My interpretation of a landspeeder


Enzephalon

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I finally painted my landspeeder.

As you may or may not know it's derived from a landspeeder storm. I used the crew to create some variation in my scout squads, leaving me with the remaining speeder.

So I bought some plastic card and covered the hatches.

 

I can run it as a typhoon or with 1-2 multimeltas. All the options are magnetized, allthough the second multimelta option (including a marine) isn't painted yet.

 

I consider the speeder/scout squad as my best kitbash/conversion to this point (not including single models like HQ).

It's fairly well executed me thinks, considering the fact that it was my first use of plastic card.

 

I hope you enjoy it!

 

Greetings, Tom

It needs some windscreen wipers ;)

 

Joking aside it's great to see it painted and I quite enjoy seeing your interpretation of all things BA with your conversions :D

You may not be surprised that I considered adding some. ^^

But that was while painting, so a little bit too late.

 

Thank you for your comment though.

:P That is so cool!

 

I'm not too keen on the windscreens though - The painting to achive the effect is great, nothing wrong there, but somethinng about the positioning and/or even the size of the windows feels.... off I guess.

 

Meh, never mind me, the model is pretty sweet. Well done mate.

Sorry mate, but I did have a good chuckle at that.

Love it!

I remember the WIP shots.

The windows are painted on that front surface, right? I might suggest adding a raised ridge/rim around the edge of the windows. It would make them look less painted-on. At the moment the transition from armour plating to glass seems a bit too seamless.

 

Did you finish the scouts from it too?:(

Thanks for the comments and the constructive critique.

It will be no problem to add a proper trim around the window.

 

The scouts are finished too. At least the first squad.

Love the scouts, makes me want to get the LS storm now just to get some. I always hated the no helmet look of generic scouts. I mean seriously what kind of Marine would forget to wear a helmet going into combat. But those defininetly look ready for some CQB action.

I'm totally on your side with this.

Concerning the scouts from the landspeeder storm. I would recommend against using them alone. At least buy another box to mix the parts. The poses of the crew are kind of awkward outside the speeder.

It took a lot of work to achieve some believable poses.

It's also worth it because of the weapon options.

 

On a side note. The helmets are from Pig Iron studios. Just to let you know.
