Well, I am in the mood for some me time these days. Did a lot of freelance work the past couple of weeks. I need to indulge myself every so often.

 

   Starting with this beast. A land raider crusader I got for painting some flames of war tanks. It was already assembled (somewhat badly) and primed black so the rest is easy. It is a mix between the old crusader and the new one. The sponsons are plastic but the frag launchers, assault cannons, and the multi melta is metal so it is a bit hefty which I like.

I airbrushed the red and did some shading with two or three brown variations. It turned out okay.

Some highlights.

Painted one of my favorite sculpts from 4th edition. I wish he had some hair or I was a competent enough with green stuff to give him some but you can't have everything. Only needs his backpack now.

Also inspiration hit me out of nowhere. A model I am not going to use probably. But he will look badass!

Can you guess where I got the inspiration from? Check your BA codex page 27. 

Thanks man. Now that I look carefully, he looks a bit like Hugo Weaving which makes it even better. The veteran is going to take some time. I am still not sure about his belt area, looks a bit empty. I kinda managed to hit the mark with what I had in my mind and thats enough for now.

Are you sure? I know  a pair's not listed but the codex says  'any model can change his bolt pistol and/or chainsword for: list of options.'

I always read that you can change both weapons and that you purchase one lightning claw for each swap so you end up with a pair.

If I'm wrong then I too have an illegal Vanguard Vet!

Well, by that logic you should be able to take two of any weapon listed. Thunder hammers, power fists etc. which didn't make much sense to me. But you might be right I am not sure. Since in space marine codex, you pay 30 pts to get a pair.

When the Codex was written (5th Ed.) taking two of the same specialist weapons made some sense. It was the only way to get an extra attack for having two CCWs with those weapons. Even then putting one specialist weapons each on two models was better than putting both of them on one. Nowadays Lightning Claw and Thunder Hammer/Power Fist would make more sense.

 

As for the the rule you can exchange the chainsword and/or the bolt pistol for one of a list of options. That is pretty clear cut to me.

I really don't know. I have three rhinos, a predator, three LC terminators, a terminator chaplain, a sanguinary priest with jump pack, two captains, a sarge with a combi plasma, a sarge with a power fist, 5 scouts, a drop pod, 3 more sanguinary guard, 10 assault marines and my bits box is full of stuff that I can make more marines with. I am planning on makine another devastator squad with plasma cannons. So as you can tell I have a lot of options to chose from.

Yeah...

That Land Raider is superlative.  Great depth of color for a scheme that can get tedious fast.  What wash were you using?  A red one?

 

And that multi-melta cupola...very nice.  What color is the targeting screen?
