those heads are the only things that look like the aperntice done them of scibor and not scibor themselves...

All of them, or the ones I list or didn´t list? I am keeping my fingers crossed they´ll look better in person

Which also requires some converting but should be doable.

And that's what I forgot to mention. It's the heads that look like they're snarling that throw off the theme. But yeah, those heads will work I believe. But so long as you like them, that's what matters. Not my opinion haha.

Hmm, looks like some epic landraiders are being chopped for potential track units? I whole-heartedly approve of such shenanigans

Another potential source for cyclone-type launchers is aircraft rocket packs.

if wishes were fish... sorry to bust your bubble but they all are too cartoonish for me... this might change if you come up with either a good paint scheme or some cool ideas how to grim darken them...the bodies of the scibor nature are awsome... anyone that uses that gets some extra points on any table just for fielding them!

Servitors to my Enginseers....I got 17 of the buggers and can only use 10 max. Already in the process of converting 6 of them into Plasma Cannon Armed Servitors.

Yeah but I am not using the bodies *sniff*

well yes, but at least you use them shoulderpads... thats spicing them up a treat...

Yarp. Need to file down some shoulders though most likely, ah well it is all for the greater go....Emperor. Sorry Shrike I didnt mean to sounds like a Tau...dont shoot me!

you could have made it say "for the greater go-d emperor of man"

Dark Angel Termies dont get a Land Raider as a transport option....

Making me sad (Also my Land Raider Crusader, Chaplain and Terminator Squad arrived in ze mail)

stuff the rules an since you made up your own chapter anything goes...what a cool sight to behold...a sqaud of terminators emerging from their landraider...couldn´t be more fitting...if you ask me...

also will post in a minute some mockups for the cyclone ML...

Well I can still get them a Land Raider...only it will cost me a Heavy Support slot as opposed to the regular Codex where it can be picked as a Squad Transport...

Looking forward to it Vik

Started assembling my Land Raider, and been looking around for a possible logo to use for my Chapter. Easier said then done, especially with my limited painting skills. But I am going to give it a go damnit!

Just....not this weekend as I am totally taking it off to do other stuff. Away from work most of next week though so Ill get some stuff done.

The Bits order I placed almost a month ago still hasn't arrived, making it doubtful I will ever order from that company again. I dont care how you spin it, if the stuff is in stock when the order is placed it does should not take a month before you even ship it. Which it still hasn't according to the site. Bah.

that sounds gakky...which site was that again?

as for the chapter symbol...they are named "emperor´s pride"...any thing else in the direction so that i could assist you with a symbol?

@Vik - http://bitspudlo.com/ - Based in Poland, ran by two Wargamers who obviously are in no rush. Also...thanks for breaking up my posts

I did come up with a color scheme for the Emperor's Pride which I think will work out alright. Ive been wanting to use the Khaki color for a while now so I figure the scheme will be something like the one depicted below.



Gray base color, Khaki covering and either Gold or Yellow for highlights and special bits.



Those bits that are yet to come in / be sent are the ones containing my Dwarf parts in order for me to create more Squats, so I am more than a bit miffed there does not seem to be any change on that front.

But alright then.... I did make some Servitors for my Enginseer. At the moment I made 6 Servitors armed with Plasma Cannons, I have another 1 with a Barrel on top to serve as a regular servitor. I am scrounging through my bit box in order to outfit the others as well. Of course I am aware that I can only have two Servitors armed with weaponry in a group of five....so I guess I got two spares.



Also reading up on Monkeytroll's Cybork's I noticed one grot that gave me a related idea. Something which should be easily doable with the addition of a few bits from the Imperial Guard etc. So I am using these as a base for any and all of my servitors, most of which have the function to assist the Enginseer in repairs to vehicles and such.

Great use of those epic Landraiders, That Monkeytroll , has enough insperation for us all.

Wall-E landraider servitors FTW

those plasma tracked guns look very cool, care for a scaleshot with a squat?

the scheme for termies looks quite stylish... tho i have to say i can´t quite recognize the khaki... i thought that khaki would be more greenish...well i have to geuss again it seems...golden details sound very good!

here are some pics ißve found that could be altered to fit the lion scheme of the marines chapter:

THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOO!

Or perhaps:

How is a Judge helm related to Lions?

It's a Brit-Cit Judge, big stylised lion on the front there? A quick search didn't get me a good pic of the shoulder pad, so....

I am glad you told me it was supposed to be a lion.... Because I totally didn't see it ^^

Yeah, I guess it's not the best, I already knew what it was so...

I'll try and find a shoulder pad, they were better iirc

"Most notably, khaki was used by the British Army in India beginning in 1848."

Vik....you Disappoint me, Sir.

...and reading on, I find the greenish reference mentioned as well....Sowwy!

Pfft, slightly better image of a pad.



Not impressed that an image search for Brit-Cit Judge gives me pages of Simon Cowell/Cheryl Cole pics

Heh. And with that shoulderpad I am reminded of the ones I ordered from Scibor

Your wish...

I REALLY LIKE THIS PAINT SCHEME!!! I think it REALLY fits your theme well. And if you add fur, say cloaks or around the neck or joints or somehting somewhere, I'd do it in the dark brown that is typical of a lions mane.

EXCELLENT SIR, JUST EXCELLENT.

second the fur suggestion...this you have to do!!! scale looks very good, actually but i would call it differnetly than a servitor... from my point of view it looks more like:



also while looking for the correct image i found this here:



cool huh?

about your symbol...if you want help with that i am game to make some real icons... the ones i searched and presented here were selected for an easy paintjob... a symbol after all should be also able to be done on a shoulderpad and thus as simple as it can be...

at monkey...didn´t know there were brit judges as well...i only ever before the movie heard of judge dredd by a tv magazine about the beginnings of comicdom...and a feature about heavy metal or rather metal hurlant showed some pics of the street judge and i got hooked up... this will be of course a centre of inspiration once i get to make the army for my son...he gets an arbites crew^^, some minis are already there )


oh and i uploaded the promised scaleshot for my scratchbuilt attempts for some cyclone ML...



hope they help...

though it is a cool symbol...
