Rob_Loken Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Ha ha I know it's infectious. If Nurgle wrote books it'd be the IA books. Machinepriest - It's not showing in the photos but everything bar the backpack exhausts has an edge highlight of 50/50 Mithril Silver and Shining Gold, but for some reason it just doesn't want to show up in the photos. Maybe its camera shy. That said I might bring up the very edges as close to silver as possible. Cheers for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinepriest Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Oh, well my mistake then ;) Metallics are notoriously hard to photograph. What's next for the army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Haha it doesn't help that my lighting conditions aren't exactly the best. :lol: Next is a squad of Termies to go with Huron. I'm gonna equip a tactical squad with a Teleport homer and whack 'em in the Razorback. I'm thinking of going with a Heavy Flamer as I want Huron and his men to get up close nice and quickly so fire seems the way forward. That or the Cyclone Missile Launcher. Oh and theres another Rhino to go plus a Whirlwind (that I've yet to buy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 As I said before I don't know much about Atrawl claws back ground or combat tactics....but if fluff is what you're going for then heavy flamer with your termie squad as Huron himself has one....but CML are a massive investment as u basicly have 3 ranged weapon choices from one termie....krak missles, frag and of course storm bolter.

Alpimarine Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Very good!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Cheers mate. Dorns_Fist @ I gotta say I'm leaning towards the heavy flamer. As I'm getting a Whirlwind I guess a Cyclone isn't essential (but they are fun). Maybe I'll push up to 2 Terminator Squads when I expand. On a side note I played my first game with them tonight and they did pretty well (against codex marines) I used the Captain rather than Huron, and it turns out he can dole out the pain. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hey folks and folkettes. I just finished the Squad Leader of my Retaliator (Assault) Squad. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2331.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2334.jpg Cheers for looking Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nice, good to see another Astral Claw. ^_^ Btw; is it just me or is he leaning back a little? :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Cheers man. Yeah he's leaning back a bit. He's bellowing at an unseen enemy. That's my excuse any way haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Cheers man. Yeah he's leaning back a bit. He's bellowing at an unseen enemy. That's my excuse any way haha. Heh, to me he looks like he's checking something out, in a "Hey guys, what the hell was that?" style. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Aha maybe he thought he saw a Charcharadon. Would make me say that. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Really nice painting you've done. I really like the quartering on the shield as well :P Are you using the Tyrants Legion list or the normal SM one? Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Cheers Vulkan my plan is to use C:SM in GW and the Tyrants list in the LGC. Best of both worlds cause the Retaliators can double up as assault marines quite easy. Though they'll have a chaplain with em for codex use.

tyrannosaurus Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Looks superb, nice face - I reckon he's got his mouth open leaning back cuz he's hawking up getting ready to spit in the face of some loyalists The quartering is great, but my favourite parts are the gold bits, especially on the chest eagle - your metals are looking great ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hahaha that sounds like something an Astral Claw would do actually. Cheers man, I'm just putting together the rest of his squad today and I went out and bought a Finecast Techmarine. I gotta say that stuff is fairly impressive the manager showed me the bending trick on a hive tyrant and I was quite blown away. And he tied a sprue frame in knots.

Rob_Loken Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Cheers man, I'm building up quite a sizeable force now. Not bad considering it's all pilfered from my Bitz box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 So I painted up a Dissection Servitor today. He's for my Corpse Taker when I get round to adding one. I'm also throwing it into a local painting contest at the GW in Cheltenham. I was going to do the Techmarine but there's way too much to do and I work long days. So I figured this guy would do being that the competition is for Finecast minis only (plus the servitors are the only parts that didn't need work done to them). http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2376.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2377.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2378.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2379.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 He's a beauty, really like the flesh colour and the fade to pink where the metal tentacles are coming out as if those bits are sore. Good luck in the comp :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Cheers mate glad you like him. I'm not expecting much as there are some rather good painters around Cheltenham but I figured it'd be a laugh. I'm gonna paint up 2 more as Dissection Servitors then all I need is an Apothecary, but I'm still not sure how useful an Apothecary attached to servitors is if they don't grant feel no pain and furious charge to units within 6 inches is. Haha been playing as Blood Angels for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Finished up my Apothecary and a 2nd Assault Marine tonight. Just need to paint the bases but otherwise all done. The Corpse Taker needs one more Dissection Servitor and he'll be set. Now just waiting on my FW goodies and my Terminators (come on Wayland!). http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2381.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2383.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Love the corpse taker - good kitbash there. That second guy, he's an old SW model, isn't he? 2ed if I'm not mistaken... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronk Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 For those that haven't seen it, Forge World has new Astral Claws bits. So far, there are Rhino parts, Land Raider parts, PA and Terminator Shoulder pads. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/large/astralcpads2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Cheers Olisredan he is indeed an old Space Wolf, starting to run low on models so I've resorted to using some old models that I found in my bits box. Fortunately he's not too small as to look totally out of place amongst the plastics. U also have to of the old 2nd Edition snap together plastics should I need to but there is a height discrepancy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
