Hmmmm...... if i have a friend going to Games Day I might see if they can have a nose about for me.

Nice but far too out of my price range, especially now

£12.50 over here. Worth it. Pretty...

Yes it is worth it at that price but I have to get to a FW event or pay through the nose on ebay.

Might send someone to Games day with £60 to make a squad of 5, should have saved some cash by then

Let me know if you need that bike base

@dantay: it's ok WM has a spare, and that'll enable him to tie it to all the others in the gms. Thanks though.

They were expensive, but It was my vacation money and I'm old so..." I do what I want!" ( insert Cartman's voice).

I come to regret in the past purchases that I passed over. So I'm a bit of a collector.

Now I spend my time working, Trying to get my mower working , Painting and gleaming off of Git's fame!

SL

You guys continue to way overestimate my influence. On purpose as you know it irritates me... b*stards...

A friend of mine is posting my guy, cant wait to do an assault squad of MKIII's

Bet you're excited about the new assault marines!

Ok, so a sort of update. Things bit crazy here as it's #2son's 1st birthday tomorrow. No pics (yet... Maybe after kids in bed) but here's a rundown of currently on the workbench: if there's something specific you want to see, cast your vote as it were, and I'll make that a priority!
I've just about finished kitbashing a LS Tempest, Minotaur Termie Commander from IA10, Corteaz from djfrank's chaos warrior bits, half a squad of purifiers with home made incinerators, and the digger arm of #1's tank/excavator.

Answers on a postcard...

Congrats on the little ones birthday.

Happy Birthday to #2! (tomorrow)
I want to see a Mentor vehicle (unless i am being stupid and you've already done one :S), so i want to see the Tempest, pretty pretty please

Wooo-hooo! Happy birthday to the little one! :-)

That's a lot of stuff going on there graven... looking forward to pics!

Ask and ye shall receive...



Very rough and ready, lot of clean-up to be done, but still - thoughts?

Also, enormous thanks to anyone and everyone who rated my Iron Lion in the gallery so highly! I'm dead chuffed!

mmmm me likey! Thanks man!
The missile pods look so much better there than sticking out from the back, truly nice work as always graven The armoured cockpit is a nice touch too, as is the LOS Assault cannon.

I like your take on the tempest, forgot to put any missiles on mine as it turns out!

Well the side missiles, cannon and cockpit are what distinguishes a tempest from a typhoon. But I'm glad you liked

ahhh another example of my brain not working haha
still like it though man, it looks really streamlined (definitely more so than the standard Speeder)
@Reaper Man 2020, silly man! you always need more missiles

I think it has potential. Once it's cleaned and whatnot, it should make for an awesome model.

Very impressive looking vehicle... I like the armored look... really effective & intimidating.

Nice model indeed...

Can't wait to see it painted!

Thanks for all the comments guys. Yeah, I wanted to do something a bit chunkier - and cheaper! - than the fw version. Not sure if I'll do another, but it's eminently replicable.

Anyway, more stuff.
Minotaur Termie special from IA10 (power spear, death ray):


Small fry's latest effort (wheels in "his" bits tub!)


And some Knights Carnelian, kitbashed GKs inspired by Knightly's awesome work:






Oh, and what GK horde would be compoets without Corteaz?


C&C as ever welcome,
Later, graven

Awesome Gks especially the Corteaz conversion.

Looking awesome so far bud, and really like the armoured Tempest.

Those kit bashes are tops graven! The same but.... different! Good to see Junior establishing his bits territory. It'll give 'im a sense of ownership. :-)

Hot damn, those kit bashes leave mine for dust! I can see idea's I'm going to try and pillage already

a Cyber OWL!! Awesome work on all the kitbashes graven!
and small fry's work is still astounding me

Thanks guys.

@Knightly, hush, your stuff is awesome and as I've said a major inspiration.

@BH thanks bud, and now to shamelessly pinch your GK colour scheme...

@Revenant: Yeah, I love that owl, and it ties the GK/=I= to my Mentor Legion, too.

@poo: Cheers, one of those - I have the idea in my head, I wonder if this'll work? I'm very grateful to djfranq for the chaos warrior bits, more will probably become retinue.

@gits: Ta; and, yeah, he does like stealing my toys! Bits for a foamcore Stormlord that never quite happened, what's a guy to do eh?

I'm really happy with how the incinerators turned out, means I have a squad of 10 Purifiers with 4 burners, hurrah. I also made a Knight of the Flame from a Sternguard and Castellan Crowe from other bits.
I'll need to chuck my Paladins together (yes, they're grotesquely expensive, but they're damn near unkillable with an apothecary), which will be pretty vanilla - though the GKs were always supposed to be an easy side project for a quick, playable 1000 point army. And then there's the small matter of getting a Furioso to turn into a Psyfleman...

I'm going to make a list of everything still to do build-wise, as that might motivate me to get a move on (gulp).
Casting:
6 Owl helms
14 Winged pads
14 Chapter badge pads

Building:
GK Paladin Squad
IA9 special characters

Modelling:
Sternguard squads chains, clean-up
Jet bikes clean-up
Attack (jet) bikes
Tech jet bike servo arm, c-beamer, prow
MotF gs filling
Predator finish magnetising sponsons
Scout squad camo cloaks

Basing:
Dreadnoughts
Realm of Battle board (insofar as it needs to be textured to match my bases)

Painting:
Oh, everything.

Doesn't look quite so bad like that, does it?

Good to have a list to work from. Helped with my Adepticon build and give you something else to work on if you need a break for the current projest

Happy belated B-day to your #2

One project at a time my friend. That's the only way I get through it.

Good advice my friends. My aim is to complete my builds of what's in front of me on the workbench, so that I clear that off for the next lot (which will be the sternguard and the jetbikes). IA9/10 guys will be a build project treat for another time, I think.

I forgot to add to the list:
GMS projects -
WM360: Weeping Angel biker (paint stage 2)
Gitsplitta: Weeping Angel Tactical marine (just hunted out the bits for him, I think I love him a little bit...)
Solar_Lion: Solar Lion chapter master Patroclus (paint stage 3), Solar Lion Champion The Iron Lion (paint stage 3)
endtransmission: counts-as Straken (paint stage 1)

Yep. You acknowledge the sage advice of one project at a time and reveal even more!

I approve. Very nice stuff so far, start to finish. I must say that Tempest is good stuff.
