Update-

Good evening all,

I do want to thank you people for being patient with my current lack of communication. Today is the first time I have been back on to Dakka and the internet in general for the past two weeks. I will give you all an update on were the project is currently and why I have not posted in a while.

Recently two forces of nature, Sandy and a Nor’easter, currently hit the eastern United States. Since October 29th,I have not had internet access due to the down wires. Finally, this morning the lines are up and I am here to speak. The second problem is the lack of current pictures for the project. Well that has to also due to a force of nature Gravity. As you all know, I use my IPhone for the photos on my blog. The problem is that a week before Sandy’s arrive I had dropped my phone into a nice puddle… and just like that the pictures are gone because I never got them on to my computer to show you all. I had called the insurance company for my phone and they had sent it out through the mail…. Then there was Sandy again and due to the Hurricane/Tropical Storm and The Nor’easter, the mail is backed up and I am still waiting for my replacement phone.

One good thing is that I did have two photos that I have to share. Now I have a small problem, the battle boards for the Armies on Parade model are not going to fit on the 2x2 required bases if I do my Scenic base as I planned.





I have a plan! I will great the scenic base as planned and make that part of a 6x4 full battle board. For armies on Parade purposes I will make a nice looking 2x2 flat board base that will fit in the full battle board.

Because you an all are so great I am announces the fourth conversion that is currently being worked on (as if I could stay Idle for 2 week) A Super-Heavy Drop-pod for the list… yes a drop-pod, it is not as crazy as it sounds . if you notice the unopened boxes on picture two above, It will give you a little idea of what is in front of my currently. As soon as I obtain my replacement phone, I will have my pictures of all of the little “creations” that I have been working on for the past 2 weeks in my blackout time.

'Super-Heavy Drop-Pod' ?!

That's got to be a 40k first.

Looking forward to seeing it!

Well i am glad to hear that lack of internet was the worst Sandy had for you. A super heavy drop pod?!? Excellent!

The premise of the idea is sound for a superheavy drop pod. Think about it. it pretty much has the rules of the planet strikes Mobile Fortress. All you will need to do is add the Deep strike special rule and a capacity the will be fair for gameplay and you are all set

I realize, I suck at sculping

-Update

First, I would like to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.

I would also want to tell everyone I finally received my phone yesterday and I will be able to give you a proper update by tomorrow.

Next, it will not be much do to my final school project and some personal RW problem that happened of the last week or so.

Please believe that I have all intent to provide you all with some new wonders that I created of the past few weeks

Thank you all for the support and patients

Looking forward to it. Thanks for letting us know.

more tonight

Not yet Unfortunately. My last course ends December 18th, I only have to complete one more project and then I will have my degree. I was tired at looking at text books for the past few weeks so I decides to say screw it and work on my models that I know were getting lonely. Will work on my detailing tonight.

Looks good, the wings on the cherub are great!

I wish to inform everyone that I was not being idle this weekend on my project. My mad scientist ideas have brought me to my first of the three conversation pieces of the project.
I am proud to introduce the Sisters of Battle Engine of Salvation.


I had to start this project by thinking what no one has seen before. People have seen the Dread knight engine and penitent engine conversation before, I am sure of this; however, I am sure that none has seen the variant of the penitent engine, Dread knight, and Sister Repentia conservation that I have just introduced you all to today.
Comments, question, options?
I would love to here what you guys think.

Nice work, I just finished some work on my own penitent engine creations thought I might share them with you.


you can find more at my PM blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/493771.page

Update-

Good afternoon all,

Rumors that were told me are confirmed about dark Angels coming out. This will specifically help me complete my sisters of battle army. The bits are very unique when it comes Angels cathedrals And religious bitz That will drawout the theme of my Army. I have been working extra overtime to make sure that I have the funds to complete this project by June when armies on Parade is on. Please do note that I will not be going to games day if I do win armies on parade at the store, The reason is I don't feel like going to Texas.

I did hope you would find a use for those cathedral bits, I am not personally a fan of them but they would be perfectly at home here! Hope to see some more modelling goodness soon!

Update-

I know that the last few months were far from lack luster and I know that I had many personal issues to take care of. With this in mind, I wanted to give you people a sneak peak of one of the items I am trying to finish up. This is the Engine of Damnation. This is the Arco-Flagellant variant of the heavy engines dread knight. This engine is armed with four whips to asunder the enemy in close quarters. I am currently missing the bits to complete the final item on this beast, this conversion is an easy one to make and will only take until next pay to by the items that I need.



For this project to be complete, I will have the unit of three penitent dread knights being released by the super heavy drop pod (which I am kinda stuck on now)

The Engine of Salvation- The Repentia Variant

The Engine of Damnation- The Acro-Flagellant Variant

Then the Engine of Predestination- Which will be the Crusader Variant of this army.

That is really cool! Looks great, the whips certainly suit the army style and the role of CC. Good work

loving the new conversion!!!!!!!!!!!
