Brother Morgan Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Some more progress on the Shrine of Aquila Land Raider: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110327_33.jpg This front angle shot shows the extra side armour I have gone with. I am trying to make it a bit like a phoenix, the imperial eagle rising from the flames. I just need to complete the other side armour now (and the sides will then be complete). http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110327_32.jpg This front on shot shows the door placement - rather than 1 ramp, the terminators can leave via either door. To finish off the front, I plan on making flames around and underneath the eagle's head and on the inside of the track out of plasticard and adding some rivets around the top of the eagle's wing (the white plasticard). http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110327_35.jpg A plan view. I can imagine the space marines using the imperial eagle as a battering ram, before disgorging all of the terminators that were protected within to ram (sorry about the pun!) home their advantage. What side sponson weapons do you think this land raider should have? I need to add some engine fan/grill at the bottom (where the white plasticard is) to finish the top. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110327_34.jpg Finally, the rear view. I need to use some more milliput to smooth out the joints. I also plan to build a grill/vent in the large section at the top (can be seen underneath the heavy bolter turret). 3 or 4 more hours and this tank should be finished. Regards, Brother Morgan.

Nistro Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 sorry but i need to be picky, i think some of these would look alot better if there weren't as many skulls all over them i jsut dont see marines having that many sorry. but other than that one point i love these :lol: also please remember opinions are like :cusss everyone has one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/123132-my-land-raider-variants-pv/page/4/#findComment-2703044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The two blocks at the front for the wings seem a little too big to me. Otherwise, it seems to be coming along nicely.

Brother Morgan Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Finally finished my Imperial Eagle Ram! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_41.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_40.jpg Flame effects finished and Hexagonal bolts fitted (to blend in with the sculpted bolts on the Shrine of Aquila) http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_42.jpg The back has been finished. I realised that I didn't take a final shot of the back end of my Hellound variant with dials, levers and hose connectors: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_37.jpg This shot shows the hellhound without its Promethium tank. To continue with the skulls, I thought I would use this as a fuel pipe holder: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_39.jpg With regards to an earlier question from Tathion, Here are a couple of shots of my 9 "Uglies": http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_20.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_21.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/April_22.jpg As I have a week off work this week, I am making progress on my next ugly, A Land Raider with Thunder fire sponsons. I'll take some pictures tomorrow to show the progress being made. Any comments?

Brother Morgan Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Onto the next Land Raider: A Thunderfire cannon sponsons, Heavy artillery affair. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_6.jpg This shows the Imperial Eagle on each Land Raider track with my now preferred wrap around (WW1) style. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_7.jpg The almost complete Thunderfire Cannon sponsons. Mandatory skulls and flames as per usual. Just need to attach them to the Land Raider Track parts. I plan on using the resin front armour parts from the Prometheus to give the tank more sensors. This will deprive me of the front turret, but I think this will make the tank look better. I'm waiting on new plasticard to arrive before I can finish the rest of the Land Raider off.

Brother Morgan Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Managed to find a bit of plasticard and get my Thunderfire Land Raider almost finished: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_14.jpg As with my previous post, I have gone with lots of extra sensors that I feel would help to ensure 100% accuracy when firing those bad boys!! I went all boring in the front - no extra flames, skulls etc!!!!! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_41.jpg I decided to stop adding to the top of the Land Raider (less is more?!?). I'm really happy with the vents on this one. I just need to add a small box to the 2 pipes going into the exhaust system. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_18.jpg I think the flames worked out well flowing over the skull. I think this will look really cool whenever I get around to painting it! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_19.jpg Obligatory shot of the back end. Usual Adeptus Mechanicus logo on the exhausts. To finish off this Land Raider, two small tasks: 1) build box around 2 pipes on vents and 2) pin sensor on top of left sponson. I used glue, but the damned thing broke off! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_20.jpg Just a taster of the new Assault Land Raider I'm moving on to next. I'm swopping the front/back around - this picture shows the front. I'm using Machinator248's tank tracks for this. They are really sharp and I can see them tearing through the enemies of the Emperor. I'm thinking of arming it with a Crusader layout, hurricane bolters and assault cannons. What do you think? http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_21.jpg Here's a shot of the rear. I want the back to look like a WW1 tank, lots of vents etc. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_44.jpg Something else I'm working on. These skull tank treads will need to be moulded and repeatedly filled with milliput. There are 56 treads required, so I will need to fill the mould 20 times before I get enough to make the wrap around tracks I want on a future tank. I know I can make more moulds, but each time I make a further copy, the mould/copy deteriates and I would like the tracks to look as crisp as possible. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/20110408_45.jpg Here's an example of what it will look like.

