That's one vote in the "for" collumn!

I know there's a lot of mixed reviews with those termies... but I think if run with a contemptor... and with a bit of tweaking of the limbs (and replacing the flamer with a useful weapon)... it could be a seriously impressive unit.

I love the termies. People are against them because theyre not the pre heresy people were expecting. They would fit very well with a contemptor, which i would LOVE to see you paint btw, would look sick pimped out in green n yeller

The flamer is the best bit though Gits!

You gonna get a Storm Eagle?

Yes, the flamer is cool looking, but it's the least useful combat option given the current metagame. That may change with 6th... we'll see. I'd rather have an assault cannon as I've always viewed that as the quintessential terminator heavy weapon.

What's a Storm Eagle? Is it the "fabled" SM flyer??

I say buy them and make them awesome as You usually do.
Assault cannon for the win!

Was found recently hidden on the FW site...

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/439735.page

I vote for, but I'm a huge FW fan.

I say a Contemptor would be a great addition to your army!

Those Pred's are fancy. Is that a Conversion Beamer turret?

The Terminators sadly only come with a Heavy flamer, which I don't see as useful as the Assault Cannon. You could purchase them, and throw on an Assault Cannon if that's what you fancy!

I think that the termies are ridiculously cool, but dont really like the plasma turret, i think that plasma turrets should be IG only, SM have termies and LR, and while IG has plenty of good things, the executioner turret should remain IG exlscusive, imho

As to the Storm Eagle...

Out of my price range and not fieldable (as it's FW & I assume IA rule set) in my local events... so no, won't be getting it. Neat though.

@D3: Yes, I was planning on doing my own conversions... both for an assault cannon and probably a cyclone missile launcher as well. The original cyclones would fit perfectly (both thematically and size-wise) on those termies... would just have to make a mold of one minus the terminator body somehow. Not an easy thing... but then I only need one of them.

Home now... just about to start on the apoth!

You could run it as a storm raven?

Would be interested to see the termis though. I'm not 100% on them yet.

Got this wonderful Sons of Medusa Apothecary by MissDee. Very cool interpretation. I see the tech marine back-pack as a "jaws-of-life" apparatus for getting injured marines out of wrecked vehicles and such.



I find myself with an embarrassment of riches when it comes to apothecaries now... Thanks Dee!

... and my own Apothecary... WIP #1.

I'll add another vote for those terminators... they are very sexy indeed. Even more so when running in the same list as contemptors... If I weren't getting rid of my marines, I'd be after a set of those! I'd be tempted to replace the heavy flamer with a Reaper autocannon from the chaos marines as (IIRC) Assault cannons weren't all that common during the crusade period. They could be run using the same stats though

I'd missed the Storm Eagle in N&R... damn, that looks so much better than the Stormraven!

Lush. The wip shot of your apothecary really shows off the pad work! I would totally vote for a contemptor, and if you're stuck for useful loadout I have a spare pair of contemptor TLAC arms, just shoot me a pm.

I also love the turtle termies. They rock my little, sad, retro loving world. The idea of a pred with c-beamer is fun, but why would you stick sponsons on it? It's just going to hide at the back of the field, surely. Plasma turret's fun but at that price I'd rather do a IG kitbash. I can testify to the brutal efficiency of executioners generally, though, I occasionally run them in mech-vet as my russ.

Re: the 2 squads, I think I'm on squad 2 for paint, squad 1 for insanely dynamic poses.

@ Gitz Np sweetie

Jaws of life = Win

Well, I *think* I've reserved the terminators and a relic contemptor with FW... though I'm wondering because Solar_lion said they wouldn't let him reserve the termies... so maybe I have to re-read the confirmation I got from FW. There were several things out of stock or that they couldn't reserve (the event only minis) in the letter, so I may have missed it... but I don't recall them mentioning the terminators.


@graven: Doing the should pads the old fashioned way... many layers of wet blending. Kind of fun actually. The figure will be mostly white, so I'm going to start with all the colors first, then touch up the white, then black lining, the reinforcing the white again in dilute layers which I hope will result in a nice, creamy smooth final effect. We'll see. I've only done white really well once before.

@Miss Dee: Very nicely done. Crisp and clean and I love the servo arm backpack. Makes him a specialist's specialist. Going to be a great addition to my Inquisitional forces!

Directly from FW email..."Unfortunately we are not able to reserve the Tartaros pattern Terminators. If possible we will try to add these to your order on the day which will add a further $$$$$$$$$ to the cost of your order. Please bring a copy of this order number with you to the event."

If only I was legendary! (starts cying in Root beer )

@ Solar_lion big huggles

opps I missed a bit or two

I will be interested to see how you are going to shade and highlight the white areas of your apoth

Me too!

@Miss Dee: Well, if you did... it isn't very obvious. I wouldn't worry about it.

Squad 1 and buy those termis Gits!

Dee..Thanks Darlin.. no worries I'm sure they will be available even if Git get his before me.

I love that tech backback.. was always one my favs.
Reminds me of the old tech priest whose helm looked like a mechanized boar. All very old school mech looking.

or holding chaos marines who somehow object to have vital organs removed!

SL - glass always full kinda guy

Spend your money Gits!
So the rest of us don't have to!

I wanna squad fer mah Night Lords I also gonna strip a techmarine .......... toooooooooooooooooo

OK, so... I'm painting and drinking margarita's with the missus after a long, hard week... not sure how far I'll get but so far I can still paint straight. Might be an update later.. might not. We'll see.

Enjoy (both painting and Margaritas)

Update for the evening... unfortunately all the tequila wore off. How disappointing.

Apothecary WIP2:



... and the Tycho conversion begins. That shoulder pad was bloody difficult to replace!

oo interesting in seeing tycho when hes all done, plus i'd love to see you work on those awsome FW termies!

Going back to the previous page - I think both assualt squads look great. Love those new terminators and if I was building a Imperial space marine army I'd definitely go for that new storm eagle (20 space marines - does that mean you can put 10 termies in it? - if so maybe I'll get one and convert it to chaos!) Hope to see everything at the FW open day tomorrow in Nottingham.

hmmm...I am actually suprised you haven't worked up the white armour given so much of the details you are working on are ontop of it (like the purity seals). Or are you done with the white panels? Looks only primed to me. Could be wrong, but I don't see any depth.

Is thier a strategic reason?
