GrunTeufel Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) 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. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-15230825_zps8f49dd48.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-15230846_zps3b070c3a.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-15230858_zps03048868.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-15230929_zps7bbc3f0c.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-15230948_zpsbcdbec04.jpg I airbrushed the red and did some shading with two or three brown variations. It turned out okay.

GrunTeufel Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Sponsons are almost finished. Engine block completed. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-16132200Medium_zps2440eff3.jpg A small mishap during the masking process caused this.

GrunTeufel Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Assault cannon and sponsons completely finished. Lenses done. I find that I like the old style sponson shields better. They have more character. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-19024149_zpsb966a622.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-19024208_zps17d95ff5.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-19024253_zps945ed944.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-19024305_zpsd7a0321e.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-19024404_zps018966fa.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-19024414_zpsbdf13acd.jpg No decals for this guy.

GrunTeufel Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Almost there now. The smoke launchers, the melta turret and BA logos are all in place. Next is chipping and and weathering. After that some varnish and decals and varnish again and my second land raider is finished. I acquired two more rhinos and a predator annihilator so I have lots to do after this but it was fun. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000035_zps28c1b82d.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000044_zps0822b1ef.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-23032623_zps1c716d30.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000106_zps9eb67db4.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000200_zpsc663a92d.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000213_zps7441f2c9.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000237_zps0c40ccad.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000250_zps2956d2bd.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000312_zps9ac10d4a.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000325_zps956a7c12.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000409_zps7842be21.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-25000441_zps1cb82d5d.jpg alejandrinus, chaplainmikey, knife&fork and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298025-gruns-wip-and-etl-challange-update-thread/#findComment-3843441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrunTeufel Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 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. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-30233747_zps16e5e4b0.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-30233822_zps31adf67b.jpg Also inspiration hit me out of nowhere. A model I am not going to use probably. But he will look badass! http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-30233923_zpsf0af6a87.jpg Can you guess where I got the inspiration from?

GrunTeufel Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 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. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-10-30234142_zps3ee47229.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298025-gruns-wip-and-etl-challange-update-thread/#findComment-3848877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The screen on the sergeant's auspex is incredible and the vanguard veteran (I assume) looks boss.

GrunTeufel Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Since our vanguard vets can't get lightning claws in pairs he is not legal yet. But he is a veteran yes.

sockwithaticket Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 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!

GrunTeufel Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 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.

Quixus Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 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.

sockwithaticket Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 As the specialist pistols are on that same equipment list I think it does make sense that you can make two exchanges, otherwise we'd not be able to get Infernus or Plasma pistol gunslingers.

GrunTeufel Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 What do you know, my model is legal. Good to know. I almost never spend any points on my vanguard vets when I deploy them but that might change with the new codex.

GrunTeufel Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 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. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-11-02191205_zps299ee494.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2014-11-02192946_zps586d3e50.jpg Yeah... alejandrinus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298025-gruns-wip-and-etl-challange-update-thread/#findComment-3851192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovidius Incertus Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 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?
