hehe ... in myarmy everything is second to wolftime. ... to be honest i do not know yet how my army will develop in the early future. but up to now, all vehiclecrewes in my army are based on spacemarine-parts. theyare actualy no real space marines ... but that's pretty complicated to explain ...

ojk9 wrote:Nice - I want one badly. How much did it cost to build?

hmm don't know exactly ... ~250euros.

kharndude wrote:How do you move it on the board?

i do not play that much, but normaly like every other "ordinary" vehicle. but it's quite a lot of fun though, to rc it on an empty table, with just scenery on it.

hi there,

before starting to paint them i decided to put a picture of my 3 already finished rc-tanks on cmon.
so please feel free to vote for it, but please keep in mind that you're not voting for the missing paintjob, but for the conversions and the fact that they areremote controlled.
for demonstration purpose i also added the address ofthe corresponding video on youtube. - just to ensure that everyone believes the "special functions" of these tanks ...
-
here's the link:

yeah ... i installed some upgrades in the baneblade.
.
e.g. a 2nd main gun and lights shining from the inside through the little windows on top ...
.

another demonstration video of iron saints single wheel suspension ....
.

i decided to use the titans, the baneblade and the shadowsword for a new army based on the imperial guard.
.
there'll be many tanks, some flyers, the 2 titans and at least 5 rc-tanks in it ... - just to give you an impression what will come within the next ~ 3 years ...
....
so let's start wit hthe first tank, that i started to paint today ...
i wanted to have a dark color scheme with a note of camo in it.
further it should be easy to paint with brushes only, because i don't have an airbrush and it should be applyable for flyers, tanks and titans.
in the end i decided to take a scheme close to that from the dkok.
.
so here's waht i did today ... :


-
in the following pic you can see a picture (on my screen), that i found on the internet, showing the tank that inspired me to choose this scheme:
-



-
comments and critisism very welcome as the pj is still in early state and easy to modify.

meanwhile i painted and attached the sidesponsons, the fuelbarrels and the hull mounted cannon. further i painted the exhausts...
.

yesterday my iron saint got a new cannon.
now i can choose between 2 different ones depending which tank it shall represent.:

and also the baneblade got some additional details ... :
.

as next i'll paint this one ... :
.

hi all ...
today i'll have to tell you something some of you might have been already waiting for ...
.
i finally decided to release a relatively detailed tutorial on my blogpage how everyone could create his own remote-controlled baneblade.
-
i'll tell you what parts will be needed, what to take care for and how to assemble the tricky parts.
-
some minutes ago i released the first articel of this series on my page.
you will find it followign this link:

comments and feedbacks are highly appreciated.

and here's a small teaser for you ... :

I don't have imperial guard, but I will make it a looted wagon of moving death!!!
Yay! tutorial!
If you post it on here you would win the contest as well...

-
hmmm mybe, yes. but this won't be only one short article, but a series of at least 5 or 6 spread over let's say the next 2 months. so i thought it is not the right stuff to take part at the contest, right? ...
-

and regarding costs-question asked above: ...
without the stuff from gw and without too much additional stuff the only thing you'll need are the tracks for ~15€, the leo2 for ~35€, 4 miniserveros for 20€ and maybe some additional leds + cable and resistors for maybe 10€.
so tank + 80€. of course this is still a lot of money, but this i also a relatively huge project which will def keep you busy for more than just 2 days ...
-
but now back to topic .... : today i relaesed the 2nd article ....
here's the link:

and a small vid showing the current status:

Next you should work it so that the barrel fires little plastic shells at people!

-
i already did that ... :
.

today I made a new vid of bb #1 which is almost finished, now ... :
-


-
I also installed 2 additional batteries and continued with the paintjob.
unf I broke my right hand 2 weeks ago ... so I have to do everythign with the left hand, now ... - this is also the reason why there aren't many updates on my projects at the moment. ... - sorry for that ...

hi there ... sorry for not having posted for so long ...
but as i've told you before i have broken my right hand (4 times) ...
so the permanent cast i have to wear for 12 weeks prevents me from continueing in almost all of my currently running 40k-projects until the 3rd of september ...
well ... but the first 6 weeks are already over, which means, that the 2nd 6 weeks are about to srtat tomorrow. ... so from now on i'll start counting backwards, again ...
.
but to keep you updated here are 2 relaively new vids of my iron saint and the valkyre that i equipped with some leds.
.


-


-
but even if i'm neither able to build, nore to build at the moment i#m using the time for reading almost everything 40k-related that i can find. further i'm spending a lot of time on planning other projects and collcting the bits necessary to relaise them after september the 3rd.
-
and to be hontest there's quite a lot in the queue for upcoming autumn and winter.
-
- the valks will become a squadron if 3. all equipped with the same stuff as the one shown in the vid. the 2 other valks are already build. some cables are still missing ... - and of course the paintjob-
- currently there are two rc banebladevariants in the army. the iron saint and the already finished baneblade. this baneblade will become part of a squadron consisting of two more baneblades. a stormlord and a shadowsword. i already started building both before i broke my hand. they are already ready to run, but the conversions themelf are not finished, yet.
- you might remember the big titan from this vid.:


together with the smaller warhoundclass titan from the first vid it will also become a memeber of this army. further i already collected all bits needed to build the missing two titanclasses as well: imperator and reaver.
- further this army will be reinforced by 10 sentinels, 3 leman russ variants and 3 basiliks.
- and in the end ~70 old metal imperial soldiers.

that's everything that is about to reinforce imperial guard in the next 2 years.
but in parallel there are also other things going on ... :
- e.g. i'll finally have to decide how to paint the two remote controlled land raiders that were meanwehile finished. - i'm honestly thinking about using them to start a new sm-army.
- and of course there's also some stuff to finish for my space wolves. - 4 smaller tanks, some buggies and 4 morre wolfriders. ...
.
...
i'll keep you updated ...

You make me feel like a total amature with mittens for hands.

Keep up the awesome work.

thanks ...
here's another vid that shows a experiment i made just for fun, but somehow the idea behind keeps spinning in my head ... :
-

some wing-art ...
after i ruined a set of transfers from FW it decided to do it freehand ...
.

i finally managed to motivate myself again.
and so i continued with my stormlords vmb ... :
.

and the show goes on ...
.

meanwhile the stormlord is almost finished.
i added the sidesponsons and a dozerblade. further i rearanged the exhausts and integrated a door in the rear, instead.
...
here are soem pics and a new vid ... :victory:
.
btw.: happy new year to all of you ... :grin:
