Dezartfox Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I managed to get hold of an issue witht eh Spartan in ;) I've been converting my self a new Belial Character for my Space Hulk army. Decided I wanted an all plastic army, so the metal MkI armour belial has been promoted to Command the Rogue Trader metal army ::) More details on my blog but basically I wanted to make him unique, and hopefully with lightning claws.. WIP http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00050-20090618-1635.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00048-20090618-1635.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00049-20090618-1635.jpg Still heavily WIP, tried to match the other side but with an elbow pad.. may have to sculpt that side too eventually. Still needs more finger digits too. SO the Metal Dreads will be promoted to that army too, and my Space Crusade dreadnoughts included in this army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Looks good! I'd reccomend using the bare heads from the IG Cadian Command Squad for these guys as the are slightly smaller and will fit the bodies better. Failing that any of the heads from the metal chapter masters boxed set would work just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezartfox Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Claws done! Slightly larger than the ones already on the model, bulked up the plastic fist slightly to match his new one. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00058-20090618-2237.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00060-20090618-2237.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00061-20090618-2237.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00062-20090618-2237.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00063-20090618-2238.jpg I'm happy with him, he's not perfect but good enough :;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 wow that is a great imitation of the fist sculpt looks very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Dont forget the Standard Bearer Terminator and my all time favorite the Techmarine Terminator... Go for a Robogear Kit (the Kit that has the close combat arms in it with round saw and the claw its on of the tracked vehicles in the big starting box) and use the saw and claw for the techmarine mechanic servo arm. Its easier to convert from a ready model then to sculture an servo arm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I like, I need to start searching through E-Bay if your conquests are anything to go by. And I love the re done chaplain (echo echo echo :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezartfox Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Cheers ;) Worked on the Chaplain some more today, neatened him up, filled some gaps and improved his skull helmet. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00073-20090619-1645.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00074-20090619-1645.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00075-20090619-1645.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00076-20090619-1646.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00077-20090619-1646.jpg Also cleaned up this guy! http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00064-20090619-0106.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00066-20090619-0107.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00069-20090619-0107.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00070-20090619-0108.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 it may seem like a silly question, but are those termies made out of blue metal, or is it painted? I noly not because the scratches looks blue. Looking good, though. I love retro models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinky Narfanet Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Those blue terminators are the original Space Hulk terminators. I never thought I'd ever see so many of those guys looking so good. I'm a little surprised that the Space Crusade Dreadnought looks as good as it does. I'd never managed to see one up close before. I :) this thread!

GlauG Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 This is so awesome, and incredibly inspiring! I have maybe 10 or 20 of these guys I've been wondering what to do with, and I think I now know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezartfox Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 As promised here are some more pics of this dude, I don't think he was originally intended to be a SM dread, they're from space crusade and I believe they were from an expansion pack that had these dreads and some very "Necron like" androids, http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00099-20090620-1613.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00100-20090620-1614.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00107-20090620-1615.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00108-20090620-1615.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00109-20090620-1616.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00113-20090620-1617.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezartfox Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ok, I think I have the final list for my Space Hulk Themed army: Belial - Lightning Claws = 130 Chaplain - Terminator Armour = 145 Command Squad (apoth - Chain Fist, assault cannon), (banner bearer - ThunderHammer, Stormshield), 2 x (Lightning Claws) , (sergeant - lightningclaws) = 305 Squad 1 - (sergeant - power weapon and StormBolter), (Lightning Claw), (Assault Cannon, Powerfist) 2x (Powerfist StormBolter) = (245) Squad 2 - (sergeant - power weapon and StormBolter), (Lightning Claw), (Cyclone Missile Launcher, Stormbolter, Powerfist), 2x (Powerfist StormBolter) = (245) Venerable Dreadnought - twin linked lascannon, missile launcher, Venerable, extra armour, (190) Landraider (250) =1500 The plan is: Belial, Chaplain and Command Squad deepstrike together using the DW assault rule and slice things up, a lightning claw Terminator has 5 attacks on the charge (2 normal, 1 for 2 LC’s, +1 for banner, +1 for charging) all re-rolling hits and to wound. Three of them Plus Belial is death to anything that they walk into. I decided to put the Assault Cannon on the Apothercary as he’s usually the last model to die, and if he does accidentally suffer a wound he can, of course, ignore it. Squad 1 will also deepstrike on turn one, hopefully close to Belials squad to have enough terminators to hurt, or at the other side of the board to cause a distraction, they have one pair of Lightning Claws and the Sergeants power weapon to deal with anything that can’t wait for the powerfists. Again an Assault cannon as I find the Cyclone Missiles a bit crap. 4 rending shots seem better than a single missile. Squad 2 will start in the Landraider, which will also be followed by the Dreadnought, I have a nice little pocket of long range firepower that can move across the board and be a huge distraction, heavy weapons really hurt terminators, hopefully the Landraider and Dreadnought can take it a lot better. Squad 2 have a Cyclone, despite my earlier comment I needed the extra ten points to make the dreadnought venerable. Plus they can walk alongside the Landraider and provide fire support at long range. 5 terminators sat in a Landraider ontop of an objective is extremely difficult to budge. Extremely difficult. I plan to sculpt and cast several Lightning claw attachments, as well as a “clip on” Assault Cannon and Cyclone Missile Launcher. The original models had a clip on Heavy Flamer, which fitted over the Assault cannon. I hope to start working on these soon, so will post some doodles later on! I also received my bases from Twosc (Foundations of War.co.uk) and started roughing out a display board for the 1500 point army I know where to source the plasticard (I think, if not Twosc can help me there ;) ) The landraider will go in the big empty corner, I've lined up all the bases, noted a number on the bottom and a dash for the back, http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00181-20090701-2044.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/Dezartfox/Models/IMG00183-20090701-2045.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
