Dono1979 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 How'd you make that cape? Found it on ebay! :lol: I can try and track down the seller if you like, they were an ebay store and so are sure to still be there (hopefully), as I will need a few more in any case. They are pretty cool, they have two little round 'buttons' on the shoulder tips to represent the cape mounting points like a real cape, and they come in five slightly different casts. Just slightly different creases and suchlike but enough to make them not look like photo copies of each other. -Dono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3074741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dono1979 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 they're the ones! Whether they are worth it or not.... they are expensive but I am lazy and cant be bothered making my own and the only other good options I found were the GW command cloak which is only one style. The rest of their gear is coming along nicely but the bulk of their stuff looks a little too cartoony for me.

Yeah its a full tanged steel sword, for contact sword fighting, used to do Medieval armoured foot combat with steel and rattan, but taking a break. Now do Iaido. The sword itself was smithed by a guy in Melbourne, cost around $300aud, but that was a bit of a deal. -Dono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3075620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dono1979 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ok so the expansion of the Crusade into Apocalyptic regions has continued and should be grinding to a halt shortly as my slush fund is now largely funding the painting of my IG army. Before that commenced however I did lock in the latest modification of the Crusade with te inclusion of another Sword Brethren component made up of the Rapier crew with crested helmets and capes. These guys will then be dispersed throughout the Crusade squads as 'sergeants'. To fit in with the theme of the Mk III Sword Brethren I am also going to convert a Master of the Arsenal (a much cheaper alternative to the limited Boarding Marine). http://lh4.ggpht.com/_6lDucdi4Yh0/SzBkSEjv8nI/AAAAAAAAAGA/BXGTarN01gk/masterofarsenal1%5B3%5D.jpg Along with the new Sword Brethren , I have also increased the size of my Bolter marines the (fire support squads) from 10 to 40, mainly as I am starting to play with a lot more shooting and also as I will be using the Templars in a Tyrant's Legion list, and the Bolter guys will be Legion Cohort marines. Lastly I caved and ordered two Dreadclaws to count as Drop Pods. Overall the theme of the Crusade is starting to turn quite dark, not Chaos mind you, but definitely leaning towards Traitor, an isolated Crusade which has been fighting without support and no longer believes that the majority of the Imperium is doing things the right way.... time to kill all of the Heretic witches... namely the Librarians!!! so all in all the Crusade has now become a considerable force (espeically when paired up with the IG component which they have commandeered): 1 Terminator Marshal - 9 Terminator Sword Brethren 1 Terminator Chaplain - 9 Terminator Sword Brethren 1 PA Marshal - 9 PA Sword Brethren 1 PA Castellan - 9 PA 'Sword Brethren' 2 PA Chaplains - 6 Cenobyte Servitors 1 Emperors Champion (in Tartaros Armour) 1 Contemptor Dreadnought - Lucious Drop Pod 2 Dreadnoughts - Drop Pods 1 Techmarine - 5 Servitors 6 Jetbikes 3 Attack Jetbikes 3 Landspeeder Typhoons/Tempest 6 Tarantula Sentry Guns 10 Assault Initiates 40 Close Combat Initiates - 20 Close Combat Neophytes 40 Fire Support Initiates - 10 Fire Support Neophytes 2 Dreadclaw Transports 3 Rapier Laser Destroyers 6 Rhinos Chasis' (can be converted to Razorbacks, 1 x Deimos Command, 2 x Whirlwinds) 3 Predators (1 Mk IV c on route with an executioner turret) 1 Vindicator 1 Landraider Crusader 3 Caestus Assault Rams 1 Stormlord Fellblade The accompanying IG component then can work indepedantly or combined as a Tyrant's Legion or Renegade and Heretics list (although rumours of allies in 6th could make this interesting): 2 Company Command squads (one mobile) 1 Lord Commissar 1 Primaris Psyker 1 Ministorum Priest 1 Techpreist Enginseer (mobile) - 5 Servitors 1 Marbo 20 Storm Troopers (airborne) 16 Ogryns (mobile) 20 Snipers 30 Veterans (airborne & mobile) 1 Platoon Command Squad 30 Infantry 9 Heavy weapon teams 20 Penal Legions 6 Sentinels 3 Hellhounds 3 Valkyries/Vendettas 2 Arvus Lighters 16 Rough Riders 8 Chimeras 3 Hydra Flak Tanks 3 Medusas 6 Artillery emplacements (Earthshakers and Hydra Flak 4 Leman Russ 2 Lightnings 1 Thunderbolt 1 Baneblade/Banehammer -Dono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3090778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dono1979 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Well I have completed my Imperial Guard (except for 30 artillery crew which I am waiting on parts for) so it back to the Black Templar now to expand the Crusade in readiness for 6th ed battles and duality in Tyrant's Legion lists. I've received most of the model parts and have started assembling. The first steps were to start putting together the new fire support teams, going from 2 x five man team, to 4 x ten man teams, these marines will all have bolters with a heavy weapon carrier and a special weapon carrier. In addition they will double as my Legion Cohort models in