this is all pretty cool. I especially like the scratch-build one iwth the chainsword and light

When you call an intimate moment with your partner "the Assault Phase"

Is that followed by a pile-in move?

That brings a whole new meaning to the term "Hit and Run"

Can that be following a deep strike, or do you have to wait until the next round?

I'm not really happy with it either, I wanted to go for a steampunk feel and failed a bit.

The second hammer for my second Ironclad though, is rather obvious:



I used the same MkIV thing on that one, too.

@adamsouza: I'm not so sure anymore, to be honest. Either a trimmed down head from the Chaos Terminator Lord sprue or from the Chaos Marine Command sprue, I think. Could also be from WHFB Chaos Warriors...

Thanks for the comments, I just hope I can be of help to someone

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

The first Ironclad is already painted, I posted pictures of it in my new awesome WiP Thread.

I think the hammer still looks a bit funny. The main issue is probably that it would fit in more with Tau or Eldar esthaetics (sp?) than with Marines...

The second one (which you lot seem to prefer) is also under the brush right now.

I am stealing the second hammer design for my Salamander dread! Also, where did you get the dragon's head from, and how do you make the hammer?

Right where to start oh yeah fantastic conversion love all of it inc the first hammer though i would have glued the lard dragon head from the chaos vehicle sprue to make it more in line with the forge world one.

Right answer one the head is from the chaos command box and is the tzeench head with all four horns filled of i know this because i spent 4 hours painting my brothers tzeech standard.

The second hammer is made from a autocannon barrel (i think) with the head bieng made from a havoc launcher blastmaster front and the bottom is a small gargoyle head from the chaos vehicle sprue you can make this if you get a chaos pred and give it all lasconnons and for marine armys just dont put any chaos bits on.

hope this helps

Welcome to the P&M Tutorials section, where threadomancy is more than welcome.

To add something more constructive to this thread, I'd like to mention that if you plan to use a CSM termie front torso to make your sarcophagus, you'll need to reduce slightly its width.

Last thing: ALL HAIL CATHAR THE GREAT FOR HIS TUTORIAL!!!
