kikkala Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looking good, I could learn thing or two from you about bionics :). Are you doing 5-man vanguard squad or perhaps full 10-man squad? And your going to dish out all the special equipment on them :D. This guy caught my attention: how thick are the plasticard tubes? And are they hollow already, or did you drill them yourself, so you could put thinner rod inside? http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0148.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikkala Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Aha! So that's what they are :lol:. Now that I know what it is, I'm pretty sure I can find it from home. Thanks for the offer, but we'll save each others money this way :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer, but we'll save each others money this way ;). its called "single strand bell wire" if that helps. i got the roll for AUD$2 at the local rubbish tip, so really its only the postage that would matter, even then, it wouldnt be much because it wieghs very little (though being so close to christmas you prolly wouldnt recieve it until january anyway). if you cant find it though, PM me and ill send you some :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focslain Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 First, awesome work my friend, I love all these conversions, might steal a few if I expand my Steel Wolves.

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Where did you get his head, I must know! Its from the DA Biker Sprue. Hence the puttied DA symbol on the mouth. Great works G-Relk. Great designs and ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-relk Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 new content! first up: 6th vanguard vet (minus jump pack) http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0167.jpg the torso is the black templars one with the icon cut off, and two plasticard circles glues over the top, #7 vanguard has the same torso. and the "sergeant" for the command squad: http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0168.jpg i ran out of assualt legs so i had to canibalise the ones on vanguard # 6 from one of my other sergeants, but that wont matter as i have a MUCH cooler model to replace him (the metal techmarine from the older command squad boxed set). ive also nearly finished vanguard #7, just gotta finish off the bionic legs, giv him a right arm, and put a jumpack on him. the vanguard squad when finished will have: 3 x marines with thunder hammer and storm shield (1 finished - pending painting) 1 x marine with twin lightning claws (finished - pending painting) 1 x sergeant with relic blade and storm shield (finished - pending painting) 4 x marines with power weapon and plasma pistol (2 1/2 finished - pending painting) 1 x marine with power weapon and storm sheild im quickly running out of bits to finish this squad, nearly all my chainswords have been converted into power weapons, i dont have any more thunder hammers, i only just had enough storm sheilds, and i think im short a torso front :( oh well, after these guys are done, plus the dread its rank and file marines, w00t! as usual comments and crits welcome and encouraged!

Disistablishmentarianism Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Real nice work there mate, but do mine eye deceive me? Are those catachan swords stuck on the chainsword power block things? Particularly like the terminator captain and use of RW bitz.

Bring your bitz box to warhammer day yes, they are catachan long knives, i wanted those swords to look more like sabres than normal swords to make thema little differant. RW?? and by "bitz box" you obviously mean "bitz box's", dont you?? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disistablishmentarianism Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Ravenwing. Of course! I meant box's* Also how would you go about iron handinising the AoBR dreadnought? How long will it take you to get your mitts on a titan? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 i have the plans to make a titan, but i havent gotten around to it yet. one day... my AoBR dread should be here soon, so i can really show you how to IRon Hand-arise it ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 so, this is hopefully what my 4th dreadnought will look like. the guns are TL auto cannons fyi http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/dreaddraw.jpg only problem is: i want the hangers for the weapons to be totally symetrical, but for that to happen im going to need A: some bits that look sorta like what i want, and B: are symetrical. to me the only bit i can think of is the hanger for the ork warbike twin shootas http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/O-BIKE-GUNSw.jpg the circled one is the one that i think will be the best. what does everyone else think?? further more, does anyone have spares of those bitz that they want to give to me for nothing?? if you do, then plz PM me. i live in australia fyi please??

