Shots fired!!!

Yeah they've been coming through slowly for the past 2 years as I had 2 sets which isn't uncommon but is extremely rare for bothering upper and lower jaw so I've got another 4 to remove now

You say the blood angel, I see head of the gorgon IH out flanking toaster predators :p

Soldier of Dorn · April 18, 2016

So let me know how your feeling and how you think I'm progressing with these kits, has it been helpful in your hobbying lately or has it given you more of an idea on what to expect etc? Just leave a comment and tell me how to improve after all this thread isn't for me its for you guys out there in the Internet and Augustus b'rass who's most likely kicking back in Gratchengordal west or somewhere in the spring weather enjoying life while I'm here in renmark on the murray river going ohh I'd love some epic apple pie but no all I get it is beer and parmis!

They're really helpful. I expect to put my first large FW order in around the end of the summer and your reviews have given me a really good sense of what to expect. Please, continue on! :tu:

The Breacher Sergeant looks really badass, by the way. I plan on ordering a full squad when I finally get round to it, and the way you've kitted him out looks awesome, definitely something to keep in mind for inspiration. Kinda surprising that they still come with the old style bolters, though. I guess that's just one more reason to buy the kit.

so it's still an hour till I'm supposed to get ready for work, so I thought you know what while I'm on a role let's get another Review up, so continuing in good fashion here's Kurama's quick run through for the Predator Infernus.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160413_164033_zpsp1e3z4cp.jpg

We start like always with some resin and plastic components like so.

so once you've built your main hull to this point we can start adding the resin components, now remember if your not sure refer to other reviews and also those instructions you get

Dantay VI · April 19, 2016

WOW!!

Must buy more tanks!

Bw, gonna have to drop out of the Kurama banner challenge. Not enough time.

Basic concept was to use various FW models to make the eye of Horus.

Thunderhawk for the downward arrow, tanks making the eye outline, Caestus for the top of the arrow above the eye. Fire Raptor and Storm Eagle making the tips of the eye :)

Then a B&C log th the left and a pic of Kurama to the right

Unfortunately I do not have the photoshop-fu to pull it off, nor the time to print cut out, glue down and then scan.

GhostMalone · April 19, 2016

Damn it brother, I'd extend the entry sate just to see that

Jolemai · April 19, 2016

Have you glued the barrels? Should make painting fun if you have *shudder*

Have you got a Deimos (chibi) Vindicator review yet?

Chaeron · April 19, 2016

Bases look great Kurama!

And big fan of that Breacher Sergeant pose - very nice.

Dantay VI · April 19, 2016

Nah, don't extend it! Someone else is free to run with the idea. Them's the breaks

The next 3 weeks, I am going to be changing jobs and got a lot of decorating n fixing to do.

Plus a lot of behinds the scenes stuff for Wolves in the ETL.

If nobody does do it, I'll have a crack when I get the time.

GhostMalone · April 19, 2016

@jolemai- yeah they are glued

GhostMalone · April 25, 2016

Well boys and girls etl is upon us and with such a momentous event on the horizon I thought I'd clear my head and take some time off after etl.

This means once the competition winners from the two events are done from the mini events I'm running I'll be putting away my hobby bitz and leaving my resin stockpile to gather dust.

My reasoning is two fold, I really want to focus on my Vostroyans and they will utilize more GW plastic kits like the baneblade Ogryns & sentinel models meaning I won't be reviewing them, and secondly I've been away from my misses now for nearly 5 months and I've spent every weekend working overtime or driving 600km round trips to see her & honestly I'm exhausted from it.

So until she relocates I'm going to try devide my time more evenly over the rest of the year. I also need to get my army ready for a game against Kizzdougs and after etl I'll have a fair chunk done and for those of you that know the geographic location of myself and kizzdougs will realise I'm going to be driving a 1200km round trip to see that son of a bitch ;)

This is by no way a resignation or a I quit moment this is giving a heads up to everyone to let them know my intentions.

I also will take some requests for reviews during this period, im currently sitting on a Xiphon and Deimos Vindicator request but will do my best to give the community what I can within reason. After all I'm pretty much starting to slow down mentally and only etl is keeping me motivated

Ishagu · April 25, 2016

I've had a big catch up with this topic.

