The Terminators are definitely worthy of riding around in the amazing Land Raider. I thought I'd commented previously on its special doors, but I fear I've been inhaling too many paint fumes as of late. They are awesome. The freehand work on the terminator helmets is also phenomenal.

Comments always welcome :D

Laius really looks like: "I had enough of you heretic - now die" :D As far a c&c I'd chop off the back part of the plama gun in order to make it fit a bit tighter on the mini. Other than that I love the lines on the robes and the detail on the Apothecary (red instead of green). What's the sign on Naophiel's helmet?

 

Forgot to mention: Amduscias is made of pure win! :D

I was thinking about chopping off the butt of the plasma gun but decided against it at the time - it sort of fits for now but I will see if it grows on me.

The helmet detail is my take on an Iron Halo but it ended up as a circle with a small line at the 4 main compass points (I was a little fed up with sword icons by this time!)

 

terminators are lacking some shading in crevices of armor.

 

I will give you that one :)

Here is my ETL vow 4 all complete

C&c welcome as always :lol:

 

Now that the ETL is over for me I will be doing some more projects which have been put to one side....

 

3 Vindicators with some suitable DA icons a la Stormraven.

5 Assault Marines

2 bolter marines to finally complete my 10th Squad

10 Knights of Caliban

Repaint and magnetise all the previous Terminators to the new standard

5 Death company (side project - plan to have fully magnetised options for weapons and Jump/back packs)

 

and quite a bit has stacked up for my Tau readying for the new codex release soon (are you listening GW :D )

 

AND I keep buying stuff - will I never learn :rolleyes:

Your work is great as always - I really like it that now having a power axe makes a difference... brings back happy memories..

 

Anyway congratulations for completing your 4th vow (!) and contributing the sizeable amount of 1,825 pts to the cause! All hail Elmo a true hero of the Rock!!!

 

 

Now regarding your future plans, what exactly is a knight of Caliban? This is intriguing...

If it is, by jingo!! – and so handsome too :P

my new motto: WWED- what would Elmo do!

 

I'm adopting this... :tu:

Here are a couple of up-to-date group shots

Repainting some of the 4th Company at the moment - photo later ;)

Isiah: you may have to wait a little as I am going back and redoing the bright red weapons to bring them in line with the new darker red look. 3rd Squad is now complete.

 

I am also getting rid of the squint on the 2nd Squad Sgt ;)

 

 

As another improvement I have just removed all the arms from my first 4 Terminator squads - these will be magnetised along with the remaining arms from the 5th and 6th Squads to give more variety. I will also be upgrading them to the newer look of the 5th and 6th Squads and adding another 2 Cyclone MLs.

 

Snapping off all those arms brought a little tear to the eye ^_^

 

After all of this is done I will be doing the last 2 marines of 10th Squad - This means that the 4th Company will be fully manned (just short a couple of Rhino/Razorbacks)

 

In the painting queue for the 4th Company is:

 

5x Assault marines

 

3x Vindicators

(does anyone have an idea how I can switch them between Vindies and Rhinos and back again - is it even do-able?)

Elmo, on the Vindicator <-> Rhino idea, I've been pondering something similar, but it would involve magnetizing the front plate and the side armor (unless you don't mind a Rhino with extra armor). I'm not sure how strong (or how many) magnets it would take, as I haven't started on mine yet.

My suggestion for the vindi to rhino is to jump on eBay and buy a spare rhino top plate, should be $10 or so. Then glue the rhino front plate to that. Leave this subassembly unglued to the chassis, all you need to do then is swap over the top plates as necessary.

 

Cheers,

Jon

I think I might be onto a plan after playing around with the sprues last night

 

Just need to add some magnets and sprue braces tonight - the problem may be with getting the top plate and the extra armour side plates of the Vindi to fit snuggly with the corrisponding Rhino parts. And due to the bracing, internal painting won't be an option...

 

I will try to upload some provisional photos on Friday and if it works out I will repeat the process on the next Vindi and add it as a tutorial to my magnetising thread for the "greater good" ;)

 

 

Grotsmasha: Thanks for the suggestion but I am trying to be extra mean and not buy any extra bits at all. This would solve the problem of not being able to glue the headlights onto the Rhino though :D

 

Plus I just bought 200 2x1mm magnets for about $10 for my Terminators and I need to use the remainder somewhere :D

 

 

Edit: The method I am considering would also allow the conversion into a Pred. using the same bits as my magnetised Pred. tutorial. So in theory I would only need to buy the extra sprues to have an interchangable Rhino/Razorback/Pred./Vindi./Whirlwind (how about that for a transformer) :lol:
