elmo Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks liberame. It should be getting some paint slapped on it next week and it is just a shame I won,t be able to add it to SGs competition unless we get another extension ;) Edited January 15, 2014 by Elmo9141 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/14/#findComment-3569505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ah Rhino looking good. Now shell proof <_<. I like the idea of the dismounted RW. Nice models too. Which armour Mk are they - I always get confused with all those Forge World HH models :/ Cheers I Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/14/#findComment-3569509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Rhino/Razorback is all glued together now and will be getting its base spray on the weekend. The Ravenwing Black Ops torso and legs are now painted and I will post some photos tomorrow when I get back to my photo booth :) Plan for next week is to try to complete the Rhino!

plasmaspam Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 A question that is bothering me is "Has any one tried to chop the pulpit off the Darkshroud?" I want one but I can't stand the pulpit. I want to move the gunner back into the cockpit rather than being perched out front. It just does not look right to me I've created one out of a Darkshroud and a normal Speeder, pretty predictable if you can picture it in your head. Currently unpainted but will post a pic if you want to see it.

Bryan Blaire Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'd actually like to see it. Trying to figure out exactly how to do it has been one of those "remain on the fence" things for me.

Currently unpainted but will post a pic if you want to see it. Yes please - it will give me some idea as to what it may look like if I decide to go for it :) As promised here are the WIP pictures of my dismounted Ravenwing The fluff is that there are always places where it is just not practicable to ride their metal steeds.... Dismounted Ravenwing Black Ops http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/017/1/6/wip_dismounted_ravenwing___black_ops__1__by_elmo9141-d72j8u8.jpg http://th08.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/017/a/c/wip_dismounted_ravenwing___black_ops__2__by_elmo9141-d72j965.jpg They are pretty much done - just a little more personalisation and a little more weathering but I will do that when they are fully assembled. The decals where a pain as I had to cut each one in half due to the way the pauldron is designed but it worked out ok. The figures are very highly detailed and I would recommend them as an alternative to FW HH figures. The only downside is the limited poses but you get loads of little detail pieces such as magazines/pouches/sights/goggles etc so you could play around a little. The Rhino/Razorback is in the sprayshop so I will post some WIP shots once the paint is dry :) Pyro X and Galthan Ironsturm 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/14/#findComment-3571651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Trying my hand at a little fluff to explain why they are not mounted on their bikes.. It was dark, that special dark you get where you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Harrington paced slowly; time seemed to drag. It was always the same on the graveyard shift. That special time of night reserved for the unlucky and the nocturnal animals on this gods forsaken world.He cursed himself at getting picked for this duty. The Dark Warrior had chosen him due to his earlier failings at weapons drill. The monstrously oversized man could have killed him but something had stayed his wrath and that in itself was unusual enough to give Harrington a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.The Dark Warrior had turned, his robes drifting apart showing glimpses of coal black armour underneath. His dark eyes burrowed into Harrington’s mind like a worm into a rotten apple making Harrington squirm uncomfortably. It was not his fault the weapon had jammed. It was just bad luck or faulty ammunition. “That was it,” he thought “it was the Dark Priests fault.“ For this Harrington had been banished to a month on the graveyard shift. But still, it was better than the alternative.Now in the final hours of his punishment, Harrington just wished for it to be over. To be allowed to sleep at night instead of the endless pacing round and round the compound.A noise disturbed him from his thoughts. A small noise like the serration of grass in the wind but the night was still. He looked around, opening his eyes as wide as they could go, trying to scrape every particle of luminescence he could from the faint starlight. Something caught his eye, a darker patch in the night, close by and moving. It must be the Dark Warrior checking on him. He had done it on previous nights, trying to catch Harrington out or just prowling for his own secretive purposes.The figure moved, the black armoured form, large and menacing approached. It must be the Dark Warrior; no normal man was of his size. A glint of silver, a warm feeling on Harrington’s neck as he slowly collapsed to the ground. The blades edge was so sharp he did not even realise it had ended his existence till it was too late.Bending down to wipe the blade on the heretics clothing, Brother Sgt Neria of the Ravenwing motioned for his brothers to come forward. The way ahead was clear and the members of his squad quickly took advantage of the opening. They had left their bikes two days march away; the terrain had been unforgiving for motorised transport with deep gullies, swamps and wide rivers. Also the chance of detection from the many surveillance devices was so high that Neria had decided the only thing to do was to continue the mission on foot. This was not normal procedure for the Ravenwing but had been known to happen previously as situations like this dictated.His brothers where utilising chest rigs, weighed down with extra ammunition, grenades and other equipment normally secreted on their metal steeds but it had to be done if they had any chance of catching their primary target off guard. The fabled Dark Warrior had arrived on planet six months ago and had already established a small army and a significant base of operations.Chaplain Ketheriel had told Neria of the importance of his mission. He was to scout ahead for a possible Chaos Marine polluting the planet with his heretic preaching, locate the base and call the Deathwing to do their duty. The Chaplain had stressed that Neria was to take any steps necessary to complete the task and so he found himself far from his bike.Even now the Deathwing waited aboard the Strike Cruiser, encased in their Terminator armour, expecting his signal to teleport down and strike.Brother Sgt Neria was humbled to have been chosen to lead this mission and he would ensure that it succeeded no matter what he had to do to accomplish it.

