The first attack bike has been rebuilt and redone.

Another bike also done.

On the jealousy scale, I am somewhere between "really" and "super".

Nice work!

I get my second lot of bikes from a fellow gamer. Now I have an extra 4 bikes and 2 attack bike NOS + Sammael (metal NOS) which I need to sell off since I won't need them. Oh well, maybe later I need to go to the swap shop and trade for some stuff (like an Ironclad Dreadnought).

Anyway, I whipped out my camera and took a picture of almost all the bikes stuff that I have so far and my current bike list. I am going for

Kor'Sarro Khan w/ Moondrakken
Command Squad on bikes w/ 4x Plasma gun + Company Standard
Librarian on bike - Force Dome + Null Zone

6 squads of bikes all have:
2x special weapons (e.g. plasma, melta) w/ 4 bikers
1 bike sergent with power fist
1 attack bike w/ multimelta (or heavy bolter)

That is a total of 6 attack bikes, 37 bikes.

Plus, I want the following extras so I can swap things in and out of my list
- CC command squad (w/ 3x LCs and 1x TH)
- Techmarine on bike (need to find some servo harness)

Anyway, here is what I have. Time to get back to more painting.

There is so much fast goodness here!

Thats a lot of bikes dude! I'm enjoying your conversions and paint jobs. Can't wait to see them on the field of battle again!

The chaplain is almost complete. Need to work on his bike.

Wow thats soo much work in such a little time.
you off to a tournment?
peace

Nah. I just spend every day doing it after work.

I finish the base coats for all the parts of my Chaplain on a bike so I put everything together. Next is line highlighting.

Exactly how its done, just a few paint strokes a day gets the models done.
I dig that black bike. Did you get Max's Ravenwing?
I'd like to see a better picture of the marine biker that is looking back over his shoulder.

Beautiful Army. Makes me want to start a bike army (cause I don't have enough models to paint already >< )

@Hmelrose: I didn't get Max's Ravenwing but instead opted for the other lot (20 bikes + 4 attack bike + 3 typhoon land speeder + Sammael).

@sparkywtf: I understand how it feels. I also have lots of things lying around not painted or assembled.

After this chaplain, I will be assembly lining a couple more bikes before getting back to my Drop Pod and Land Raider. This includes the marine biker that is looking back over his shoulder. I will need to replace his plasma pistol with a plasma-gun though. Plasma pistol is too overrated.

So my chaplain is complete. The wash makes the black part of the bike no longer smooth but it adds interesting pattern to it. Overall I like this guy quite a bit.

It is a pretty old model so that might be why he has a smoke launcher. :-)

This is the last bike that I will be working on. Kindda tired with painting so many in a row. I am gonna switch over to painting my Land Raider Redeemer which I got back in Thanksgiving. Hmm, that is more than a month ago. Should really get it painted.

that pedro looks nice you keeping it that color?
peace

Yeah, he has all his fist iconography scraped off already so he is my chapter Pedro Kantor now :-) He still need a lot done though. I guess I will revisit him once I am done with my land raider redeemer and land speeder storm.

Wip librarian.

Bloody nice work dude! I love the bone armour, very cleanly painted and I love seeing all those bikes! that's just insane right there! Libby is progressing well too! I may have to subscribe so i don't miss anything with the speed you're churning stuff out!

@nerdfest09: Thank you. :-) A subscription is always welcome. So are comments.

My librarian is complete. I think I will keep him in the back to provide psychic protection + continuously casting Force Dome.

He Looks awesome! How does he steer the bike though? with his mind or is he shouting oh nooooooooo

Power of the machine spirit. Of course. .

Failing that, he has a psychic power called "Chuck Norris bike riding" where if he pass a Ld+2 test, his can ride the bike without touching it.

Nice scroll work on the book dude! very nicely done! he looks cool as! I think he does have the Chuck Norris rule! I remember reading it somewhere....

your counts as Pedro Kantor is looking very smooth indeed. Nicely done

I have been working on the internal of my Land Raider Redeemer I got as part of the megaforce box with a friend. Too bad he didn't give me the instruction manual so when I assembled I forgot to put in the inner doors (between the two pieces) + the front ramp opening mechanism.

So my land raider now has no inner doors. The front doors don't open at the same time either. Oh well, lession learned I guess. I will be posting the assembled Land Raider soon.

Another thing that I want to note: since I basically painting a deathwing scheme for everything, I have gotten enough experience on how to quickly and reliably get the deathwing color.

Here is the info:

- Basecoat everything with a can of Army Painter Skeleton Bone. Goes lightly in two coats. You don't need to cover everything since the shade of creme is a bit different anyway.
- Apply Devlan Mud wash selectively to create edges.
- One coat of Dheneb Stone to most of the models leaving the edges you created.
- Final coat of Bleached Bone.
- Paint all details the colors you want
- Highlight as you wish

This is the fastest method to do Deathwing and Angel of Absolution that delivers consistent models with clean and good coverage. The biggest time saver is to basecoat with Army Painter. I can tell you from personal experience that working up to Bleached Bone from White Primer is a pain.

Not as much as working it up to Bleached Bone from a Black Primer lol (I have that problem on my Shoulder pads )

I needed to work with black shoulder pads and black backpack some time back. It takes one extra coat of Dheneb Stone at the start to put it into a manageable state.

I just want to quickly give a prop to Games Workshop. I emailed them during the weekend and today I received a pdf copy of the instruction booklet in my email.

That is the kind of customer service that every company should have.

I need to stop working on multiple stuff at the same time. Or maybe I need to organize cut-out bits better because I lost a couple of bits of my Land Raider Redeemer already. Oh well. I am gonna have it assembled and ready for the exterior painting soon enough. I don't even know why I should bother to paint the inside since most people won't see it anyway.

Shame there are no doors.

But it looks darn good!

Looking good Leohart! Now you have inner doors to be used for bitz or basing/terrain!
