Monstra Sumus Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Damn it ran out of likes again. A Nice ride. As always, thanks Sarge. Did a little bit of work on the Prometheus sensor array. Decided to channel my inner Malevolent and put a Stormbolter into it, to represent the pintle upgrade. The empty space beside it will have a clear LED put there and painted over to be a sensor dome. This isn't the Land Raider chassis that'll I'll be using, this is just a stand in. Cheers, BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 man...I love it... Thank you fella, it means a lot :) I got the LED in to do the sensor dome. I'm half tempted to pull it back off, paint the tank up once it's completed and stick it back on leaving it clear. It catches the light really well. To further enforce it's a command tank, I'll have a Legion Comms Marine sticking his head up out of the back to show the Prometheus uses a combination of sensor data and information relayed from around the battlefield.

Vel'Cona Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 You know, with the new Land Raider Spearhead formation it's not entirely insane to take 3 of these beasts now! You'll need some impressive assault units to make the most of this, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, with the new Land Raider Spearhead formation it's not entirely insane to take 3 of these beasts now! You'll need some impressive assault units to make the most of this, though. That's kinda what I'm holding out for, I'd absolutely love to run both Phobos patterns and the Prometheus in my Siege Vanguard List. I charge ten men Siege Assault Squads out of them anyway with dual flamers and lighting claw sergeants so they pack a punch. Thinking of making up a no nonsense Honour Guard to accompany the Siege Master when he wants to stab some fools with the Teeth of Terra.

That's the hope brother, I will pester them until it becomes religious. In the mean time, I just have to hash it out with my opponents what they are happy with me using as part of the formations.

sockwithaticket Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Jaysus, you've been busy! Those Raiders look great. Can't say much that others haven't. The use of the FW mult-melta turret and the addition of the dozers is inspired and the Promethus' quad heavy bolters are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The use of the FW mult-melta turret and the addition of the dozers is inspired and the Promethus' quad heavy bolters are wonderful. Thank you Sock, good to see you back. I like to add a little something to my tanks to try and make them stand out. I really want to portray the Marines Malevolent as a Chapter at constant war, no respite, no reprieve. One battleground to the next, the training of potential replacements happens in a trial by fire, if they can't cut three tours as a scout they wash out. There aren't any training facilities, no strategy centres or home worlds they can set up barracks and monasteries on. There is only war and the need to obtain victory. Each asset is geared towards continuous combat, often at times things will be held together with bonding strips and faith in the Emperor to see it through the next engagement. They will take what they kill too, sanctifying it, repainting and refitting it and turning its guns on its one time masters. I think the Land Raiders are imposing enough, I just wanted to make mine look brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Today I completed my ETL vow and added another 670pts to the Codex cause. This also saw the completion of my second Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle the "Sovereigns Fall". A phobos pattern Land Raider given urban assault upgrades it disgorges a tide of power armoured assault marines into the midst of the enemy while its powerful lascannon work long range targets. "Sovereigns Fall" and the "Defiance of Helican" AIFV's. Cheers BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Nice Rides. Thanks Sarge, I like my Assault Marines to ride in style. Loving it! The FW turret use is just awesome. And the Kromlech dozer blades are nice too. Great work. One can never have too many Land Raiders. Cheers fella! I always thought it a stupid notion that the most advanced infantry transport in the galaxy that was supposedly driven by a machine spirit bordering the realms of an A.I would have a dude poking his head out the back to fire a top mounted gun. It's a completely environmentally sealed attack vehicle and I wanted to further produce that idea. None shall stay their wrath. Great looking pair.

Thanks BCA, I'm trying to weed out any bling in my force unless its Codex approved such as golden boltshells for marksmanship or iron skulls/halos. Feet First and Bolters Free; the Malevolent Way. Those split dozers are sweet! Thanks Tom! Got some presents through the mail this morning. I finally have the assets to make my army a bit more fluff orientated. Two more Retaliator batteries ready for the painting table! Cheers, BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 With the new Codex my playable army has had a few changes. This means a few unpainted models being rotated into the ranks and by a few, I mean half the army. So I'm going to dedicate my drive to getting 1850 full points painted as to field a completely painted army for local games and tournaments. They will be dual purpose, to count as either Codex Marines or Siege Assault Vanguard Marines. I will endevour to finish off partially painted units first before I move onto undercoated models. To start this off, Ancient Arx and the Mantle of Belligerence will be getting the honour of being the first newly completed unit for the Marines Malevolent, 3rd Company Strike Force. Here is his current state, mid way through a repaint. Also, I've just begun a painting log on Facebook for anyone who uses that and would like to see updates there as well.
