HQ - Chaplain w/jump pack - Librarian w/terminator armor - Commander model - Black Reach Captain (never use this model) Troops - Tactical Squad x 4 Transports - Rhino/Razorback x 4 - Droppod - Dreadnought Droppod Fast Attack - Assault Squad w/jump packs Elites - Terminator Squad - Assault Terminator Squad - Sternguard Squad Heavy Support - "Devastator" squad (sort of, I just mix them into tactical squad, it's not a true devastator squad) - Black Reach Dreadnought - Ironclad Dreadnought - Predator - Land Raider (magnetized sponsons for crusader/redeemer/lascannons) On order - Lysander model I am gonna convert, already have a fancy new shield waiting. - Terminator chaplain - Whirlwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roooooot Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 @alejandrinus, empty choke, Brother Melice: thanks! Random WIP action while I pause my LPC vow for the moment. Finally started my FW drop pod, whipped up the Whirlwind battery for use on my razorback tops and assembled the Rhino chassis it came with and dumped some IG stowage on it that I picked up a while ago. I know the IG stowage doesn't fully make sense, but I like having it all on there. I claim rule of cool! Side view, I ended up stashing the stowage on the side to the top in the end. Made more sense. I feel the drop pod is going to take forever; judging from how long my Land Raider took me, and this thing is an even bigger beast. Plus I mean, considering the cash dropped on it I should probably make it extra awesome and detailed. I am really really really looking forward to weathering my two pods, that's my favorite part of painting vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roooooot Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh my, that text and weathering I am very impressed :lol: Thanks! I wish I could take all the credit for the lettering, but that's all thanks to Forge World Great job! I realy like your lense effect! why is the space marines whirlwind is carrying lazgun? It's those damned lazy IG hanging out in my back field / I had some IG stowage around that I really liked and that's the best cover story I can come up with on the spot.

roooooot Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 1 of 2 magnetized [very much a wip] Land Speeders. I hadn't thought ahead and didn't full magnetize the door sets. There's a magnet on the inside of the doors and I trimmed the outcropping off the typhoon sponsons and drilled through the missile feed (needs some minor green stuff cleanup). One thing I did that I notice after checking some tutorials after the fact is how most people do the flamer/autocannon assembly. Typically they seem to favor just magnetized the entire assembly to the bottom of the speeder, but I built up a weapon attachment strut (?) using green stuff so I can swap just the weapon instead of the whole piece. Never really tried do anything like that before, and I think it turned out pretty nifty. On the second one I'm gonna properly do the doors with some sprue. I had already glued the body together and didn't realize what a pain in the ass trying to affix precisely placed things inside after the fact was going to be. No really biggie though, they are pretty flush to the sides as is, and it's just a minor nitpick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roooooot Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Inspired by Veteran Sergeant's awesome conversion project I decided to take a look at bulking my 5 man Sternguard squad into a proper 10 man unit, without breaking the bank and having two of each model. I'm assembling these guys out of random bits I have with the addition of some Assault Marines sprue action (legs + harness torsos). Here's 2 of 5 so far, just waiting on a bits order for some extra arms and melta's to convert to combi-meltas. I'll probably drop the storm bolter, it was intended as a "heavier weapon than a regular bolter to represent a combi-weapon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Very cool, I've thought the same thing, since I saw that thread. Though a quick question, why use the assault marine harness torso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roooooot Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Very cool, I've thought the same thing, since I saw that thread. Though a quick question, why use the assault marine harness torso? It was the closest pre-made thing resembling a harness like this http://www.zahal.org/files/images/products...o_harness02.jpg that I can stick grenades and ammo pouches to in a similar manner.
