Giarc Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just got my chapter house kit in the mail. Added it on the the Raven last night. Over all, it looks better, but i am not impressed with the quality of the resin. One side was about 2cm thick, the other side about 1/2cm thick. The bottom where the stand hooks up was very flimsy, and I do not feel safe mounting the SR on that part. I keep the stand on the actual GW part of the model for more stability. Still, I need to keep working on it. My rating on the kit: Coolness 9/10 Assembly 8/10 (kit did not line up exactaly, but this was to be expected) Quiality of Resin: 6/10 (this was the main down fall. The casts were mainly just thin, and brittle) Time: 9/10 (Very quick to get this put together, and complete the Raven. You do have to convert the GW wings a little bit to make it work) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/page/3/#findComment-3326171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m01iti0n Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Im in 100% agreement with you. But then again, I read reviews prior to purchase and its what I expected. Coolness Factor beat out the quality. I thought the new base socket was for weight distribution. Ill anoint the sacred oils (glue), mutter the Litanies of Mending (swearing) and try the original socket. ADDITIONAL: Completely revamping my army list. This is what it will look like at 1850 MoS, TermHonors, Power Fist, BP, Ceno x3 (Warlord)EC w/ AAC10 Ini/10 Neos, Axe, Flamer. Frags5 Ini, ML, PlasLasback5 Ini, Las, PlasAegis w/ QuadTermis, CML x2, Tank HuntersVen Dread, TLLC, MLPred Annihilator, LCPred Annihilator, LCStormtalon, Skyhammer Means I need to buy a new Pred, a Lasback turret for my Rhino, and a Quad. Played my list at 1850 against my friends IG tourney list and got beat badly. Going to have another go of it and I think this will be very strong.

You could almost drop that lazerback and add another troop choice, or Typhoon for better points/use. I personally dont like the razorback because of the high points cost. Plus you cannot shoot out of it.

Das Bee Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm kind of torn on lazerbacks too, but i keep using them because having a mobile twin linked lascannon with troop protection can be nice...

Giarc Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I guess if you park it behing the ADL it might survive a extra round or two. But you can get a Typhoon with a little less strength then the laz, but a heavy bolter, plus movement of 12". That has a little bit more "reach out and touch someone" ability. OR i would look at doing another laz ML dread. If the points are there.

d3m01iti0n Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have ZERO luck with Typhoons. Most of my opponents blow them out of the air immediately. The idea with the Lasback is for a late-game objective grabber. Hang back for a turn three rush, or use cover and hide behind the Preds midfield and take popshots. Once on objective the squad will pile out and use the transport for cover. Its basically going to be a fire platform/cover for objectives/line breaker. I would most likely run the Dread behind it, or Pod the Dread near its destination.

tvih Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Typhoons indeed tend to die if anyone even looks at them funny. And of course people look at them funny because they do have good damage potential, so why not kill 'em off since it's so easy Still, on average they tend to earn back their points for me. At least more so than most of my other units.

Giarc Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Both very good points. I am the oppsite, never have luck with rhinos/razorbacks but my typhoons kill a boat load of enemy (no pun intended). I just wish the points would drop a bit on the lazorback, and we could get more weapon options on them.

d3m01iti0n Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I just need an overhaul of my army. I mainly play my IG buddy and my Black Tide flattens him every time, but everything else seems lackluster. I usually ran the LRC/ CC Termi as well and I just want more targets on the board. My new list has a lot of high threat units and Im always going to have a backup plan if any unit is compromised. Only time and practice will tell!

Zeruvar Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Sorry demo but i just couldnt help chuckling... Ok i laughed out loud, when you mentioned that the CH kit fell aparton your first game.

d3m01iti0n Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Nope. I took it out of my list so Ill just fix it and shelf it. Thanks to Ebay Ive scored a Las Marine, a Razorback turret, Dread ML arm, and an cheap Aegis. Watching some cheap Scouts to fill out the shooty squads. Then Ill need another Pred and Talon and Im going to call my army done and get back to Nids. But Im thinking this new build will be BRUTAL.

d3m01iti0n Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Okay guys I must apologize; my phone has been broken for about a month. Things have been tight but I sold my side project (03 Cobra, Im too old to be hot rodding) and made a ton of spare cash off it so new phone and ebay goodies! Among some things Ive got recently: Dread ML Vindicator Lasback turret Las Initiate Aegis w/ Quad (incoming) Terminator Captain (metal) DA Terminator Cape Relic Contemptor w/ CML Puppetswar Autocannon shoulders So suffice to say there will be a lot of painting in the near future, and I have a new camera(phone) and its 8mp as well, so expect a lot more product from me, with higher quality pics. Also the Stormraven is pretty much done, but the thing fell apart AGAIN. I shelved the stupid thing.

franzdietrich Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I love the Servitors, and the rest are good, too, but the Servitors really, really stand out. Nice work.

d3m01iti0n Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks, Im very happy with how they turned out. Especially the pillar; I didnt know how to tackle scenery (ie masonry) but I was very happy with the results. I brought some of those techniques to my Aegis as well. I play on getting moar pics up tonight. Thank you EBay, I just scored a Horus Heresy Legion Champion. Prepare for Sigismund (and my EC stand in)!!!

d3m01iti0n Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Here is some quick offerings off of my table. The ruins are currently getting paintjobs.

d3m01iti0n Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 A sneak peak for you little Crusaders out there. Sigismund WIP. He will be my new EC stand in when hes done. Started life as a Horus Heresy Legion Champion. Im going to use the Master of Signal for a custom single Servo Techmarine. http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu211/d3m01iti0n/20130506_101501_zpscfffffb3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/page/3/#findComment-3365336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3m01iti0n Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I just got a new phone and Im pretty happy with the camera on it, but I would really like to get a dedicated camera. Its a Dark Angels cape, with the heretical wing logos shaved off. Sprayed the Basilica last night, and pretty much finished up Sigismund, the Marshall, and 5 Initiates Ive been repainting. Have another 5-6 Initiates soaking in Simple Green. Just slowly stripping and redoing my entire army with my new techniques and skills. They look SO much better now; Ill do a side by side at some point to show how far Ive come. In the mail, waiting to arrive: Another GW building (forget the name) Set of 6 GW barricades Relic Contemptor w/ Cyclone Puppetswar Autocannons Desert battle mat from Monday Knights My creativity comes in spurts, and Ive been in overdrive this month. Whole army is getting overhauled, my Armaggedon table is finally coming together. Ill soon have all four GW buildings, the barricades, a set of two OOP GW small ruins, wrecked highway, and a couple small hills. Very excited, very motivated, so stay tuned!
