Right now from what I have heard from the former GW employees that I hang around the Blood Angel and Sisters codex are ipad only and that is about it :/ kind of sucks. Damn GW, such a tease.

If a play em and dont own an ipad ya in trouble.

That would be most irritating, bloody ibooks.

Hey graven, I'm nearly done (hope to finish tonight... made the mistake of weed-whacking my yard and now my painting hand is completley shot... can't even hold a glass for fear of dropping it).

Is there a specific format you'd like the entry to appear in as far as pictures and text goes? Is it OK to point out the things that'll apply to judging but might not be obvious to the casual observer?

Thx - Gits

Yup, feel free to give pics in whatever form, and note applicably. Looking forward to the goods!

I am sure that there will other ways of acquiring it but from what I have heard as I said, it is an ipad only book release for Blood Angels and SoB

Finished my entry!

This is a gun servitor for my Mantis Warriors. He had a name once, that's not important anymore. He was re-purposed from a penal institution to serve the Emperor for His greater glory.

Here are the parts and build (including the two re-purposed aspects... the man and the tracked vehicle). The man is a D&D mini and the vehicle is an Epic land raider. OH, and his tow chain is actually a piece of jewelry chain with part of the fastening clasp removed!

Here's the servitor on his legal (25mm) base:

The base itself: There is a re-purposed part of the base. The fence is actually a wooden fence from my many failed attempts at model railroading. I liked building the buildings and kitbashing the cars... but I couldn't stand making the terrain or the electrical work. Which, as you might imagine spelled the doom of any model RR plans I had. OH, and that little tuft of tall green grass fell off some tyranid figure I bought second-hand and re-painted/based. So even some of the greenery has been "re-purposed".

Finally, the finished servitor on his base. As you can see he's plowed a path through a rocky field to make himself a small defensive burm from which he can fire his plasma cannon. Woe be unto any who stand before the servants of the emperor in defiance, for they shall know neither mercy nor solace!


It's been fun graven! Thanks for the opportunity to play in your sandbox for a while!!

While looking at these extremely good looking pics of your masterly executed conversion I wonder...do you own a dog or a cat sorry mate but whenever I see hairs lying around my very special OCD kicks in high gear...

That base is cracking mate, and no extra pics required by me. Brian's a bit of a stickler though

Cat, he likes to play in my photo booth. I tried to shake it out as best I could before photographing.

*note*
Took new photos minus cat hair and misplacement of servitor on base. Hope that suits better.

Indeed looks better now, and thanks for understanding my OCD...

I'm just so used to the damn cat hair everywhere I don't even see it anymore. Thanks for pointing that out Vik, it did make the pictures look better.

And you did use this chance to rearrange the base...so double win
Speaking of...when was the deadline again???

Halloween!

Ah, phewww...I was worried, only started with my entries painting process... Thanks mate

PLENTY of time left.... the whole month of October! I'm just a bit ahead of schedule for a change. That does free up brain space for a long overdue project though.

Awesomesauce, pure unadulterated (unless you want to be adultered) awesomesauce.

Are those SEQUINS??!!

Thanks mates, well it is a grot meganoob .

And git...???what do you referr to?

That's very cool vic - I see lots of bits re-purposed and I love the snazy paintjob.

I don't think those are sequins they are too small. Maybe they are rivets?

Ah I see, thanks for the compliment, and that is supposed to look like riveted armor...somthing along the lines of ringmail?...its just two sizes of punched plastic card...
