NightHunters Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Evening all, quick update: Been working on the area around the scout bike on the hoist. and have always loved this old techy, and he just fits in beautifully! I really like how these two are working together, hopefully it comes across on the pictures! Cheers all FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/13/#findComment-3184223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Love that Techmarine! As to the interplay of the characters: "It's the muffler, I tell you. It's got to be." "Quiet, whelp, you know nothing of the machine. Hmmmm, now. Where on this here schematic does it show where I need to belt this thing?"

NightHunters Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Paladin7221: Ha, exactly brother!! On to what is sitting on the desk at the moment. Now first things first, this is NOT my idea, i have shamelessly copied brother Rottimus, have a look at his thread here: Counts as Storm Raven etc Now for me, I just loved the idea. The perfect counts as Storm Talon for the Night Hunters, in game terms it is a little big, but hey, that is not a benefit with true LOS. e Thus, may I present the Storm-Hog, Night Hunters designation Fw-10 "Wuerger" First fit done, now down to the nitty gritty of greenstuffing, filing, filling, and adding of rivots etc. oh joy. Cheers all! FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/13/#findComment-3191745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 are you at least going to do a crew chief to check his AC over before he takes off?

Sh0sen Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Your diorama is really coming together, cant wait to see it finished! The new flyer is great too. You've build the tonka toy looking Stormtalon into something worthy of fielding!

NightHunters Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Cheers guys! interkino: too kind mate, but to be clear the flyer is Rottimus' design, this is just a bare faced copy :) but none the less I agree, GW should defo take a look at it! War angel: well there will be a rather laid back looking pilot, probably with white red and black detailing on his helmet, maybe with the work "Maverick" on the helmet ( unlikely) or just below the canopy ( more than likely)...... Shusen: and thanks to you brother! Also been wondering what else I can mount under the wings. Thinking a couple of Auto cannon in the angle under the " Shoulders " could work with missiles under the wings, maybe some AFT hung as well, we shall see, ideas on this welcome! More soon FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/13/#findComment-3192870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just noticed the handshake marines in your diorama, thats awesome! :D Great work on the Wuerger, the auotocannon and missiles idea sounds good.

NightHunters Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Evening all! Biohazard: Thanks brother, they were a nightmare to get right! And have been working on the autocannon and missiles.... War Angel: Actually thinking he may get the honours on no.2, but may be a bad omen, maybe Viper would be better..... On to the Autocannon and missiles: Pretty happy with these, the magazine positioning isn't perfect but the talon HB mags fit perfectly into the ravens wing vents. Also a quick pic of Maverick himself, really wanted the pilot to get the archetypal jet-jock look and found these helmets, epic! Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Deathknight2000: Ha! Thanks brother but actually this only cost £10 in bits + the talon so not that bad (not including the plasticard) but it really is all about the bits, lots and lots of bits! bought in bulk usually helps.

NightHunters Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 War Angel: You my get your wish on the "Storm Raven" I have planned brother! Been pilling greenstuff into the hog and it is coming together well, if I do say so myself... But I am struggling with these 2 areas, can't quite figure out what to put here and don't want to leave it empty! Any ideas much appreciated, cheers chaps!

Biohazard Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) My first though would be the ammo crates from the Predator turrets. Like the one unused at the back of my Gorehoind head. (Ill throw a pic in here of the bit I mean when I get a chance) I think it from the Baal pred. Can't wait to see this bad boy painted though. You can see it at the bottom of this pic. That any good for ye? Or if you have any Land Raider power pants kicking around cut the middle section out and th etwo exhaust covrs can give you an interesting looking bit. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Biohazards%20Worldeaters/77BC9A9B-8CD8-4FC4-9050-2406A88E70E4-14752-0000107ADE588F48_zpsa46623f6.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/F0DBB6C1-1B53-4A5C-B19E-2865E3115C18-24936-00001B79A784D82C.jpg *ps sorry for jacking your thread with pics but I couldnt really think of a way to describe it* Edited October 16, 2012 by Biohazard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/13/#findComment-3210727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Cheers for the input Biohazard, great bits! But sadly I wasn't very clear, I was talking about the little vertical areas, my bad :lol: ! Have come up with the following made from Landraider flamer sponsons, not 100% on them but best I can come up with.... And painting will commence as soon as the bitz delivery containing the autocannon missing from the right shoulder location arrives and the final bit of greenstuffing is done! None the less, here's a shot showing the underslung missiles. That's all for this evening, Cheers all!

Squeaky Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Im jealous of you in once sense the detail on those figures is amazing and id love to have the patience and parts to do all the little bits here and there you've done but sod having to paint that scheme it drive me geometrically insane, but looks gorgeous none the less keep up to wonderful work so i can droll more.

Wicced Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Must be your faith in the corpse emperor bedazzled mind, my comment was related to his fw 10 wuerger designation, wuerger means strangler :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/13/#findComment-3212816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Squeaky: Many thanks brother! And yeah, given a chance I would probably not use the hexagons again but I now have sooo much painted up like this ( certainly in excess of 10,000 pts) and thus zero inclination to start on another major army, and any way, I have learnt to love it :D Wicced: And thanks to you brother! On the name I certainly am aware of the German and actually nabbed it from the Focke-Wulf 190, which the allies called "Butcher Bird", (the same bird in German is called a Wuerger). It also had a ground attack version in the F type of the aircraft. But Heathens is quite right the Hog bit and the -10 are stolen from the Fairchild Republic Thunderbolt II. To be honest I think the formal identification will be: " Unofficial Storm talon variant, Night Hunters designation FW-10 "Wuerger". Design attributed to tech magos Rottimus." Or Stormhog to its friends.......not that is has many. And would love to see a flight of the real thing on a live fire exercise coming in "Danger Close" :lol: Edited October 21, 2012 by NightHunters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/13/#findComment-3213307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
