BlueBelly1863 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 This thread hits you right in the nostalgia... reminds me of the old 3rd Ed rulebook that I got when I was just getting into the hobby as a kid. It absolutely does... but wow am I enjoying it! These Ultras look fantastic!

Kalrath Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hey there! Back again! First of all, thank you for your great support! Not really sure where I'm going next, but rest assured I'll Keep this plog alive (even though Photobucket isn't helping...) Anyway, I've managed to finish my last Terminators, thus concluding (at least for now) all my Ultramarine Infantry. Next up will be my First Predator!

Augustus b'Raass Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 They look great and... surprisingly.... modern! You're losing it, dude. That '90s touch. The 2010s are rubbing off on you :p ;) Seriously though: fab work as always. I'm looking forward to the Predator! Also, will you join the August Arena event?

Kalrath Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Thanks! I see you missed the 25mm bases! This army was made mainly using the 2nd, 3rd (minus Land Speeder, that one goes to the Dark Angles) and Assault on Black Reach starter boxed sets. I'm only missing the squad from Battle for Macragge to have a continuous timeline from 1992 to 2008! And all in Glorious Ultramarines Blue! Took a crappy pic of the whole bunch, to mimic the 2nd Ed Codex: This really is a crappy pic... I'll take a new one when I get the chance. As for the Agustus arena, sadly no. July and August are "bad" months with a mix of Extra Work and Vacations.

Augustus b'Raass Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hadn't missed them, although I still wonder why you choose those base sizes :) The picture, although slightly out of focus - is really a testament to your skill and speed. Not many people can pull off painting an army at that quality at that speed. When you make the better quality pic you should definitely share it with GWs. :tu: Vacation and work are both excellent excuses. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313765-old-dogs-new-tricks-space-hulk/page/8/#findComment-4805936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalrath Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thank you! I will be taking that photo properly after the Vehicles. I even have one of those bunkers that came with the White Dwarf, to put in the picture! As for the bases, The Space Hulk models had 25mm bases, so, I stuck with that standard. As for not switching all Terminator bases to 40mm, they wouldn't fit well in the Space Hulk boards. I plan on buying 25mm to 32mm adapters for the Terminators., but haven't come around to it... Here is some WiP of the 1st Predator: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313765-old-dogs-new-tricks-space-hulk/page/8/#findComment-4810919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I like the armored sponsons. Did they come from a Leman Russ battle tank?

Thousand Eyes Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 That work on the predator is really top notch bravo. I know it is said a lot on this thread but your work is so clean, really something to admire as a style. Bravo.

Kalrath Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks Guys! I like the armored sponsons. Did they come from a Leman Russ battle tank? Those Sponsons are indeed from the Leman Russ, I just assembled them upside down. That work on the predator is really top notch bravo. I know it is said a lot on this thread but your work is so clean, really something to admire as a style. Bravo. Always good to hear though! Man, I've said it before but I'll say it again: massive kudos for plasticarding that predator turret. Big thanks to you! Nifty work so far, brother. Thank you! Now lets get to business. Should I weather the dozer blade? The tank itself won't be. I'm a bit torn here. The old models from back then, aren't weathered, but the dozer blades are.

Augustus b'Raass Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yeah that's a toughie. I'd say if you're going for the way GW did things back then, weather the dozers with scratches and damage, but not with powders.

Kalrath Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Ok, I've finished the Predator proper, still need to do some work on the dozer blade.

Canadian_F_H Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I started in 3rd ed, and this is still hitting nostalgia buttons... most of the studio army photos in the brb and codexes where these models, schemes and general vibe and style. Tho I'll be honest, I'm liking stuff in this thread more...

Kalrath Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thanks for the comments guys. Finished the Deimos! Sorry for the crap pics. Switched mobile and it seems the camera from this phone sucks big time. Next will be another Rhino/Razorback.

Focslain Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 So just found this thread and have to say, love the vehicle conversions. Amazing work you have here. I'd love to copy your WW launcher, the missile tube are an old GW square base are they not? Also is it possible to see the back of the launcher or know what you used to make it. Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work.
