Warsmith Uveron Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Square bases - that's unusual. What made you decide to do them like that? Ah yes.... I use square bases to paint on. They are only attached with a very small amount of superglue. Once they have been painted they will be "poped off" and attached to round bases that have been painted separately!

LutherMax Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ah I see! Makes sense. I sometimes use cork stoppers for the same purpose. Warsmith Uveron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on magnetizing mine and I don't see a proper way to do it ...  I did magnetize the Side Bolters, I also magnetized the Turret. Well I kind of did. The Doors sit in the rhino with friction alone, no Magnets used, as do the guns in the Turret it just slips in and out. The sponsons just used a pair of magnets within the reses of the hull on the rhino and one on the back of the side-sponsors.. there is room for magnets in the area without any drilling. I then renforced the bonds with greenstuff.  I will take some photos at the weekend.

Arkaniss Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thank you both Here you go - usual potato camera quality I'm afraid but it shows what I did. I cut out the ridges (on the inside of the hull side around the door) to slot the metal plate flush and just glued a magnet to the inside of the sponson (and door of course). I would say it's really easy but I know it's not so convenient to get hold of magnetic sheet material as easily as I do - I raid the scrap bin at work!

Arkaniss Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yeah that works just as well, I just wanted to save magnets I did magnetise the turret too so can post pictures if wanted but I suspect it's not really needed - I think I went overkill in that regard. For the guns I should add, the back tanks/ammo definitely need magnetising! Â One thing the Baal kit confirmed for me is how overdue for an update the standard Predator kit is. Just think of the better turret design and of course the far superior and robust sponsons...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 It would be nice to have some weapon upgrade options to. I feel like the Sicaran is what the Predator should've always been though. Â Also, picked up A Deathwatch Cassius yesterday for a Death company chaplain kitbash. Really looking forward to working on it!

Rafen IX Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Toying with the idea of taking an air superiority detachment with 2x Ravens. Mess with reserves (needed versus GC, god I struggle versus them so far) also gets obsec if in hover mode, lastly GC have only flak missiles like us for anti air. hmmm Riot Earp 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Finally finished the painful process of blacking out the details on my devastator squad. Things should go a lot faster from now on. I'll do the shades and the first layer of highlights on the red armor tonight.

Damon Nightman Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I remember everyone (not here necessarily) saying how great vindicators are for us due to fast, but I just learned that a normal vindicator can still move 12 and shoot with POTMS.... So why are they so great for us? The little bit less scatter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us having it is way easier and more potent. Plus we can stick on a storm bolter and fire it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Okay thank you guys! I think my buddy just wasn't too familiar with how it works. Still sounds like we have the "better" vindicators due to fast. Â Thanks again everyone! Edited October 26, 2016 by Brother Lemartes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 You can move 12" and fire a single weapon at normal ballistic skill as a regular vehicle, I think? Fast on Vindicators mostly lets us reposition really easily. I've stopped taking the upgrade, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
