The Yak

Recommended Posts

I can't really offer advice on this Brother as I'm an aesthetically minded hobbyist. I have a 5 man squad armed with 3 PS, 1 PA & 1PF and whole squad with storm shields. Expensive but have proven lethal with a Jump Pack Chaplain. I only play in a small friendly gaming group (fortunately) though so don't know how useful this would be depending on your regular opponents . Check out the Tactica section here on the B&C. I am sure there is a discussion on VV loadout :-)

 

EDIT: I couldn't see anything myself in the Tactica section after a scan. However there is a good discussion on page 4 in the Raven Guard sub forum. Some of the tactics may require RG chapter tactics but it may give you some ideas Brother .

Awesome cheers brothers

Finished my first objective: Raptors 2nd company contempt dreadnought. Well its sorta finished... I need Raptors transfers from forgeworld to show up(Which will make it look a lot better with the white raptor decal to add more color difference to it) and I need to pick a chapter to paint the helmet and shoulder pad on the base. Suggestions?

Havent named this contemptor yet but I have come up with a back story with The Yak's help. Yak's captain Navaro takes a hand in the honor of him being placed into dreadnought armor instead of the other option.... heh. I will have this short story and more when I start my Raptors WiP thread soon.

Also I feel like the green is to dark. I could go back and change it but that would mean painting it all over again pretty much blink.png Going to shade the gun barrel too with a watered down black wash. (the yellow is to bright) Probably add more dark sand weathering powders to the joints and recesses.

I need your opinion everyone on two issues.

 

1.  I have a tyberos model that I am painting, need some ideas for basing.  I am placing an order with secret weapons, so from there would be great. 

 

2.  I have about 40 scouts that will be paint in mantis warrior colors.  I despise the current heads that gw haves.  Which helmet do you guys like

A. The insect helemt9I think its taking the theme to far)  http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=92

or

B. These striker helmets http://puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=190

 

Finally, i will leave on an awesome note

"When the Executioners’ ‘Night-Hag’ ambushed and destroyed the Strike Cruiser Warspite I lost many brothers, too many brothers, but I did not mourn them. If their resolve had been stronger, their reflexes quicker, if they had not allowed surprise to cloud their judgement as their transmission logs showed they would still be with us today. They were weak. And so they were purged.”

"That is not to say, I did not regret their deaths or that I did not seek to avenge them. My name is Tornak Ord, I am a ranked Epistolery and Clan Lachesis', drawer of lots, and it was my honour to lead the Pit Viper Elite during the Badab campaign."

-Epistolery Tornak Ord

"The Pit Vipers are the elite of our clan and upon them falls the Light of the Omnisiah in all his glory. It was we who scoured the Dene Stellar Drift alongside the Charadons Astra, hunting the Executioners and seeing them pay for their crimes and together we reaped a bloody toll on the traitors, repaying them three-fold for the brothers we lost at Grief."

"I do not hate the Executions for what they did. I pity them, for they showed a weakness of spirit unbecoming of an Astartes. First they betrayed their oaths to Terra and sided with secessionist filth. Later, they betrayed the Tyrant in turn. Finally, lacking the resolve to stand and die for their crimes, they had the Salamanders beg for a reprieve on their behalf.

"The Executions lack conviction.

"When I recieved an astro-telepathic summons for aid from their Librarian-King some years later I did not pass it on to the council of three. I did this not out of pettiness or for further vengeance. no. I did it because they were weak, and if they have yet to overcome that weakness, If they are still flawed beings who can not stand for themselves then they do not deserve to stand at all. They are weak and must be purged." -Brother Epistolary Tornak Ord.

Everyone, all excellent stuff and I don't have time to call out everyone appropriately but I have to say:

Uprising: I may have new wallpaper for my Ipad there. Also Striker Helmets.

reaho: Those Exorcists are beautiful.

Brother Tyrax: meet my Razorback biggrin.png

I hope to get started on the Sterngaurd soon who will also be joining the Pit-Viper elite in their alternate, glossy colours. The rest of my troops are painted more traditionally, similarly to the vehicles, but I wanted to do something special for my veteran squads.

I think every few days until I have something to show I'm going to post up another HQ alongside a few units and have them tell their story of the Badab war like Tornak here. Next up the current Iron Thane of Clan Lachesis: Braddon Cain.

I vow to expand the Terminator squad by at least two models by the end of June. I also vow to kitbash and paint Lieutenant Commander Anton Narvaez, commander of Marines Errant (no deadline for this vow).

I managed to complete both parts of my vow. smile.png Hope you like.

Lieutenant Commander Anton Narvaez

Loving your Sons of Medusa! *chuckles* So much awesome stuff here that I'm almost ashamed of my poor efforts. :p

 

Also, Where did you get those Shoulder pads from? If you don't mind my asking, of course.

WOW!!!!!!

 

Ok. Talonatreyu becomes the first participant to get an objective secured badge for his wonderful Contemptor!!! Congratulations trust the Raptors to strike first!

 

Closely followed by ShVagYeR with his old school Marines Errant. Great work!

 

As I can only access the B&C through my rusty MKII mobile phone. I can't update your purity seals on the Badab War Veteran Roll of Honour until Saturday evening. But well done to the both of you and dare I say it......

 

First Blood to the Loyalists!

 

Uprising: I will update the OP with that art as like you said its a much more fitting piece of art! As for your head choice I agree that the 2nd choice would look the best. Everybody hates fat scout heads!

 

Hannibal Adats: lovely stuff and fluff! Can't wait to see your Sternguard

*snip*

 

Dude, I'm loving your Sons, I can't wait to get stuck into mine. Glad to see like mindedness on the turrets! That razorback is looking sweet. I really like the metallic sheen on the Veterans, certainly makes them pop. 

Thanks guys.

 

Reldn: You get one of those shoulder pads in the Vanguard and one in the sternguard set. I bulk ordered mine from ebay bits sellers but it took some scouring to get enough to complete the army. I think the look is worth it.

The terminators, along with a couple of older squads I'll be showing soon, all use 3d printed shoulder pads bought from www.shapeways.com , you can find a number of other chapter's shoulder pads on there including just about all of the badab war chapters which might help anyone else who is interested.

Thanks guys.

Shapeways is good place to look. I ordered Carcharodon termie shoulder pads and Brotherhood of a Thousand shoulder pads from there. The Carcharodon symbol was alittle big for my taste but other then that they are worth it. Also they have lightning claws that look like Tyberos's claws without the chainfist palms.

I do believe I'm going to snag some of those shoulder pads. I was not looking forward to the prospect of doing the SoM spiked skull 20 times freehand. Thanks for the scout, brother! 

Thanks guys.

Awesome, thanks! I'll have to hunt around and pick up some more of those bits and browse through Shapeways.

the problem with the pic above on the whole army is that it takes an hour to set it up like that and then more than an hour to pack it again... :(

some reinforcements still to do for them before i´m done ( quite stupid to ad some more... :P )

Yak: the head is the forge world legion champ head without the plume. And I added an optic sight via the recon head scope. I like that idea actually on the black bonding studs a lot!!!!
