The brown rivets you make are awesome! How you do them? What do you use? Sorry if someone already asked.

The rivets are from a hobby supplier called Tichy Train Group: http://www.tichytraingroup.com/index.php?page=view_category.php&category=NBW+%26+Rivets&offset=0

The rivets come in all sizes but I mostly used the 0.35. 0.40, and 0.50 inch diameter rivets.

It's going to be a surprise

Basically the story behind it is that after the end of the Horus Heresy as the Imperium begins to rebuild, Roboute Guilliman requests that the Adeptus Mechanicus update the Fellblade design to more of a support role as they are becoming too slow and cumbersome for his Legion to use properly. This Mark II Fellblade will incorporate many of the new materials and technology already developed for the MkII Land Raider but will carry much more firepower then its predecessor....

How's that for a teaser

The suspence is killing me........

You know, out of all of things I have to look forward to in December (winter vacation, Christmas, my birthday, etc) this thread is actually one of my most looked-forward-to things. Ever.

Can we please have another teaser about the Ultramarine Fellblade, I'm planning on making 1 with however you arm yours.

What could possibly make a Bloodthirster crap his armour? How about a MKII GREY KNIGHTS FELLBLADE!

Is that enough of a teaser?

If the other pictures are any indication of what it will look like I can safely say I WANT ONE!

I take it we can expect some new turrets then? Maybe sleeker with less rivets? Kind of along the same lines as your predator turret?

How about quad mounted artillery cannons in one huge turret....

Maybe....

Those are some big tanks...

I like it.

Yes. Yes indeed.

MOARRRRR UPDATES !!!!!!! and yeah that would be helpfull

Time is a funny thing, you think you have plenty of it but when you start to use it the minutes quickly run out. For those of you following this thread this has been the case for a very long time, but no longer. Finally, after many months away and repeated broken promises of "I'll get to it next month" the moment you've been waiting for is here.

I HAVE UPDATES!!!

Unfortunately it's not about the Dark Angel Fellblade, but I do have a few new surprises. The first is I've gone back and fixed up the Widowmaker Cannon (it was a little crooked):



I know, boring we've seen that before. But now it has a big brother. Presenting the Kingslayer Cannon:





As you can see this is one big gun with a huge suppressor on it. This will soon be available both as a dual cannon set and as coaxial weapon.

But there's more....

One of the items people have been waiting for is a heavy laser cannon. Well your wait is almost over for here is the Sunfire Laser Cannon:





Here they are all together:



Now I wanted to come up with a few new accessories to go with the DA Fellblade as I pictured it as a plasma powered engine of death. That means the fuel tanks are now obsolete and would need something to take their place. Plus my current Tank Engines would also need upgrading. While I have not started on the latter the former is well underway, but still a WIP. I present to you the Tank Dynamo:





Next week will also bring another treat. I will begin commission work on a Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons Falchion. What's a Falchion you say? It's the Space Marine equivalent of the Shadowsword.

As always, stay tuned....

Will parts make it on to your ebay store?

johnstewartjohn wrote:Will parts make it on to your ebay store?

Indeed Everything pictured will be up before the end of the year.

Updates! I was beginning to think you had fallen into a deep hole and got stuck there.

The new cannons look superb, very tempting as I have a bane blade just sitting around waiting to be made. However, I am also collecting pre-heresy thousand sons, if you ended up with some bits for the commission that you could cast, I would be most interested!

Nice to have my favorite tank builder back from the depths!

Cain

Sweet, as usual the plasticard work is great! I love how well everything you make seems to "fit" intrinsically.

Oh I've been very busy Unfortunately my commissions have kept me away from my behemoth babies, but I have set aside some time as I've missed them so.

The Thousand Sons Falchion will be a scratch build so I don't have any plans to cast the parts but if I come up with a cool new idea it will definitely make it into my store

I'm looking forward to it, it's going to be a fun build!

love the work here, its fantastic! i have a question, is all of the parts on ebay for superheavy tanks or is there some normal tank sized parts?

Rogue Wolves wrote:love the work here, its fantastic! i have a question, is all of the parts on ebay for superheavy tanks or is there some normal tank sized parts?

Well the heavy turret, larger cannons, and Pattern 1.0 tank treads are geared towards a super-heavy sized tank, but the Liberator Turret and Sponsons along with the Pattern 0 and 00 tank treads, Light Turret, and all the guns that go with them can be used on either the big or normal sized tanks

Nice work man, glad to see this thread unearthed, keep it up!

2 q's what sized tanks are the medium and heavy turrets for? and do you have a pic of the liberator turret on a russ?

Huzzah, you're back!

Aha. I've been seriously considering getting some of those, but because TTG inexplicably have no pictures on their site (that i could find, anyway) I wasn't sure about placing an order. Nice to see them in action, so to speak, they look like a good investment. I take it you'd recommend them?

Also: cool tanks.

If you look at the first two tanks in this thread, the Sanctimonia Cruoris and the Iron Breaker, you can get an idea of the Heavy and Medium Turret size. I don't have a pic of the Liberator Turret on a Leman Russ (although it will fit) but I do have one of it on a Rhino chassis:

If you are doing SM power armor I'd recommend the 0.030 to 0.035 size, for SM vehicles 0.035 to 0.040, for IG vehicles 0.040 to 0.050.

Kingslayer = Hell yes.
