facmanpob Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Maybe some ork legs would be a good starting point.... I foresee a bits box raid tonight :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 If you paint another Raider in the bone white/creamy white, then you can name it Ice to go along side Hammer. :D The Ares looks awesome as it is, can't wait to see any further art, Elmo.

facmanpob Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 If you paint another Raider in the bone white/creamy white, then you can name it Ice to go along side Hammer. Would that be Vanilla Ice? What a mash-up that would be ...... "Ice Ice Baby!".... "Stop, Hammer time!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Then a bone termi would be an ice T? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 I turn my back for a couple of hours and the thread takes a "silly" turn 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 When it is complete I will do a side by side photo of "Hammer Time" and "Vanilla Ice" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 All right - you where warned!

Major_Gilbear Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 You know, looking through all those pics (good job by the way! ), it occurs to me that it seems a little odd for the scroll saying "Hammer of Caliban" to be wrapped around a sword...

elmo Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 it occurs to me that it seems a little odd for the scroll saying "Hammer of Caliban" to be wrapped around a sword... I am not changing it to a hammer! 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Has any one noticed that the sword is shaped after the one on the DA goodies sprue rather than the usual gladius shape? Actually, I did! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Great looking tank Elmo, but you've missed a bit - the crux terminatuses on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larhendiel Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 This is a very pretty tank!I really like that freehanded sword and the way you painted techmarine :)Is it street legal or do you have to ask your opponents before you use it?

elmo Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks guys 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I hope they update the data sheet too Elmo, in fact I hope if they do there will be options for the side sponson besides the flamers; and would provide incentive to magnetize them to swap it out situationally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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"!!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 The 'Cuda will have a DA green base too. It will be similar to my Remora drones. I just can't get away from it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facmanpob Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Awesome sauce - I'm about to start some test schemes on my Tau Fire Warriors, so I'll see you on ATT... Although I may do a quick typhoon speeder first ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 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. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0112_zpsf540fae3.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0111_zps529a519d.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0113_zpsc6fb3aea.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0114_zps023462dc.jpg 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! http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0118_zps05aaf803.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0117_zps9e610c27.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/IMAG0115_zps11045388.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
