DaPheel Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Another one of my w.i.p. - a Land Raider Ares (insert pretentious name). I've got a sgt. Chronus model unbuilt and i was contemplating converting him to use as a tank commander for the top, as well as some greenstuff scrolling down the L.H.S. of the top and borders on the plates with the statues. What do you peeps think? any other ideas? Cheers! http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/aresf.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/aresl.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/aresr.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166680-land-raider-ares/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What did you use for the statues, may I ask? Those are utter brilliance! The whole model is class, but the little touches like those make it all effortlessly good.

Mal Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Its a nice conversion. I've always been dubious about pouring money into a unit that I cannot use without my opponentns permission... and the Ares is one BEAST of a unit. I hope you play with some nice gamers...

DaPheel Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 *to Paladin* The statues are from the warhammer chapel kit - you get 4 different ones as optional parts as well as a really cool clock, i can't wait to find a use for it (cackle) *to Mal* To be honest i don't plan on fielding it often, i just had to build one, but the people i game with would quite happily let me use it.

theredcorsair Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Fantastic, but for a second I thought it was DA and for some reason there was BT on it. LOL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166680-land-raider-ares/#findComment-1963233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Cyanide Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I love these things! Nothing like an AV 14 Vindicator to ruin someone's day! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166680-land-raider-ares/#findComment-1963443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle Captin Torodin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Fantastic, but for a second I thought it was DA and for some reason there was BT on it. LOL you may have been thinking of the example on the games workshop website before they changed it, the Aries pattern land raider had been given a dark angels paint job Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166680-land-raider-ares/#findComment-1963598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messanger of Death Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Now I want one. Going to be even harder to resist once you have the whole thing painted up. I really like the use of little statues, very clever and considered the idea stolen. Fantastic, but for a second I thought it was DA and for some reason there was BT on it. The Ares was originally built by the Dark Angels due to heavy losses from street fighting if I remember correctly from the PDF. However there was no rule to say that it must be used by Dark Angels. Besides the Crusader STC was discovered by the Black Templars so its only fair lolz.
