I turn my back for a couple of hours and the thread takes a "silly" turn tongue.png

It will be "Ministry of Silly Walks" soon....

I will be putting up some better photos later. The previous ones just don't cut the mustard don't-cha know furious.gif

When it is complete I will do a side by side photo of "Hammer Time" and "Vanilla Ice" ;)

All right - you where warned!

I give no apologies for the amount of pictures - I am like a proud dad ;)

it occurs to me that it seems a little odd for the scroll saying "Hammer of Caliban" to be wrapped around a sword... ph34r.png

I am not changing it to a hammer! no.gif

And as the Ares is all about brute force I think Hammer fits well as a name. The sword is just too DA to resist and it is starting to form a constant theme on my vehicles now.

Has any one noticed that the sword is shaped after the one on the DA goodies sprue rather than the usual gladius shape?

Oh, I know; I'm not suggesting that you should either! All I could think of as an alternative was "Blade of Caliban" anyway, and I'm pretty certain nobody wants to go there! :P

Actually, I did! :D

Thanks guys smile.png

To answer a couple of points

@Larhendiel: Technically you would have to get your opponent to agree unless it was for an anything goes apocalypse game as it uses an old datasheet which has now been withdrawn and I can only hope it is being reworked for 6th. But that is the beauty of magnets.

@Cactus: I have not got around to painting the gold bling on the chassis yet - that's planned for Monday msn-wink.gif

If you can get enough gold bling chains and a Mohawk down the center, you could call it Sweet T. Or Mister.

 

(One of our shops here uses a picture of Ice T for iced tea and a pic of Mr. T labeled sweet tea)

Awesome, as usual!

 

Just a suggestion: the free handed sword seems a bit flat...maybe a BIT of greyish running down the centre, as heck is replicating the "3D" of the blade?

 

Kudos to you if you actually manage to understand what I'm saying hahaha

I know exactly what you meant :)

I was thinking a similar thing myself.

 

Apologies for no update yesterday - I had a motivational failure after an hour so did not achieve much. I will be putting in a couple of hours tonight as I need to get this done and get started on my next project (tau Barracuda ). Yes I know "Heretic"!!!! ;)

Gosh, you must be a mind-reader or something, because I spent 5 minutes staring at the screen re-reading thinking "what a mess have you written" hehe

 

As for the heretic painting...lets face it, we all need a bit of rest from green, black and bone from time to time...thats when I paint a librarian, since he's blue hahahaha

Who's ATT? I know nothing Chaplain

Shsssssss - do you want to get us thrown in Cell 42?

 

The Crusader is just about done and the Ares just needs the Siege Shield doing now.

I have kept the weathering and battle damage subdued less the mud of course as each of my crusaders has a Techmarine attached who spends his days off repainting and polishing - For The Lion!

 

The Siege Shield has been attached to the Vindicator glacis plate using 4 brass pins for strength which you should just be able to see the ends of.

I will start on the art work tomorrow so we shall see what we shall see!
