Cerelius Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Greetings Brothers (and Sisters) I have all but finished the fist of a number of models for my Chapter of the Knight Stalkers, this one still has a few bits. This was a card built from scratch Land Raider and 99.9% of it was hand made. Hope you all like it and the write up which i hope to flesh out a bit. For The Lion. Land Raider Falchion First Battle – Cassus IV The Land Raider Falchion first came into being in 753.M41 on the battlefields of Cassus IV. Heavily outnumbered by invading Orks the Planetary Governor Sula called upon the aid of the Knight Stalkers, their forces being the closest to hand. So it was that on the eighteenth day of the siege of Hive Balorant the capitol, the assault barge of Endymion’s Flame baring Selene, the Sixth Company in the fires of battle. Led by Captain Jezeriah Endymion they smashed into the flanks of the Waaagh Gutrencha. In the vanguard was the Land Raider Va’Lin, which had been refitted with triple linked side Assault Cannons to deal with the high number of orks, and a multi melta which turned the vehicles into burning slag. All three of the companies Land Raiders had been converted to the new configuration of the Falchion on the journey in system which allowed Captain Jezeriah to split his forces upon landfall in three to first lead the breakout of the PDF and the retaking of the planet within a month, thus breaking the back of Waaagh Thaaka Gutrencha.

wizard12 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 it looks OK, a bit thin and I don't really like the sticky out assault cannons and in my opinion would look better if they were mounted in the sponson brackets but for a scratch built model it's really good. I guess your working on some rules for that land raider eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerelius Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well Brothers (and Sisters) i hope to have a new Thunder Hawk made from card in the new year to show you.

Cerelius Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 I thought about sticking the cannons in the sponsons but that meant loosing the cabling for the ammo feeds, as well as it made it a bit difficult to move the weapons. The actually do move positions. Thanks Brother Wizard Blessings of the Lion be upon You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I do agree about the cannons being better in the sponson brackets. But i also agree that this is really good for a scratch build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Mordeus Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Guys how can we say its just ok, its freaking scratched built, i havent seen that many scratch built tanks who look that good. My only concern is the painting, needs more highlights and weathering. Awsome stuff mate keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 That tank is alright. Though I agree with what is being said about the sponsons and paintjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Good work on the scratch build. With that many assault cannons you may find the Blood Angels asking for your design. :) Looking forward to seeing pics of your Thunderhawk when you get it up and running.
