NightHunters Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Greetings all!Apologies for the sabbatical, I am know the proud genefather to a bouncing 3.5 month old Night Hunters aspirant!So sleep has slowly made a re-appearance in my daily routine and I have found but moments to start another squad, siege shields this time! Fun, but hard to get any kind of pose differentiation. Had to get me some mk3 for the bodies, ideal for this kind of squad, but wanted to use more modern marks on the helmet, using those with "studs" on the brow to link in with the armour. Any who, more as time permits Cheers all.

Biohazard Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) First off Congrats on the little one. My Minion turned 2 last Sunday so I feel your pain when it comes to time management/will to live. Secondly great return to the board, these guys will look great in your scheme, I'm glad you went with the more modern helmets as well. :tu: Edited February 7, 2017 by Biohazard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/38/#findComment-4649490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 This is going to sound kind of weird but... I owe you a huge thank you NightHunters! A little bit less than a year ago I found this thread when searching some random thing in the internet and was amazed by your work. I ran through this pages and liked a lot your army so I checked in what website I was too see if it had more interesting things. I discovered I was on the B&C, a site I had been before reading tactics articles, but I started exploring through it. It was in this way that I started looking through the Work in Progress section, the faction subforums, the Hall of Honour, and liked it so much I decided to create an account to be able to comment. So, basically, it was thanks to your awesome Night Hunters army that I got into the B&C community but oddly enough I hadn't commented on here!!! So I was pleasantly surprised to see this thread and remember all this things when a saw those green hexagons :P! This emotial moment passed, great job on this last squad, breachers will look good with your unique pattern , glad to see you backband consider me suscribed! rednekkboss, NightHunters and foamy248 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/38/#findComment-4649571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Congratulations! Likely you're already sick of all the advice you get from everyone so I'll keep it simple: Put food in one end, Keep the other end clean, Apply plenty of love, And you'll all survive.

sockwithaticket Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Good job on trying to get some dynamism and diversity into your breachers, it's tough given the limitations of the shield poses. Carefully cutting everything off the arm except the fore arm does open up some additional possibilities.Oh and congratulations on that whole bringing a new human into being thing, I guess.

NightHunters Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Evening all! Bio: Cheers fella! it sure is a rollercoster but awesome! The Traitor: Dude, honestly that is awesome! Happy to have been of assistance, it is a great community so delighted to have brought another to the fold so to speak and glad you like the boys in their hex's! DSS7: Sure am fella! Vairocanum: Cheers boss and there will be more! just not regular per say! Kierdale: Many thanks chap! Noted and Agreed. Sockwithaticket: Yep, not easy, and have done that a couple of times, everything bar the hand in fact, and it helps of sure. And thank you, i can recommend it! So the squad is almost done: Am tempted to try and bulk the squad out to 10, But forge world seem to have discontinued this pattern of shield which vexes me greatly! But I also need to scratch the Spartan itch. Non forge world, Just a stretched 40k raider with fun stuff taking some design cues from the original.....should be fun! Also need another PzH 40,000 so there will be much plastic shavings in my future, and some strong words from the wife if I don't get my hoover on! Cheers all!

Vairocanum Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The squad is looking great! Looking forward to seeing the spartan, given your previous work on other tanks like the fellblade.

The Traitor Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I like a lot how the vexila looks, it's much better with a stick of it's own! Also I'm curious to see what you do with the LR Spartan, though I would seriously recommend getting broader tracks from somewhere else.

NightHunters Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Evening all! Vairocanum - Thanks fella and your wish is my command! The Traitor - Yeah, i like the vexila too and we shall see about the spartan, as you will see, the tracks remain..... So with out further ado, this, is SPARTAN! So obviously it is longer than a regular raider, simplest way to do this is the generally accepted method of........adding a road wheel! So now it is longer, then we need to centralise the front weapon mount: Tempted to actually create a manned cupola to sit inside but we shall see. Also have created the first of the sponsons, the Flamehammer battery: Which is of course not legal in gaming terms. but i never saw the point in an assault tank having an almost exclusive anti vehicle load out. So in my mind i figured the quad lascannons are basically two regular god hammers spliced together. to why not mix weapon systems and who doesn't love a gigantic flamer? So clearly lots, lots more to do, but it is a start. The interior will need some love too but thankfully it still disassembles easily so that should be easy enough. Cheers all!

Vairocanum Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The spartan looks great so far! I think a manned cupola would be awesome, coldfyre recently made a manned vindicator that might be good reference (about a third of the page down). Looking forward to seeing what else you do with the spartan!

The Traitor Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Very promising start, the manned cupola would be awesome! I'm curious to see how you fill the huge gap that the enlarging has left, I suppose plasticard will be involved but still making that look flat is going to be a pain...

NightHunters Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 DSS7:They see me rollin, they hatin..... Vairocanun: yeah, coldfure's vindicator is awesome! Will not be going into that detail though, or maybe I will... Traitor: Good question, I am thinking an ablarrive armour brace which will intigrate the sponson mounts akin to the 30k version. Also plasticiard, filler, and sanding, lots of sanding, until flat and even!!

sockwithaticket Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I like the cut of your gib, sir. Long absence, followed by 'hey, guys, I'm back and I'm doing a custom spartan. Oh, it's going to have both giant flamer throwers and pew pew lasers.'Also, thirded on that manned cupola idea.

More on that next time along with how the heck am i going to mount the sponsons. Cheers all!

rednekkboss Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 That is one big target...er, tank! Great plastic card work. Good to see you back at it and congrats on the minion! I have two horriblly sorry looking landraiders I got for free (or parts of 2) I think you might be giving either my inner Warsmith or Big Mek some ideas with this one. There could be looting.

NightHunters Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Afternoon All, Cheeky at work update redneckkboss: Loot away fella, loot away! Vairocanum: Yeah we are getting there, wont be long now! So, been working on the "Spartan" The front weapon mount is almost there, the question is standard Baneblade sponson heavy bolters (obviously converted to Assault cannons) Or with a cyclopean targeter in the middle? And I think we are almost there with the ablative armour bra too. That is all for now, hopefully more over the weekend, once it actually starts! Cheers all!

The Traitor Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It is looking fantastic! About the front weapon I like the second option best, the oversized targeter makes it more unique.

Vairocanum Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I also prefer having the cyclopean targeter as well, cause then it kinda feels like the guns would have a wider spread when firing.

foamy248 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Looking awesome - consider this a sub! Do you know what thickness of plasticard that is, though?