Brother Morgan Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Today's updates: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000883.jpg The Crux Terminator badge comes from Forgeworld. I can just imagine this Land Raider rolling through the Emperor's enemies ranks and the ramp crashing down and disgorging the Assault Terminators to smite the xenos scum! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000895.jpg The inside of the ramp can be seen in this shot. I need to finish the top off with rivets and decide what to go behind the top hatches but before the exhausts. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000885.jpg Shot shows the Land Raider armed with twin inferno cannon. I'm unsure which is the best weapon payload for this Close Assault vehicle. Any suggestions? I'm also unsure what to do on the sides of the vehicle. I'm toying with the WW1 style sponsons again. I have 2 more identical Crux Terminatus FW that I could put on the sides to replace the side hatches. Your thoughts? http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000888.jpg Rear shot. Normal exhausts turned 180 degrees with the Adeptus Mechanicus logo on top.

Terminatorinhell Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That is just so awesome I loved the terrifying aspect of the WW1 tank even though it was pretty bad in combat lol.

Eberious Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Intresting idea with the last LR's tracks. When I saw them first I thought it was geared up for ice terrian. Like people putting chains and spikes on tyres for winter weather.

Brother Morgan Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 where'd you get the spikey treads from? what link? They are from Blood and Skulls Industry. Got them from Machinator248 (Tom) on ebay. They are called Opressor Pattern 0. The resin is really crisp and good value. Mods remove if I have breached any rule. Have a look at Machinators Fellblades on Dakka Dakka if you really want motivation on being a tread head. His creations are masterpieces! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/326420.page My next investment is in the Opressor Pattern 1.0. They are for a baneblade but imagine those wrapped around a Land Raider!!!!! Regards, Brother Morgan.

Brother Morgan Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Small amount of progress: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000909.jpg I have decided that my Heavy Assault Land Raider would look cool with Twin Vulcan Mega Bolter sponsons and Twin Inferno Cannon Turret. Whether this should be the correct armament I'm not sure. Any comments? http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000906.jpg Side profile showing Crux Terminatus emblem on the side hatches. Just a couple of small things like adding rivets and some some small embelishes on top and the tank will be finished. I'm just waiting for an order from Titchytraingroup for rivets to arrive. To my next project: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000911.jpg I've started to build my Hellcannon. I was planning on fitting this on to my Shadowsword hybrid, but I'm thinking of creating another one more suited for larger barrels. This will then take: 1) Hellcannon 2) Titan Plasma Cannon 3) Double Shadowsword cannon 4) Triple Shadowsword cannon http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff118/philmorgan75/P1000912.jpg A close up of the muzzle. Though not very practical, the skulls in the barrel look cool! Other ideas: Land Raider Helios: Armed with Hyperios missiles on the top with Hyperios/Helios/Whirlwind sponsons Land Raider Minotaur: Armed with 1 Basilisk/2 Basilisks Earthshaker Cannon/s Land Raider Medusa: Medusa Siege Gun Back to building my Hellcannon!

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looking at the Hellcannon, I just came up with an idea. You should do a Deffrolla equivalent for a Land Raider.

Pulse Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Not sure the skull detail on the inside of the barrel is a good idea, probably would cause difficulties for the shell, still though looks good.

Montuhotep Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hate to burst your bubble, but the LR Helios already exists - 'tis a Forgeworld Conversion kit: Helios But the heavy assault Raider is superb!
