Lord_Ikka Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Boo, on the Calibanite blades. Still, I guess I'll model them as blades in case we get some sort of blade-using vets in book 8.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Looked through my old stuff, found a Land Raider and a couple of Predators from a decade ago. Ripped off all the pintle mounts w/gunners (don't want to paint them and I like the simple look better now), added a couple DA bits, and now they're primed and ready to go. Should have a new thread up in a few weeks with my progress. For the Lion! Edit- P.S. Thanks to all who helped and welcomed me, what a great forum!

Charlo Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Awesome! Mayhaps rename this thread, get some pictures up and turn it into a WIP thread? :D If you edit the first post and click the "Use Full Editor" option you can change the name of the thread.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Good point, better than creating another thread. Thanks!

Soldier of Dorn Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Very nice, though the black looks a little flat.

BlueBelly1863 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Welcome to the Heresy train!! Look forward to seeing more pictures of your work, Dark Angels need more love in 30k!

Lord_Ikka Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks all. I've noticed a lack of Dark Angels in here. Probably because we don't have our real rules yet, considering DA are hugely popular in 40k. I don't have a problem with that, given that I'm not actually playing the game. @The Pyscho- Yeah, the black is a little flat, but that is just primer right now. Got some Elshin gray and dawnstone dry to work on shading/highlights, and some Vallejo thick/splash mud, Industrial gray, for weathering and basing.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Threw some mud on the pred, started on my first set of termies. Going to work on my tanks this Monday with some friends, should have more pics then.http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20160906_222051.jpg Edit- Has anyone used the Space Knight legs from Spellcrow? I just ordered 12 to use up some of the excess bits I have (way too many torsos and heads, no legs) and was wondering how they look.

Lord_Ikka Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Cleaned out the last of bit box, and found six old Space Wolf bikers. I ripped off the SW emblems and shoulderpads, so I think I'll use them as Ravenwing new recruits, brother-errants or something. I've got some Ravenwing bits I can throw on them, like the banner pole things and some kit bags. They will be recruits though, so they most likely won't get the full Ravenwing treatment with robes and winged bike fronts. Thoughts? http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20160910_144341.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324580-wip-first-legion-pride-and-honor-during-the-scouring/page/2/#findComment-4497879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 First update in a while, been busy with work/family. Have been slowly getting my stuff primed and adding paint, but nothing worthwhile to show on that front yet. I did manage to cobble together a Moritat though... http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20160928_072608.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20160928_072625.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20160928_072652.jpg Needs a little cleaning up, but I'm happy with how he turned out. Backstory is that he was the only survivor of his company during the Rangdan Xenocides and that after those harsh campaigns he emerged changed. Now he destroys his enemies with burning plasma and precisely placed bolt rounds.

Lord_Ikka Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Haven't had much time to model lately due to mandatory overtime at work, but I finally got some time off and threw together my first veteran squad and a Forge Lord/Praevian. Apologies in advance for the bad pics, I'll ork on getting some better ones after I put together my combi-plasma vets. Bladesworn vets, inspired by Spaced Hulk's wonderful mods. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161106_212942.jpg Favorite member. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161106_212951.jpg Sergeant. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161102_193844.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161102_193829.jpg Forge Lord, still needs some work but Im happy with the overall look. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161106_213022.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161106_214346.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161106_214354.jpg As always, thanks for looking and any comments welcome!

Lord_Ikka Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yup, Spellcrow legs. I like the knightly feel as it goes with the DA. Boltgun is from Kromlech, got it in a random bits order.

Spaced Hulk Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Nice work mate The Spellcrow legs are cool, but they might be a better fit for the new BoP Mark III marines due to their bulkiness. If you're looking for third-party Mark IV legs to use with spare BaC torsos, Anvil Industries Vanguard legs aren't too bad a match http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Exo-Lords/Legs/Vanguard-Legs-Running The Forge Lord is a cool kitbash/conversion Is the hammer from the new Deathwatch kits?