the Tyrant's Legion list, so the special and heavy weapon carriers will be the special weapons guys and a Mk III caped model will be there sergeant. In addition I have started building a second Marshal/Castellan with his Sword Brethren (I know a Castellan cant have SB but game wise he can so fluff wise he is always a marshal). These guys are all in Mk III armour with crests, the marshal is the Master of the Arsenal model which will have some moifications and magnets, the apothecary is also the Mk II armour from FW. Some of the models will also be used as the veterans/sergeants for the Close Combat Crusader squads and in Tyrant's Legion list, the Sergeants for the Retaliators and Legion Cohorts. Once these ones are done that will give me three Marshals with their associated Sword Brethren and an attached Chaplain: Mk III: Master of Arsenal Marshal, 8 Sword Brethren Command Squad, 1 Apothecary, 4 Sergeants leading Crusader Squads, attached Chaplain Death Watch: Inquisitor conversion marshal, 8 Sword Brethren Command Squad, 1 Apothecary, 5 SB Fire Support squad, attached Chaplain TDA: Terminator Marshal, 8 Sword Brethren Terminator Command Squad, 1 Apothecary Terminator, 5 SB Terminator Squad, attached Terminator Chaplain. I am pretty happy with our the squads have matched up nicely and provide a bit of uniform in the setup. I will probably give each Marshal a Caestus Ram (of which I still need to build two more). Now that Chaplains on bikes are an actual viable option, my old attack bikes, which are chaplains on bikes, need to be replaced with real attack bikes so that the Cahplains can be used. So I have ordered a half dozen from Chapterhouse, I think they are going to work nicely with the current jetbikes. And lastly I am going to add another 5 man assault squad giving me a total of 3 five man assault squads or merging them to make two larger ones. Oh and I got two Dreadclaws... just going to use them as regular Drop Pods, that just look cooler! Onto the pics of the new Marshal in progress and his Sword Brethren, I have used the Mk III armour boies from the Rapier crew and will attach crests to the marshal and apothecary soon. http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/002-40.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/003-41.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/001-39.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3135324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Still plodding along putting together Bolter Marines, but I got a little side tracked when I managed to get hold of some cheap Terrain; managed to but four of the statues from the Honoured Imperium set really cheap and after looking at them, I think I should be able Templarfy them reasonably easily. This then got me thinking of trying to build some form of Fortress again, after missing out of getting hold of the impressive Hirst Arts one earlier in this thread. I initially started looking making one out of Bastion kits and suchlike and then started liking the idea of a 'Star' Fort, the style of forts which came into use during the cannon age. By having a four 'pointed' star fort it became very Templarish and the design shape has really locked into my mind, similar to the below: http://cdn.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1214/fort_1916537.jpg Following on from that, I thought it would be pretty cool to have the middle of the Fortress as a Landing pad, using a skysheild land pad to represent Crusade ships coming and leaving the outpost. Additionally I could then put the four statues at each of the four points. However making this into reality (for someone who really sucks at arts and craft) started proving to be a serious trial... until: This is a fully break down, collapsible building, each corner can come apart and folds down like a collapsible crate, likeiwse the middle does the same. However the size is pretty huge, the squad in the middle is to represent the Skysield landing pad... a 12" x 12" square! I am now thinking I might replace the central landing pad with a bastion, and then put four (!) landing pads arrayed around the bastion, as I think there will be just enough space. Also looking at using the BT Dreadnought sarcophegus cover as Firing Point style windows. Still sticking with the idea of the four statues on each point. However this will be a truly huge fortress, from point to point it will be close 4'. BUT, since it is modular, I could play with any number of the bastion 'points' or the central keep, then in large Apoc games or scenarios where the fortress is attacked I can use the entire thing. Side note: For those that have been watching my threads and Crusade, you will know that the influence of chaos has been growing stronger, starting with a few chaos weapons, then some chaos heads for my chaplains, I have now included Dreadclaws as Drop Pods and a large number of chaos weapons throughout (even considered adding a Chaos Titan, which isnt off the cards). I suspect that the reason the first Star Fort above caught my eye is that the moment you add in another set of smaller cross points, you get a very chaos looking star..... ;) -Dono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3139847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we, the Black Templar, are the only truly loyal Chapter..... nah LEGION left in the imperium apart from those few who will side with us.

