Yes, it will be awhile before I can get to making a mini too, I'm afraid. But I am actively thinking about ideas.

Viktor von Domm wrote:lol...shrike i think that is a perfect way^^ but hey... if you are then a riveteer, your threads will be "exalted" too^^

as a matter of fact... about the business of riveting... today marked a new era of riveting... now i have masterd shaso´s aproved and tested to perfection methode of glueriveting!!!

i hereby present to you the first chapel of the church of rivbeting:

(note it is still majorly in WIP stages but the general idea and direction is showing through....)

and as it is already st. valentines day in some parts of the earth...my wife and me exchanged some valentines presents... i got a box of pyramid cake pieces...and some tupperwear small boxes...the initial one was also filled with smarties...and after the kids and us emptied the sweets into our bellies this slogan^^ was found:

which reads in denglish (german/english mix) "I niet you" a pun as it could be read i need you...but the pun lies on the NIETE= Rivets... so i guess my wife accepts my "interest" in rivtes^^



and because as i like to bring forth some hints and tips for making rivtes for new possible rivetsaddicted... i hereby show a bit of my trade... i present...the rivetmaker:


just an xacto knife handle with a needle instead of a knife... not really rocket science, but someone has to think about tools and i do that from time to time...and the thingy works like a charm when it comes to my cardboard rivets...

cheers, vik

What will the overall architecture of this Steam church be? will it be a simple Tudor "timberframe made in steels" or will it be Imperial Gothic (Imperial City series)
and will you include 'steam organ' too?

church affilations? is it belongs to Ecclessiarchy or Admech?

I can't quite decide between these two:



I'm leaning towards the second one, with a hood pulled up, part-way hiding it. Like Death....

I would go the second as well, not that I don't like the first one I just think for a sniper it would work better …….. and the hood pulled up but not covering the sculpt … obviously

Well, thinking of my heavily-augmented space marine commander, which do you think?

I think the ork has more character, but the raven guard is my main army.

I like the second one as well, providing it has a hood... also the spiked helmet is reminiscent of... you know, the scuffle between us 70 years back ^^

Wow, I am going to have to give some serious thought to my Rivet-Ar. I can honestly say i am at a loss. I have only ever played Chaos. Any ideas guys?

Thanks for the input LDD and Shrike! I think I'll go that way. And I OBVIOUSLY won't cover up too much of the sculpt! When done I might have it on my webstore as an example of a possible conversion...maybe.

As for the er..."scuffle", I know, but it seams to be a popular theme for conversions, (especially for Nurgle) and I thought I'd just put it out there for that purpose...They will hopefully be available on my webstore in the "not too far flung" future.

And @ Max, what's wrong with chaos? Make a Chaos Enginseer!

Mine was either an Ork or a chaos renegade, so go with it ….. it's all good

Wow, must have missed a few days, just had to sift through pages of stuff to get here

Umm, damn, already forgotten what I've seen. Let's see...a land raider, steampunky and lego-y (it is so a word). Very cool.

Er, a teddy bear? No, that's not right....a church - always get those two confused Church is looking sweet so far. Now you need to get Dave and Galorn to cast up some wall pieces to make a cathedral

Mech arm and body, they were cool, very nice. Not convinced by those legs with it though, I too think tracks would be a better option for him. I actually thought he was going to get those tracks you made...which were sweet as. They were great man

That's all I can remember officer, it was all a bit of a blur really..


As for being offered the 'Copper Rivet', what can I say.
It's tempting to qoute Marx (Groucho, not Karl), but seeing as it's a fine band of Dakkanauts extending the invitation, how can I refuse.

Although, as for being extraordinary, I think orky riveting is more along the lines of 'like wot dey does, only 'arder an' ruffer'

so first things first... about the church... lone cat:

the organ idea... i think that is a sweet idea... i will try to come up with a try-it piece for that one... as for the church... it is not associated in any kind to the GW warhammer universe for my part... it more lends some ideas and items from this world... but i see it way more generic... steampowered and grimy and bulky constructions and their constructionworkers that form a cargocult society around the craft of riveting metalworks... like the freemasons...but not with the evil scheming behin it all... just building things for a better world... thats the general feel behind the whole thing...at least on my part... i bet there is lots of variaty for all members...each has his own vision of the riveteers...

to be honest i havent decided yet if the exterior of the church will ever be seen at all... for now it rolls as a sort of cellar chuzrch in my mind... maybe i will construct something around the current structure... it is rather a dio for me than a true terrain piece...

at dave... reading all your heated up reactions... mate i want to buy you a beer and have that discussion anew... that one is sucha depressing theme it is best done not being sober too much...! i meet you at each part of your discription of your position! thank goods there are honest peeps out there to show there are real persons still alive...one day everything will be washed away is what i am hopeing for...

