Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Lol, a Titan is extremely unlikely to appear I'm afraid. Sowwy :( lol Small update. My friend chose the Black T'hawk. I think he was a little happy with it... Dancing round the house singing 'Its Thunderhawk Style' lol. But that leaves me with the red one, which I'm happy with. That is the way I originally intended it, but gave him the choice anyway. I started on the twin linked heavy Bolters. The ones under the wings are directly from the Razorback. The forward HBs are from the Predator kit with the mount/stork from the LRC kit. The ammo boxes are from Landspeeders or Attack Bikes I think. (Had a load in my bits box) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/DA303495-368B-4CD3-941B-0F34B4086F4B-7749-000012FB6726B62D_zpsf4831920.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/53CD4A98-3550-4184-964B-8FFB10004893-7749-000012FB7417AAAF_zpsfe1638fc.jpg I did a mock fit how they would be mounted on the Black T'hawk which mimics FWs model. I would have used the Predator sponson mounts if I'd been doing this. Should be noted the LR mount/stork fits just as well into the Predator Sponsons. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/E0BD5A4E-60DB-4C7C-A5F4-57519683EA9F-7749-000012FB7F5966AA_zps5f07c16d.jpg But back to the red one where like I said before, I've made the side door arrangement more like a Landraider. I have taken 2 of the weapon door mounts I had in my bits box and cut the backs off them. And they fit perfectly snug in the door ways I made on the model. And this where I will be mounting the forward HBs. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/E33BE261-56EA-4556-BD83-82EB1044108B-7749-000012FB8F9F5F88_zpsb6747e4f.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/6FD2AC6E-104B-4354-85BD-9D08ACA66075-7749-000012FB8767D14B_zpsfdc30624.jpg I have also sprayed the base colour on using my usual Army Painter Dragon Red. It took nearly a full can though :/ oh well. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/10F44FAE-03AB-4141-9030-93527A438C47-7749-000012FB9CF69A59_zps49d550d6.jpg And that's as far as I've gotten. Would have been more except I've been away a couple days helping my brother, and then had a touch of food poisoning the last day or so :/ CTK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191747-ctks-blood-angels/page/8/#findComment-3307851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just a quick update. I hate painting large models... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/19AEAC52-974B-4E0C-A534-5C417507B382-595-000001A44FA716DD_zps5cca8e8b.jpg The red is done as much it will be. It's not exactly how I want it, but I'm going round in circles. All the 'exposed metal' area and detailing are base coated in black ready to be painted in NMM grey. More pics soon I hope.

As the rest of the army is modeled to be on a dusty redish planet, so this is what I came up with. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/C3483F13-B763-4CA7-85C3-D4B6510F03FA-1752-0000046E6A252504_zps09a17257.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/9818D646-D1D7-4A09-AA14-FCD41235772F-1752-0000046E7A6DE47E_zps5530cff7.jpg As luck would have it, I had 4 larger magnets in my box from goodness knows where. Which was nice as they allowed me to fit the bolters under the wings perfectly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/67F38346-E840-42FE-8D8E-D75317E0B4B8-1752-0000046E89EF4BCD_zps4a329f5b.jpg And finally the comparison shot with the Baal and LR, but now with paint http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/2A639595-36D6-4ED6-B9A1-3BB1534B6FA6-1752-0000046E91B90074_zpsc30f8472.jpg http://www.fortressoftheunforgiven.com/Img_CH00_08Awards_02_LPC_2013A.gif Coments and Crits welcome and appreciated folks.

TheForgottenAngel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wow this is impressive!!!! One of the better scratch builds I've seen! I'm sure you're relieved to have it done!!

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I do have a link to a template by a guy called Eli_Patoroch which is pretty cool. But I don't have any way of accessing at the time. I just had a decent side and top view of the T'hawk. From that I was able work out or guess dimensions using pieces I already knew the size of as a guide. I used the size of the side door as they are same as on Landraiders.

TheForgottenAngel Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well you did an awesome job by winging it essentially! I'd love to see it next to the FW one to see how the size compares.

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys :) Yes I'd also like to compare it with FWs model. (For size, not detail) Unfortunately, the only one I knew about reasonably local was sold a few weeks ago. But if the opetunity ever arises, I will deffinaty post pics! This was my first ever LPC. Do I have to post on the LPC thread that I've completed my vow? Or is it enough to say I have on my thread?

