diy chapter-scythes of draconia- arms, finally


Recommended Posts

hmmmm, okay so i think i can see where the communal desires lie, so what about this?

mkIV venerable dread chassis

contemptor claw, and mk/IV inferno cannon (already have a contemptor assault cannon and mkIV left claw)

apothecary set

MKIV despoiler squad

phobos chainaxes

MKIV power weapons

character conversion set

i think that is a good meeting point between the 2, don't y'all?laugh.png

speaking of characters, i had the joy of pulling out my to paint box over the weekend, and decided to paint up frontal captain Oberon, he has magnets to switch between jump pack and iron halo power plant. (does his power axe look okay??? i was going for a black blade with blue power field, and don't think i'm too sure about it...ermm.gif )

i counted to 10...dry.png

oh ya, i will be marking pauldrens for him and the over captain (headswap 25th anniversary model) red for captain. as well as all veteran sergeants (no regular sergeants in the scythes, based on how long they survive, not gifting the rank out, if you know what i mean) in black, and line marines will be regular armour grey. the terror squads, well, they are their own thing...whistling.gif

I really should have been doing homework... but, my parents made the mistake of feeding my other addiction, by getting me a new notebook, which they had no idea would be put to its' current use...

my version of a sentinel:

and a contemptor with a rotor autocannon:

Hmmm.... Trigonometric right triangles, or adeptus astartes.....

 

 

Yeah, I think my decision was made the moment my dad handed me one of his old white dwarf magazines 7 years ago! ;)

Trigonometry... brings back memories.

wish i had the memory to know half the stuff my teacher tells us. sweat.gif

All I ever got was Guns And Ammo.

ya, I'm a southern boy,and Boy scouts has given me many an opportunity to use them, mostly just putting lead downrange and hoping it'll nick the target, but it's the experience that counts. laugh.png

We'll, In person, I don't see it nearly as bad as it looks in the picture, and I have a ton of time constraints, so, have to squeeze the minutes I get, so they are usually rushed slightly and (brace for heresy) straight from the paint pots.

 

I know, it's a shame that I bear, but bear it I must! For otherwise I would never be getting much done until late May and early June, when the constraints of the scholarly houses are lifted for the season of summer. I would much rather go back and strip down the paint later with a more practiced eye to give a better paint job, than have them sitting idly like my necron dynasty, lizardmen horde, and dwarven throng...

 

If it were merely building, then perhaps it would be a slightly different story, but, until I get my time back, I have the viewpoint that having something, even if it can be better (which it always can be), is better than having expensive shrink wrapped boxes stacked one atop another with a cool label and fancy name that only gets opened but a few months a year.

 

In the future, I do think I need to thin them, any good techniques other than mixing with water or thinner??? I am most open to suggestions to better my hands at the hobby!

okay, i got some spare time on my hands over the past few days. so i painted up an allied imperial guard sentinel in the color scheme i would like to use for them, khorne red with a mephiston red highlight, and copper/iron metallics. eventually i will be getting acual troops and tanks, but i hate painting flesh, so i will eventually be buying forgeworld hostile environment conversion sets... eventuallysweat.gif

here is the sentinel:

high five!

lastly. a bitz marine who has yet to be named, he literally was made out of whatever i could find, and i think he deserves to go helmetless.

i'm thinking of a scout commander or something... C/C? please and thank you!

Your recent marines are showing quite a bit of character; although I think your bits marine might be a bit too "busy".

 

 I like the idea of him being a scout commander/captain- perhaps if you removed the totem pole, added a cape and maybe a pointing arm instead of the hamlet pose with the eldar helmet it would convey him taking a knee and pointing out a target for a marksman scout to neutralize?  Just a thought.

Hmm that is a good idea, I have the bits to do a pointing power fist, or regular hand... What's your preference?

Actually, another pistol may look good too....
Gaah so many choices!
Thanks tongue.png

i'm soooo glad that I can magnetize decently....

hello everyone!

this is an overly lengthy and picture heavy update on my stuff in general, some off topic stuff, and some space marine goodness ensues:

it has been an unacceptably long time since i have updated this thread, because, as some of you may or may not know, i have been working on a non warhammer model for a contest that takes place starting this weekend called Wonderfest. (that plus, life and exams and stuff)

anyywayyyy, i only have one final to take because i am exempt from the others, so i should be able to relax a slight bit, and managed to actually get some stuff done!smile.png

so, for my warhammer related half of the update, i created a captain from the jump pack chaplain kit in the style of a very.... interesting chapter that i will be creating a good squad or two for, called the gore wyverns. now, before you see the pics, i'fd like to clear up that they are loyalists, and sons of corax to boot, but what really makes them unique, is their status as 21st founders from the raven guard, and their exemplary abilities as terror units. (if you couldn't tell, i love me a good scary marine with extra scares to stack on top of the fact they're 8 foot tall superhumans encased in uber armor and stuff) their fluff and background is being made as of right now, but i am about to post the little bit that i got done in the Liber.

pictures!!!:

alright, now that i'm back from my little camping trip, i got some work done on my mkIV squad....

and let's just say that it's something a bit ambitious msn-wink.gif

here's the second member of squad invax "the immortals"

tactical variation:

[/url]">http://gallery_77140_9207_141309.jpeg

assault variation:

[/url]">http://gallery_77140_9207_155955.jpg

devestator variation:

[/url]">http://http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/131379-photo1/'>gallery_77140_9207_250304.jpg

fully customizable, and fully interchangable with all of my other elite units (which i went back and carefully removed :read- pried off: all of their arms from their torsos) to make happy fun customizing times. biggrin.png

i have several other squad mates, but they will come one a day, i don't want to overload the thread all at once, and suspense is fun!

comments are more than welcome, constructive or otherwise!
