Saw this on the GW blog today... I may have to steal this for my Razorbacks. Looks awesome! Though they appear to have their wires crossed for where the turret came from. That's a Stormraven turret!

**GrimDork**

Well... that certainly looks cooler than a normal razorback. At the same time... dat gunner gonna eat a laser and forget how to shoot

Does the storm eagle not have the same turret?

**angelofvengeance**

Not got one...

**GrimDork**

TYPO!

Quality is slipping! GW will be closed forever in mere weeks after this travesty!

Pretty n00b mistake though

**Paradigm**

I don't think it's a typo, I think they meant you basically have the turret left over as the Eagle is, as far as I know, a conversion set for the Raven kit (I could be wrong, though), so you get the turret but nowhere to put it.

Cool squad either way, though.

**GrimDork**

Ahh that makes more sense then

**angelofvengeance**

Yeah I thought it was a full resin kit to be honest. Still a Storm raven turret nit picking aside :-p

**angelofvengeance**

Nihilakh Comes....

**angelofvengeance**

Well I appear to have figured out why the vindicator weapon doesn't move...

**Paradigm**

Ugh, is that plastic glue or Chaos sorcery holding that in place?

Kind of hard to tell!

**GrimDork**

Not the same thing? Gross.

**angelofvengeance**

Managed to get it cleaned up for the most part. Couldn't fix the Demo Cannon elevation/depression issue though so I've cleaned up all the glue from that panel and re glued it back on with some proper glue. Seriously considering a Dettol dunking for it though. Might have to do some plasticarding and green stuffing to make it water tight.

**Azazelx**

I hope that provides you with enough inspiration.

**angelofvengeance**

My Deimos Predator.. and his friends. 1 more Razorback to assemble and I'll have a nice number of tanks to crush the heretics and xenos alike. Plus some WIP Canoptek Wraith awesomeness in the background. Quite proud of the Autocannon turret with the HK missile on the turret.

**angelofvengeance**

Took me a good while to get hold of the right bits, but here's my Dark Angel TDA Librarian kit bash. Just need to GS a longish cable to the staff now and he'll be ready for a full paintjob.

**Paradigm**

That is pretty snazzy!

**angelofvengeance**

Yeah it is. Kinda dreading doing the beard on his face though. Not had much experience with facial hair heads.

**GrimDork**

Yeah... that's nice and epic, excellent work

**squall018**

Librarian is great. I see ( at least I think) a few different kits in there.

Also, don't tell anyone, but I'm guilty of gluing guns in place on a lot of my tanks. I just don't like them moving around. That being said, I don't use that much glue.

**angelofvengeance**

Yeah unfortunately for me I had a derpy moment and glued my Whirlwind Hyperios missile launcher in place. Which means that isn't coming off any time soon as it's resin

The launcher can still move up and down though. With the plasma pred I made a twist and lock mechanism to prevent the rest of the tank from falling off if picked up by the turret. But still allowed the turret to turn.

Anyways- his head needs to come up a bit as it looks lower than his shoulders!

The bits used are as follows:

Plastic PA libby head
TA Grey Knight torso
BA TA librarian shoulder pad (took AGES to get one)
GK Nemesis force rod
DA Veteran shoulder pad and standard toppers
DA Terminator Power sword (though I may swap for a gun- what do we think?let his mind do the shooting?)

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Really liking that conversion. The Libby head on its own looks a lot better than it does on the plastic Librarian model as a whole, I have never been a fan of that miniature.

I say gun, maybe a combi so he has one useful shot if he ever needs to use it?

**angelofvengeance**

Combi sounds good- only a tiny handful of points thankfully

Oh and there's this coming up...

**Thraxas Of Turai**

How many 40K armies do you run AoV? I hope the answer is:

ALL.

Have always fancied Necrons, must be so easy to paint up quickly and effectively. Just never been a fan of the plastic rods in the Gauss weapons, although I know they are not in any of the newer kits.

**Paradigm**

Not seen that Cron artwork before, at least in colour. Looks awesome!

**angelofvengeance**

@Para: The artwork is from the new Codex. Really nice stuff in there!

@Thraxas: I have 3 armies. Dark Angels, Dark Eldar, Necrons plus a joint Blood Angels army with my brother which is slowly taking shape. It's mostly 1st and 2nd Company stuff with Death Company.

**Azazelx**

Librarian conversion is looking good. Is the head from the recent-ish plastic one?

**angelofvengeance**

Yep.

**Edit: Is it me or are Grey Knight Paladin heads a good bit lower than their shoulders??

**Azazelx**

Let's not talk about skeletal proportion and space marines, let alone terminators...

**angelofvengeance**

Had a quickish game of Battlefleet Gothic and lost today. Got to try out the awesome new Starscapes mat today though which was awesome.

My fleet:

x2 Kill kroozers
x1 Terror ship
x5 Onslaught class
x2 Brute Ram Ships
x3 Ravager class

Brother's fleet
x1 Murder class
x1 Slaughter class
x1 Devastation class
x7 Idolator raiders
x3 Iconoclast destroyers

Had some pretty disappointing All Ahead Full rolls so I couldn't get close to his ships quick enough to put my Heavy Gunz to work. Managed to pull off a successful ram on his Murder class cruiser after he crippled one of my Kill Kroozers quite badly. Took 4 hull points off but had hoped to go out in a blaze of glory and destroy it. I've decided that Assault boats are the way to go at close quarters. They did a marvelous job of damaging my brother's ships. Anyways I conceded defeat (last pic) after my Kill Kroozers became blazing hulks drifting through space, and my Onslaughts were carved up by lance fire from the Idolators

Then, I subsequently ate the last Creme Egg for a measure of petty vengeance/great satisfaction. Here's some pics for you all.

**GrimDork**

Cadbury Creme Eggs? That's my favorite part of this update

The space battle looks pretty sweet too though
