The landspeeder vengeance has turned up. My brain is ticking over on replacing the pulpit gunner with a turret. Planning to magnetise between the plasma storm battery and icon of old caliban.

I just finished doing the same thing last week Elmo, if you wanted an idea of how it looks?

I've magnetised the icon/plasma battery and the heavy bolter/assault cannons.

Think removing the guy from the pulpit helps actually like this model.

I have put off buying this as I hate the pulpit gunner but finally took the plunge.

 

Fierce Bear, thanks for showing me yours. It gets me going in the right direction.

 

I am planning a proper "tank" type turret similar but smaller to the predator turret. I will have to see how it goes. On holiday at the moment but it will all be kicking off next week and I will make sure to upload loads of wip photos for anyone who may be interested.

Thanks Brothers :smile.:

Work has begun on the Ravenwing Darkshroud / Land Speeder Vengeance.
The Plasma Storm Battery and Icon of Caliban have been magnetised. This was fairly simple and only took 6 magnets.

The pulpit gunner is being removed and replaced by a turret fitted with a magnetised Heavy Bolter / Assault Cannon as I do not like the aesthetic of a gunner in the nose. At the moment the mounting ring has been lowered to keep the turret as low as possible and work has started on forming the shape of the turret itself.
Hopefully it will work and look ok :wink:

It does look a little too large. The plan was to make it the same diameter as the pulpit recess but I may shave a bit more of the bulk off.

Originally I was going to use a Devilfish chin turret but as this is a dome it did not fit with the angular chassis.

Hey-ho back to the sandpaper I go :wink:

I will get on to it this weekend and see what I can come up with. I think I can take off 3-5 mm all round which could make all the difference...

 

Another option may be a lower Baneblade sponson turret.

In between playing with the turret I have also been able to get some painting done.

The Intercessors are complete

And 2 sets of easy build Intercessors are about 90% done with just some small details to go.

Now off to my painting corner to carry on sanding the turret :(

Priming has begun on the Ravenwing Darkshroud / Land Speeder Vengeance.

The Plasma Storm Battery and Icon of Caliban have been magnetised.

The pulpit gunner has been removed and replaced by a turret fitted with a magnetised Heavy Bolter / Assault Cannon as I do not like the aesthetic of it.

After a previous attempt and on receiving constructive criticism (thanks Brothers :) ), the size of the turret has been reduced to the point where I am happy to start painting.

And I just found another 3 Intercessors to add to the previous 6 :)

End of painting week 1 update. All looks like it is going well and I like how the turret is turning out :)

I have a Primaris Librarian in the painting corner at the moment for when I am waiting for washes to dry ;)

All go here :whistling:

How did you go about the green 'stained glass window' Elmo?

I am being asked that a lot :wink:

 

My method is K.I.S.S...

 

 

so... base of Vallejo Glacier Blue

Very, very old watered down GW Green Ink and drag it to the edges of the panes
