glue the eagle to the arm wouldn't it be to heavy?

**SargesSquad**

Your conversions are awesome. Because there are so many little things that you're adding here and there, are you ordering bitz packs, or just each piece as you think of it?

Keep it up; your work is why many of us enjoy the game.

Welcome to the forum Bradshaw! The Raven is from an Witchunters Inquisitor, the staff top is a ravenwing bike emblem and the wings (I believe) are from an Empire standard.

**bradshaw**

Where do you get the wings you used for the back on your chapter master?

**Roleplayer**

Not finished yet, but here's some shots of my Dreadnaught's Drop pod, about 75% done, just doing the details now, tho some of the bleached bones need another thin coat or two to get rid of streaks

Thoughts and suggestions on colours?

**Miss Dee**

Thats fantastic, what paints do you use

Sadly I don't own a printer

**Miss Dee**

I think an art shop might print them out for you.

**fudal78**

Great colours, the dark shading and bright highlights really make the scheme pop. I don't know what else to suggest colours-wise but it does look like you need a couple more coats of Bleached bone there, just to smooth things out.

Do you do your black-lining with a pen or is that just very accurate brush-work

**bradshaw**

what is your dead line or dont you have one

I think it's a Rune of some sort.

Yes , its fine :

**wyomingfox**

Ah Luna...you forgot to write "the more you know"

Japan
Japanese maps continue to use the swastika symbol to denote a Buddhist temple. [2]

[edit] Indian Subcontinent

The logo of the Indian State of Bihar incorporates a swastika.In the Indosphere (South Asia, Greater India), the swastika remains ubiquitous as a symbol of wealth and good fortune. In India and Nepal, electoral ballot papers are stamped with a round swastika-like pattern (to ensure that the accidental ink imprint on the other side of a folded ballot paper can be correctly identified as such).[citation needed] Many businesses and other organisations, such as the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and the Nepal Chamber of Commerce[82], use the swastika in their logos. The red swastika was suggested as an emblem of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in India and Sri Lanka, but the idea was not implemented[83]. Swastikas can be found practically everywhere in Indian and Nepalese cities, on buses, buildings, auto-rickshaws, and clothing.

**Grey Knight Luke**

its a backwards swastica.

**LunaHound**

For anyone that didnt read the wiki i linked , i'll type it out .
Swastika have been around LONG before German decided to copy it. It symbolizes the "force , power"

Its perfectly fine to use it.

**slann**

Now if he painted tiny mustaches and had armbands with the symbol on there I would say its messed up .

subtlety's the key there
Then again, it could be an 'R' with an extra bit between the loop and angled line

Yeah sorry guys, I live in Japan and am a buddhist, to us that symbol is either just the marker for a shrine or a symbol of good luck and good fortune. You find it everywhere around here. The intention was for it to just be a marker of good fortune for scatter rolls as I pray

Also that the drop pod is like the Dreadnaught's shrine or temple to the machine god, and this was it's marker.
It wasn't intended to be Nazi related or anything. Playing in japan there's no chance of it being mis-interpreted.

Thanks to those people who pointed out the meanings of the symbol over here in the far east have nothing to do with the evils of the Nazi party