Honda Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Brother, It is one thing to question the motives of our fellow chapters due to the tools they use to supposedly prosecute the Emperor's will. It is another thing entirely to employ tainted tools and point to their transgressions as justification. Speak not of the spec of wood in their eye before removing the plank in yours. Such justifications would lower you to the level of the heretical, witch-lover Relictors, the Emperor, Dorn, and Sigismund damn their eternal souls. You know what is good and what is right. You need not wonder. Truth is self-evident. Be strong in the face of temptation. Anyone can yield to weakness. It takes true strength to stare down damnation and choose to walk the path of righteousness. Honor your chapter and your brothers. No Remorse, No Pity, No Fear, Brother. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3141024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Built a heap more Bolter Marines bringing the total to 30 now, just waiting of another 10 in the mail so I can finish off the 40, the last ten will be the Heavy Weapon and special weapon guys. Then start work on the new Marshal and his Sword Brethren. Nothing really special about the Bolter Marines, here are a few which were posed a little differently thanks to the wonderful bending nature of Resin after being heated with a hair dryer. I really like the way the two guys reloading the bolters have turned out, I was tempted to do more but I think just the odd special here and there makes it look better. http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/008-23.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/007-26.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/006-27.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/005-31.jpg -Dono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3141514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono1979 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Since I am waiting on some more models, I started playing around with ideas for the terrain again, following from the Star Fortress I started planning the layout of the top section. It will be a modular building made up of five parts, when assembled together will make a four pointed Star Fortress. Each point will have a Statue (from the honoured imperium) converted to be BT, whilst the middle will house a bastion and four (!) landing pads. So suffice to say it is a huge piece of terrain. Again keeping in mind though that the fortress will be able to break down and be playable with just one, two or how many ever components. The below are pics of the Fortress design, the square on the top is a 30cm x 30cm scale slot which represents a landing pad. The pics below that are the layout of the landing pad and bastion which sit on TOP of the fortress. Point to point the fortress will be 4' x 4' I'm actually thinking I might need to build a double height Bastion ? http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/009-22.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/010-18.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/012-13.jpg Following on from the Fortress, the next piece of large scale terrain I am planning is going to incorporate the Forge World Trench system I have. I have played around with a LOT of combination and have finally come across one which really appeals to me and works with the theme. Basically it is a landing pad in the side of a hill with the Trench system working its way through the hill. Imagine the landing pad dug part way into the side of the hill. Then a few trench walkways going deeper in to create a line of defense for the pad and any unloading flyers. Where the Bunker is I am going to have a round bunker house which is only accessed via the trench (pic on the bottom). Again this is a pretty big piece and is probably 3'x3'. It will however be something which other bits of terrain like razorwire and forests can be placed over. http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/019-9.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/016-13.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/017-11.jpg http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss62/dono1979/018-10.jpg http://www.games-workshop.com/images/B-96.jpg -Dono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212277-kildrech-crusade-modeling-diary/page/9/#findComment-3141529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 First off, this project is rather amazing, but we've come to expect that of your crusade. :) Where I am a little confused is how the trench bits go together with the fort. Initially, I got that the four landing pads are "spoked" out from the Bastion and that these items are then sitting on top of a raised structure (the star part). What's not clear is how that connects to the trenches as it would seem like they are much lower than the fort. So...are the trenches radiating off of each point and that any troops would emerge from an underground tunnel that, on one end opens to the trenches while the other end allows entry into the fort? Also, saw a video of this and after seeing your Caestus parked on the landing pad, thought you might want to consider. We Yanks have mounted the Phalanx vulcan mini-gun system onto a truck bed and use it to intercept incoming missiles and artillery. It's pretty interesting to watch on Youtube. So after seeing the Caestus (...myyyy precioussss...) on the pad and not wanting to see a few jerks with some mortar tubes mess up it's day, it occurred to me that by mounting some Storm Raven turrents equipped with assault cannons, you might prevent that from taking place. You could situate the AC turret on the tip of each point of the star. Any way, that was just a little brainstorming juice leaking out. Looking foward to seeing more progress on this.
