Looking good

those termies are SO COOL!

Very nice!!

I am so excited for the actual HH stuff, FW continue to blow me away, they can do no wrong imo.

Thans guys

Vitruvian, I am so stoked as well, it's the highpoint of my 13 years in this hobby Sadly bank robbing is sounding more and more attractive.... XD

TDA what do you make of the New Forge World Catapharctii Termies?



My own take is that they are Eye-wateringly expensive.

Lets not the discuss the flying, ribbed, sex-toyesque Jet bikes.

The jetbikes are meh... The cataphractii termies are awesome! I need some!! And a fellblade, and tac upgrades and.... The list goes on XD

At least we'll be getting proper jetbike rules And knowing FW, they'll probably do another few types of jetbike, or at least i hope

Although the sad thing for me is that ive now had to give up the dream of a full true scale marine army I could do it, but FW are pumping out the awesome and it woluld take me decades to replicate

As regards TRU-SCALE have you considered simply buying the Knight Legs from Chapterhouse studios?

If you look at the thread I started it might be useful, and it is alot easier for Tru-scale marines than customising every Marine.

I hate the chapterhouse true scale kits, Hits_the_spot's 2nd gen kits were sooo much better but he got c&d'd. I will most likely extend the thighs of the fw stuff i buy, but thats all.

I have lost some of my fascination with true scale marines lately, it mainly comes down to the fact that it only ever works a 100% in a diorama, as you're able to control all the elements that underlines just how big a space marine is. But that's just me :p

In other news I've ordered the book today alongside a series o tanks and a few other goodies, so in a few weeks time there'll be a major update

Yeah ive had a similar revelation. Its mainly FWs fault of course, because of all the resin sex i would miss out on if i were to go TS. Plus you have the complications of vehicle size etc.

Im hoping that using elysians as the supporting army will make the marines look bigger. I also intend to put spacers in the thighs to make them higher.

im gonna keep my eyes peeled on this thread. Tda and new HH can only mean eyegasms as far as im concerned

I have to say, this is some of the most impressive light conversion work that I have seen in a long time, and I'm not just saying that because I'm danish myself.

Great job on everything man! Painting a yellow army is about as appealing to me as painting a white army, but you've done some awesome work...

PS: Slaanesh thinks "flying, ribbed, sex-toyesque Jet bikes" are quite the fashionable accessory.

Some people use that emoticon alot, but I really mean it. Just wow.

Yeah, I could go for true scaling some marines, but stuff like land raiders, bikes, land speeders etc... No way in hell, it would cost me too much sanity. I'd much rather scratch built titans than... Ohh wait, I already did that :p

And hopefully I'll be able to supply nerdgasms a plenty in the next few weeks ;p

Thanks man, always nice with positive feedback from a fellow Dane

Thanks man, I've played around with the thought of doing some pre-heresy WE or DG to try out some different approaches to white

And sadly Slaanesh and I do not agree, as it is Khorne is liking the boom boom and also whispers something about a red angel wreaking havoc And as for now, I'm more of a Khorne kinda guy :p

But I've contemplated doing some mk XIV jetbikes for my fists tho (the mark of jetbike flown by the master of the ravenwing model) as they are pretty cool imo :p

Why thank you my good sir I hope my future models won't disappoint

Bit slow, but I really like the look of the captain from your last picture post. How's it coming along?

D

Sadly it's not going so well as I haven't had time to work on the captain lately, I have however been working on a model for a contest



Update on this project will follow soon

The face is very lifelike, although the hair is a bit off, not sure why though

It's probably the flash Or the fact that I haven't dulled it down with a wash yet :p Don't know, but he still needs a few details done to him so hopefully his hair will work better when I'm done

just found this and think its amazing keep up the awesome.

Thanks man, I'll try my best

Quick update, since FW have decided to make a set of Catapractii terminators I have chosen to upgrade my own to Huscarls and will have to work out some fluff for why their armour looks different than regular Cataphractii terminator armour

Here's some pics, first picture is my newly named sergeant Montana :p



Then the Huscarls in artificed Cataphract suits as befitting for Dorns personal guard.



And a size comarison with one of the new FW termies (which I payed a small fortune for, but I just couldn't wait) he will have a few squads of buddies at some point in the future when I can afford more FW goodies.


A new picture of Dorn with a small bit of progress on the detailing.




That's it for this time

Great updates! I do love to see some resin goodness, especially when it is you making and painting them. If I was ever tempted to make an IF army (very tempted) you would be my first inspiration!

The anvil head looks perfect on the sergeant, not using any of his bionics though?

Thanks mate Anvil head?? do you mean the head on Sgt. Montana?? cus it's a FW head, from the tank commander set I don't own anything from anvil industries yet, but I've been very tempted by those bionics they do.

And expect a Spartan among other vehicles in the future (from the FW order), Dorn needs a proper ride

Oh so it is! Knew I recognized it from somewhere... I was thinking of these http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_66&product_id=178

Looking forward to the spartan!

Holy crap the face on that guy is so realistic!!!

Love the termies, and that Dorn is starting to look like it could be official FW

Thanks guys I've been toying with the idea of adding some anvil parts, but frankly I have been put off by the lack of detail on the heads, they're very doll like imo, but those bionics might end up in my bits collection at some point :p

Pre heresy stuff always gets a thumbs up from me I am currently dicing with an idea of doing a Pre Heresy World Eaters force myself picking up the HH part 1 Betrayal book for Christmas and seeing how a pre heresy force would be composed...

I love the stuff in this blog and are those Imperial Guard allies yours? as they look stunning

Thanks ArchaonSon

I have ordered the book and is very excited to read it myself :p

And no, the IG vehicles are a friend of mines The pic is from his summer visit, as he lives in Sweden. He goes under the name SDKFZ over at warseer if you want to see more of his stuff

My model took the victory in the competition

Here's the model finished with the last details:


It was a great competition with a lot of great entries, and to everyone who's following my thread here I can strongly recommend visiting TemplarsCrusade01's youtube channel as it's jam-packed with awesome (mostly horus heresy) content!

That face is so good I honestly thought it was a photo super imposed. Quite staggering work!
