And obligatory wargamers "belfie" ( beverage selfie ;) )

Not bad at all!

 

I love your plasma blues.

 

The only thing I'd suggest is to try a wash or somesuch on the legion skull's crevices. Wings look good, but he's a little flat right now. 

[helterskelter]

Oh I know about the skull don't worry :) was next on the list with the sponsons and chains before weathering. Haven't finished on the wings yet either to be honest

[deathspectersgt7]

Looking pretty spiffy . But where are the Dark Angel Corpses?

[helterskelter]

Corpses shall be added when victory is achieved.

Looks Great HS. 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Those lions certainly add tons of character to an already wicked looking vehicle. Great work, buddy!

 

The weathering is spot-on and the trophies look wicked. I thicnk though, that you could've done a little better with the sculpted skull on the legion symbol.... you made the mistake we all make when drawing skulls and put too much room between the nose and the teeth. But all in all - fantastic tank, and a great addition to your collection. Speaking of which - can we get a group shot?

 

Also: great choice of beer. I hope you drank it out of the proper glass and not straight out of the bottle.

 

[helterskelter]

Thanks dss7

 

And thanks Augustus, I'll keep that in mind for the next skull I attempt, I found trying to scale the skull with the wings and still have it look ok to be a challenge. Next time, brother, next time. And once I recover my models from the other location I will happily oblige.

And no I'm radically uncouth. It'd out the bottle or a drinking horn usually

[Atia]

really cool :)

 

i love the lions and the plasmacannon looks ace too!

Haha not to worry buddy, drinking from a horn is good too (just remember that if you drink form the bottle, the yeast is mixed with the beer, which sours it slightly - unless you like that)! About sculpting or painting skulls: I've found that it helps enormously to just have an example - just google 'skull' and check the images :tu:

Praevian in Progress! Coming soon robots and a half dead guy driving a robot :p

[Augustus b'Raass]

Nice, dude. Looking great. WHat's it supposed to represent? And is that combo legal (2LCs + Plasma pistol)? 

[helterskelter]

Perfectly legal. He may take a volkite and he replaced his bolt pistol and ccw with a pair of lightning claws :D

[Augustus b'Raass]

Oh right, it's a volkite. Sorry, I'm not that knowledgeable about the HH weapons. And you've just come up with a way to shoot a gun with your hands into enormous claws. +'

[Luna707]

The VIII are definitely one of my least favorite legions, but you are starting to change my mind! I love the conversions, Keep it up!

[helterskelter]

Luna707 there are many more a talented converter than I who could do a better job of convincing you!

 

Next up I can finally put my oversize chain glaive to use

i love the old skool claw / power scourge!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Cool updates. The chainglaive wielding dready is... interesting. I'm a bigger fan of your conversion of the plastic dread with the power scourge - excellent idea! But the prize for coolest thing I have never seen before anywhere goes to that back pack on the left hand MkIV marine. Awesome, awesome idea! :tu:
