brettfp Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 ++42ND SAVLAR CHEM DOGS++Hey, I've been lurking here for a while, but this is my first postI've been out of the hobby for about 6-7 years now, but I've decided to get back into it with a new army. I decided to go with something with plenty of converting opportunities. I've always like the post apoc bandit feel of the Chem Dogs.This is my first platoon squadhttp://i.imgur.com/C7mQ7pQ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Nheau2v.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/vR4tfzS.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/q8dB87U.jpgI'll hopefully be getting some paint in the mail in the next few days. So i'll post an update with a colour testThoughts?

RedGabe Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Looks great. I like the mix of bits. Poses and conversions are very good! You nailed the chem dog look ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329278-savlar-chem-dogs-wip-leman-russ-finished-mar-13/#findComment-4606617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 COOL . One of my favorite regiments. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329278-savlar-chem-dogs-wip-leman-russ-finished-mar-13/#findComment-4606635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Loving them so far! I'd definitely throw in some of Anvil Industries parts as well; some of the pieces they sell would work well with the aesthetic you're going for. I don't suppose you'll be converting them a suitable tank, will you? Like say, a Ragnarok?

brettfp Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with how they've turned out -Insinfier - Probably not a Ragnarok but i've got some ideas on what to do for tanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329278-savlar-chem-dogs-wip-leman-russ-finished-mar-13/#findComment-4606668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromonoid Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I always wanted to see someone make an army of these! They're probably my favo IG regiment.

OakRiver Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Very nice work. Will you be adding any 'acquired' equipment to the army?

brettfp Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 There will be some small things (like lasguns in a very familar green). But there will definitely be some more outlandish equipment the troops have 'found' ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329278-savlar-chem-dogs-wip-leman-russ-finished-mar-13/#findComment-4607029 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darknation Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Those pieces from victoria minis? Thinking about getting a few parts myself, how is the resin to work with?

brettfp Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks everyone. I've got a whole bunch of conversions figured out for characters, this is just the beginning, I just have to wait until I have the money.  Impressive! What color scheme are you thinking of using? I'm going with really earthy colours, unpainted metal armour with yellow shoulder armour and pale skin.  Those pieces from victoria minis? Thinking about getting a few parts myself, how is the resin to work with? Yep, I've never used resin before and they were fine. a few parts were a little bit waxy but i literally just rinsed them under the tap and they were fine. gluing resin to resin the glue takes longer to dry but nothing major. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329278-savlar-chem-dogs-wip-leman-russ-finished-mar-13/#findComment-4608139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Look great man!! I love Victoria's stuff... have a bunch for my guard... I usually get lil bitty balls of GS, put a dab of super glue on each piece of resin, place GS ball at joint and press together... much faster and stronger join Looking forward to seeing paint Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329278-savlar-chem-dogs-wip-leman-russ-finished-mar-13/#findComment-4608174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettfp Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks guys. I'm still waiting on paint and I got a bit bored today so I made some terrain... A Chem tank for my Chem Dogs http://i.imgur.com/R8mgyR3.jpg I feel like it needs something more... any ideas?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm wondering, "Why the hell would they need a chem tank like that?" and the best explanation I can think of is promethium fuel, in which case, you should add some pumps (look for models of M3 gas stations), so the Chem Dogs can refuel the vehicles they "commandeer."

brettfp Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I was thinking it would just be ludicrous amount of nitro-chem stimulants.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think some transports, heavy support, and fast attack options will be more useful. Even if "fast attack" consists of heavy stubbers bolted to the hood of a "commandeered" Ferrari (see the 'Twisted Metal' video games), it'll still be better than simply pumping an infantryman with combat drugs (which may kill him, and thus, prevent him from fighting in the Emperor's name).

Andromonoid Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The chem dogs need their daily dose of chem to hound about. Great tank!
