They look really nice, and that board was done in a day?? Impressive! I really like the Aquila's, did you do them with a cutout of plasticard cos they look great

Looking atthis army togheter is awesome, though there is one thing that bugs me, you landraider looks way to dusty/muddy compared to your other minis imo, would be cooler if you were consistent about how dirty they're gonna be.
Other than that, fantastic army mate, keep it up

lot's of spelling issues lol, I write to fast sry.

^I understand what you are saying, but I think they are fine. A Landraider would be zooming around the battlefield, throwing up dust, dirt, and mud. On top of that, it probably takes a ton of fire, because it can. It doesn't have to worry about taking cover, etc. And finally, since a Landraider is so rough and tough, it's probably "been in the field" for quite a long time. Again, I understand what you are saying, and you are entitled to an opinion, but that's the way I personally feel.

cool, hows the libby?

I was just about to ask the same question

Yes, I need MOAR LIBRARIAN!

Could you post (or PM) me some more detailed shots of your FW Cadian commander? I've got the model, and would be interested to see what you have done with it!

Nice.

You like your plasma's!

They're looking good tho. Will be great to see it all finished.

I agree about the levels of dustdom on the land raider, but its as DarkAngels said; not wrong.

U gonna buy anything else?

awesome stuff as always, I'm impressed your keeping up with your painting while studying I certainly can't

In truth I am a bit annoyed with the landraider. I’m almost tempted to sell it and buy another. As to the Cadian stuff: I’ll take some pics of that when I have some time so I’m sorry if you have to wait a bit.

as to the librarian; when I paint single minis I get so engrossed I don't want to put them down and end up painting for days and days, so... I’ve put him in a safe, out of site place so I’m not tempted until the exams are over. single minis so time consuming so I’ve just doing a couple SoO figures for the time being, as you can paint one of the in a one or two break in the revision. I’ll probs go back to the librarian once I’ve broken up from college at the start of June.

And as to what next... I’m thinking of maybe doing a small Blood Angels army to play along with my Sons, probably a ball predator and one or two other units. Depends on how I feel. I’m currently working on a chapter master for the SoO though I haven't mentioned hem previously as I’m not yet certain how well he'll turn out. I’m converting him from a plastic terminator chaos lord. The Blood Angels addition isn't definite; it's only a concept at the moment.

I do want a predator for my SoO as I’ve never had a crack at building/paining one. I do need some more basic marines and some more heavy support so feel free to suggest things.

Cheers, SONS of ORAR

Just notices I’ve got over 25,000 views!!! Thanks to everyone who has commented or looked at this blog so far! It’s great to have your opinions, tips and complements!!

Thank you all

My suggestions would be to get a drop pod....always nice to paint and good for patches of weathering. And also go for a predator and some scouts.....a telion conversion would be cool hint hint

Congrats on 25k! Can't wait for your "exams" (as you silly Brits call them! jk) to be over so we can have more updates!

Nice looking sarg and very cool Ven Dread keep up the good work!

wow looking awesome!

Heavy support eh? A devastator squad is a great choice for heavy support if you want some cheap firepower. They can choose a variety of weapons (for a well-rounded squad, I took 2 heavy bolters, 1 plasma cannon and a lascannon. Or, you could take a thunderfire cannon. It's fun to use, and it'll provide you with great support while your assault marines and tacs advance. Hope this helps, an once again, good job on all your minis!

I have a 6 man dev squad with a Twin linked Assault Cannoned Razorback.

I once tried that and had great succes. It works well in most situations, just watch out for outflanking and speedy units.

I like the sound of the razorback devastators, i think i may have to try that

you get the fast movement, and extra fire power from the twin linked turret.

Cheers Dee

2 Missile launchers, 1 Las cannon and a Heavy bolter. 1 with a boltgun and a vet serg with combi plasma.

took a long time to get the assault cannons the bits and kist order was lost, no feadback from them. and a friend called Paul got me a crusader frame with the assault cannons.

Just stumbled across this thread and spent half my afternoon looking at everything. Unbelieveable job so far, keep up the good work!

You also probably sold me on picking up the Forgeworld Imperial Armour book as well.

Hey.. if you run devastators and you want to have ANY success with them whatsoever take 2 or (max!!! 3 are not as good) 3 heavy weapons in 5 man squad. Dont take lascannons... they are way too expensive. Missile launchers are the best weapon to use. With razorbacks you want to go with the vanilla one or lascannon one... but for that 150+ pts you are investing into razorback+devs you can get cheaper predator equipped with 2 lascannons and a autocannon which is nearly the say (i would say better) than devs+razorback...

If i would run devastators i would take 2x missile launcher+combimelta for sarge.

But 4 heavy weapons look cool and sons of Orar look cool too so its up to you.

You should waite and see my chaos Pred conversion...

Show us!