I loved seeing the Typhon construction and the MkIIB Landraider... Though the Landraider might be more trouble than it's worth. I'm considering one eventually as I want my Heresy force to look as authentic as possible, though I'm still using 40k Rhinos :-/

I also caught the message about your fiancé crashing a car, hope everything was well in the end!

Your hobby budget is literally 10x mine. I spend quite a bit, but this topic blog is testament to something on a different level!

Assault Ram is a flyer I'm actually looking to get eventually. Imo the only one worth considering from an actual game perspective, and can use it for a Termie transport :-D

Also, I agree with your outlook on the Vindicator Laser Destroyer. The kit is easy to put together, reasonably priced and very effective in the game. I get scared about facing them in game :-/

GhostMalone · April 30, 2016

Thanks ishagu buddy I'm happy I've convinced you to purchase more resin

helterskelter · April 30, 2016

Typhon and Death Guard, because the iron hands don't have characters yet and yellow is evil so you wouldn't have gotten Polux

GhostMalone · April 30, 2016

:cuss son your straight on it!

helterskelter · April 30, 2016

I have a cookie/biscuit addiction that needs fuelling

GhostMalone · May 8, 2016

So I have another forgeworld order arrived which means another influx of reviews, but due to the worse hangover I've had in years crippling me today I unfortunately will be putting them off for a bit.

(Spent all of last night and the early hours of this morning on the piss with the lads. Which in turn meant busting put moves smashing the drinks and getting all round wrecked... I have however got my mate luke on board to try his hand at 30k so I'll be setting that up for during etl)

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-05-08_10.01.54_zpsletvrszh.jpg

Each of the lads are all my workers and this is the pre etl piss up so no more drinking till the AoD win this year

So more to come I'm still alive just very very very hungover

@Kurama - More power to you on the ETL front!

Off the grog for 3 Months! Strewth the mind boggles.

GhostMalone · May 9, 2016

Yep 3 months no booze should be a challenge to say the least, now I've got to put a call out if anyone has any valhallan minis they are looking at getting rid of send me a PM.

I've decided valhallan models will make for great conscripts for my militia and the vastroyans will be my grenadiers.

Speaking of which 6 days till I can start with my Imperial Militia updates

Imperial Knight; Renegade

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/60010699006_ImperialKnightRenegadeENG12_zps96nyauro.jpg

So once again I'm returning to my thread, but this time with something different. Now I know this game is based in the 4 41st millennium but we ignore that and we call it Imperial Knight; Questoris! So why did I pick this up? Well for $245 Aud I'm getting $340ish Aud value plus I can look now at expanding into a new Questoris Knight based army. Now this box is a self sufficient game with rules and crap for renegade knight houses and all that crap but I'm not buying it for that (if you want me to go into the rules I will in another post) so let's take a gander inside.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160510_162503_zps8ggr4dae.jpg

box art is pretty cool eye catching and gives an idea of what it contains

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160510_162545_zpsah8s5duk.jpg

nice and neat good work GW

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-05-10%2018.26.07_zps3tmyaexp.jpg

so two knights with only one Upgrade sprue for the fist and gattling cannon, some terrain which I'll stockpile for my next army board and a pathetic piece of piss transfer Sheet. I'm actually really :cussing annoyed that GW give you :cussing no options other than house tyranis and there's barely any individuality that can come from it, the least they could have done was put in 1 of the transfer sheets.

Lucky enough I'm set but a single Sheet of transfers would be appreciated compared to that piece of :cuss.

http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-05-10%2018.25.50_zpstitfsizb.jpg

and the instruction booklet, rules, damage cards, so really the main worth this had for myself was the ability to now have 3 Questoris Knight titans allied to my militia. So with this kit I'll build a gallant and use only Mechanicum based Armour ain't no smooth plates for me! And I'm deciding between a Maegera or a paladin or a Warden.

So let me know what you'd like to see and drop a comment below, also the new Review logo competition will be finalized next Monday so if your keen on an original conversion of your loadout choice drop an entry and the best man will win.

P.s. sorry that it's short I'm just not really in the posting mindset so I'll ensure the next Review has more substance

The4thHorseman · May 14, 2016

Your Reviews are always so good. Thanks for Reviewing Renegade, I was interested in seeing what it was all about before I sunk any money into it.
