elmo Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 As the title suggests my next project will be a Landraider Ares: http://www.chamber42...les_writing.pdf This is all the fault of Stobz (no specific reason - I just blame him )My kids saw that my creative juices where flowing on completion of my Vindicator Linebreaker Squadron and they joined forces and bought me a Landraider Crusader for xmas (I new there was a reason I had kids )Since then I have ordered the following bits:Vindicator (the left over bits will give me another Rhino)Landraider extra armour and DA door set from FWI have 2 Baneblade flamers in my bits box so when this all turns up I will be good to go.The biggest problems I expect will be stretching the dozer blade (but I expect plasticard to be my friend there) and positioning the Vindicator front plate (but I have also invested in a razor saw so I will be getting nasty with it till it fits).I have no special plans for magnetisation on this one (breathes a sigh of relief) as it will be more of a one off. I will prob. have the dozer blade detachable for transportation but I will see.An idea that was suggested was to put the DW winged sword icon on the dozer blade in thin plasticard. The model itself will be in DA green mainly with some bleached bone bits more or less as per the datasheet.I am not bulding this as a force multiplyer or due to fantastic rules but more as a centre piece for my 4th Company/Armoury (and cause it looks good )I should be starting work in the next week or two when all the bits arrive and I expect it to take about a month to do so stay tuned for more updates.......Naturally I will use this thread as a wip so if any one else wants to give it a go they may get some "how not to do it " ideas from here I am trying for "Master of the Forge" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Looking forward to it, Señor "Master of the Forge". ;) You do realize that we (the Unforgiven/Dark Angels) take those guys (the Masters of the Forge) and install them in the Rock and then just let them sit there and fix our suff, then rarely remove their bodies, right? We just install a new one over the old one and get around to clearing out the rubbish later. :ph34r: :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/#findComment-3281924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Immolator Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We got the master of recruits, now the master of the forge. What has one to do to become the master of ordinance for example? Just kidding. I really don't want to know... Blame Stobz for anything. Its his fault. After all he survived the end of the world despite my confirmation of NZ not existing any more. Kids sound like a good investment...

Pbenner Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I've been working on one of these myself. It's quite the fun little project. I did not stretch the dozer blade, as it's just wide enough to fit in across the chassis without being modified. The main issue I'm having right now if making the installation of the cannon look smooth and flush. I'm not a great Green Stuff guy for mechanical things. best of luck on yours. I hope to finish mine this spring along with it's cousin, the Terminus Ultra.

Pbenner Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Before Stobz gets any futher into deranged fantasies, here is where I have gotten with my project: http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss129/pbenner2250/photobucket-10809-1358122276725.jpg http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss129/pbenner2250/photobucket-50062-1358122235919.jpg I don't have any Heavy Flamer sponson bits, so I've used the flame cannons from the redeemer. While they are slightly larger, this is more of a decorative piece than a playing piece for me, so it will be okay. I don't have the skill to extend the blade wide enough to make room for the sponsons behind it, but I think it looks okay like this. Cutting the vindicator's front plate down enough to make it fit the Land Raider frame was a problem, and I over cut, so I ended up having to put green stuff in to make it solid. I still need to smooth out a couple of these gaps. I also added the ventilation system from the Vindicator top plate in place of the current raised top, as can be seen. That bit of cutting was a bear. The project has been fun so far, hopefully I can wrap it up soon.

EPK Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Haha, gotta love inuendo. I guess I'll have to whip meself then What good is a servitor that can't just be programmed to whip itself. I look forward to your progress Elmo. I can't believe no magnets?!!? Come on now! Fully magnetized Godhammer/Crusader/Redeemer/Ares??? Is it even possible?? Is it even worth it, lol...

Captain Semper Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Ahhh... Elmo, a great challenge ahead. This will be interesting to say the least. Good luck mate - your kids bypassed the "banker" no? hahahahaha!!!! Oh, and I agree with EPK, go for your magnet magic - worth it or not! :lol: Now I beleive the title you're looking for is Master of the Rock - no? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/#findComment-3282520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I think Servitor Stobz is fighting his programming - perhaps he needs his lobotomy renewing Magnets - hmmmmmmmmm. Think, think. The side sponson weapons are no problem - done before on the last Crusader The Siege shield also no problem - done on 3 Vindicators so with a small mod. should get it to work on the Ares The problem will be the front ramp/hull as I don't think I will be able to make the swap between ramp and Devastator cannon. I will test fit and play a little when all the bits turn up. Master of the Rock sounds good - now tell me what qualifications are needed, can I get friday afternoons off and is the pay good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269458-elmos-new-project-landraider-ares-the-fun-begins/#findComment-3282543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thats what I like about this forum - we can laugh at ourselves Seriously though, there may be a slight delay on starting this project as I am committed to vows on 2 forums at the moment (IG and new top up DA vow incoming soon Capt S.) but I prob. will not be able to resist the temptation of playing and seeing how this will all go together Don't be too surprised if it is done sooner than I said as my fingers are itching to start chopping. I will, of course, keep my Brothers updated on work in the forge.
