Company Champion Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi everybody! I'm currently working in the armored fleet for my Aurora Chapter marines, and I'll start with the Predators. You know, Aurora Chapter has three times more Predators and Land Raiders than any other chapter, so it's ovbious what'll be my heavy support choices... Two Predators and a Land Raider! ;) So there's the Aurora Pattern first Predator, very WIP: CHASSIS http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/944/predwip.jpg TURRET DETAIL, WITH MAGNETS http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/2990/turretdetailmag.jpg FRONT DETAIL http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4162/frontwip.jpg HEAVY BOLTERS, WITH MAGNETS http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1650/heavboltwip.jpg LASCANNONS, WITH MAGNETS http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1069/lascanwip.jpg C & C welcome, more stuff soon.

PlagueBearer Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I love the reinforced armour!!! It looks so wicked!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2009943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominar_Mortis Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I love the reinforced armour!!! same here consider it stolen! ;) very simple yet very effective! is this going to be a conversion heavy project? i ask cause your calling it an aurora pattern, but it looks like only a bit of DIY plus FW extra armour. i have always been a fan of the magnet weapon systems DM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2009960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company Champion Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 I though the joke was clear... It's a Predator from the Aurora Chapter, so I named it as "Aurora Pattern". The differences with a "normal" Predator are the FW reinforced armour and the modified front made with plasticard... That's all ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2009975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 As both a fellow Aurora Chapter player and magnet fan, I approve wholeheartedly. Keep it up! I'm really looking forward to seeing this thing painted in the brilliant emerald of our Chapter. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2010166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaab Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 While I really do hate that little paragraph in the new Marine book, this looks interesting- I'll be keeping an eye on it. -Joe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2010543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Horus Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 i've done something similar to the extra armour :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2011006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I like that Forgeworld turret armor. Is the kit just the turret part, or does it also include the reinforced armor kit? Edit: Nevermind, some actual reading of the FW site shows the kit includes turret and hull armor.

ShinyRhino Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Looks great. How did you mount the magnets that the sponson weapons will couple to? Glued straight to the sponson top, or did you put them on the underside of the targeter, and have them poke through the sponson top?

Glued straight to the sponson top, or did you put them on the underside of the targeter, and have them poke through the sponson top? The magnets are glued directly to the sponson top, and the targeters are fixed in position. Yes, my Predator's machine spirit has arthritis ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170195-predator-aurora-pattern/#findComment-2012399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
