Stella Cadente Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I was tempted to get one of those basing kits, BUT then I walked outside and saw pretty much everything in it, in the garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 lol. jamie it is good to keep your eyes open when your are out and about for stuff you can use for your basing needs. little plants that you can then spray with 3M spray mount so they dont deteriorate or little twigs and pieces of stone, and of course, sand from the beach!. thing is for convenience it is easier to go down the GW route and if anyones interested i can post up pics of the contents of some of the little tubs. in one of them you get lots of resin basing extras! 2 of each and i think there are like 86 in total.

Brother Bohemund Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You have random gw bits in your garden. :) Â No but seriously the resin part have realy disapointed me. Don't get me wrong there are a few really cool things in there but most of it is just really random gw bits on gw sand and than cast into resin. If they at least had bothered to make it look somewhat naturall but all those helmets just are upright and some of the bits are simply stupid. I mean who want's to put his minis on a base with a grenade lying just in front of his feet. But the edged brass that comes it is what is really cool and I was thinking of buying another one simply to get a second sheet. Â So really I have mixed feelings but overal I must say its a good set.

kanan Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 there will be other themed basing kits coming soon Brother Bohemund, you can be sure of that. anyways what are you using for your bases at the moment??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Bohemund Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm using really everything I can lay my hands on :tu: From the gw basing materials (I live in a flat, sadly in a city without a beach ;) ) to sprue, left over bits, stuff I see at my local hobby store or cork from whine bottles. The only thing I try not to use is things that could rot or decay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 i know what you mean as i live in a flat in the town so no beaches ~sad face~ but i goto cornwall alot and the beaches there are fabtastic! so ill take an empty tub with me when i go next time. anyways you ever thought of using lichen or underbrush from model railway accessories? ill post up a pic of what i mean.

Brother Bohemund Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 not on bases, but I have used it for fantasy terraine. It looks really nice and I could imagine using ist for basing I just never have had a army themed in such a way. Best thing to glue it with is pva preferably quick-drying because it is a bit springy and you might have to hold it in place until it has setteled a bit. The only problem is that I have found it to dry up a bit with time. So enough thread hijacking :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 ok heres what i plan on putting on my bases as i am making a themed gaming table. it will have lots of lush vegetation and hills with some rock formations and some ruined buildings. theres will be a corner, around a 1/4 that will gradually become desert. this company also makes a special glue for gluing foliage to plastic, wood ect.

Kastor Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 AH HAH! i found ya!  and i realised ive actually read up on this thread a fair few times too :D Im here at work with Vhizsi  aaaannnd on topic: i noticed you put a "silencer" on one of your marines. im doing that too for my chaos. but im going all out on customisation of weapons... as in all weapons count as bolters but they are all modified i added an extended clip to one, shortened its chassis, the Suppressor and so on.... i want to play Call of Duty 4 now :D i also lengthened the chassis on another and added the suppressor and a long-rifle scope using two normal space marine scopes.  so how many points do you have of DAs now? and come to think of it, how long have you been collecting/playing? and when are ya getting me that Baneblade? :P hehehehe just kidding. ill add you as a friend.. and My Thread is the only one in my profile "Sairus' Neo Imperial Conglomerate" or some such thing. i want to see your Vets Completed too!  you get a Purity Seal!

kanan Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 hello everyone, i hope you all had a good xmas and new years. well i have started work on some of my 2nd Company. heres a few pics of two speeders which will be converted to my own Tsunami variants (twin heavy bolters & nose mounted assault cannon or multi-melta) i will be working on these on and off tonight while i get some Grey Knight Terminators painted as well. anyways thats all for now. apologies for it being a small update. more will follow soon. peace  http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t229/zrolimit88/DSC03497.jpg  http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t229/zrolimit88/DSC03498.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Eagle Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi Kanan, Â First of all, i feel kind of dumb giving you the advice to start a wip-thread, but hey....in my defence there are many threads to keep track of... Especially with you DA-people. You guys are a creative lot and there seem to be many DA-players in the pc&a aspect of the hobby. :D Â Oh well, i must say, it sure looks like you have a lot of fun converting and comming up with new sollutions. I really like the speeders. Didn't think the predator sponsons would fit so well, but they really seem to work. If possible, if it's not too much work, i'd like some more photos of those from diffrent angels (like from above and from the rear and so forth). Because i might just use that myself since i've been thinking of maybe going the da-route as far as rules go with my own marines. I belive that those sponsons might be very fitting for a Sammael speeder. Â Keep up the good work, Â Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Desert Eagle i do not mind at all gettting some pics up. i am actually uploading them to photo bucket now. with regards to my Tsunami variants i could also take some tutorial type pics of the two speeders i was building which are still only partly assembled now. ie of how i got the sponsons to fit so well ect. there was a little cutting with a scalpel involved and the use of epoxy putty as a filler. if that is what you would also like to see then let me know as i can take pics later on tonight as i build the speeders. they got sidelined while i have been playing C&C3 and other such distracting stuff lol.

kanan Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 oh i made a variant sniper rifle. it is supposed to be based on the basic bolter but modified with a longer higher grade material barrel which is also fitted with a suppressor. it has a 7 round magazine and is semi-automatic fire capability. the weapon comes with a standard marine scope which also has a night vision and electromag modes. i assume that in the dark a tyranid doesnt betray a heat signiture therefore an electromagnetic mode would prove useful for detecting them. oh it is the one on the bottom left. the bottom right weapon is a prototype combat shotgun for use by marines. it is fully automatic and fires 3 types of round. penetrator rounds which are rocket assisted like a bolter round with an armour piercing tip. scatter shot which is a standard scatter type shotgun round but instead of pellets uses tiny darts with a mono-filament umbrella at one end. great for shredding organic targets. and lastly hell blight rounds which are solid shot rocket assisted rounds that have been blessed and consecrated for use against the forces of chaos. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t229/zrolimit88/DSC03526.jpg enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Bohemund Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 The speeders look mighty fine. As what are you going to use them game wise? also nice conversions on the bolters. keep it coming :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Stella Cadente, glad you liked my weapon conversions. are you still looking to sell your Dark Angels as there maybe someone on here who would like to buy them from you. not sure how you would go about it as you do not want to incur the wrath of the Holy Inquisition lol. Â Brother Bohemund, well for a game which involves a player you dont know and who isnt how shall i say brave or up for the challenge then use them as a standard land speeder tornado with the appropriate weapon configuration ie heavy bolter or multi-melta and assault cannon or Heavy Flamer. but in a friendly game with a player who is up for it then use them as 2X heavy bolters (NOT twin linked) and an assault cannon though some of my variants carry a nose mounted multi-melta. also glad you liked my variant bolters ~smiles~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Eagle Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yeah, thanks mate. As i said, should i go the da-route there is a very high probability i'll use those for sammaels speeder in some sort of way, i like them. The shot from above kind of gives the speeder the shape of an A-wing, doesn't it? Maybe the thrusters could be re-fitted right behind the heavy bolters? And by all means, i'll gladly have a look at how you work out the fit. Â Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
