Ishagu Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Oh man I was just imagining the stress the tracks might cause as well.

GhostMalone Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks for the replies guys I'll get to individual responses in the morning, but before I turn in for the night I'll give one more review;    http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/3dmQe8U92D5YO8uxfu_YWflr5Cb6vkCrwaEfSV7JEwxiTlinnmt1Qhi73v5uNkA02giG-36ylUSdmtGiWINfxDJ0qN4Ngsua1hMCz0s5ra14uLqyGxAHRIKEUjE_zps7efxogtk.jpeg  Legion MkIV Techmarine  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/99550101462_MkIVTechmarine01_zpsl416wjzy.jpg  well now this bad boy is a beauty of a model, I was so impressed with this blister I decided to take it behind a high school toilet and get it pregnant (cue Tracy Jordan and his impeccable laugh) but really everyone pick one up it looks pretty sweet and I can't wait to see the MkIII counterpart.  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-02-28%2016.36.13_zpsslysqkuv.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160228_161359_zpstorcbtra.jpg  nice and tightly packed in there, I personally would rather the return to the sponge foam in our blisters just as these have to be shipped around the world to get to me and Australia post is notorious for damaging my mail.  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-02-28%2016.35.59_zpscad7ye3l.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-02-28%2016.35.45_zpsbmit6w9u.jpg  so a shot of the front and back, the detailing on the mechandrite cape part is amazing and any Iron hand worth his salt should get one of these a great piece of resin very much in love with it.  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160228_161546_zpsofaidlgf.jpg  The arms and Shoulder Pauldrons, the opus mrchanicum is highly detailed and such a nice touch having it sunken into the pad.  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160228_161600_zpsilods42a.jpg  The backpack pistol and helm, as much as I love the helm I think this guy needs a bare head I'm thinking space wolf with a bionic eye and a manly beard.  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160228_161610_zps50sa55h2.jpg  last but not least the servo arm and power axe, now looking at how everything is separate I feel I'll be able to do a great conversion with this piece for my little brothers space wolves army, I may make this a centerpiece model so he can run it as an iron priest Techmarine forge lord or whatever in 30k and his 40k army.  So this kit gets a 9/10 only because I hate the pistol would have been a great opportunity to make another weapon for forgeworld from a needle pistol to a nannyte blaster just to have an official model for those weapon options.  (But Kurama techmarines can't take those options!) Fear not nerds I am aware I just like to give a little optimism in hopes someone from forgeworld see this and go hey might as well sculpt that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307114-kurama-reviews-the-horus-heresy-series-and-products/page/8/#findComment-4322006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 To be a complete knob: the tech marine can take the awesome nanyte blaster if he rolls as a Forge Lord Consul :P Â These reviews are good man nice to see what the components look like - especially the mk4 tech marine as I've never given that one much attention compared to the mk3 beast.

Well here we have it the land raider Armoured Proteus, now before we begin I have to say please wash your hands thoroughly I made the mistake of not washing my bitumen stained Hands and had the joy of scrubbing this bad boy clean. Now the kit itself isn't hard to build provided you take your time and not (as I did) build it within 45 minutes.So let us begin;http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_153220_zpsrrkbvxli.jpgfirst up get your resin and clean trim and prep it like normal.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_153847_zpst78rrsvp.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_154009_zpsmjyde4xf.jpgnow thanks to the resin casting gates you will gave a :cuss of a time clearing all the resin out of the tracks, you'll also find minor blow outs in the mould so just try your best to clean it up (I was pretty rough but you can be pedantic if you wish)http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_154853_zpskqhoaoel.jpgnow your hull is ready for fitting note the next few steps are the way the Forgeworld instructions tell you to proceed but in the end I attached them to a track section as they don't smoothly fit around the track casting (you'll understand in a minute)http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155002_zpsyxyjqyrv.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155011_zpspejroyly.jpgFirst I aligned the rear panel to the floor of the land raider.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155113_zpstmnfkkwk.jpgI then attached the front plate lining it up perfectly. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155448_zps2hofi80k.jpgI then attached the roof and found that the roof won't line up perfectly as it won't fit so I decided to try a new approach. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155632_zpsljr8usib.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155639_zpscfnoayh5.jpgattach it all to the track section then gap fill the :cuss out of the bits that don't line up.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155743_zps1n11vhar.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_155756_zpsyhm1x9pc.jpgI then added the other track section and ta-da there's 90% off the model.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_161258_zpsau09iqtt.jpgnext up I added the 2 tension bars to the front.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_161626_zps4ibu0urn.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_161628_zpsxh1tp8e9.jpgFollowed by the engine block.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_161923_zpsl3qybzry.jpgand then added the exhausts and piping.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_161935_zps4jxnz5yb.jpgso by now you should look like this, now here comes the parts that start to cause anger.... The sponsons and tracks.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_162217_zpsicbz0djh.jpgfirst we attach the main Armoured section being careful to lining it up without obstructing the pivoting part of the sponsonhttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_162604_zpsc2von7qf.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_162609_zpswkhyivlr.jpgWe then lock the pivoting Piece in place avoiding any glue contact as this hugs extremely tighthttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_162812_zpsufzfznkh.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_163102_zps9l4dp0gm.jpgWe then add the doors (careful some may not fit and will require trimming) and the lascannons followed by the locking plates above the sponsonshttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_163735_zpskfeo6np8.jpgnow you should look something like this.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_170629_zpszkfltlkc.jpgfinally you add the hull mounted bolter and glue the top plate on and add the tracks..... now I found my tracks hollow and brittle and some linkages to not line up due to the casting gates, now I broke a couple minor details but will be using greenstuff and plastic card tube to fix. I found this last part the most frustrating due to forgeworld inability to cast tracks that don't cause some form of :cuss filled verbal diarrhea to come on.Now a quick comparison shot against the land raider achillies alpha.http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/20160301_172707_zpsgksvachr.jpgso all in all not a hard kit but forgeworld might want to look into casting the tracks to avoid rage issues.

I still have plenty of stuff to come, my workload is ever increasing and I seem to never have any time to build or paint lately so hopefully I get a weekend free coming up and can get some stuff started and finished Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307114-kurama-reviews-the-horus-heresy-series-and-products/page/8/#findComment-4328280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 That box is pretty fancy and the quality control is a good move by FW. I agree about the dozer blades and think they are pretty poo - the older dozers for the 40k rhino FW used to produce were much better. Â This is the one I mean, beasty chuffer but a bit expensive for every tank!

GhostMalone Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm completely in agreement brother and I will be equipping those bad boys for all my deimos Rhino variants except the Vindicator and laser destroyer.  On other news I may be busy for a while I'm sort of taking a break from the forums but I'm not going anywhere, I've got etl to prepare for and im hoping this year I can get a fair bit in. But in saying that my actual motivation to paint is so low so far this year I may just drum up support.  so expect the motivational preparation thread to be started in the next coming weeks. We have a title to take from Chaos and as our forums champion I'll need everyone's support to win this one for our wonderful corner of the B&C  Edit: if we win I'll tattoo the MDRC stamp on me  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-09-26%2014.47.27_zps5qrrwdam.jpg  I've always been a man of my word I did this for ETL IV so let's see what we can do for V Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307114-kurama-reviews-the-horus-heresy-series-and-products/page/8/#findComment-4330629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 This thread is a gem. Well thanks buddy it's an honour that you think so, this is my little contribution to the community here on the B&C and probably the one thing I wish I could put more time into. Â If there's anything extra people would like me to cover let me know. Â P.s. I also noticed I never posted the finished fire raptors so I'll get some new pics taken tomorrow and post my final review of the kit.
