Grazcruzk Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm not very familiar with the storm raven kit, but if it's of any help I've used the kettle helm heads from the fantasy man-at-arms box to represent a light. The helms are a decent size and the heads are easy to get rid of. They even have an 'x' banded over the top that could serve as a grill of sorts.

evildrcheese Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Advice needed. I stripped my 3rd Stormraven over the weekend in prep for re-painting for the ETL, problem is I managed to lose both headlight bits :facepalm:, suggestions of how I can replace them/fill the gap without it looking terrible? I had a glance on ebay for the replacement bits, but the only option was to get basically half a SR shipped over, with most of the cost covering shipping :groan:, so I don't especially want to go down that road... Thoughts? EDC Any good? http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/blood-angels-storm-raven-c-6_636_716.html Nice. Cheers.

Grazcruzk Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'll give you the best example I've got. Not exactly the star of the picture, but the eye you can see on the mount there is the top of one of those kettle helms. Sorry for the giant picture, It's all I've got handy.

Charlo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Kinda forgot just how many random marine models I'd acquired over the past year and a half of getting back into 40k... Going to try and go hard this year brothers!

evildrcheese Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Cool idea, but I think I'll stick with the original bits, since Jolmai has post up a link for them. Nice idea though, might have to utilise it at some point. That conversation is awesome too btw.

evildrcheese Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Going to try and go hard this year brothers! You know what Master Yoda would say to that? ;) Seriously though, do it! Get that backlog cleared so new models can be bought(not that a backlog ever stood anyone buying stuff, but it's nice to have some kind of incentive) EDC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321146-etl-v-brief-blood-angels/page/9/#findComment-4369675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

appiah4 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Would models primed gray and basecoated with only base red be eligible? If so, my vows are kind of set.. Vow 1: (1) Terminator Captain (3rd Edition pewter model) (5) Terminator Squad Alphaeus, Heavy Flamer, Chainfist (Magnetized 5E Black Reach terminators) Vow 2: (5) Honor Guard, Sanguinary Initiate, Company Champion, Chapter Banner, Grav Pistol, Meltagun, Flamer (2nd Ed. pewter models)Vow 3: (10) Tactical Squad, Power Fist, Meltagun, Heavy Flamer (2nd Ed. pewter models)I'll definitely make it through Vow 1.. Possibly 2.. 3 is.. well.. unlikely :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321146-etl-v-brief-blood-angels/page/9/#findComment-4372713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 In other news, I've picked up some more appropriate bases for my bikes and will base them next week.

SM1981 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hypothetically, if I was to build and paint a venerable chaplain dreadnought model, but price it as a death company dreadnought, would that be okay? It will clearly be a blood angel, armed with a frag canon, but it will also quite obviously be the chaplain model. Looking for a ruling on that (Jolemai / Semper)? As to why i'd want to do that, I already have a death company dread, and want a chaplain dread for the collection - even if I can never table it.

If it's modelled pointed appropriately, I see no reason why it should be an issue. Obviously Jolmai/Semper will need to give it the free light, but from what you've said it'll probably be okay.

Well, you cannot really do this as death company dreads cannot take frag cannons. But you could use the chaplain dread with frag cannon as a Furioso, for sure.

I believe BAs can't have a Chaplain Dread anyway and if it is WYSIWYG (frag cannon and all) there is no problem at all. If anything it seems appropriate! :D Go right ahead. Edit: good point about the Furioso. But as they have the same point cost there is really no problem from my end.

Brother_Angelus Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Really hope ETL gets called on the 30th. There isn't much more 'prep' I can do with jeopardizing the legitimacy of my vows.

Thoridon Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 As a similar question, if I prime marines in 2 colours (armour in Red, weapons in Black) would they be eligible? As I prime by hand rather than spray I tend to do it that way. It would still just be primer over the grey plastic.

I fail to see how this is any different than someone who undercoats things on sprues (i.e. the red stuff red and the black stuff black). Given that this is your method of undercoating I can't see it being a problem but feel free to post an image if you want it 100% approved. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
