HJL Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So here is my latest project. Its been on my mind now for almost a year. Tell me what you think. How can i improve it etc? Sorry for the pic. My usual camera has crapped out. This is my really old one. here are the rules i wrote up (not my work on the picture, borrowed it from one of the links in the DA section) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246879-predator-executioner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Terrus Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think it's pretty well done as is, has a sort of 'about to fire' feel to it! And for improvements...maybe add a marine or two here or there to give it a bit more posed feel. Perhaps if you wanna stick with the almost firing idea, maybe a tank commander pointing to a target on the horizon?

Tengo Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 That's pretty kickass dude, the main way to improve on it? Get 'em ready for mass production for your brothers here at the rock! :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246879-predator-executioner/#findComment-2988673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven2544 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Good Morning, I like it a lot. I've been kicking around the idea myself, and seeing it so well executed makes me want to give it a shot. The things I would reconsider: * Its availability to all Astartes chapters. I think it should be unforgiven only. (If the BA can have their Baal, we should be able to have this one.) * The "one per army" restriction seems unnecessary. Based on the points cost, the restriction seems arbitrary. GW has gone away from the 0-1 choices in many of the recent codex books. So, unless it is "Unique" the restriction seems ... tacked on. * It's a predator. There is no reason for it to have structure points. These are just my initial impressions. It's a very nice conversion, and there is definitely a place for it (or, there is in my army). Thank you for your time. Very respectfully, --Forsaken Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246879-predator-executioner/#findComment-2988792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJL Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I wonder why i gave it a structure point... i agree though it shouldnt have any. The 0-1 was to signify its rarity. Ill try and get more pics but as i said my camera sucks.

EPK Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 You can start by painting over that notorious little traitor's name. I kid... I would like to see the barrel drilled out on the main cannon. I'm torn on the 0-1 limit but I do like it as DA only. I'd like to say it is rare or unique, but that cannon is employed by the Imperial Army easily enough.

HJL Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I dont hae any way to drill the barel in a rectangular way. I am unwilling to ruin it by hacking at it either Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246879-predator-executioner/#findComment-2989010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose you could give the area you painted to look like plasma energy a little more depth or something. But that's just a minor nitpick, so feel free to disregard. I think it's a fine model.

Brother Baphomet Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Five str 7 blasts? Ouch! Brilliant concept, certainly not undercosted or anything - might have to think about making one of these myself :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246879-predator-executioner/#findComment-2989277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
