Hey all-- hoping to get back in the (bike) saddle soon. Stay tuned!

Hey all-- hoping to get back in the (bike) saddle soon. Stay tuned!

 

Oh, hey brother. Good to see you're still around. ;)

[geektom]

Works in progress-- proof of life, lol

Oh wow. That drop pod is rather striking. Interesting conversion of your scheme. 

[geektom]

It is a little "stripey" for now, but I will be adding some other detailing that will break up the Easter-egg look a bit.

[JeffTibbetts]

I think it's a smart solution to getting your colors in there. It never would have occurred to me, but then again neither would your bizarre scheme. I still think it's a miracle that they look as great as they do! 

 

On a related note, I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get your seconded Storm Brother into my army. All of my bikes are the Ravenwing ones, so I need to buy a 'plain' one and convert it to your style. I'm looking out for these new "for kids" kits to come out, because I think they're a little cheaper. From there I'll need to convert it a bit to add a horse tail and stuff, which I don't currently have. I did, however, get your paints so I'm ready to rock the recipe when it happens.

Starting some weathering and detailing:

[GhostMalone]

Dude looks sick love the subtlety of your Weathering technique

[Olis]

Looking good so far, brother.

[Thousand Eyes]

Great to see work continues on this chapter.

[Ace Debonair]

That is one excellent drop pod.

[deathspectersgt7]

Reminds me of a Neapolitan Ice cream cup . Really looks Good liking the weathering.

[geektom]

That is one excellent drop pod. :D

Thanks! I need to add the chapter badges and do some brush work. I will post final pictures inside and out soon.

[geektom]

Hey all! Believe it or not, I am still alive. Not a lot to show for it, but I have plans to change that soon.

 

I popped back on to ask a question-- is there any way a 40K Army would have a Contemptor Relic Dread? I am going to be using one in an airbrushing class, and didn't know if I should paint it to my scheme, or paint a 30K chapter and sell it to recoup the cost of the class.

 

Hopefully you will see me here again soon!

 

Thanks!

[Dosjetka]

Yep, you can per the rules in IA 2 (2nd Edition) or the Angels of Death supplement (but which offers you very few options).

[geektom]

I was thinking I might do it as a White Scars and have it as a "Founding Gift" to the Storm brothers.

[JeffTibbetts]

Ahhhhhh! Geektom is back!!! Yay! Yeah, I'd do the dread in your own scheme. The rules are out there

[Andvarr A]

Wow...read it all to catch up, and that's some awesome stuff, with a unique colour scheme. Well done that man!

 

Oh...and the tread-naught is a good one...almost Terminator Hunter-Killers with it....*Terminator theme*

[geektom]

Thanks! yes, the Tread-Naught will be one of the first projects prioritized after my airbrush training.

 

Here is my list of priorities:

 

* Dreads

* finish Landspeeders (50% done)

* finish Sternguard (75% done)

* finish Command Squad on Bike (50% done)

* finish Chaplain Terminator (25% done)

 

After that, I am going to take a break from complicated projects to beef up the core: more bikes, more tactical marines.

 

Still deciding on what my Librarian should look like

[Andvarr A]

You could go for a Buddhist style appearance. With the robes over the armour, and a set of minions carrying his weapons.

 

Or you could do the tribal warrior monk thing?

[geektom]

I sure wish I could find a Librarian model I like-- anyone have a custom or kit-bashed example they really like?

[geektom]

Hey all- I could use some opinions.

 

Ever since I finished my general on the jetbike, I have been less than satisfied with the look of my veterans/elites.

 

My scheme is busy already- adding in all the gold and red accents makes them look almost clownish.

 

How should I correct this? Change the red to the chapter yellow? White?

 

The gold will tone down once I finish highlighting it, but it is still essentially another color, and fours colors is just too much.

 

Help!

Hmm. I have a conversion in a box somewhere intended as an Exorcist captain - basically it is a right metal librarian arm with a sword, iirc, (used because of the horned skull on the pad) plus the 25th anniversary Crimson Fist. A little filing here, a little addition there and presto, a Libby.

In my opinion, the colour scheme needs simplifying. I would suggest losing the purple and the yellow, in favour of the white (seeing as it's a traditional veteran colour). 

[geektom]

Losing the purple and the yellow? Having them all gray/white? 

 

 

I never considered that. My mind is kind of spinning now thinking about that...

[deathspectersgt7]

How about another shade of purple .
