Cactus Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I Cactus answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one predator with lascannon sponsons and one land raider with a multimelta and dozer blade from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 380 points on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the First Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end. http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb440/Cactus-/ETL%20II/20130615_114557_zps16c897a6.jpg So how much progress have I made in the two weeks since making that vow? Not much compared to some as I've spent a lot of time gaming, but yesterday I turned a black and grey land raider into this: http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb440/Cactus-/ETL%20II/20130629_123642_zpsc415f95a.jpg?t=1372506373 There's still some to work to do on the guns, and some detail on the sides that isn't visible in the photos. I'll paint the Consecrators' chapter badge on the roof but I'm not sure which way up. Should the top of the image be at the front or rear of the tank? I'm thinking that the top should be at the front so that it's the right way up for friendly titan crews looking down for an ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 A treat today, photos taken with a proper camera! I've pretty much finished the land raider now, I just need to erase the pencil marks from the roof. http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb440/Cactus-/ETL%20II/SAM_0801_zps1aac863d.jpg http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb440/Cactus-/ETL%20II/SAM_0802_zpsc00314a7.jpg http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb440/Cactus-/ETL%20II/SAM_0799_zpsf1304e44.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Guard Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That is excellent work. I have been wondering on how to easily model the hull-mounted twin heavy bolters on a similar kit. I think your solution is just great. Nice hand painted chapter insignia. SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Rage Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A very nice job, the chapter iconography is a very nice touch. Great Stuff! DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thank you guys. SG, I would have preferred to have the original pintle mounted heavy bolters but when you're given a previously converted model that isn't an option. Leftover guns from chimeras just happen to fit perfectly and satisfy my inner WYSIWYG freak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komodo Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Nice one! I'm very fond of GW old school miniatures. And you gave that LR justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 It looks like the database issues took my last update, so here's a recap. Provide your own 'Last time on...' voice over if you wish.
