Wicced Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 looking fine brother and the warped resin thing is exactly why i shy away from big forgeworld models. resetting a marine-sized autocannon barrel with hot water is bearable, but i saw spartans and other bigger models that were horribly warped and bent.

Forgeworld will always replace bits if you are not happy with them i know and i did that 3 times for a set of extra land raider armour, but the hassle with waiting for the replacements made me think about ordering a "big" model again...

ThatOneMarshal Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sooooo beautiful I love this base for it as well. I can't wait for my airbrush to come in so I can try this paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yay! First unit of my ETL IV oath done. I already had one set of rapier quad heavy bolters, but now I finished the two from my vow. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.23.13_zpspvpixqsc.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.23.34_zpsaqua6wzm.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.24.31_zpsdwo6cep2.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.27.52_zpszrvoe39y.jpg Hope you like! Replies: @Wicced: I never had problems with FW - of course some of it is warped, but with some bending everything will fit. That's part of the experience! @Aeternas: cheers mate! @TheOneMarshal: You should definitely try out airbrushing mate. Changed my entire painting scheme.

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 BAM! Here's the first of two Predator Annihilators in my vow. On a roll now. The whole weekend, plus Pentecost Monday to paint, paint, paint, paint. And maybe do some building on my Nurgle biker lord and perhaps on the Brass Scorpion. Predator Annihilator http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.20.20_zps24ajly3p.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.20.43_zpstadvv2vz.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.20.36_zpst0vy2ebe.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.20.30_zpsrvy4cfu1.jpg Hope you like. I'll also try to fix my lighting. Sorry for the overexposed pics. @Fangbanger: Cheers, buddy! The girders are plasticard H-beams available in any self-respecting hobby store.

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks Kilofix and TheOneMarshal! I do feel like I owe you all an apology - the picture quality of the original pictures in my last two posts was horrendous. So I redid them and uploaded them into the same comments for your liking. The Rapier Quad Heavy Bolter Batteries are uploaded here. The Predator Annihilator is uploaded in the comment here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicced Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 looks beast mate :tu: but i hate myself for not posting earlier in your WIP, because i wanted to alert you to the mold lines on the gunner's arms and that is my only nitpick on this fantastic new midnight colored monster.

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 ^^Thanks!... on the mold lines: I saw the left arm side, which I fixed. But now YOUR COMMENT made me see the one on the right arm side. Proof that ignorance is bliss. [sarcasm]Thanks, Wicced![/sarcasm] ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Alright, last tank in my first vow finished: the second Predator Annihilator. I tried to really go to town on the trophies, and am starting to actually use Space Marine helmets (something I for no reason in particular shied away from in the not too recent past). Anyway, here his is, in all his glory: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.41.34_zpsdby52a1i.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.41.43_zps3zvmsdya.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.41.53_zpsj3aag2ah.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.42.04_zpsudxk9fos.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.42.24_zpsyha3mlnh.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.42.39_zpsudt6ewbc.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-30%2022.42.53_zpsjsvrkfln.jpg Hope you like! On to the last four bikers, then to the Brass Scorpion, and then my first ETL IV vow is finished! :D Replies! @Wicced: I'll hold you to that, buster! ;) @Eldrick Shadowblade: I feel you, brother. Black Legion are the second most boring Space Marines to paint, after Black Templars. To paint, mind you. The difference between the two is that you will end up with awesome evil Black Legion, and those other guys will end up with derpy Templars. ;) @evildrcheese: Thanks doc! I'm so happy you liked it and more importantly that it was an inspiration to you. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 now that is a tank :tu: i love the lightning and the wings on the turret front. my favourite part modelling wise are the helmet trophies, i think i'll have to use that on my stormwolf conversion ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thanks , Wicced! I'm glad you liked the helmet idea, because it is my most favourite part and a recent 'innovation' in my trophy repertoire. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Maaaaaaaaaate! Each of these tanks, so, so awesome. They all look excellent and with the attention to small details, they all fit so well witht he army theme. Group shot of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you liked the helmet idea, because it is my most favourite part and a recent 'innovation' in my trophy repertoire. it's a great addition to your repertoire how are they affixed? looks like a small nail to me They're actually just superglued to the surface. I then drill a 1mm hole through the helmet and the surface, and then cut off the head of a 1mm nail and insert it in the drilled hole with the point facing outwards. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