Lord_Ikka Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Got my combi-plasma vets done today, all I have left before painting is one 10-man regular Tactical squad, and to get enough DA pads to finish off both because I suck at freehand and decals. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161107_112254.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161107_112317.jpg @Spaced Hulk- Yeah, the mk3 torsos would be better, but I've been procrastinating on both these vet squads for two months now and just wanted them done. The Forge Lord is using the new DW thunder hammer, with the lower hand cut off and pommel raised up.

BlueBelly1863 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Digging the legs and the dynamic poses! Everyone seems to be moving and acting with purpose, which is great. But DANG that sword on the Sarge is pretty great. Looks kinda Eldar-ish... where is it from?

The ah...weapon in question was liberated from a Slaneeshi Demon-rider of some sort that I had in my bits box. All I had to do was cut off the top of the crosius arcanum and the sergeant now has a short spear-ish weapon .

Lord_Ikka Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Last update for today, and probably a while, as all I have left to do is that single tac squad and I'm racing cold weather to get everything primed. Then I can actually start painting- about 2500 points worth of DA if Battlescribe is to be believed. Quite a good journey back into the world of the Dark Angels. Last two members of the Bladesworn veterans squad. Twinblades http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161107_210236.jpg Counts as heavy flamer http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161107_210736.jpg Thanks for all the comments and support, I love this forum.

Lord_Ikka Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Managed to kit-bash ten more marines last night, so I now have a full tac squad of mk 4 and (as soon as I can micro-bead them) mk 5. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161109_111618.jpg I think I'm pretty much out of stuff to make right now until Xmas, so I'm going to have to get going on the painting part.

Lord_Ikka Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Quick question and an update! I'm actually in the process of painting up my completed models, some of the vets, the termies, and a couple of characters. Right now they are in the nuln oil shading process to get the black armor just right. Hopefully I'll have some pics after Thanksgiving to post. Edit: Got the answer to my question. It was, of course, in the only book I didn't look in. Ugh.

Lord_Ikka Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Got an eBay bits order, was able to kitbash a few things in my limited spare time (doing tons of overtime this month). My new Legion Centurion, Company Master du'Lorne. He'll be my Delegatus until I buy a Knight-Azyros for my Praetor conversion. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/Resized_20161208_101001.jpeg The Primus Medicae http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161208_104747_edit_1481219787742.jpg His Apothecary detachment http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161208_104802.jpg A quick Techmarine http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20161208_104828.jpg After this, I'll be working on another veteran squad, this one made to reflect the Order's hunting of the Great Beasts- Xenosbane, armed with poweraxes and spears. Th painting is also coming along, though slower than I wish due to time constraints.

Lord_Ikka Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Got some WIP updates. Been busy with work, but managed to throw together a Vigilator, Destroyer squad, and my Praetor conversion is slowly coming together. I will be working more on painting my plegde for L&T, but this is what I have so far. Thanks for looking!

Lord_Ikka Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 While getting the base coats down for my L&T, I was able to get some modeling done. My Praetor conversion has pretty much been finalized, just need my magnets to show up so I can get everything finished up. I now have three backpacks for him, an older jump pack, a slightly newer jump pack, and a regular pack. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170226_121724.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170226_121739.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170226_121813.jpg His two regular chosen, and his standard bearer/Herald. I am waiting on the helmets for the chosen (will be similar to the Praetor's but without the crest), while the Herald will be magnetized to switch between a helm and a heroic unhelmeted look for his Herald version. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170226_125732_edit_1488551443334.jpg http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170227_131735_1.jpg Master of Signals. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170226_130906.jpg Legion Champion http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170226_131305_1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324580-wip-first-legion-pride-and-honor-during-the-scouring/page/2/#findComment-4671584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Managed to snag a few Anvil Industries Regiments models for my allied Imperial Militia, and since I had a spare hour I put them together. I can't say enough how much I love these models- the molds were super clean with little to no mold lines or flash, the available options are reasonably priced, and they went together like a dream. Force Commander with powersword and blast pistol http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r621/LordIkka/30k/20170330_195004.jpg He's the only one I'm not really happy with, somehow his head is now tilted back and looks off.
