metcalfedan Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Shrike, that gun in the quote is an inferno cannon, not a heavy flamer. But I would go with Shrike's suggestion of heavy flamer and plasma cannon. I've seen it used as a heavy flamer therefore i say its a heavy flamer. Even though it's mentioned as an Inferno Cannon in at least 3 places? Also, where did you see it used as a Heavy Flamer. EDIT: And it's a bit too big to be a Heavy Flamer. If we ere playing a game, i'd let him use it as a heavy flamer, because it's not as good as an inferno cannon :) Update: My Sicarius counts-as is finished, i'll edit this post with some pics in a bit. Had a move around of my workspace, again i'll put some pics up in a bit. And now my birthday is over with, I can concentrate on getting some more exclusive models done! It's HALF TERM NOW!!!

metcalfedan Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Oh yeah, forgot to say: Guys I will [EDIT: not, sadly. I'm low on funds at the mo and want to get a cadian battleforce first] be ordering from forgeworld soon and plan on getting a MkIV or Ven MK IV dread, 2x MK IV arms and one normal arm for my AOBR dread. Any help deciding what to get? I'm thinking of either getting this: and using it as an ironclad. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/mkivdreadstore.jpg Or getting this: and using it a a venerable dreadnought. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/mkivvendreadnoarms.jpg If I go ironclad, I will probably use it with: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/assaultdrillmkiv.jpg (use as a seismic hammer and convert a heavy flamer) and: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/ccwrst.jpg (CCW with converted heavy flamer) But if I go venerable, would I be better off going for a long range shooty vehicle dread? or long range shooty infantry dread? or close combat dread? The arm for the normal dread will probably be: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/dreadplasma.jpg So, if I got ironclad, my forgeworld cart looks like this: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/forgeworldorder.jpg What do you guys think?

Cedric Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm glad to see that you decided to go with my concept for the Ironclad! How are you planning to do the flamer/melta conversions for the arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'll probably convert the two of the underslung torso parts into two flamers by adding tanks and flamer nozzles, It should look like he has two flamers either side of his chest :) Yep, i've decide, that will be what i'll go for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metcalfedan Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Awesome!Honestly, Dan, a dread painted by you will look awesome! Thanks :blink: Here are those pics I was talking about: He will be my Sicarius counts as, He is also the first model I have tried sculpting with, unfortunately I didn't have any green stuff, so I tried blue-tac with super glue over the top. Not bad for my first attempt at hair. And when I painted him I found that he looks like a kid in my form group at school. :wallbash: I didn't even mean for him to look like that :lol: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0638.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0639.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0640.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0641.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0642.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0643.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0645.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0646.jpg Here's what I have finished so far: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0647.jpg And here's some shots of my new painting setup: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0649.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0649part2.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0648.jpg So... once again, please comment :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metcalfedan Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Good looking model and nice sculpting work :). Your work place looks very well to. To bad i dont have space for something like that ^_^ . Well, space is still a bit of an issue. I'm stuck with the smallest bedroom in the house. Even though my brother moved out 2 years ago, my parents still wont let move into his much larger, empty room. And the rest of my room is full of bed :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Familiar? The Decimator is ready for painting, but because of the cold weather, I haven't been able to spray the base of black, the cold just makes it go grey and cracked. I'll have to wait until the weather warms up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I AM THE AWESOME Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I too must compliment the sculpt, not bad for blue-tac and super glue! Be warned, though, green stuff takes some getting used to. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 not bad for blue-tac and super glue! :o Thanks, not to mention my first attempt EVER! :D Thanks everybody!

Cedric Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 So..How does one sculpt with blu-tac? I can understand it's usefulness at a primitive method of pinning or setting poses before gluing, but sculpting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say though your army is looking rather, how shall I phrase this: AWESOME! Thanks :D So..How does one sculpt with blu-tac? I just put a blob on top of his head, then used the side of a hobby knife to shape the hair, more like pulling it down and flattening it, then using the sharp part of the blade to make it look like long straight hair. Then I just covered it with GW super glue to make it go hard and create a barrier between it and the paint. Originally I was only testing and was planning on taking it off after, but then I grew fond of it :) dear god sir...your blue is amazing I think I have to quit painting now :'( XD thanks ;) Oh, one more thing: Coming soon to a computer near you: It's the largest update this topic has ever seen, and IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY! At least I hope it does. :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddle Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 nice work mate, Your Dread looks VERY similar to mine, just yours has a fanny flap lol. Nice Mentor, liking that green. I Think a black wash needs to go over the silver though, bit too bright in contrast with the green :rolleyes: Sweet progress though - whats next?

eyescrossed Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 :) Awesome... Also, why do people partially undercoat models? Either that or you changed the parts on an already undercoated Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
