Iron Father Ferrum Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 So this is a little late, but here's the finished Librarian. I decided to do the lightning-style pattern on the force axe but in red rather than blue; I'd like to know how well you think it came out! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/DTRI/Iron%20Hands/Leaders/IMAG0217_zpsb8f4b166.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/DTRI/Iron%20Hands/Leaders/IMAG0216_zps638316d1.jpg While feverishly painting one of my half-finished Razorbacks and Mk.IV Ironclad, I forgot to take pictures. However, I started ripping into my scattered boxes of bits this evening, determined once and for all to separate every sprue, box, and clam pack I own by game system and faction so that I can start trying to get rid of some of it. While doing so, however, I found a scattered collection of pieces and parts of Dreadnoughts. . . just enough, in fact, to put together a rather ornate Venerable Dread! So here's what I'll be using to build Venerable Brother Niall, former Iron Commander and chief of Clan Shologar: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/DTRI/Iron%20Hands/Vehicles/IMAG0225_zps92a02d20.jpg Also forthcoming is the paint job on the DV Librarian; I trimmed all the Dark Angels icons off of him, so he'll be popping up in blue armor and black robes shortly as well.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm working on it! Classes started yesterday and I got a job to help with the bills, so progress is likely to be slow. On the flip side, though, my LGS finally got Dawnstone and Ironbreaker in stock, so at least I can jumpstart my highlighting of all those big areas of flate black we have to deal with...

Machine God Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 @Deux Ex Ferrum - Nice Libby! Minor critique could you post a photo showing his left fist behind that Storm Shield so that we can check for Silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Ha! It's silver, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 So I've been working slowly, what with the new codex generating a need to revise my army list, and it got me thinking that now might be a great time to get back to work on the drop pod army I've always wanted. So after I get my mechanized list done, then I'll be turning my hand to finally finishing the seven drop pod kits I have. Anyway, so here's the base for my Venerable Dreadnought. As you can see, I've decided to start decorating my bases with the detritus of battle, specifically battles against the Iron Hands' arch-foes, the Emperor's Children. It's a little more purple than pink, but I didn't want to have to invest in a whole new slew of paints, so I'm making it a light purple (I have purples because I use them to paint my Marik Militia for BattleTech). http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/DTRI/Iron%20Hands/Vehicles/IMAG0229_zpsc16769ec.jpg And then, as a first step towards my pod army (which will of course have several Dreadnoughts in it), I went to town on an Ironclad kit I bought a while back and never put together. I decided to try my hand at re-posing a leg -- first ever attempt! -- and it came out actually really good. Against, Chaos Marine bitz on the base for flavor. Here's a shot of just the base (that foot is glued down as a guide for the legs), and another with the adjusted legs to show off the bent knee. I, uh, couldn't be bothered to put new cabling on the legs, so I just cut all of it away. Ahem. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/DTRI/Iron%20Hands/Vehicles/IMAG0230_zps396c44f3.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h96/DTRI/Iron%20Hands/Vehicles/IMAG0231_zps054d64bc.jpg Tell me what you guys think!

deathspectersgt7 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yes stomp and grind!!! Good pose.I think the purple looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The shade of Purple and the pose look really good! Although I'd have had the foot on the helmet I've been trying to work out where (and how) you've cut the Dread leg. If I'm correct, where the piston mount joins the knee (so that the piston mounts are completely separate from the leg itself), and a cut at the "hip". Then reposition. In any case, it'll be something to see finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yes stomp and grind!!! Good pose.I think the purple looks good. Thanks! I have to admit to a certain amount of trepidation about the purple, but *I* like it, so I suppose that's really all that matters. The shade of Purple and the pose look really good! Although I'd have had the foot on the helmet I've been trying to work out where (and how) you've cut the Dread leg. If I'm correct, where the piston mount joins the knee (so that the piston mounts are completely separate from the leg itself), and a cut at the "hip". Then reposition. In any case, it'll be something to see finished Thanks again! As for where I cut it, if you look at the model's leg, there's four pistons in the "shin": one in the middle, two on either side, and one in the rear. I cut the two on the sides where they connect to the knee -- you can see on that left leg that the side pistons don't align perfectly with the center of the knee -- and then the center piston and the rear piston were cut as close to the knee as possible as well (which was a tricky operation, let me tell you!). I then cut the hip joint as close to the hip-cam as possible, trimmed the hip-pistons to a beveled edge, then glued everything back together with the right leg canted to one side and the knee bent.

BassWave Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ha! My venerable also stands victorious over an EC warmachine. In my case, its a forge fiend head. Stuff is looking good so far brother. Any plans on getting our legion's contemptor in the future? I know I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh yeah, I'd love to. Funds are a little tight at the moment, though, so it's going to have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
