Agreeing with EDC - those sang guard pieces work really well! Those shoulder pads look incredible too. I'll have to try that out some time

Thanks gents. I'm glad the Blood Angel bits are well received. Sometimes it's hard for me to really appreciate a kit bash because I'm used to certain pieces belonging to certain armies. Like I said, glad y'all like them. In the meantime, 1st veteran tacticals are almost done. Used the gold squad markings to set them apart a little. They look nice but I don't have enough for a second squad. So I will have to cook up something else, possibly white shoulder pads.

Oh, and the dudes without arms are gonna both have missile launchers.

That gold is still killa on those tacs. Looking good!

Nice progress on the Vets. Double ML is the way to go!

EDC

The Vindi on the last page is superb, and the Vet squad looks great too!

This blog is awesome. I'm so jealous of all the resin!

I was a little surprised to see the same white accent on both vindis. You mixed things up on the rhinos, was expecting the same here.

But I guess in 30k, they are not individual relics, storied veterans of countless battles, lovingly restored after each deployment. They are probably just two brother tanks, fresh from the forge world and part of the same squadron.

Everything is looking great. Keep up the good work!

Thanks gents, the end is near for this one. Only have a tank and about 17 more guys to paint. Speaking of the tank..

Nevlon- yeah I decided to paint them identically with the Predator in mind. I'm going to paint the turret white. Thinking the 3 together will look cooler, let the predator stand out. It totally makes sense in my head.

Now for the first Veteran Tactical Squad......

Nice looking vets squad Sir.

Excellent work on the vets.

EDC

Thanks guys finished the Siege Breaker conversion. Complete with a comparison shot with the Praetor.

Blonde hair and the base make me think he's going surfing . Great job with this army, nice an cohesive, plus it's all at a high standard.

I really love your colors: your blue, your white on the apothecary , the gold on your special squad's shoulder...
Nice stuff in this blog !

Good work making those two models so notably different! The Siege Breaker looks great! Any particular reason he's on the long base?

Thanks guys. And you know what Theo, it does look like he is surfing.

He's just on a long base because I didnt put him on a proper round one. Im gonna removed all these guys and build the bases anyway so I figured its no harm. He will end up on a 40mm one.

Very cool!!

Thanks Guildenstern. How about some Librarian action? Not sure how useful he is in 30k, but he makes a tidy conversion.

That's an awesome conversion of the librarian. Great work.

Siege Breaker looks cool too, nice idea putting the shield bling on the belt rather than on the shoulderpad. Wish I had done that with mine.

EDC

Thanks Cheese. Got some plasma guys here. I think I'll do the coils in an orange color. That should look suitably hot and stand out. Don't think there is any orange anywhere else in the army. So all I got left infantry wise is the last Veteran Tactical Squad. Think I will equip them with meltas.

So there she is. Truly a gem. Just look, absorb the resiny awesomeness, and enjoy.

Always had a soft spot for the Deimos Preds. Arguably a better design on the lascannon sponsons than the plastic version! Loving your plasma gun toting marines

Yeah, definitely a lovely tank design. Look forward to seeing it painted up.

Angel, I totally agree with your take on the sponsons. The 40k version looks like it could be clipped off by a rather inovative Tankbusta with a pocket knife.

Speaking of Tankbustas, A little more painting WIP for Warboss Dakka.

Making the turret white kinda limited the transfers I could put on it. But overall I think the look will be cool with the Vindicators. I'm hoping. I'm also hoping to have this army wrapped up in the next 2 weeks. So, back to it!

And with some extra free time.......all done!

Love the look of the 30k armor there.

Gotta say I didn't like the white dome on it by itself, but in the group shot it really makes it more cohesive to the army . That's probably where I keep messing up with my marines is I try to make each one look good (like a model warrior), but then as a whole they look disjointed.

Cracking armoured detachment there, the kind of firepower no one is going to mess with!

Very nice work on that pred. Makes me really regret selling my RT spoon-top.

Nice formation Sir.

Nice set of tanks there.

One question on the Predator - you've painted the muzzle-bit on the turret lascannon in white, but not the sponson ones - a touch more of your spot colour might be a good idea, without it being part of the main hull?
