Gentlemen, I cannot begin to describe to you how friggin big the Kharybdis is....

It could hit a knight and squish it

It was kind of a pain to build, needing tons of JB weld and dry fitting, and the pieces do not want to sit flush. You can't just do one piece at a time like the Dreadclaw because the landing struts slide up and down freely, and you won't be able to slide them in unless you do all of the hull pieces at the same time. There are some gaps on the model, but you'd have to spend 6+ hours fixing it and using lots of green stuff. I'm lazy lol, and you rarely notice them, so I left the gaps alone. I still need some touch ups but the Kharybdis is largely done and spoken for.

 

Edit: the model is not as blue as it seems in the top photo. It's the same sea green as the other models.

Oh boy she is a biggun', I just got a Kharybdis of my own. After seeing your photo I went and pulled the parts out to compare to the Dreadclaw I also got....my lord. The. Size. Of. That. Thing. :ohmy.:

 

Fill him up with Reavers and hit some Loyalists hard bro!

The Dreadclaw looks like a bunch of squats use it compared to the Kharybdis...like holy feth.

 

The dang thing has twice the girth of my Spartan, and that's a damn huge transport. I can't wait to run a metric cthonian ton of Reavers out of it, but someday maybe Horus and his boys might travel in it to be on the board T1 :O

lol bladewolf, the thing is massive, I think it has developed its own gravity well on my desk...

"Look at your flank, now back to me, now back at your flank, I'm riding a dreadclaw, surrounding your army with 30 veterans and Justaerin..."

Reposting some photos of the apoc game we had - around 35k a side with 60 HP of SH vehicles a piece :O

 

Nice, I can't deny that its a really nice model and it seems to put the hurt down as well. Get any full scale pictures of the battle?

Right side (infantry battle):

Loyalist push Beer 2, my Fellblade/ Deredeo/Levi hurt that flank with all the infantry pouring in:

My favorite picture, Russ and dog pack launch into Magnus and his space wizards:

  • 2 weeks later...

Here's the start of my new project:

 

++Sardakaar Destroyer Squad++

 

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac316/treacyjohn2/4E7207E9-E682-4B27-990E-5934A0B6260F_zpsdsbhmyly.jpg

 

These guys don't wear wimpy mkIV armor filled with sensitive electronics that fry with exposure to rad and phosphex weaponry. MkIII armor is already replete with void shielding and rad resistant.

 

Despite this unparalleled protection, many of the Sardakaar freely expose their faces to the elements in brash defiance befitting their Cthonic heritage. This tradition is largely presupposed by the idea that many within the destroyer cadre had been demoted due to failure in the Isstvaan system, or inability to kill their chieftain in ritual assassination. They bare their failure without shame or regret, visiting their vindication on unfortunate souls that come into their path.

 

 

-> I plan to give these dudes some spiked pads from master crafted miniatures and a rad missile launcher courtesy of Spinny. Also gold dipped skulls...because why nah?

I want to fight them with my deathsworn  D:   

 

Nah but for real they  look  fantastic thus far and I am sure they will look even better with the rest of the bits 

What are you thinking for a paint job 

Honestly I'm considering just going green with black faceplates and shoulder pads like the Rukal breachers.

 

The unit name is an allusion to Frank Herbert's magnum opus "Dune." I will post a new pic today since I got the new spiked pads in :)

Finished some decals on the old Levi and he now has violent buddies:

Will finish bases and varnish tomorrow...

 

@Pheidas

That game was a lot of fun and I look forward to another one in the near future :)

 

@Taurulf

I appreciate it man! Everyone needs inspiration and I'm just glad there were quite a few phenomenal predecessors before me. Carry the torch! I hope to see your models up, link me to them! I honestly think that the airbrush is the key...so I'll blame my talent on that :P

 

@Bladewolf

Let me know when you can make it to Chicago man! Currently we have all 4 seasons in swing this time of year :D I'd love to face some SW. Hopefully Athrawes and I will be able to organize a Prospero game with me tagging alongside some SWs to do some "loyalist stuff"...

 

@Asvaldir

Thanks! I think so too. I quite enjoy the mkIVs...but they look wimpy for a bunch of genocidial maniac super soldiers. I think this way, the retain some of that Techno-Barbarian flavor. When in doubt, add more spikes and topknots!

the terminators look incredible.

 

by loyalist stuff do you mean slaughter civilians and spire guard D: ?

You forgot to add "abducting defenseless psyker citizens that will totally, and unequivocally, used for nefarious purposes."

 

And yes :devil: I do believe I shall take part in those festivities...

Fin.
