Machinepriest Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 That's one awesome tank! Really loving the huge icon on the dozer blade. Can't wait to see it with weathering. Also, what green is that? It looks a bit more like the old Dark Angels green from way back.

Cactus Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That's a superbly detailed vindicator Elmo. You've made it look much more interesting than I thought possible for such a boxy design. I'm especially fond of the little scripts decorating the techmarine. Now I see Mk3 armour - very exciting!

Wraithwing Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Wow, I'm very jealous of that company Elmo! Lovely stuff.

What is next on the table for you? Carry on Sir. stobz Thanks Brother Stobz. Not too worried about the twists and turns of what is in fashion this edition. I am not really a tread head or footslogger, the plan from the start was to build the 4th Company. Next to the painting corner will be my HH Knights of Caliban - just been cleaning up the resin in the last couple of days and this will double as my Nov vow and a part of Capt. S's great plan. 1 - 10 man tactical squad with melta and Plasma cannon (old school). Unfortunately I am also committed to doing a bit on my Tau with 3 XV8s and 3 XV88s conversions planned in the next couple of months. So far they are unbeaten in 6E :D Hence my low output of DA at the moment. But - there are more DA in the pipeline..... 3 LE DV box sets 8 RW bikers 2 Attack bikes so plenty to do ;) @ Wraithwing: I know what you mean - my painting queue is getting stupid now. Must stop buying stuff :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239000-elmos-1st-2nd-4th-and-10th-companies/page/10/#findComment-3220876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhg033 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 great stuff here elmo (looks in the corner of the room at a certain red kids toy and starts humming 'elmo's gonna rock') love the tanks - making me want to paint up all the rhino's, whilwinds and the pred i've got sitting around. maybe for a ptr vow later...... love the 'drive closer...' tank commander :P think this everytime i see sammael in a speeder as an aside - always confused/concerned me that the vindi is caring a shell outside the tank. i can understand having the grapple for helping loading (despite the armoured marines being easily able to lift the rounds) but the placement doesnt suggest its useful for loading the cannon plus having a live highly explosive round outside where any one who can point a gun can shoot it just seems daft.

Cactus Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Did I forget to say how stunning these look? It appears I did, but I've said it now. I love Mark II and III power armour and in black they really look like angels of death. Great use of the twiddly bits from the veteran sprue. -_- Are the plasma cannon and meltagun(?) from Forge World? I don't recognise them but then I haven't scrutinised all the weapon packs.