RebG Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) A question that is bothering me is "Has any one tried to chop the pulpit off the Darkshroud?" I want one but I can't stand the pulpit. I want to move the gunner back into the cockpit rather than being perched out front. It just does not look right to me Not sure if I can make the image work from my phone but here's a couple from Throne of Skulls late last year: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9t0wfx2oty54dck/2013-11-09%2009.20.10.jpg The one on the left needed a plasticard rebuild - the Vengeance and regular speeder are different sizes (former being wider and slightly differently angled). The right one is mine; I built a mini-turret in place of the pulpit. Kinda hard to see with the 50% paint job Nice work with the Ravenwing on foot, got a squad of them on my to do list. I'm thinking of using a couple of (very) old bikes and a broken land speeder as wrecks as my aegis defence line, manned by the troops who's bikes have been detroyed Edited January 22, 2014 by RebG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/14/#findComment-3575751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wow, just earlier today I was wondering how a vengeance would look if you removed both the pulpit and the stained glass and tried to hybridize the visual of a vanilla speeder with the vengeance. The result is pretty spectacular looking. Honestly Elmo, I think that is the way to go.

elmo Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Here is the state of play with the Rhino/Razorback. The commander cupola is actually for the Rhino and I have a closed hatch version without stormbolter for the Razorback. I am expecting it to be complete by next weekend and then I can finish off the dismounted Ravenwing and then see what appeals to me next http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240037_zpse7887583.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240038_zpsd2a40023.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240039_zps51cece92.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240040_zpsd17a58d7.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240041_zpsc6fe8322.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240042_zps8234491c.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240043_zpsbf8e5f7b.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/P1240044_zps907e2ce6.jpg Edited January 24, 2014 by Elmo9141 Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/14/#findComment-3577493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Lovin' the Razor. It's looking really chunky and fit for purpose. The dismounted RW are coming along nicely too. You mention the models' limited poses but that doesn't worry me - quite like the uniform look of their advance.

elmo Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Under pressure - dum dum dum da da da dum - Pressure (Can't beat a bit of Queen ;)) I have been beavering away doing some of the detailing tonight and there is now some scribble script, a couple of swords, 4th Company badge and the alternate cupola is done. I am planning a larger free hand bit for the LH side door as this is nice and flat so should be easy to paint. It won't be anything really fancy but it should make the command vehicle stand out. I plan to put some more bling and oath parchments on it then give it my usual weathering treatment and "Robert's your father's brother" it will be done. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/028/3/9/wip___up_armoured_rhino_razorback_by_elmo9141-d744mg4.jpg http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/028/6/b/wip___up_armoured_rhino_razorback_by_elmo9141-d744mbs.jpg Interrogator Stobz, Galthan Ironsturm, captain sox and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/14/#findComment-3581040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
