Zaku Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 The intention behind the shield is as follows: First, the shield will show the Greatcompany marking of ragnar Blackmane (Black Wolf-Head on Yellow) and secondly it´s the only place i could thoink of placing such markings. He has no Kneecaps and no visible shoulderpads ;) And.... it protects his armpit :P But you are right, it´s ultrabright at the moment, it will get some work, as is the rest of the mini...

Mal Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Im glad to see your adding the yellow. I have seen countless SW armies done in baby blue or blue grey but without the yellow trim, which IMHO is what makes them really stand out. Great job on teh conversion and qudos on the painting.

Zaku Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Got the title ? Mh...my english is not that good. Want to explain ? And no, im not Brother-Chaplain X-to the T Xibit. :D To topic: No complaints about a noble Black Reach Captain going to Chaos ??? The Hammer wielding guy from Post 1 will be a Salamander "on puplic demand" from our hobby club ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146247-pimp-my-black-reach-project/page/2/#findComment-1698330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm not sure which model I like most the space wolf or the guy with the two hammers. Some very nice conversions and I can't wait to see them finished. That reminds me I really should get around to opening up my black reach box. Damn this table full of unpainted miniatures!

Zaku Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Ok... an Idea just popped into my mind, i will use the front part of the captain to do a Black Templar "Honored Paladin Krugger". Legs of an standing DA, Front and Bolter from the Captain, Arm with something (pointing ?) some gimmicks from the BT sprue... waddayathinkofthat ?

Marshall Strat Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I like that idea. Maybe the greave legs would work better. ( Use a lot of those in my BT army). The BT sword in the upgrade may be a good pointing gimmick.

Zaku Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I´ve done him as a quicky, without much searching through my bitzboxes, so hes just "for relaxation" :) http://dragonboard.futuresight.de/index.php?page=Attachment&attachmentID=167&h=c2075c9ff278a6f46e5016ad7f8bbd6ce47c3479 ... and here is a quick mockup where you have to remove some plastic to let the front-torso fit snuggly when using the back-piece of the BR Captain. (Without damaging the Shoulderpads, that is) http://dragonboard.futuresight.de/index.php?page=Attachment&attachmentID=166&h=bda8173de5d121d0350cd298a18797b2c7d24c29 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146247-pimp-my-black-reach-project/page/2/#findComment-1698904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Loken Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thats a real nice use of a chaos back pack I must say. And I didn't realise that the captain was that easy to convert. (Get's in car to go buy Black Reach). Also thats a nice green you've got there for the Salamander, can I ask how you got it? I'm no good with painting green armour and would love to know how people get it looking so good.

Zaku Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thank you for the comment, i appreciate it very much. The Commander is a fun model, get as many as you can before i bought them all ! ;) The green was done as follows: Base with Orkhide Shade (Foundation) 2 thin layers of Snot green let dry a heavy wash of thraka green ink (new washes/inks range) thats it ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146247-pimp-my-black-reach-project/page/2/#findComment-1703293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Strat Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 They both look great. I like the BT conversion, and may have to try it.

turelhim vampire Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 All look really good, but not sure on that custodes - I'll wait until I see it painted to pass judgment though. A quick question, where are those thunder hammers from on that Salamander?

Zaku Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 @turelhim vampire: Iron hands veteran seargant (metal bitz), it is also available as a bitz pack with 5 of those, 5 storm shields and 5 veteran shoulderpads. the hammer on the shoulder is trimmed and the arm was replaced with the grenade throwing arm (plastic) included in the Space Marine tactical sprue.

Zaku Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Threadomancy... but it´s my own thread, so i think its ok.

Freakiq Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Really nice, I especially like the Salamander and the Custodes. Btw, How's the quality of the resin chainaxes, are the as brittle as they seem?
