kikkala Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I could really use 0.25mm plasticard myself, doing extra plating for armour would be easier. *adds another item on shopping list* Ok, where was I? Oh yes, the termie. And getting on with the next one. *Edit* OT: This thread has reached the magical number of 500 posts, so prepare for massive degeneration of quality. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Iron Handed Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 still looking amazing, giving me loads of ideas. keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angelus Sanctus Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I assume you are using the AoBR terminators for these guys? Â Fantastic work Kik, you still make Iron Hand'ing SM stuff so dead easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Degredation in quality??? I dont think so! <_< Your thunder axe hammers look really good, the blue (to use a phrase that is tossed around often by painting coniseurs) really does make them 'pop'. So for this tournament are you hardcore-ly hammering them out production line style or one by one? And how are the drop pods coming allong??? Nag nag nag... AGAIN!!! :P S.O.N.

Peakey Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Really nice Kikk.Makes me want to do some bionics on my Iron Warriors :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Kase Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 FInally read this whole damn thread (having missed the boat when it started), this army is looking absolutely fantastic!! Â I like the Power Mauls, especially the marble like effect on the handles - do you have any close ups of the maul themselves? Â Can't wait to see what comes next!

Snozz Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I really need to start making better bionics. ;) Did I ever post you my results of using your black technique? I forget if I did, but I have pictures if you want. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikkala Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 @Brother Iron Handed Glad to be helpful :). @bluewolf74727 I'll post a army shot after 1850 points ;). @TAS Yup, aobr termies. Chopping and glueing rods is all that is needed for IH :P. @S.O.N. I wouldn't be so sure ;). I try to finish up the squad fast as I can. Starting next one before washes from previous ain't dried up yet :P. Drop Pods will continue, I'm ordering some plasticard (that white gold) balsa wood to speed that project up. @Peakey Thanks mate, start augmenting those IW already ;). @Justin Kase Thank you, I could take up some pics by tomorrow of thunder hammers. @Snozz Hmmm, you haven't actually. Upload those pics, now! :lol: @Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks mate :). Another lazy sunday. 2nd termie almost done. Current squad as it is now. And it's about time I start with these things. I'm already making alternative solutions to strengthen the structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 heya Kikkala, I love these guys :lol:, how do you bend the guitar wire is it easy to bend? (looks at his old guitar evilly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Very nice work on the Termies, very characterful and well painted. Â Yup, you so make this stuff look too easy :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 @Terminatorinhell Thanks mate, the guitar strings I have are really bendy, must be the age... anyway, I bend them around pencil or similar to give them nice round shape. @TAS Why don't you try then, if it seems so easy ;)? I'm waiting for your updates still ;). Ok, terminator #2 finished. And here's the nice close-up from the thunder axe, showing all the bad spots that I don't want anyone to see :P. And what's this? Rhino gets another part! I'll be doing the next part tomorrow, maybe hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack13 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have been watching and meaning to post in this topic for quite a while (and as I should be revising for an exam for uni that's tomorrow now seems the perfect time!!). Â Your stuff is rediculously impressive and inspirational - I would love to see it in the flesh (or lack there-of being Iron Hands and all... ;) )!! I'll be honest and say that I am not a fan of the icey-white though, not that it is badly done or anything, just that it isn't my steez. Â Consider your topic subscribed to!! And props again on one of my all-time favourite armies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo38/Snozzbucket/Picture014.jpg  There you go, will get a better picture once I paint over all the little slips ;) .  EDIT: Iron Hands Successor Woo! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Emperor's horn-rimmed glasses!!! Those Terminators are so awesome, my poor mortal eyes bleed chocolate pudding at the sight of them!!! Aaaah, my eyes!!! Â Lol, okay, seriously. Awesome stuff man. I know it's been said a hundred times by people, but I wish I could paint half as well as you! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 You know, eventually I'm going to stop posting in this thread. All I seem to say is that's great, I love it, and now is no exception :P Keep it up mate. It's good inspiration for me to get on with my marines. Out of interest how easy do you find it to scratch build things? I'm thinking about building a few things and just wanted an opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Those are great. My only criticism would be that you might want repaint the second termie's wrench logo. It looks a little bit sloppy compared to the first one. Keep it up ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Patience my friend, all in good time ;) (well one hopes :lol:). Â Â Will admit, you are causing my desire to get another AoBR box rise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 @Blackjack13 "In flesh" dirty words for Iron Hands there, my friend, very dirty words ;). Glad ya like them. @Snozz It looks great :D. And IH successors, even greater! @Brother Captain Andrecus Hahaa, chocolate pudding tears, yummy. Thanks mate :D. @Ferrus Manus Will do mate, thank you :). Well it's very early for me to say anything, it's easy at first, meazuring with templates to plasticard, cutting the plasticard, and hard part would be the assembly. I recommend starting scratchbuild little things first, before getting into big things. I did the exact opposite. Big mistake. @Justin Kase No problem mate. @Asmodeus' Swordhand And here comes the degeneration part :P. That mistake will be fixed, thanks for pointing out. @TAS Patience is my middle name. Well at least while I paint of course . The ultimate scratchbuilt-rhino project continues! Not that good though. Basic hull part is done. And here comes the realization of mistakes. It's too wide. Damn my bad math-skills! Or I didn't read instructions correctly, or understood them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Caedrius Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Kikkala, the Iron Hands look great! Some really excellent conversion work in there. Â I'm intrigued by your scratch building - what are you using to strengthen your model? I'm about to embark on a MK1 Land Raider scratch build and was going to put all my old sprues to good use - either that or get some rectangular plasticard columns from the local art/hobby shop. Just interested to learn whether you supported the structure and what you used? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I haven't looked in this thread in ages. Great work man! I'm going to backtrack to look for the thunderfire cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
