Started working on some terrain for my chapter

 

First up is a chemical plant. I was thinking Promethium

that chem plant looks like a nice piece of terrain, what are and where did you get the pipe bits from? are they copper pipes for plumbing? if i was you id either paint them up copper/bronze/red like you said with some nasty style weathering /leak marks or if you want to keep it more in keeping with todays chem plants, varying shades of grey ( but thats boring, i just google imaged chem plant). i remember reading this wip ages ago and forgot to say how awesome your ravenwing are, those speeders kick ass. your paint scheme is real nice and a good use of templar bodies. what happened to the tornadoes beneath your speeders though? were they only temporary until your ruined buildings turned up?

The pipes are plaster mixed with dental stone. The company that I got the molds from is Hirst Art. Linkage: http://www.hirstarts.com/

 

A friend of mine purchased several of their molds to make a steam punk style building and asked if I wanted to borrow them. After working with him one time on them I was hooked! They are so fun. It is also where I got the rock wall molds and how I learned how to make my own molds.

 

The tornados were standing in until I built bases. But so many people liked them that I may use one for the lead ship or something. They were kind of price restrictive to purchase though so I probably wont use all of them. I got them from a company that was going out of business and at 1/2 price they were still $10 USA money each.

 

Thanks for the Raven Wing and speeder compliments, they were really fun to make especially after I discovered the beauty of magnets. The troops are fun to do basic kit bashing but the machines with visible troops are a blast!! They just beg for conversion and personalization. I liked how the ravenwing troop/bikes contrasted as well. I am not as happy with the terminators that I built and may end up stripping them or at least changing the bases to contrast the models. I thought the metal floor would look way better than it does but in the pictures you can't see the detail of the little metal floor bump things so it just looks like crap.

 

Again thanks for your encouragement it always gets me motivated to paint another unit.

Finished the chemical pipes. I put down a floor seal to look like a manhole cover. Threw in some lightning claw terminators that I just finished painting to show size etc.

Thanks Sar Mikael, I think it is a lot of fun. I get a lot of enjoyment out of doing the little stuff. There are sooo many DIY chapters out there that it is pretty hared to do anything to make one your own if you aren't actually a sculpter like some of the guys on here. I just chop things up and glue them back together a little differently. Thanks again.

My first attempt at painting a tank. I went with a lighter desert camo than the dark flat brown that I used on the bikes and Termis I built quite a few custom pieces to use on subsequent tanks but haven't done any painting on them yet. I really wanted an all plasma unit so I built a plasma pred that would count as the all laser pred. I know a unit can't have all plasma guns so they would just count as standard tactical squad with bolters but look different.

 

I used a lot of pieces off of the various Leman Russ builds. I like their sponsons better than the space marine variants. Also everything is magnetized so I can play mix and match :)

I am working on an all plasma unit and was thinking it would be cool to include a STORMBLADE ARKURION PATTERN with the large plasma blast gun. Rules wise I would probably have to call it a land raider but it would fit the theme.

Okay I have a question for anyone who actually gets to play. (I only get to play about 1 timer every 6 months or so) How would a devistator unit with 4 Plasma cannons fair? And what would you do with them in a game? I already built them and am almost done with painting them as part of my whole plasma unit thing. I just want to know how to best use them so they don't die really fast and maybe even earn their points back.

Okay here are some pictures of the new Plasma unit. Sorry the pics are not too good today. Having a little trouble with lighting. The unit goes with my fluff really well. It is a standard devistator unit with 4 plasma cannons 5 marines with plasma guns (counts as regular bolters) I haven't built the unit leader but other than that it is done. Oh and I didn't have enough of the right backpack so I was one short until I could pick up another.
