Hey all,

This is an army I did for a buddy to play at ATC on Saturday! Just something fun and thematic, with a comic too.

The nose of the plane is a drop pod, the Termies are Arjac, Logan, and Wolf Guard. The Inquisitor with Runefang is a Rune Priest. The rest is fairly straightforward.

I hope you enjoy, and until next time.

Thanks for looking!

I like the concept and the use of all the different parts but the metallics on the infantry are lost in the colour of the clothing, and the OSL just looks like a spillage of blue paint.
I really, really like the Wright Brothers inspired Vendettas though!

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

Love the "drop pod" and the idea behind the army, though not sold on some of the conversions or the style of painting on some of the models (but each to their own - I know you can put out some kick ass paint jobs on an entire army faster than I can slop paint on a single model so it is just taste rather than skill in this case ).

Really nice painting and conversions. The mixture of technology and wood is cool and unique. Some pretty amazing work here!

That is utterly fantastic! I especially love the manticores- you've really reimagined them into something that screams steampunk! Using more old-style bombs instead of missiles was inspired.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I should have mentioned before, these are the inspiration for the infantry:





The monotone scheme is intentional, to look antique. In fact I used the same highlight color for every color. No they aren't the usual "pick two complimentary colors" and that's the point.

This army,,,the theme and detail is awesome....I love a well done themed army. I can not help but chuckle at the flag though,,,,,,33rd eh? ,,,,that must be a more popular number than I thought.

How did you do the wood grain? as I tried that on my lasguns but it did not look right at all.

love the art/mini story on the box,,,,is that a crashed B17?

33 is the magic number!

And yes it is a modified b17. Good eye!

The wood grain was pretty well figured out by the time I finished this army:

So I can do it as second nature now. Basically just streaks of different colors but the trick is to start with a lighter basecoat. Don't start with something really dark.

If you dont mind sharing, what Empire bits did you use? Are they all Greatswords? Where did the kneeling legs come from? I did a Genswick army a while back and wanted to do an Empire themed IG army but didn't think it would be possible. You did a great job on these guys.

Brilliant mix of models and some really interesting combinations.

This is why I love going to larger events. It is there you get to see the most extreme and wild looking armies. The conversion work is immense and the entire army furthers why I love the 40K genre. You can throw in so much variety and it will fit. It is an army that looks fantastic and likely plays very well on the table top.

Question: Is the separated front end of the aircraft used as a Drop Pod? Game wise, it looks like Arjac coming out with some buddies to wreak havoc.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby.

This is phenomenal. Really awesome job. The vignette is cool, the conversions are great, the paint job is stupdendous, and that case is friggin awesome as both a case and diorama (though i'm going out on a limb and assuming you can't actually use it for transport ? Not that fact would lessen the cool factor one bit).

If i have one constructive criticism (and literally, it's the one thing i could find)... the OSL on the inquisitor's power sword could use a little sprucing up. It's not bad, not by a long shot, but it's a little beneath the quality of the rest of the paint job on the entire diorama.

Amazing work. Seriously.
