Biohazards WIP projects

[Montuhotep]

Yeah? How'd you think I feel about knowing what came before them?

[Biohazard]

Haha very true. Just ordered my Oppressor Treads and a couple of other bits for the Shadowsword. The Decimator conversion could well be the way I go thanks to Paladin7221 :D

[Brother Heinrich]

Those oppressor treads are whats up man, love those things. Just don't buy the Rhino size, they're a PITA.

[Montuhotep]

I serve.

[Biohazard]

Yeah I have them on my Land Raider and love the look of them. I can imagine them being a bit fiddly on a Rhino chassis though.

[RazakelXIII]

Adeptus Titanicus was before my time, but Lexicanum says Decimators are "armed primarily with a heavy, medium-ranged barrage weapon." I always took that to mean "hey, go mount a Hellcannon on a Baneblade chassis" but then Finecast happened. There's also the basic Banehammer gun with none of the Shadosword-ier attachments, though mounting an Inferno Cannon on it does sound awfully fun.

 

I'd say to just be careful with the superheavy-sized Oppressor treads, but... meh, blood for the Blood God.

[Biohazard]

Thanks Raz ill be sure to watch what im doing with those treads. the LR ones are bad enough :)

Not much of an update as the bits have just arrived and I have to run out the door to work now but this should give people a rough idea of how I'm planning on doing these.

Thoughts?

[HellChyld]

Nice!!

[Biohazard]

Thanks buddy. :)

 

So this happened today. I bought it from a guy at my games club for a really good price especially since its still new on sprue. The possibilities for this are getting me really excited I knew it was going to be corrupted so my first port of call was to Machinator for some of his awesome Oppressor pattern treads. Once they wing their way across the pond ill start the basic build. I've also had a few ideas for either redoing my Blood Stalker or converting another to build a 'Soul Grinder' counts as. This is all while finishing of my Fiend and working on more Obliterators. :) I like to have a few projects in my head at once. Getting time to work on them all is another matter though. :( Fingers crossed though.

Chest mounted flamers I like! The Centurion heavy weapons should have been shoulder mounted from the start and you've executed that excellently. You're doing a good job at reducing my dislike of those models. 

The lasherfiend is looking awesome too, hope your new box of plastic doesn't keep you distracted from it for long  as we all like to see your big gribblies finished. Keep up your mad-Warpsmith tendencies, bud, it's always interesting to see what you come up with.

[Biohazard]

Thanks buddy, funnily enough a Warpsmith is on my 'to build' list as well. :) Just had a word with the Boss (I.e. the girlfriend) and I've been told I've to sort out my hobby table before I start on the Decimator Tank so the Fiend and Centurion will be getting more love before I start on the super heavy. Haha.

 

As for the chest mounted flamers I think they will be a love/hate item on this build but I like the positioning. Also the next Obliterator will have plasma guns there and the third will have meltas just to try and represent all the weapon options. That's the plan anyway.

[NightHunters]

Ah yes, the hobby table, always a contentious issue, thankfully mine has a lid so it hides all manner of sins!

 

Re the chest mounted flamers i am also in the love 'em group, and thanks in no small part to the above I caved and bought some centurions over the weekend so will continue to follow closely 

[Biohazard]

Yeah I'd started to take over the kitchen with all my bitz boxes so was brought back into line haha. I'm glad people are liking the chest flamers, as I say the next guy will have a shoulder mounted assault/autocannon once I find a decent bit. (I'm thinking maybe a Terminator bit could work) and chest mounted meltas. I'm not sure which shoulder weapon to give the 3rd. I think a plasma cannon will be too bulky.

 

Nighthunters, can't wait to see what you come up with for the Centurions.

Edited October 1, 2013 by Biohazard

[Montuhotep]

Short-barrel autocannon would work the best. And short only because a full-length barrel might look a bit off on an 'infantry' model if held horizontally.

[Biohazard]

Yeah that's why I was thinking a Termi bit. It's since compact (ish) design. I looked at using a Chaos Reaper but couldn't quite get it to fit or look right.

 

Here's how it stands at the moment, The second power fist arrived so I can rework the Centurion one. I now need to detail it more but the only way I can really think of doing that without going nuts with gs and spikes would be FW brass etch and I'm a bit too cheap to spend a on that just now. I have an idea for the leg armour ill try out when I get home from work.

[deathspectersgt7]

Can't see the pic's

[Biohazard]

Hopefully that's it fixed mate.

[deathspectersgt7]

Phew needed a plastics fix He looks great. man hate going out on the road.

[HellChyld]

loving the khorne symbol behind the helmet. cant wait to see this finished.

[Jackofalltrades]

I love the flamers coming out of his chest. I can just see this guy dancing left and right flaming anything within range. Really great work!

[RazakelXIII]

The chest-mounted flamers are fething brilliant. I really didn't think it was possible for a Centurion to look this good, anxious to see it finished.

[Biohazard]

Thanks guys, I've ordered bits for the second Obliterator so he has a buddy :) I'm getting close to done with this guy I think just some minor details here and there and he'll be ready for paint.

[Kizzdougs]

The Obliterator is looking suitably awesome! The chest flamers are particularly great. Nice idea with the powerfists as well :)

[Biohazard]

Thanks a lot buddy, hope to have an update of some description at some point tomorrow.
