Memento Of Prospero Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 They cost twice as much, but I could try to convert one from a baneblade or shadowsword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274500-wolf_packs-blood-angels-conversions-and-kit-bashes/page/15/#findComment-3561686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Great to see you have good reasons for picking the right model for you. I don't think the Baneblade kit would look as good as the more Chinese / Russian 'esque round turrets that FW employed on their Fellblade - but conversions, well, I'd never knock em as they can often exceed expectations :) I definitely think you could produce the exposed track and angled armour look that gives it a more Land Raider feel.

Calnus Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 There's a converted Baneblade on BoLS and CoolMiniorNot that is pretty awesome. If you google "Blood Angels Felblade" it should be the top result. I think it was called the Crucio-something. It was put together by a guy who wanted a heresy-era super heavy for his marines before the Heresy book came out, with its Legion Felblades. I think it might be a good place to start for inspiration. Also, the 30K Felblades and Felglaive have better main guns than baneblade variants, so mocking up the turret for one conversion may be worth looking into.

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Well I just found an old and busted Standard baneblade for peanuts brothers.

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Progress is going very slowly. The previous owner used some good forsaken cheap fusing glue. I tried to heat it, snap it and then freeze it, and it did not work. So I had to do it the old school way.

infyrana Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah I've had similar issues, shame the spare track segments that looks like there are placements for them are missing.

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Form the tracks I am thinking of making my own, similar to the actual Fellblade tracks. Plane looking and linked with rods. Any ideas?

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Here's my first hull ornament: About a quarter inch thick, cut in angles to give false distance and depth.

infyrana Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Oooh someone with plenty of spare marines ;) Very unique and different... quite like it in a way - not my thing - but I appreciate what you've done and does indeed stand out! Think the fellblade tracks would probably look better with the raised bits between links, much better than GW's emblem tracks.

Calnus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I really like it so far, but I think the rivets are bothering me. You never see rivets on Marine vehicles, they're all clean lines and overlapping panels. Going back and looking at the FW Felblade, I think doing the plain tracks with rod links, and then probably shaving all those rivets and maybe adding some extra armor plating will put you right in line with the Legion look. That, and if you keep adding full models as ornamentation, its going to be the most blinged-out relic tank in the history or 40K.

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Technically it's not a full model ;) I shaved off 3/4 of it. I will post a picture at an angle tonight to demonstrate. He is very thin, I cut angles to give him fake depth.

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Also, you can't just go and say things like that. They just end up insulting my swag making abilities and push me to do more.

He is very thin, I cut angles to give him fake depth. I'm extremely curious as to how you achieved the effect- sculpturesque features on a suitable vehicle such as a fellblade, land raider prometheus, etc. just seems right to me somehow. These vehicles of legend are like mobile shrines, it would make sense that they be festooned to the nines!

Calnus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks Wolf_pack, I'll take that as a compliment. And I swear you have some voodoo magic going on with the SG ornament. That looks like a whole model stuck on there, like it should be magnetized to come off and run as part of its own unit. ...Which would be kind of awesome if the marines used automatons of some kind, you would have them as ornamentation that just walks off the tank and slaps people with power weapons. Shame they don't believe in AI, and no marine will just hang out in a pose like that. I guess the closest could be like a rack of Servo-skulls that get deployed, but they're not nearly as cool looking. Have you got a loadout in mind for the weapons yet?

Memento Of Prospero Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Here's an angled picture to give you an idea of how hollow it really is. If there is interest for it, I can make a tutorial on how to achieve this. It's not particularly hard, it just takes quite a bit of time to do. I put in about 3-4 hours into it. @ Calnus as far as I remember, Fellblades don't have any options asides from laser battereis. I will go with magnets and make laser batteries and the quad lascannons for sponsons.