Disistablishmentarianism Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Excellent, I won't do anything further to my dreadnought. Maybe allan has some of the spare ork bitz? Mounting should look good, especially with the smiley :turned: You could always whip out some plasticard magic if all else fails. Another thing that comes to mind would be to extend the thing that mounts the sponsons on the predator tank, maybe a little flimsy but just brainstorming (uggh). I didn't like it too much at first, but that catachan sword thing you've got going on is cool. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 i have some more pics coming soon of my last dreadnought so far, plus the painted "sergeant" from my command squad. in the mean time i have this to show you: (copypasta from my thread in the homegrown rules: apocalypse dataaxes section link) ******* to kit my Iron Hands army out for apocalypse games id thought id have a go at making them a fellblade, as they are an (almost) pre-heresy styled army (bar one assualt cannon and a squad of vanguard veterans with current pattern jumppacks and the imperial aquila on their torsos). i checked out the Bell of Lost Souls datafax and thought "this is just a BS 4 baneblade, how lame", so i went in search of any fluff i could find regarding it. i found out its proper armament, so i went about making a proper datafax for it with proper pre-heresy era weapons. this is what i got: http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/fellbladedatasheet.png so what do you think?? any ideas of points?? and what do you think about the cost for the twin heavy stubber upgrade?? with no idea as to the cost of a normal heavy stubber upgrade (dont have the IG dex) i had to make a guess, so tell me if its ok. i also changed the stats of the main weapons (fellblade cannon and thunderer cannon) a little to represent them being weapons that dated back to the golden age of technology, and thus, are slightly more powerful than the weapons of m41. the pic is of a mars pattern baneblade i found on forgeworld. the fellblades were built on mars, and besides the entirely exposed tracks and rounded turret, a fellblades looks identical to that mars pattern baneblade. any ideas for appropriate opions are welcome too :) any and all help appreciated charles ******* im going to make one >:) not sure whether i will base it off the forgeworld mars/lucious pattern baneblade, or the plastic GW lucious pattern yet, though the GW plastic one is a lot cheaper, and will be easier to work with, the forgeworld baneblades looks more like a fellblade compared to the GW one. either way it wont be on the cards for a while yet, as i want to get the rest of the army finished first. ill edit this post with the new pics asap :D PICS!!!!! first up: the three new guys. the guy on the left is a tactical squad sergeant, the other two are guys for my vanguard squad http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0170.jpg next item: the nearly finished dreadnought. used an AoBR dread for this, and im very impressed with t :) http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0171.jpg i also did this with some spares, plus a drop pod deathwind launcher (thanks seb) http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0176.jpg and for something totally differant: something painted!!! this is the "sergeant" for the command squad http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-relk/warhammer/DSCF0172.jpg other angles of him: http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-r...er/DSCF0173.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-r...er/DSCF0174.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x61/g-r...er/DSCF0175.jpg so, what does everyone think?? ill get some more work done on the dread as soon as i get more bits. same goes for the vanguard vets comments and critiques welcome as usual :) EDIT: now with 33.33% less cross-posting action!!!

g-relk Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 EPIC THREAD-O-MANCY!!!! anyway, just a message to anyone interested in where this was headed to say that it hasnt been forgotten. ive nearly finished work on my legion fellblade, just waiting for some more parts to come to finish it. i also changed the datafax around a TINY bit to make it a bit more of a seige tank the last dreadnought is complete except for paintin, tho im still not much further on the vanguard squad. also started a LoTD squad, and have a completely finished sergeant to show off should have pics up in the next day or two depending on how busy i am regarding work and life etc cheers charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-relk Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 LOTD marine #1 this guy is just something i kit-bashed together. just waiting on some resin lava bases to come so i can base and paint him. Dreadnought #4: front: R side: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...3375_146028.jpg Rear: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads..._3375_10457.jpg as you can guess, this is based off the AoBR dread with new arms and converted sarcophagus. most of the work on this guy was actually in making the mounts for the arms. im still not 100% happy with them, but they are still bvery close to my initial concepts so it s not really that big a deal. LOTD serg Front: L side: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...3375_176457.jpg R side: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...3375_132336.jpg Rear: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads...3375_107238.jpg unfortunately i dont have any pics of him before it got painted, but its basically a mash of chaos and loyalist marine parts as well as a chaos warrior torso for the cape, and the flaming sword from the empire wizard kit. fellbalde Main: from the front: tank commander: L front panel detail: R front panel detail: havent done a lot of work to the baneblade to turn it into a fellblade, mainly just put a new end onto the end of the baneblade cannon, lengthen the barrel of the co-axial autocannon, replace the lascannons with autocannons, give it a machine spirit thingy at the front, and remove all the imperial eagles to keep it in with the pre-heresy theme. have got plans to put a large dozer blade on the front, just waiting on parts to arrive. also waiting on some blank armour plates for the sides and another heavy stubber to make a twin linked pintle-mounted heavy stubber. still have to tweak the datafax a bit more to allow for the machie spirit rules (that im yet to put in) and here is the nearly completed datafax: so, what does everyone think?? comments and crits welcome and encouraged :P cheers charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 ok, slight update here made a small flag style banner for it: Turret with the new banner attached: and i also started to do a bit of painting: Details for the magnetized cuppolas (the cuppola on the rights magnet is under the top most layer of thin plasticard) Chaos Smoke Launchers on the main hull mounted where the normal ones are: Support structure for the Dozer blade (its magnetized, the magnets are in the other side) Twin linked heavy stubber: Shot of where its at as of yesterday (without the new banner): and lastly, the final copy of the datafax (minus the picture, which will be added when i actually finish the tank and take some good shots of it with a better camera so, what does everyone think???
