The Ironclad Dreadnought is well-painted. The steel-gray color looks so RoboCop-y.

Ironclad completed. Note the magnet on top, for attachment to a Stormraven.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

I've spent the past few days detaching things from sprues and cleaning them up. Thus, I went on something of a priming spree today.

 

Behold, the fruits of this week's labour!

Above you can see the beginnings of a Rhino Primaris conversion.

Here I've prepped some parts for a Predator Destructor (I'm waiting for an order from Kromlech/Bits of War to be delivered before forging ahead with the rest).

And finally, here are two other Predators almost ready to go. On the left is a Baal Predator, and on the right are the parts for a Predator Annihilator.

Rhino Primaris is done! In record time for me, I'd like to add. :biggrin.:

 

First, a shot of the interior details I added (it's a transport, after all):

And the full glamour shots:

I quite enjoyed this kitbash!

 

Next up will be my ETL vow: a Predator Annihilator (quad-las).

Threw together a real quick marker that works as both an objective marker and a servo-skull marker for the Rhino Primaris.

Halo is the leadership bonus, pinchy skull is the repair skull, and last skull has an auspex on the back so represents the +1 to hit.

And I've vowed a second Predator!

Dakka variant this time. Using the front plate from a Hunter/Stalker, sponsons from a Baal Predator, Forge World extra armour on the turret, and Kromlech reinforced armour for the chassis. Should look nice and chunky when it's done.

Completed about two weeks behind schedule, but it's just in time for me to move back to my (now-repaired) apartment.

Really like how it turned out. This is one mean Predator.

Cheers buddy! I actually haven't found the default exhaust stacks to interfere with turret traversal, but I also insert a plasticard plank under the main weapon so it doesn't dip below horizontal.

 

Incidentally, I fielded both Predators in a game today and they fared pretty well! Though there was no situation in that game at all where a Contemptor Mortis wouldn't have fared better...

Jumping into the Imperial Fists Expansion VI!

 

I, Disruptor_fe404, vow in the name of Rogal Dorn and the Sentinels to complete one Stormraven by 11th November 2019.
 
For Dorn, Terra, and the Emperor!

Finished assembly on the Stormraven! Still have to do the base, but that will happen pretty quick once I pick up another texture paint.

There's also a quick photo of the Ironclad in the transport clamps.

I'm really proud to say that I'm on track to finish another tank by Christmas!

A bit of a salvage operation as well, as those sponsons are from an older model (other parts of which have also been repurposed and refurbished).

Happy new year folks!

 

As a bit of a retrospective, here are the models I painted in 2019 (also testing out a lightbox I bought ages back)!

Yes, I finished the last tank (Baal Predator, counting-as an autocannon Predator). I'll take a few individual photos of it in a few days time.

 

2019 has been by far my most productive year, painting-wise. :)