at ovion...well that tarantulla walker...yep that would make an excellent titan class walker... lots of firepower to be carried on that one...and i have just looked up...you are all in for the sleekness of elves and fishes^^ (just joking here^^) which meens rivets would be pretty unused on these...th i can´t help but think that a nice devilfish would look million times better with a decent riveting pattern over the hide...^^

at shrike... well i had some rather disturbing research moments after trying to figure out who´s that new babyface you are wearing... urgh...well so be it^^ personally i am not that into any rules or codecies of GW so i can´t really tell what has made him in to this most hated/loved person here... but so be it...again..^^

as for your idea to convert a ravenguard... the only thing i could perhaps live with would be a termy... witha cadian head... all converted to a look like he would be a heavy lifter... after all a termy mini has pistons to be seen and all that techstuff... the tactical marine armor looks too streamlined to actually be a convincing riveteer... by personal taste here tho... as for the ork...well that is a very good mockup you showed and i think it would be great that way... adds color to the league... and even tho LDD also makes a unique brainy ork... i think yours could be differently different to his...

at jake...er...rivet-ars...wasn´t that even affected by the swear filter???°.° ^^

well i like your sniper idea for a rivet-ar character... this is a very nice one...i think the best wouold be to use the first choice head and get rid for that one of the pickelhauben look... hood sounds great... like an eldar ranger then^^ do him eiter kneeling or maybe even in a scenic bigger base...

at max... why not chaos... of course it is an odd choice liek going ork but hoenstly... it is a society of riveters that have the common link of making crafted items held together by rivets... so i wouldn´t judge you for using a costy forgeworld mini to be converted into a riveteer^^... do as you seem fitting... you all are in the leage because you already showed the right kind of spirit^^ ...see? instant win^^

at monkey...glad you could squeeze your memebrship into your tight schedule^^ yep... this thread tends to grow like weeds^^ but it blooms some very beasutifal petals from now and then^^

oh and as for weeds... if you had refused...well we would have pestered you quite hard^^...

Who said anything about using a costly anyones model....


I would have to GS it. Can't go letting you guys show me up completely on the conversion skills, can I. I am the Primarch of my own forgeworld afterall......

Can't wait to see what you have in mind!

Not sure about Guard, was thinking maybe catachan. But I like traitor guard....


Depends on what I think my very limited GS Skills are up for. and it will be at least a month before I start work on it anyway.....

Which quote would that be?

vik- I'll go for the ork, then ^^
and mine I feel will be less "put that there" and more "I'll put that there" (AKA more hands-on).

so guys, it seems we are all making models for the league, then.
what will Mr von Domm be doing then for his model?
I rather fancy a cane/monocle/pocket watch/tailcoat kind of theme- after all, he will be the lord of rivets ^^

I do hope you are joking....or at least this is just what we are telling the non-riveters...

How are we going to take over and rivet the world unless there is scheming!

now that is promising...


and indeed scibor has some amazingly nice and (here we are again) costly bitz floundering in their shops^^

also i think not every gurdsman is a really strong believer.. heck loyol or renegade...most chaps are just inside a regiment and not by their own choice... from cradel to the grave others made those choices 99% of the time...

at shrike... yesss! another ork... but you should consider making a bowler hat then from the tophat... that would swing more to the ideas of a hands-on ork...and one minor suggestion... a bit brigher should that fella then look...

as for my own mini... would love to do that look...but currently my skills prevent me from achiveing that outfit...welll i could try to make a tophat at least with GS... after that all bets are off^^

Aw, I like my ork's top hat! I could add scuffs to make it look less formal and posh?
Hey, if Slash can pull it off, why can't my ork? ^^

Right, I was just joking! Just wanted to add some humor into the thread! There has been no talk of "other things"!

yeah... that last 50 pages got a lil sour on times... a bit of a haha was much needed....


hahahaha.......haha....ha...*cough* ...ha...

No talk whatsoever of other things. BTW, the thing you asked me for for the thing so you can get the other thing from you know who... I got it....

ah... good to know... thanks...er...i think...

and as I said, inspiration ^^ I know you too well to expect you to just go and buy one
I think the "slash" look was what GW was going for when they made the base model of the ork- long black hair (in the picture), top hat, guitar...

What thing are you referring to ? That thing or the other thing ? I was thinking can you tell me what thing actually stands for as I don't have a friggin clue what the hell thing is ……. or do you mean that the Rivet league is actually a secret society with plans of global domination dammmmm Sorry did it again, it's not really honestly
