Skoby Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I pre-ordered too and mine didn't arrive early :huh: The english speaking world always gets the special treatment :D I also thought about converting the SH terminators, but only some and it would be a shame to rip the squads apart. So I'll just wait how good the Space Wolves terminators will look like. Well I pre-ordered mine only a couple of days after it came out and I live in england and still no box of goodies for me either. I collect Iron Hands and would just be such a waste to convert these models so I'm going just going to have some Blood Angels terminators, maybe one day I'll add to the army.

Rob_Loken Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 twistinthunder @ not sure yet mate, but I don't want to do it just metal, some might do some preliminary work on paper of some ideas. I quite liked Lorenzos power sword in the White Dwarf so may have a look at that. I did some more work on him last night. And as a result lost out on a nights sleep! But I worked on his robe a bit and painted up some more gold iconography. Today I will mostly be working on the Crux Terminatus as well as finishing the cloak. I gotta say the shere enormity of this project makes me nervous. :lol: You want to do each one justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Nice librarian. Looks damn imposing! As for the 'why convert them' question. Why not? You get 11 terminators and a terminator librarian for £60, instead of about £75. If you have the patience, it is worth it. And some genestealers are the same, I think. When I did my store game there were some clones. But, and burn me at the stake for this, I really didn't enjoy my game of Space hulk. It may be because I had to learn the rules and use them in 3 minute intervals, and my opponent was chewing I think 10 gums at once, but I was like 'that sucked'. Maybe if I knew the rules I would have enjoyed it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Cheers, fortunately I'm a BA player any how so this was just great for me as is. But I can see the conversion potential for them, in the right hands these guys could look awesome converted. But be prepared for a lot of shaving and filing. There's no doubting these guys are Blood Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I was stupid and had it shipped to the LA Battle Bunker. They got the shipment in on Monday but those of us that pre-ordered can't pick ours up until the 5th when everyone else can buy theirs. What then was the point of pre-ordering... :lol: I'll never go that route again. Nice paint job so far. I think the blue could be a little darker but thats just my tastes.

Rob_Loken Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Cheers Biohazard, these guys are so well done I don't wanna mess 'em up too much. <_< Did some more work on him this afternoon. Painted up the scroll cases and painted up the right knee pad. I was considering some sort of cracked molten effect for the axe blade but I'm still not sure. I think I'll paint it last.

Masito Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 wow mate, your paint job on the librarians is sure to make every Blood Angel out there proud as hell! can't wait to see it completely finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Awesome work dude love the libby so much gotta give you so much credit on the painting looks great i got to work on mine soon so heres hoping i can get mine on here soon. One thing though i might wanna base em on termie bases good idea bad idea anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well I propose to use magnets and have the termies with base for 40k games and without for SH. In my mind it should work, in practice however... At least the plan is to have it almost like a mini diorama where the mini slots into place on the base.

odinswolf Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 going to do my termies in blood angels as per the space hulk fluff (and throw in a couple of tactical squads to fill out the force after) I have the metal BA modela waiting to be painted as well- was an old side project..

High Marshal Sigfeird Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Really does sound a good idea to me i might try and get the termi bases to slot in place so that is possible they can be removed, but anyway back to topic im looking forward to seeing more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirax Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 In the OP, the positioning of that image in the background is either really clever or coincidentally awesome, cos it looks like there's shiny-purpley stuff going around it. Also, looking good, mate! God, I can't wait for Space Hulk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle Brother Loken Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 yeah they are the same size :) NO! THEY! ARE! NOT! seriously how many times do i have to say this me, my stores staff, my friends and everyone else in my store have all checked, double checked and TRIPLE checked they are not the same size you CAN use them in 40k games since they are ALMOST the same size. And the pointless post award goes to......... I am really liking the mini mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Cheers for the responses guys, been away on the weekend so haven't done much on him. But I'll get him finshed up soon. Oh and Skirax that purply stuff going on around it is a Ladytron promotional poster for 'Seventeen', I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. :) Maybe neon for power weapons is the way forward? haha.

daggitkiller Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Really great work on the librarian. The blue is spot on but I really like what you've done with the face. Converting them is something I look forward to, like fine surgery. A few blood drops here and there are just awards or gems, but I think I can carefully get the rest. They are just too good not to use for both SH and 40k, and I already have 30 terminators. Speaking of which, they are, for all intents and purposes, exactly the same size. The bases and poses lend them some differing qualities, but lined up it's clear many of the bits even started as masters from orginal terminators (as GW likes to build off existing models and bits, just look at Sgt. Harker's pouches). So yes, they are the same, just more active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
precinctomega Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm looking forward to painting mine in a successor chapter's colours - probably Angels Sanguine, I think, as I like the bipartite, red/black look. But the problem is that I'm enjoying playing the game too much to want to take time out to paint them! So I'll take a tip from Brother Duncs, here, and start with the Librarian, as I've not got to those missions, yet. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raafi Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I would love an SH Termy and standard termy comparison if you got the time to take the photo. And beautiful work on the librarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Great looking model Brother Duncs! Your highlighting is awesome. I'm looking forward to more! To all the questions about termie sizes and what not, it's all been answered before. Stop beating the proverbial horse! Search. Here is a lead http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...6131&st=250. Raafi, go see post #257.

Rob_Loken Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey cheers guys, yeah I did the librarian first cos I have no idea how I'm going to tackle the other models yet. I'm undecided as to whether to undercoat black or white. So I went straight for the Libby. Ok so I've done a bit more work on him today, I've painted the detailing on the axe head gold and I'm working up some strange blue/grey blending on the axe head. Once I'm done with that I'll move on to the Storm Bolter casing and give it a deep red. Then aside from the base, he's pretty much done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
