I'm an enabler. Do it. Do it now.

Olis · March 17, 2016

Sure. Why not.

GhostMalone · March 17, 2016

@ Reyner- well that's the issue currently, im just receiving legionary kits for this bloody space wolves and thousand son project so I'm just focused on that side the reviews which I'm slowly getting out to the inter webz which makes me continuously put off starting my militia.

@ thehydra- that word is the bane of my existence, I'll make you a deal we both focus on a project and the beers are on me when you get the nads to come visit

Daemon2027 · March 17, 2016

I'd need a project first lol. But I'll take up the beer offer when I make it down to you.

Olis · March 17, 2016

@ olis- as the unofficial boss and proprietor of this thread I'll take your blessing as a green light

Sweet. I'm a proprietor of something. :D

Imperial Militia Project Log; Vostroyan Legate Commander & Command Squad

So finally I'm ready to start my next Project, now here's a quick ramble to support why I've decided to go down this path. First up there aren't many Imperial Militia armies out there that well to be honest are that good, now this isn't to be a rat-dog towards anyone doing a militia project, I just haven't come across many good attempts at recreating the Imperial Army. So I thought to myself well everyone's doing Astrates and your lacking motivation so how about we plan something out?

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/images-490_zpsw463kohn.jpeg

That's when I came across all of John blanches original sketches for the Imperial army in my visions of heresy (when I was doing the review) and finally it hit me! Vostroyans a fully vostroyan John blanche inspired force in the trenches!!! So with a vision I started to stockpile.

so I thought I'd start with my HQ choices, now with the ability to take the provinces of war I decided as the army is vostroyan the right combination would be Survivors of the dark age of technology & Gene Crafted, this allows me to take Land raiders as dedicated transports for some units, with this in mind I decided hell what the :cuss let's do it. Plus who doesn't dig a beard?

So here's the beginning of my Army, I still have to add another 4 grenade launchers and an officer for the squad to be maxed out, also I need a cyber familiar so I'm thinking I'll get a cyber mastiff (if anyone would be willing to donate one I'd be so bloody thankful if not I'll hunt one down)

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160318_155621_zps3pqewyok.jpg

so here we have the Legate commander he's stock with a Paragon Blade and Power Fist, competitively he's not going to be great but I love the stock model.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160318_155641_zpsnag7etlm.jpg

next up we have the standard Bearer for the squad, nothing says morale like a bearded shirtless bear grylls, I can't wait to use this army against Kizzdougs.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160318_155655_zpsp4qx2ohg.jpg

Vox Operator with Cognis Signum, I'll be keeping this guy safe to Bombard the enemy with my Medusas with Breacher shells.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160318_155610_zpsrzur2ssg.jpg

Grenade Launching bodyguard now I will be running 7 of these guys laying down frag and krak rounds to act as a detergent to the enemy.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160318_155558_zpsvo5q3hfg.jpg

Grenade Launching bodyguard conversion from the medic model, now ill be sculpting in the apothecarium symbol on his shoulder pad and building a verb race over the new hand, I thought fluff wise he can be a trained medic but I still need him with a grenade launcher to make the squad legal.

So what do you guys think about the start of this project? Let me know

Reyner · March 18, 2016

Vostroyans rock man! Love it haha :D

Arac · March 18, 2016

Yeah Vostroyans rock. But I'd advice against converting the medic into something else. He's better used as a proper medic if you ask me.

I'm all over #savetherh1n0, no 20-man blobs for the White Scars! (Historically, Genghis Khan's horde operated on a decimal-based division-system too )

This blog is so damn motivational.

The Rhinos look easy to work with, they use similar side panels to the Deimos vindicator and I'll be looking to get some eventually.

It's a shame the Legion cerberus still gas separate track pieces!

Oh... You have too much money by the way :-D

GhostMalone · April 1, 2016

Thanks buddy if it helps one person out there its all worth it, now I'm not 100% happy with the cast tracks and later in the evening I'll post the build of the Spartan and you'll understand.

The way the resin release gates are placed I had heaps of air bubbles underneath when I cut the gate off which is going to need a bit of work to fix

Jolemai · April 1, 2016

Having put together a Cerberus myself a few years back, I'm interested to see how your build goes. No plans on doing anything fancy with magnets?

Also, your Sicaran went together better than mine :(

ThatOneMarshal · April 1, 2016

I'm liking all of this, very helpful for the future! This is definetly helping me to get myself some forgeworld resin, originally I was overwhelmed by all the construction due to my bad experience with GW vehicles.

Going to buy myself a leviathan in a day or two so I have to see if you've done a construction for that.

GhostMalone · April 1, 2016

@jolemai- there's a lot of magnets awaiting delivery for all the sponsons, im not a fan of magnetizing mostly because I really don't travel with my armies or do weapon swaps if I want say a heavy bolter variant sicarian I'll buy another one ;)

@thatonemarshall- I haven't posted one yet as I built mine before photos for the review but I'm hoping my next fw order will be ready to put through next fortnight, I'll throw one in to do a review for you.

Ohh and remember these reviews are just my way, other people might do things differently or more extensively, im sort of a lazy hobbyist so I tend to just throw stuff together

GhostMalone · April 1, 2016

Now I promised the builds but honestly I'm half cut right now and I've got another 4 stubbies to drink then I'm crashing for the night, so instead leave me some motivation and feedback in whatever form you wish and I'll do it in the morning.

In fact tomorrow ill spend the whole day hobbling if you motivate me enough.

So ill see you chaps in the morning

Jolemai · April 1, 2016

@jolemai- there's a lot of magnets awaiting delivery for all the sponsons, im not a fan of magnetizing mostly because I really don't travel with my armies or do weapon swaps if I want say a heavy bolter variant sicarian I'll buy another one

Fair enough. I magnetised (badly because I'm a n00b) the hinge on the hull weapon to allow it to move up and down (and I was kinda considering kitbashing it to be a Typhon). Will be doing the sponsons but I'll likely pin any pintle weaponry.

The Sicaran is the same, but I'm also considering using a 25 mm base with my Legion/Chapter emblem on it for the times when I run it without.

Dantay VI · April 1, 2016

Kurama, this thread rocks, and keep making me want to buy more resin!!

I'd tell you to stop, but hot-damn... And the reviews of the builds really help.

Keep trucking..

Jolemai, what size magnets do you use? I am considering magnetiing the cannon on my Typhon,

Jolemai · April 1, 2016

UK based, I've bought the N52 neodymium ones from Guy's Magnets. Bought the 2 x 1 mm and 3 x 1 mm, the hinge was whatever fitted. I have yet to do the sponsons, but I know some use rings rather than discs?

I have a pack of these from Darksphere too.

Dantay VI · April 1, 2016

I used Spider Magnets on Ebay. I have some 5mm magnets, but I thought they would be a bit puny for the main gun of the typhon.

I think mine are N52's aswell

Will have a look at what you have linked to
