didnt like the base for the apothecary, so that got changed by putting it onto a new base and giving it fabius biles chirergeon(sp?) backpack

=================================================

so yeah, thats really it for where im at now. not a great deal happening, but once the last 2 vanguards are done im onto rank and file marines, something that should be fun, but im running low on iron hands and rhino crew shoulder pads (though i need the rhino crew pads more than the chapter symbol ones).

Im really really pleased with the way the legion of the damned guys have come out thus far. i have another one painted, but ill need to wait for my batteries to charge before i can take some photos, the ones i took came out way too blurry. im going to get the banner bearer, the bolter guy, and possibly the meltagunner undercoated today so ill have some more painted stuff up in the next few days.

in the meantime, G-relk out!

Pretty sick stuff man! Lovin the Fellblade :P

 

What do you think the LoTD squad is gonna be armed with?

 

basically whats shown in my last post, along with the sergeant and other bolter guy a couple of posts back. its only a six man squad (as six seems to be more than enough to tarpit something or take enough casualties to earn itself back points wise)

Just read through your whole topic, you really have an eye for bit use, I really need to get hold of some of that wire, I've been using brass tubing with florists wire and it's a right pain to cut it to the right size and keep everything straight. Also do you mind if I steal your dread idea on the 5th page (with the lenses), I've got a dread filed down ready to have the mark IV style front but I think your idea looks a lot better for Iron Hands.

 

This topic along with a few others is slowly convincing me that my Iron Hands need more white on them to make them stand out more.

Some really awesome stuff there, particularly the Fellblade (one day i'll finish my WB one, alas, that might be one day within the next 20 years :D).

 

Looking forward to seeing more of your work :P

 

yeah, shes starting to com together, but i need to practice my freehand a bit more so i can get the chapter symbols onto each side of her. also gotta work on the dozer blade a bit more, but i think im going to need more plastic tube first...

 

yours going to be pre or post heresy styled??

thanks, and yeah, go for it. just kep in mind though with ordinary guitar strings (i usume thats what your talking about) that they have a very hard metal core, if you can get classical guitar strings, as they have a nylon core thats easy to cut (you can cut them with a knife quite easily infact

Pre Heresy style, but i wanted to make it unique and ornate and mix in some CoD bits, which is why the project will take me 20 years to finish as i procrastinate something fierce...

Oh nice!! its a pretty versatile kit i reckon, if your interested i did up a datafax for it a while back that ill put up again after a bit of an update. mine will be getting its first proper game in the next few weeks with the rules i made, should be heaps of fun :D

Really great stuff man, and I enjoyed watching your stuff get better and better through the thread B) .

cheers dude ^^

and, and update!!

finished of another two f the Legio of the Damned guys, the banner bearer, and the normal bolter dude.

going to fill a couple of holes in the other 2 LoTD guys then get them painted up over the next few days. starting to get the hang of painting the flames and lava bases now which is good. apart from those guys i havent done anything else, had to do some yard work with dad today so that chewed up a fair bit of time :S

[ya, the head came from the iron warriors set. i just cut and filed off the horns. im not too keen on the head now that the model is painted tho. makes him look like a cyclops. im going to experiment with some others and see how i go (i have another iron warriors head im gonna try, then some bionic plastic SM ones)

 

Great Work. I like the Head, keep it for that Cylon look!

I absolutely love those legion of the damned! The multi-melta is ingenious!

 

haha, thanks ^^ im pretty pleased with the way it came out, im tempted to do a little GS work on the multi-melta though, make it look a little more archaic

where did you get the winged backpack on the multi-melta LoTD?

Thats cypher's back pack if I'm not mistaken.

 

its also found in the chirugeon back pack set that gw sell, chaos marines bitz section (dunno how its spelled)

 

fantastic minis by the way, i love the scout and the LotD.

 

Edit: just checked, nailed the name spelling ;)

this. i got the chirugeon bits pack. used fabius biles backpack on the apothecary, then one of the 4 or 5 cypher backpacks on that LoTD marine. i have tomorrow off work, so expect some form of update late afternoon tomorrow australian time.

 

EDIT: if any of you guys have ideas or anything with regards to appropriate parts and whatnot to use this would be appreciated, as im always looking for bits to make my guys that little bit more unique ^^