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi folks. Been moving my models round the house a bit today. One, to protect them from the kids as they grow. And two, to make room for more important things where I had them. But I did take the opitunity to take some pics of the force in its entirety as it currently stands. It is still growing though, so don't be fooled into thinking I've stopped ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/3C3EB239-6CE3-4F05-A408-892E77F2F87F-367-00000051A5868734_zpsd29bd462.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/62CAB786-3D6A-4226-BE15-123E99A3C6AA-367-00000051B132F698_zpsbe06ef55.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/116925B0-6E4E-45C9-A59C-759A14F1A4FD-367-00000051BA90A817_zps2a1512a6.jpg Enjoy :) CTK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191747-ctks-blood-angels/page/8/#findComment-3326548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Howdy folks. Thanks for the kind comment AGPO :) So painting has been slow since I finished the Hawk. I really don't like painting large models :/ But I have now finished a Raven Wing style squad. Yeah I know that's DA, but I think the unit composition fits well in any SM force. As my 2nd Co. is complete, these are from the 8th Co. (assault Co.) which is represented by a double green tear drop on the right shoulder. On models from this Co. I'm deciding to for go the embossed shoulder pads and just free handing the symbols. All the bases are made by me as usual. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/68EEE61B-F1E3-4C7D-B31D-43F5C483E0FC-1614-000003CD58D89FBB_zps72d04b11.jpg The 2 bikes on the left side are from the Dark Vengence set. The 2nd bike to the right side is an eBay rescue. And the other 3 bikes, the attack bike and the speeder are all from my 10 year old force, with the same update techniques I've mentioned before. Models of note are the attack bike and speeder. I like the attack bike itself, but always hated how the passenger sat and gun position. So 10 years ago I modeled a standing Marine with weapon. I gave the passenger hair now though, lol. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/FA06541F-9A47-43ED-9824-2B7511E2B064-1614-000003CD68382895_zpse46fdbbc.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/CC90DC5C-40B0-4506-8A70-27B0017BA52F-1614-000003CD6FB06B90_zps800bde2f.jpg On the speeder I've altered the weapon load out, changed both heads and change the gunners pose a bit. Again I never liked the gun/gunner positioning on the basic model. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/FD6F7358-B35C-41E6-A5DB-51D47A044587-1614-000003CD76564EB9_zps5999de94.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/5251BA78-934C-4B8F-9F90-C5738D2E2E39-1614-000003CD7BF6AC04_zps7121a266.jpg Comments and Crits welcome as always.

Robert2004 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I had to comment here, man this work is totally unreal! I love the way you make the models stand out, individuals in an army full of the same colours and troops is amazing. Have you done much other work on this site, if so a link to them please would be fantastic?! I will be keeping a keen eye on this to see more models. fantastic my friend, you should be very proud.

Son of Carnelian Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 An amazing thread. I'll join the choir of praise being heaped upon this army. The only thing I would recommend you go back and change would be some of that empty space on the Thunderhawk. Your freehand is so good and that red is so blank. You should go crazy with it!

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 And a looooooong long time later, I suddenly reappear... Which was nice. Long story sort, I got a lil bored of GW in general. In the mean time, my 2nd son (Marcus) was born, He's now 2yo We moved house. I got a new job. Started collecting/painting a few other gaming systems not covered by B&C. But now, I'm once again I'm getting sucked back in... Painting/Modeling is a lot harder these days, mainly due to increased work and family life. So updates will be fewer and farther between. But I have pics of a few units I've been working on the past couple months. Hope you like.

I've never much cared for the regular GW kit. So I've used plasticard to lengthen the Hull, and then I altered the wing geomtry to mimic the hull shape of the Thunderhawk. Then added a predator turret to finish it off. http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery2/gallery/d/62785-2/image_004.jpeg http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery2/gallery/d/62788-2/image_005.jpeg http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery2/gallery/d/62791-2/image_006.jpeg http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery2/gallery/d/62794-2/image_007.jpeg http://www.ageofstrife.com/gallery2/gallery/d/62797-2/image_008.jpeg And that is it for the time being folks.

Quixus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The terminators are awesome. I really like the yellow/NMM gold helmets. The aircraft look great too, I just think that the canopies could use a contrasting colour instead of red.

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thank you guys, much appreciated. I can understand what you're saying Quixus. however I don't think the pics do it justice unfortunately. Even with the red on red, it doesn't look to bad in the flesh. If I do go back and change them at a later date, what colour(s) would you suggest?
