TDA's mad sheningans [GB + LPC]

[TheDarkApostle]

Did someone say something about Golden Bolter WIP logs?

A taste of things to come:

Front:

And a servitor:

All for now. :huh:

I rather like the little arch thingies on the front of the Land Raider, they're way more subtle than the cherubs on the side. Not that being subtle is usually on a space marine's to-do list.

 

Also, that servitor looks vaguely like he's playing a PS3. I assume he's going to be manning some sort of weapon?

[TheDarkApostle]

Indeed. The Cherubs are far from finished.

 

And the servitor will be manning a storm bolter.

With TDA in the title I was expecting Tactical Dreadnought Armor aka terminators. I now realize that was a shortening of your name. I like the cherubs on the front of the raider and the head on the servitor even if there are no termi's in your thread.

[TheDarkApostle]

Sorry to disappoint ;)

 

And thank you :D

Hmm, are you going to paint the bolters the cherubs are painting gold, in keeping with the theme of the contest? :tu:

[TheDarkApostle]

I'll see ;)

More pics:

What would the grim and gothic future be without custom exhausts?

Servitor now in place:

Improved cherubs?

Still going to add more plastic rod like this:

Said and done:

And now the servitor has some added augmentations!

i am loving this project and im looking forward to more updates.

 

the changes you have made are very effected while some are subtle they really make the difference.

 

the cherubs are cool, how are you painting them? as cherubs or as something like stone?

[TheDarkApostle]

Planning to go stone/some-sort-of-statue route atm.

if i can just add my two imperial credits:

I think the eagles behind the cherubs would look better if the heads faced OUT, as opposed to in, and it would look more like an aquila.

 

Also, what are you going to do to the servitor to make it look more like a servitor? it's still pretty scout like as far as i can tell

[TheDarkApostle]

I'll play around with the eagles and cherubs tomorrow to see if I can work something better out.

 

Not going to do much about the servitor at the moment. I tried to keep my original concept but it didn't really work out as I couldn't get any arms to work with holding the stormbolter in any good way. When I finally did find a set of arms that worked however, they were far to bulky for the original torso, so I decided to bulk it up as well.

 

Hopefully my painting will help convey the feeling of a servitor. That, or some excessive green stuffing which I'm planning to start tomorrow. :)

I think the sevitor looks great as and I'm sure once everything is painted it will look even better. I'll be following this one, it looks very promising.

[TheDarkApostle]

Changed places of the aquillas. Didn't like it. I'll be going on the first "finished" design.

 

Pretty much finished up everything that I can do pre-green stuffing, so I'll be starting that now.

[Asrech]

Yay for more ornate Land Raiders! :)

 

Looks to be a very cool, holy, killy piece of the imperial warmachine indeed, and I'll deff be checking in on this when new updates apear.I'd say nay to the golden cherubim though, think it would look better in "real" colors, but I'll drop more opinions about that as we get more details and basic colors in place :P

 

Looking forward to pics about the changes and green stuff!

 

Damn.. now youve made me want to make another LR.. and I already have 8... I don't need another!

[TheDarkApostle]

And finally a little something for the LPC:

Still messy alá TDA. Going to clean up the GS tomorrow after it's cured, with a specific note of the exhausts. Still got to add the planned trims on the sides, but I'm having trouble trying to decide whether to use plasticard or green stuff for it. Also I'm debating whether to do something with the stormbolter cable or to leave it as it is.

[Terminatorinhell]

wow the tank is awesome, and I assume your LPC is a a melta sevitor? (A really cool one)

[Capt. Lysander]

Really nice work on the cherubs.
