Newobmij Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 So I've been trying to get back into 40k after I sold the majority of my Space Wolves army last year. I still had two squads of Grey Hunters, scouts and a Rhino left over, but this was nowhere near enough to start playing again. So I bought another Grey hunters box and built myself a Wolf Lord, Rune Priest, some Power Armored Stormbolter Wolf Guard, and five TW Calvary. But something was still missing. I got a Long Fangs squad from Ebay, but I needed some vehicles. Enter the fact that I loves me some papercraft. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z291/trogdoriangrey/paperdreadnought.jpg Articulated Paper Dreadnought next to my Wolf lord and a Wolf Guard with Stormbolter http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z291/trogdoriangrey/paperhammer40k2.jpg Land Raider with rotating sponsons and heavy bolter turret. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z291/trogdoriangrey/paperpredator.jpg Predator Annhialator with my second dreadnought and some Grey hunters. Now, I eventualy plan on replacing these with the actual models, but for now nobody's complaining since it takes people a while to even figure out that they're not plastic. The basic templates were made by Patoroch, and edited to print with Space Wolf colors and logos. There was an issue with scale and some parts not lining up on the dreadnoughts and Predator i had to fix as well, but other than that, this patoroch guy has put a hell of a lot of effort into making these models.

asmodai650 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Those are some of the best paper 40K vehicles I have seen built. Awesome! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213998-scratch-built-vehicles-papercraft/#findComment-2546795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Those look so good, made 3 drop pods once and it wasnt the right size either =) It was a hell of a job so i take of my hat for you brother Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213998-scratch-built-vehicles-papercraft/#findComment-2546917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonaides Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Very nice templates there, but just to be on the safe side I'd best just point to the B&C rules in case someone slips up and the mods have to step in. But I take my hat off to you, I only ever manaed to put 3 drop-pods together, and they didnt look as convincing as these. Paper Templates: Paper templates are a cheap and some would say easy way to get some structures, vehicles and other model aspects built for gaming. GW however frowns on templates which too closely mimic their IP (and rightly so). Some things to keep in mind:The B&C does not condone using paper templates that mimic GW models. You can talk about making use of them but offering them to others or requesting them from others is not allowed. You cannot host your templates on the B&C. Those who are found to have uploaded them to their user gallery, BLOG or other B&C resource location will have the templates removed and risk losing access to those areas of the website.

Newobmij Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 This is why I'm not linking to them or posting them here. B&C doesn't have to condone it and GW can frown all they want, but if making some paper tanks can get me back in to the game faster, then that's what I'll do. Also, don't think that just because its paper its going to be fast and easy. It took me over 6 hours to build the predator and I've been building and designing paper models for years. The thin barrels, tiny parts (some of which have no tabs to glue) and layering of the armor parts requires a lot of painstaking attention to detail.

Glimpse the Void Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Nice work! I'd love to try a dreadnought. I like dudes templates, and used one as the basis for my carboard raider. Not finished yet, but I'm proud of it. The guns and driver are the only plastic bits used. The rest are http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/10/8/145802_sm-.JPG I've also had mixed results with drop pods/ http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/6/13/112824_sm-Space%20Marines,%20Space%20Wolves,%20Terminator%20Armor.JPG I'm looking forward to trying some aircraft one of these days.

Newobmij Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Funny story, but as it goes my local hobby store everybody plays WH40k at doesn't seem to mind me playing with card stock models at all. I buy all my 40k minis from them, so they still get money from me out of it. At first, they were a bit skeptical, as they were afraid I'd start making models for other people to use, which would cost them a bit in sales (I don't sell the models I build, but sometimes people can make tempting trade offers). Last week I gave out a dreadnought to one of the kids watching a game and the shop owner told me later that the kid came back with his dad and bought a bunch of stuff from the store to start his own army. So now the shop says they'll even let me use the card models in tournaments provided I give out an occasional model to a new player every now and then.

Let's hope this attitude catches on in GW. Also, I honestly think your models are fantastic. Post some more pics whenever you make more. They are a pleasure to look at. :tu: N.B.: I just noticed. It's my 1000th post! Hurray :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213998-scratch-built-vehicles-papercraft/#findComment-2557425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 yeah we all want the card dread back from the old starter kit =P But good show on giving a dread to someone, I made one pod i gave away, and i never will again, there over 12 hours in building and cutting time, never again (build 3 in my life before the plastics came out) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213998-scratch-built-vehicles-papercraft/#findComment-2557462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newobmij Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Dreadnought w/ assault cannon took me three hours on both models Land Raider takes 3-4 depending on how much detail I want to put into it (I've built 2 now, and the second version has 3-ply cardstock to make the outer hull plates noticeably raised. Predator took 5 hours and fifteen minutes of nonstop work (timed from start to finish). Ork Killa Kans take about two hours each. I'm building three of them and a def dread for an Ork player who's buying me a box of SW terminators from the store in return. Anything based on a Rhino is going to eat up lots of time working on all the wheels and tread sections. I may try to go in and edit a quick tread pattern to eliminate a lot of extra work.
