Nice Leviathan.

 

I went twin grav flux for mine. Lots of Knights and such in my local meta, so 2d3 shots dealing 5 damage apiece is more valuable to me than the siege claw with the Leviathans anemic attacks stat. Really should have more than 3 attacks for what it is.

 

And the extra d3 shots per every 5 models in a unit is nice too.

 

I also opted for making the armor to either side of the main body white as well as the arms.

Yes it's attacks profile is disappointing

Would be nice if the claw also added attacks

 

I got the siege drill for Rule of Cool. I'll probably play it as a claw though. The arms are magnetised so I can mix and match whenever.

I have the dual storm cannons but also got one of the melta lances too.

 

Hrmmm didn't think to do the carapace white too. I'm hoping this way it'll be quicker to paint. Dry brush the recessed details and edge highlight the outside.

Well while everyone was debating if our next CT is good or not I started on this guy

:D

He still sucks to build but I'm sure there will be a second on the horizon <_<

2+ save is pretty nice :tu:

More gaps and progress

Main weapon is interchangeable and so are the heavy bolters in case they release a las talon option.

Just have to decide if I want to magnetise the frag Launcher and icarus missile pod. The storm bolters aren't magnetised but I've only lightly super glued them on so I can pop them off if necessary.

Should finish it today

Took the morning off packing and finished this guy!
Decided to magentise the Icarus / Fragstorm, happy with how it turned out :)

Now have to wait until after the move to unpack the airbrush and get it painted

In other news have moved States and partially unpacked

 

Have been assembling some Repulsors (both versions) for a friend but will be ordering the new Invictor soon :D

I like it. Seems like it would be a lot of fun to shove the Vanguard right up front and into the face of your opponent. I'm by no means a competitive player so I have no idea how this will fare in that venue but I think it would be a lot of fun.

 

I haven't messed with BS too much yet, but mostly because there's no point since I don't have time for games right now. I did buy the new book because I was near the store and I want it in case a game does become possible before our supplement drops. I'm read through some of it but not the strats/litanies/warlord/relic stuff.

The list isn't meant to be on top tables but should at least be able to win as many as it loses I hope! :D

 

I messed around a bit to squeeze in intercessors

Dropped the sniper scouts and one lascannon dev for a heavy bolter and cherub

 

I gave them the stalker bolter so they can effectively replace the sniper scouts with a more powerful and durable option...

Might have to play test

From a theme perspective I did like the triple scout squad Battalion with devs

Almost like the young initiates helping out the vets

Well a little has happened since my last update

I now can say I've built 6 repulsors! 3 of each type although half of them were for a friend who wanted them magnetised. Worked out nicely because it funded half of my next SM purchase which is 2 war suits the new book and cards. (hopefully spaced out before the next wave hits!)

With new Shrike model inbound and wanting to try the list I posted I got out the paint brushes and started on some Carbine Reivers! :D

Although why did u decide to edge highlight Primaris :(

Hopefully I'll have the squad done by the weekend

The local store also had its bday the same weekend I arrived so I also assembled this guy he's pretty awesome :D

gallery_87434_12256_129375.jpg

GDF - yeh... I wish I was content doing that on these too... :(

TWH - that sucks... my new local store is walking distance :lol: :sweat:

Meanwhile:

I tried highlight with Russ Grey vs Dawnstone to try and get a more "clean" pop

(I tried dark reaper but it was too dark and would have needed a double edge highlight and thats not happening! These take about an hr each! :ermm: )

Thoughts?

Nice work! :wub:

that Sgt is hella cool :cool.:  shapeway pad ?!... i'm going to wait till the decals come out in the sprue pack (fingers crossed)

 

Cheers, Mithril

 

++EDIT++ Russ grey is my vote ..

I personally prefer the Russ Grey, as the cool tone just feels more Raven Guard to me. Both look stellar though. I haven't done any edge highlighting like this since my OG Raven Guard over a decade ago, and just looking at your work is giving me PTSD :D
