Larkyn Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm expecting to put up a major update sometime tomorrow. Nothing in terms of painting, but raw material has been gathered. Including something very tasty. Working very diligently tonight, as my weekend has started.

Anvilarium Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Update for my Iron Hands: One Predator has now become three Predators! Just need to finalise a few things on them and I will be ready to begin painting them. http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n64/UrzaTRi/1263023_549055781835024_1069392775_o_zps66b71daf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/25/#findComment-3487794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss nothing. Drop pod power supplies? I haven't used anything from a drop pod kit. Thanks for the compliment though They are standard predators, with the exception of the Conversion Beamers (Contemptor Dreadnought Conversion Beamers), and the armour plate surrounding the Beamers, which was fabricated from Plasticard. Other than that, the only additional parts are a few WWII Tank Accessories and some spare tank treads.

Anvilarium Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Urza- that's some seriously awesome firepower there, conversion bearers are sweet Thanks Jaspcat! They worked out a lot cheaper than buying FW Heresy Predators - The GW Predators were given to me by a friend, and the (Contemptor) Conversion Beamers were £8 each from Forgeworld. I'm hoping they will be able to do some serious damage on the battlefield! There is still a bit of work still required before I can begin painting them: Attach Armour Plate to Conversion Beamer. Magnetise Turret so that it stays on the Predator but can still be rotated. Magnetise Turret Hatch so it can be rotated/removed. Replace pintle Combi-weapons with Heavy Bolters (taken from my Landspeeders) Each Predator also needs a Havoc Launcher. I've got another three donated Predators (!!) in my bits box - I'm thinking about converting those to have Plasma Cannon turrets at some point. However I have a Landspeeder Talon (5 x Landspeeders armed with Heavy Bolters & Multimeltas) which are under consideration for the next non-infantry unit.

Adeptus-Alaska Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 well, It seems my time in the hobby has come to pass for now. a HUGE real life issue that could be a total life game changer has happened. I am in way to much pain and distress to continue on. maybe I'll come back in a while, maybe not. but all I know for now is that I must focus on salvaging my life, or what's of it anyways. I will miss the friends I have gained through these forums and the inspiration I have gained. but I must go, I can't even bring myself to eat as of now. so it's with a heavy heart that I am signing off. maybe forever, maybe not. I will have to see. furioso-prime Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/25/#findComment-3489509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordo Machinum Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Be strong, furioso-prime. Take all the time you need to get yourself back on track. Your battle-brothers will still be here for you when you need some (in)sanity. Hjold! The sea is set against us, for it is the sea, and the darkness is set about us, for it is the darkness, but we will row on, brothers, backs breaking into each stroke, we will row on because no other life or comfort awaits us. Fja vo! Survive! The sea and the dark are our context!

Grim Dog Studios Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Haven't posted in a while, so I just wanted to show everyone where I was up to at the moment with my force. Here is my meltagun veteran squad, just need parts to build the second meltagunner and these guys will be ready for some paint! http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y397/JamBurgin/DSCI0014_zps700599b5.jpg My plasmagun veteran squad, these guys just need the one guy without a hand to be given a vexilla like the standard above and they will be ready for paint too! http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y397/JamBurgin/DSCI0012_zps53762825.jpg And something new! I am a fan of creating figures that represent me in my armies, so I present Harald Mikkelson (named after my middle name, and my dad is called michael). This guy is the first WIP of my power armoured command squad that are all equipped with power weapons. http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y397/JamBurgin/DSCI0015_zps00d691f1.jpg (Ignore the golden retriever hair that floated into the picture somehow) This guy is the basis of what my command squad will look like. The wolf paw is just a WIP thing at the moment, hes going to have one on the other shoulder and then some greenstuff. I'm trying to make these guys all wolfed up with pelts and runes/wolf teeth. The rest will be helmetless, using heads from the various wolf sprues, really like the Thunderwolf rider heads so I'm going to be bits ordering one of each of those. This is my rune priest from before http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y397/JamBurgin/DSCI0010_zpsf751e743.jpg I'm not sure if I want to keep him, or replace him with a converted sevrin loth figure, some feedback would be appreciated. If I decide to keep him, I'm going to add some wolf paws going around his shoulders too. Thanks all for looking!

Keep it up! Thanks for the compliments brothers! I've ran out of things to build at the moment so I will be making another FW order soon, (I'm thinking some Legion MK IV's and that beautifully sculpted MK III power weapons set) Hoping to get the command squad built as I'm really looking forward to see how much character I can pour into them!

Laborious Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l38/RAPTOR192/Citadel%20Minatures/Emperors%20Children/P1000340_zps43b93baa.jpgChild Wranbow, XIV Company, XIX Millennial, Emperors Children. An irregularity amongst the IIIrd, Child Wranbow was one of tens of thousands of aspirants swept up for recruitment into the Legions as the Great Crusade reclaimed their sector for humanity. Hailing from the world of Morrell, the fierce tribal warriors of that jungle world were considered prime stock for the ever-thirsty Astarte to replenish their depleted ranks. Given their temperament and the needs of the fleet, the majority of the Morrelli were given into the hands of the XIIth Legion, who had suffered heavy losses during the fighting on Tylene VII. A few hundred of them however found themselves inducted into the ranks of the Emperor's Children.Quite what the noble patricians of the IIIrd made of the stinking savages thrust upon them is easy to imagine; they were looked upon with disdain by their new brothers. Many of them, of course, did not survive the arduous transformation into an Astartes, but those who did swiftly found themselves viewed as outsiders by their new brothers. Given the guerrilla nature of the warfare on their homeworld, most of them were assigned to reconnaissance squads where it was thought their talents could be best put to use. Their aptitude for the role was impressive; their failure was absolute. Consummate woodsman and marksmen, they indeed excelled in the role of hunters; serving alongside elements of the Raven Guard during the Sangali Pacification the sons of Corax were highly complimentary of the Morrelli's penchant for silent warfare. They were also damning of their abject failure as scouts. On more than one occasion, against the orders of their Terran sergeants, they broke ranks to pursue the enemy, abandoning their positions and leaving blind spots in the Imperium's lines.The results were catastrophic.When the dead were finally counted, more than forty thousand men of the Imperial Army had fallen and two and a half thousand Astartes. Amongst their number were the eighty seven Morrelli Children whose reckless charge into an ambush had enabled it all to happen. Those few who survived were swiftly removed from their units, reallocated to assault companies where their zealousness and lack of discipline could best be stymied, or at least channeled. Fractious and ill-disciplined, now completely ostracised by the rest of the Legion, they posed something of a problem for their commanding officers and were frequently brought up on charges. Several of them were even subjected to summary execution, something unheard of within the disciplined IIIrd. Being given command of one of the Morrelli quickly came to be viewed as much a punishment for the officer as for the legionary themselves, and the outcasts found themselves passed from squad to squad, never settling. One by one, unmourned by any save each other, they died. One of the last, it was not until he was entrusted to the unforgiving care of Sergeant Awl-Sum that Child Wranbow found his place in the Legion. Something of an outsider himself, though highly respected and more than a little feared, the now grizzled Sergeant had made something of a hobby of collecting waifs and strays. All of his men were misfits of one sort another, who had found themselves ill-suited to life anywhere else.He forged them into one of the most highly skilled units in the entire Legion. Perhaps it was because the role he was made to perform in a Devastator squad was so alien to what he had known before, or simply because of the Sergeant's indomitable personality, but Awl-Sum managed to achieve what no other Sergeant had in years of trying. He made a soldier out of the warrior. A perfect storm of fervor and precision, Child Wranbow became a fearsome sight to behold.
