Avoghai's 5th company and support Update : ETL adds on

[Master Avoghai]

I've made the same thing for both : I can swap to Darkshroud and also the additional weapon.

I have been thinking about mounting the plasma weapons like you have.  Good to see an example if it, and nicely done.  The remote turret idea is a good one too, though I was considering chopping the cupola area completely off and re-mounting it at the front center of vehicle.  That would be more work, but I think it would look better than the standard off-set postion.

[Larhendiel]

I like how you placed heavy bolter on speeder and how you attached plasma, well thought.

That was actually the first idea. I've bought a normal LS top armour in order to cut the vengeance front and replace it. But then I've noticed that both are very different in form and that the top part (next to the hood)is very difficult to remove. That's why I've eventually. Chosen this option.

A good solution could be to remove only the superior cupola part so that the cannon is lowered down. It would be a more aerodynamic style.

[JJD]

Excellent work as ever. The small changes look good a make the model a bit more your own. I especially like the detail in the individual windows.

[Tanhausen]

Really like the highlights on the windows of the cockpit :)

Advancing on my last vow...

 

... Again Dark Rage I've found inspiration on one of your fantastic models... But like we say : "Copying is the very last level of admiration huh?"

;)

[Master Avoghai]

Today I was in a Spaced Hulk mood and decided to mix blitz from several kits to build cool sgts...

... and all with banners coming too ... what's not to like :tu:.

 

Cheers

Your ETL additions are stunning brother Am I right in thinking that you highlight the black armour of your First and Second Companies differently? Blue highlights for the RW and grey for the DW?

The new sergeants are cool too, particularly the middle one with the chainsword. Are you counting the wrist mounted infernus pistol on the third srg as a combi-melta?

Yeah now they make nice plastic ones I try to use them as much as possible

Yup I'm loving the " nightlight reflect" for the RW... More raven look to me

Exactly

[Master Avoghai]

Some people say I have a fixation on heavy weapons.

But they are far from truth! :P

[Master Avoghai]

Poding time!

 

I have a battle tomorrow against filthy tau (but apart from the riptide, they don't have intercepting units), hence I decided to use a full poded list...

 

Since I was tired to transport the pod, I've invested in some feldherr foam trays : 2x100mm and 2x60mm.

 

Here you see the bottom with the pod inside and on theleft, the top part

Once the rest of the company is upside:

I'm very happy with this organization because it allows me to transport the entire 5th company with HQ and pods in the same case. :tu:

[Brother dean]

Which case?....  Feldherr?  Can we get a picture of the case all closed up?  Where did you get it?

 

I am finding it hard to find the Army Transport case that I want big enough to carry all my Guard.

[Master Avoghai]

It's the Feldherr XXL Transporter

 

it contains the equivalent of 5 GW case more or less...

[Master Avoghai]

Guys there some things happening in your life that makes you feel that you are personally under the Emperor's protection...

 

I was returning from my wedding in Brazil when I received an emergency call from work.

My car (which is both personnal and professional) had been found burnt last Friday.

 

Rapidly, my mind started to realize that I've left my minis inside after my last game... My whole 5th company (200 models) + my 1st company...

 

I let you imagine the states of mind I have passed through...

 

A little bit of hope appeared though when I saw the police's pics of the scene. It seemed that the fire started at the front and that the firemen circumvented it rapidly... But we talk about plastic soldier in heat... Hence I didn't want to have false hopes.

 

After fulfilling the necessary administrative formalities I got access to my car and here's what I've found.

Fearfully, I tried to get access to the rear... I managed to pull off the first case, then the second...

And opened them...

 

THE MINIS WERE SAFE!!!!

 

The rear seats have plainfully played their protective role and luckily, even the freshly bought crusader has been safe.

Now my 5th company will be known as "the fireproof". This honour will be represented on their company banner.

 

For the Lion! Forged in the fire of battle!

as for the guys who started the fire, they were clever enough to laugh at the firemen with their hands full of coil... The firemen noted their car's number and they got caught by police yesterday :wacko:

[Isiah]

You should consider yourself blessed I think.

 

You should probably consider renaming your HQs fire-related names: Smoke Walker, Fire Angel, Kindled Spirit (sic), Dragon Breath etc etc.

 

:p

Can't say I'm a fan of only one decision you've made across the collection and that was butchering seraphicus to make two seperate models, I sort of covet my seraphicus model and want him to remain the way he was intended. Beyond that the rest is breath taking and enjoy every minute.

Well it's not like I own 2 other models of Sepharicus ;)

[Bryan Blaire]

Damn man, while it's great about your minis, that's definitely a miracle for you, really sorry to hear about your car. Very cool that your car protected your army though! Glad you and yours weren't involved in the situation (car wasn't on fire when anyone was in there) and that it sounds like they got the folks that did this. I second Isiah's idea on the names, and I think you should post them up here with pics for us to admire again. :yes:

[Master Avoghai]

And since my minis seems to appreciate fire...

 

Is their a better choice than a chappy dread with heavy flamerS?
