Lorenzen Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hass's rules are available on the fw website (space marine update) matthias krueger is much like brom & all the command squad dudes just a part of my overactive imagination that needed to justify having such a badass sergeant :) that and every sarge, dread and character in the army will have a name.. the tanks might too ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223673-fire-angels-2nd-company/page/11/#findComment-3073961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Your models cause endorphins to be released into my brain. Thanks for posting. I was amused.

Lorenzen Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 4am ninja update... I present to you Matthias Krueger: The White Hawk. He is as said a count as model for Veteran Sergeant Haas. http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/151/c/d/krueger_by_typhion-d51ttea.jpg im trying to figure out some fluff for the whole lot of them, theres a basic structure to what im thinking with krueger being a long time friend of broms and something of a legend within the chapter as well (hence his fancy wargear and 2nd wound) nothing overly amazing just lots of dogged determination in hunting down red corsairs and slaying of foes even he knows should've killed him (game wise he's killed a daemon prince of tzeentch and various other crap that shouldve seen him die horribly) anyhoo the white hawk moniker is something i just decided he'd have and is represented by his personal icon a pair of white hawks on his breast plate rather than the chapters usual grey aquilla/aquilla like things.. he needs lots of work done to him. oh and honestly that endorphins comment had me a little worried.. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223673-fire-angels-2nd-company/page/11/#findComment-3074012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzen Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 nothing particularly fancy today.. going out for the night to party with girls in their underwear instead of painting. http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/154/1/d/derptalon_by_typhion-d524rq7.jpg done the majority of the hacking on a storm talon to make it not look drivel.. might still extend the tail, not sure yet.. but here it is next to its big brother and little bit of caestus.. there will be a 2nd talon to come once ive figured out all the changes im making.

The Yak Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 That's a massive improvement already, it looks more balanced having removed the god awful oversized assault cannon mount. Are those the same assault cannons you get with the kit with the casing and 'landing equipment' removed or are they off the landspeeder kit?

Lorenzen Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 yeah its the landspeeder/ravenwing kits assault cannons, cut out the moulded on part of the cannon mount, plasticarded over the hole it left and mounted the cannons to the card & each other. ive brought the missile pods in closer to the body as well by cutting the struts they stick out on down nearly flush with the main body.. was considering ditching them entirely for parts from the contemptor cyclone missile launcher, but decided against it as it would cost money :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223673-fire-angels-2nd-company/page/11/#findComment-3076158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 nothing particularly fancy today.. going out for the night to party with girls in their underwear instead of painting. Shame on you. After seeing the conversion possibilities of the Storm Talon, I might just have to include one or two when I expand my force. Your's looks swagtastic.

Lorenzen Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 you assumed correct raz, decent night all round though my friend ended up with 1st stage hypothermia so he might disagree.. right comp shot http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/155/7/3/talon_by_typhion-d528qct.jpg eagle is about 2x as big as the talon in every way, stated work on extending the tail.. nice and easy, cut the top and bottom parts, moved em back, gonna fill the gap and plasticard it up then smooth out the cuts etc. next one will be neater.. looks much better imho Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223673-fire-angels-2nd-company/page/11/#findComment-3076721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzen Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 rightio tutorial time. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020347.jpg first things first, the assault cannon mount.. EVERYTHING needs to be gone, this includes the molded on bit on the bottom, it stops the cannons from sitting nicely in their little hole. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020349.jpg if you have a sharp enough knife this is easy to do quite neatly, dont hack at it, just decent pressure and work your way around it slowly. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020350.jpg next up we cover the hole this leaves with some plasticard.. im sure you can do a neater circle than me, but its not that important as 99% of it will be covered by the cannons. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020351.jpg the cannons themselves.. these are the only bit of non stock kit used (outside of plasticard and miliput/greenstuff for gap filling) in my case its the land speeder & ravenwing ones as theyre slightly smaller and are opposites of each other. on the side of the cannons you are going to glue together, cut off the "rivets" so they can sit flush next to each other, add plastic glue and line them up neatly wonky cannons wont look good. these are then glued to the plasticard.. thats it for them (you can add a cover to the bottom of them with some plasticard the skid etc etc, but i dont think its necessary tbh. on to the missile pods! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020352.jpg stock picture to start with.. choose how far you want to cut, for me it was about 1mm away from the main body so i didnt have to cut away any of the lower part of the hull to make them sit flush, then cut them with a hacksaw (could use a knife but a saw is quick and painless) http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020353.jpg should end up looking like this.. clean up the fresh cut, then the rocket pods are glued directly to this lining up the top edge of their "mount" with the top edge of the lip on the inside of the pod. tail time! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020354.jpg the tail is easiest to tackle when its apart.. the 1st one was not done this way and has required me to repair it. take a sharp knife and run it in line with the body of the talon several times, the heavier you go with the pressure the quicker itll cut but the more chance you'll warp something. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020355.jpg do this for both sides then glue the kit together as normal and the tail pieces together. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020356.jpg when reattatching the tail i line up the bottom piece 1st so that it starts in line with the 2nd line on the body, then matched up the top to it. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/P1020357.jpg i glued two pieces of plasticard into the space left by the alterations to the tail, depending on how far back you place it will depend on the size & shape needed, but i made mine by cutting a rough shape, holding it up to the talon and marking the "correct" shape onto it.. 2nd one was cut around the 1st. after this i will be using miliput to fill the gaps left by moving the tail, and if you wish to go further you can use it to blend the plasticart into the last piece of the plastic tail. any questions feel free to ask.. pics of the 2 complete ravens will be up soon.
