TearsOfTheRaven Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks for the compliment, i was inspired massively by the carcharodons and want to make some of the marines to come as brutal as possible.

Fire Golem Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah that's the direction I think I'm gonna take mine in too. Carcharodons are probably my favourite 40k chapter and RG are one of my favourite legions so the ability to mix them together is awesome :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289446-totrs-raven-guard-attempting-ad-mech/page/6/#findComment-3795853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 inspired by candleshoes (and an idea ive been kicking round for a while) i made a quick knock up of a taller dreadnought (count as contemptor), with a plasma cannon and dccw, should i keep the normal claws or go for the official contemptor humanoid feet? the sarcophagus is no where near complete and neither are the arms, what could i do to improve the overall model? and most importantly, does it look good?  on a side note, the original dread was actually the first 40k raven guard i painted a few weeks after the release of aobr.  sarcophagus, needs to be sanded: http://i.imgur.com/mGk1gIr.jpg extended smoke stacks, not finished: http://i.imgur.com/49FBbWS.jpg plasma cannon: http://i.imgur.com/XN5qS6e.jpg dccw, how would i make this more unique?: http://i.imgur.com/X1230fe.jpg a foot: http://i.imgur.com/1TGIl77.jpg other foot: http://i.imgur.com/JheidXx.jpg all together now!

Slips Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 With the box frame as the center point, the clawed / toe'd feet look better than the "shoes" on a contemptor, makes it look sturdier and have better balance. For the DCCW, the Contemptor Clar or ,if you can get your hands on it, the new Bjorn Claw, I think would look better since RG are ALL about claws.

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 so a friend who is going out of the hobby gave me a half and badly assembled standard land raider. how would you all recommend heresy-ifying it? also, what type of land raider to run it as?

Fire Golem Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You could just use it as is, I think the standard GW vehicles are 'Mars Pattern'.

Slips Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You just cant use the redeemer/crusader patterns the phobos is the standard with 2 twin linked lascannons.

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 in the crusade army list book it doesn't show any upgrades for lr, such as different sponson or pintle/manned weapons. can these not be taken in 30k? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289446-totrs-raven-guard-attempting-ad-mech/page/6/#findComment-3800110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'll look into the entries but I'm pretty sure there should be a list of what they can take...

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 So when i received the land raider from my friend it was already partly assembled (all that was left was sponsons and weapon/sensor mounts) and covered in glue splodges and bits of glue wisps. I did my best to fix the worst of it but theres a bit of work left to do, but after that its on to painting. Paint-wise i was thinking of doing the lower parts of the armour in white, would this be too much? all the parts that can be moved (when i got it) are moveable, and there is just some gap filling to do. the one thing i am unsure of is whether or not to attach the covers to the lascannons, as it restricts the field of movement available to them, thoughts? close ups, including: twin linked bolter and a bit of added armour. http://i.imgur.com/TC0Vs01.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IxtgMtk.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Khe4SCb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uzFFqvL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/B3HOLyn.jpg altogether now! http://i.imgur.com/ogCOSfq.jpg worst affected parts: http://i.imgur.com/8rPCvpC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/bIwEJhM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AKC5A4f.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LXWstom.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289446-totrs-raven-guard-attempting-ad-mech/page/6/#findComment-3801895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 whilst throw bits together i created these two, the axe-man is getting a new weapon head and a fancy back/jet pack, whilst the one built out of the pa preator is set to become a (mayhaps) one off blood angel. also let me know if you think the photo quality is better or worse, i took these with my new phone and they look better (to me) than my rubbish £30 chehttp://i.imgur.com/w9pK00H.jpgapo tesco camera.  http://i.imgur.com/XvhILG3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0itRLTE.jpg  trying to find cool etch brass parts i found these, but the translations i'm getting seems a bit off; for raptor caedes it translates as beater murder and moriorum translates as dies. And i'm guessing that corvus ferrox means something like iron raven? can anyone make sense of these? http://i.imgur.com/gyv58NB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wNIE68n.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289446-totrs-raven-guard-attempting-ad-mech/page/6/#findComment-3804608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That Axeman looks awesome, why the weapon change? And what to?

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 the top of the axe is really chewed up (by a cat) and the join is all gunky. i was probably gonna change it too another axe head from my bits box.

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 would the mk 4 (mars pattern?) from the mk4 weapon pack work?

Fire Golem Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The axe you mean? I should think so, might be a bit slender for such a long handle though.

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 i was thinking of making it 2 headed as i have 2 of the mk4 axes, would that be any better?

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 so after swapping out the axehead for a new one, i decided it might look cooler with a backspike for the reverse swing, would one of the talons from a cataphractii terminator lc work? or would it be too big/small? also does the axehead look to small, i quite like it and find it reminiscent of a bardiche (sp?), or would it look better with a bigger one? as far as got characters go, i was thinking of having be the kings headsman/justice, ser ilyn payne. if he was this, fluffwise he would be the right hand of the preator (yet to be made) and would need to be suitably high ranking, so i was thinking either line command or command variant for the airborne part of the army (82nd airborne, raven guard legion), thoughts? full shot, all tacked atm: http://i.imgur.com/UdVVk6W.jpg axe shot: http://i.imgur.com/r5gXfow.jpg talons for reverse spike?: http://i.imgur.com/7OTZhwi.jpg iconography chart, also what helmet variation?: http://i.imgur.com/1mhhKNi.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289446-totrs-raven-guard-attempting-ad-mech/page/6/#findComment-3806754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I like that axe :) I'm not sure about the back spike, one would look cool, but I don't know the size comparisons of the LC and the axe. And I like the white helmet with the black stripe.

TearsOfTheRaven Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 It just feels unfinished to me for some reason, bit I don't know. And do you mean talon leader? Airborne could count as a talon but I'm not sure.

Fire Golem Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It looks okay as is but a backspike would look cool too. And yeah Talon leader.
