pbwill Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 So I'm getting ready to start work on a new army, but my girl friend says I have to get rid of one I have before I can start on a new one. It's a fair request since I have so many armies that I'm running out of space. I've decided to part ways with my pre-heresy World Eaters. Before I do that I decided to publicize their existence so that I'll have something to look back at later. Their development started with the release of the Blood Angels codex. It seemed the best book for this counts-as army. Keep in mind that these were started before much of the nifty Forge World pre-heresy stuff was released, though I did integrate many parts from Forge World as they were released. Unit choices were based off what would be fun to model. The 1500pt force consists of: HQ Khârn the Betrayer (counts as Gabriel Seth) Elites Apothecary (counts as Sanguinary Priest) Contemptor Dreadnought (count as Furioso/Death Company Dread) Troops 15 Tactical marines 10 Assault marines 10 Berserkers (counts as Death Company) Rhino/Razorback 2 Drop Pods HV Support 5 Devastators Predator The Apothecary's backpack is magnetized so he can have a jump pack Squad Sergeants- Tactical and Assault Devastator and Berserker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbwill Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Kharns helmet is from Maxmini's steam knight line, with the rebreathers cut off and plasticard for the head dress. maxmini steam knight heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbwill Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 The devastators have magnetized arms for multiple weapon options The MK1 rhino kit is from Chapterhouse Studios I'm especially proud of the heat stain on the assault cannon barrels The predator uses sponsons from the IG Marcharius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sweet WE's brother! Great interpretation of Khârn (nifty conversion) and I love the multitude of Mk4 and Mk5 helms. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbwill Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 The pair of drop pods The always impressive Contemptor. Easily the coolest kit from Forge World His chainfist arms were converted from the Forge World MK4 Iron Clad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Some really nicew conversions in here. I like your Khârn. Especially like the chainsaws on the Contemptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Good stuff! You need some gladiator marines though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is a great world eaters army - I'm keen to do a pre/heresy era word bearers along the same lines - hadn't thought of using the BA codex, so maybe I'll check it out. Great models and painting too - can I ask what size magnets you used to the arm & backpack swaps as I'd like to do the same for mk 4 + 5 FW minis.

pbwill Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for the compliments guy. It shows that the hard work has paid off. I enjoy converting a lot more then painting now, so it can be hard to finish a project. I'll plan on taking some glamour shots of the army in a light box before I sell it, and with the Horus Heresy book releasing soon it seems like a good time. The magnets are all 1/8" diameter. The thickness varies based on application with 1/16" as the thickest. Amazingmagnets.com is the way to go. My $30 order has lasted me over a year.

Captain Semper Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 As a big fan of mkV armour and pre Heresy stuff I applaud your work sir! This is top notch! I wish I could meet you in the field of battle with my Consecrators (pre Heresy DAs?) This is very inspiring stuff indeed! Love the Contemptor, great movement there! How can you part with this force?

pbwill Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 I have something in the range of 9 armies, 6 of them being space marines of some kind. So it makes sense that a power armor force goes. With 6th ed rules the melee contemptor can't justify his points anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
