My DIY Vulkan, Sternguard, and Rhino


Recommended Posts

Alright kids. Here's a few things I've been working on off-and-on for a while. Pictures are kind of crappy, but now all I have left is one last rhino, and I will have a giant photo re-shoot of my whole army for all to see. Thanks for looking!

Wow!

 

I would be most interested in knowing how you made Vulkan's weapon though!

 

I may be mistaken, but the arms and weapon seem to be from the original Grey knight (Aegis) Terminators. The weapon is a "Force" Halberd (I think)

 

I can't find any pictures online of them unfortunately, but I used to have a couple (which I sold with everything else I had at the time :P ), so I'm fairly certain.

 

I love the colour scheme for the Rhino. It's given me a few ideas for my Salamander successor Chapter B)

Hey guys!

 

Thanks for all the kind words! The Vulkan is one of the regular veteran models with the left arm of one of the OOLLLDDD Grey Knights, and matching Nemesis Force Weapon. I cut the storm bolter potion of it off and replaced it with flamer chunks. The right hand is also an old GK hand. Other than that: plastic sea dragon cloak from dark elf corsairs, plastic torch from corpse cart, and plain ol' marine backpack.

 

I don't have the old grey knights any more, but I do still have a bunch of the old weapons, and I use them periodically for special occasions. =]

 

I'm going to attempt to make the next rhino match up with this one, so that from the top, they join together...After that, its on to terminators and land raiders!

 

Thanks again!

It's the Dragon Force!

 

They attack on a cold winter morning in the time before the light. Descending upon flames of death's eternal reign they ride towards the fight.

When the darkness has fallen upon a world, the times are tough, and the sound of evil laughter echos in the world's nights, they arrive fighting hard. Fighting on for the steel through the wastelands evermore!

The scattered souls will see the Hell bodies wasted on the shores.

Into the blackest plains of Hell's domain they watch their enemies as they flee in fire and pain.

 

They fly ever free. They're free before the thunderstorm.

On towards the wilderness their quest carries on.

Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight, deep inside their hearts and all their souls.

 

So far away they wait for the day, and for the light source so wasted and gone.

They feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days, but through the fire and the flames they carry on!

 

As a red day is dawning, and the lightning cracks the sky, they'll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment in their eyes.

Running back through the mid-morning light there's a burning in their hearts. They're banished from a time in a fallen land to a life beyond the stars.

In their darkest dreams they see and believe their destiny this time, and endlessly they'll all be free tonight.

 

And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality, all alone in desperation, now the time has come.

Lost inside they'll never find, lost within their own minds....day after day this misery must go on.

 

So far away they wait for the day, and for the light source so wasted and gone.

They feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days, but through the fire and the flames they carry on!

 

Now here they stand with blood on their hands.

They fought so hard that now they can understand.

They'll break the seal of this curse if it's even possible, for freedom of every man.

 

So far away they wait for the day, and for the light source so wasted and gone.

They feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days, but through the fire and the flames they carry on!

 

 

 

 

Yea. I had to do that. They have a metal mural on their rhino and just scream "Dragon Force - Through The Fire And Flames" to me.

 

And the song makes a pretty awesome background. It tells how they fight, how they lost their homeworld to Chaos. How they're haunted by the loss of their homeworld and constantly dream of the day that they can reclaim their world, and have prophecies regarding the day that it finally happens. How every time they believe they've finally succeeded victory is snatched from them. How they make war on the daemons of Chaos wherever they find them and scour them from the face of a world, forcing them to retreat into the Warp.

How they've become a nomadic fleet-based Chapter.....

 

 

I wonder if every Dragon Force song makes such an awesome Chapter history :P

Ha! I can tell you my theme song is most certainly not by Dragon Force... If I had to pick, I'd say High on Fire would probably be a better fit. Perhaps "Holy Flames of the Firespitter" or "Blessed Black Wings", or perhaps "Fireface". Then, of course, there's always Metallica's "Fight Fire with Fire", or even the Rolling Stones "Play With Fire"... The list goes on and on. Dragonforce is a little too sissy for space marines, though. Maybe if they get another good 20 years under their belts, get some lines in their faces, and some gravel in their throats, I'll be able to take them seriously.

 

Now that I have that out of the way: @ Race Bannon...rip away! I only hope you share it with us when you're done! That's what I love about this forum...being able to steal ideas and show models to my friends so they're impressed, because they don't realize I'm stealing, muahahaha.
