<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Windrider host."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/73.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Windrider host. 40k after about ten years off. I decided to do something that I wanted to do years ago but did not have enough time or money by creating a Windrider host. Needless to say I am sick of painting jetbikes. I based all the bikes and grav tanks/flyers on spring bases (photos below). Including the wraithknight, wraithlord, and infantry there are only 19 models on foot. The only thing that I have waiting to be painted is one last wave serpent.

My converted autarch.

A wave serpent with the spring base shown.

You will notice that the spring bases blend into the background.

I put them on the spring bases to ensure that i do not have to worry about broken bases quite as much. They tend to bounce instead of break.
Hope you like.

Love the springy bases. Flight stems are a major PITA, you way looks a lot better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712385.page GMT Re:Windrider host.
I have to agree, I love the spring bases and something about not being on the big clear bases just makes them look that much better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712472.page GMT Windrider host.
That's a serious force you've assembled.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712485.page GMT Windrider host. atm as it appears 49 is my limit for interest.

Little odd to see the Saim-Hann serpents on a non-red paint job.

When I started playing that symbol was for the Void Dragons (going back in the way back machine here) and did not have a color scheme. Personally I hate paint red so blue it was.

I'm not a fan of the spring bases myself (would have preferred a simple black rod into a normal base).

The springs evolved from a single black rod. I tried that approach years ago and ended up either bending the rod or breaking the plastic. This way I accept some movement and still support the model.
Again thanks for the comps.

I also switched from the flyer bases a long time ago, no clue why but they are brittle. I go with the wire or even a large bolt and nut glued in if it is a large tank.
In any case, love the paint job, hope to see them in action.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712538.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693737/8712538.page GMT Re:Windrider host.

That is a massive host! Are we looking at 1850 points? More?

Thanks for the comps.
Last I added it up I could field just shy of 2500 points as modeled. That was including the unfinished wave serpent.
