Thrillhouse Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I would like to claim the naming rights to one of your scouts. Feels appropriate as I am new here aswell. Id like to name him after another german madman, Werner Herzog. But I will replace Werner with something shorter, something that sounds (relatively young). - Oto Herzog Is that okay? Feel free to alter it if you need to. Oto is one of the least experiences of the neophytes, having been seriously injured early in the campaign and forced to heal for a considerable amount of time. To the brothers that dont know him it may seem like nothing leaves any impression on this shallow and unempathic jokester. But the truth is he has returned to the battlefield with a need to prove himself in his own eyes and those of the chapter.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Alright, it's Friday, so update time! This time with I Scout Squad! Now, scouts are pretty generic models, even with all the ammo and other bits on them. Except for the head swaps with the AM scion duders, I didn't do anything special with them. I originally didn't want to do any individual shots of them, but the comms officer IS actually a conversion, so I'll just feature them all. Also: Telion in Imperial Fists Colours. Swiss Cheese here I come. Scout Captain Kirdel Tion Scout Captain Tion of 10th company is a legend among his subordinates, who operates from the shadows in the field as he does during operations. If the mission requires it, however, he personally oversees specialist long range shooting operations, for his strategic timing is rivalled only by that of a few Company Captains.http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_018_zpsmmnm2ldm.jpg I Scout Squad http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_022_zpsgg4vpz5k.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_021_zpsy9acdmuw.jpg Sergeant - Hradin Voroka - Kelborn Voroka is agile, resourceful, and has a tactical mind that is perfect for covert operations. He therefore was never inducted into any of the Chapter´s Battle companies, but remained in the Scout Company and dedicated his duties to training initiates.http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_029_zpsoiwrwxa7.jpg Heavy Weapons Specialist - Metzger Anderr - SalvationOfReason Anderr is a recent addition to I Scout Squad, having only recently graduated from the initiation trials of the Imperial Fists. His propensity for heavy weapons became apparent quite early in the trials, and he was allowed to specialise sooner than others. His future as a true brother in one of the battle companies is all but guaranteed. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_037_zpseruggtf5.jpg Comms Specialist - Anselm Cynebalt - kobrakei Cynebalt's is a comms specialist against his will. After repeated signs of individualism, Captain Tion ordered him to a serve a five year penitent duty, so as to teach Cynebalt to operate as part of a team. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_034_zpsimcnps6j.jpg This guys is a nifty conversion, if I may say so myself. His left arm is a scout combat knife arm and shoulder, with a Scions hand with communicator, of which the cable is connected to the body on the back with a simple blob of milliput. The right arm is a scout bolt pistol arm and shoulder, with a BaC bolter and hand. The antennae are from mechanicum kits, which I got from KrautScientist. Thank buddy! Battle Brother - Gerbern Meinrad - Alpharaz II Scout Squad's former comms specialist, Meinrad reluctantly accepted his return to a duty as a brother initiate. His is now dedicated to show sergeant Voroka that despite his skill as a specialist, he is able to perform regular duties still. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_026_zpsv7jcz6ep.jpg Battle Brother - Albert Trum - Midnight Runner A taciturn scout, initiate Trum has consistently shown his skill as a scout and his mastery of all scout operations. He has recently conveyed his desire to serve as a scout sergeant in the near future. Sergeant Voroka deemed speaking about desire as an unwanted sign of ambition, and reminded Trum that patience is a trait he still needs to learn before he´ll truly be ready as a scout sergeant. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_023_zpsrlto2rwo.jpg I hope you like them! C&C Most welcome, as always! Replies: @Thrillhouse: I know right? @kelborn: Well.. just... thank, dude! I generally cheat with the blending because I use an airbrush, but thanks! I hope you like your squad mates! @AlphariusOmegon: Your squad will probably be up later today, as I only have to do the bases and the transfer work on them.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks everyone! After posting the last update, I thought to myself "why would I not convert the scouts too? I'm pretty happy with the comms specialist, why don't I do that to the sergeant too?". So I stopped finishing II Scout Squad, brought out some tools and plastic scouts, and went to work. And now I have two sergeants, ready to rumble (well, after they get some paint on them). One of these will have Kelborn's Hradin Voroka's head and become I Scout's Sergeant. The other will become II Scout Squad's sergeant. So sorry, but II Scout Squad is not finished yet. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_045_zpsyayqhgxg.jpg UPS also came by and delivered the thudd guns I ordered! Yay! I while back I had the idea to use them as Thunderfire Cannon stand-ins. This was the concept sketch using my awesome powerz of microsoft paint: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Naamloos_zps6wa1q4jc.jpg So I went to work on them, I simply sawed off the details of the inner parts of the Kataphron Battle Servitors, filled the gap behind the upper axis with putty, and pushed in the axis of the gun's carriage. Other than a pin, it's a very easy conversion. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_043_zpsv0pbwwog.jpg I also slightly shortened the front shield's lower part on both sides. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_044_zpse60qgztx.jpg It´s pretty much good to go. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160108_067_zpsri0x2k7t.jpg Cool huh?? I´m very pleased with how it has turned out!! I have three of them, but sadly only one techmarine to go with them. Perhaps I'll paint one this weekend (as the GF is out of town). I plan on magnetizing the whole gun to the base for gaming purposes - no sense in limiting it to certain places... Anyway, I hope you like the scouts and the thunderfire/thudd cannon! C&C welcome as always! Cheers! Replies: @FLint13: Thank you! The black is growing on me indeed. I've started using GW Skavenblight Dinge a lot, mixing it with AP Matt Black and VMC Off White to darken or brighten it. Pretty cool to work with. The beard came out wonderfully indeed - looks just like mine. Not as glorious as your GIF dude by far though. @Alpharaz: Haha cheers buddy, you're most welcome. I'll be using Tion as Telion with Ultramarine tactics, because it's not possible to use him with Imperial Fists tactics. This means I'll have to ally a small Ultramarines force (in yellow colours because cheese ), consisting of Telion, one scout squad, and a heavy support choice consisting of three rapiers with quad heavy bolters. Telion then will give the rapiers Rending. 18 TL S5 AP4 shots with rending, baby YEAH! It's called Swiss Cheese because it cuts through your stuff like an army knife. @GrandMagnus: cheers buddy. They fit pretty well. Only some slight dremmeling to make room for the Scion necks and you're done. @Leviathus: Don't they? Thanks buddy! @Barrabas Sogalon: yeah buddy I feel your pain. it's even colder in Norway than it is in Northern Netherlands, right? Hopefully the Africa for Norway initiative will be ready for you guys this year too.

codyrstuart Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hell, if points (or model numbers) become an issue, just run them as quad mortar Rapiers! They look great for both! I was originally thinking Taurox tracks for my makeshift Rapier platforms, but you may have just sold me on the kataphron tracks.

Athrawes Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wonderful work, as others have said! I'm particularly fond of the shading on the yellow. Yellow is one of those colors that just kills me when done well, and looking at yours knocks me right out. Well done. Additionaly, the gun-carriage for the thud gun is looking slick, the mechanicus range has proven great for kitbashers of all kinds.
