[CaptainHelion]

Fantastic news, Tyriks! Glad to hear it, and will be gladder still to see how you've done it

[Arkangilos]

I think I found a solution to my psychic good problem! It's kind of fiddly but pieces are drying now so I should be able to post pics tomorrow. I'll be excited to finally finish these!

Yeah, I look forward to seeing what you've done!

For flame effects, rather than cotton wool I recommend clump foliage superglued in progressive layers to a paperclip.

I did this for a flamer-wielding jump packer here:

Sadly i have to abandon the idea of sculpting legs on my sanguinor. After 3 sets that failed to meet my expectations i have to do something else

[Xenith]

The Sang-wheel-nor?

[Lirksus]

I don't like Blood Angels bikes, It is not the Blood Angels way. I don't like the bike model for Spacemarines, its old and not very pleasant to look at. And then it happend a few months ago I played a friend who build Iron Hands - Chaptermaster/Bike/etc... And he made it look really good. So I decided I'm gonna make one bike, and its gonna be a freaking awesome piece. Took a little while to find the parts for it.. The hammer alone was pretty expensive ;)

Bits:

Stormshield from BA Assault Termies
Thunderhammer = Ghal Maraz from Celestial Prime, the Warhammer of Warhammer.
Powerfist from the BA Tacticals.
Helm and backpack from FW
Shoulders from the Blood Angels Uppgrade kit.
Legs from the Ravenwing Sergeant.
Bike is a Dark Anges ravenwing including the angles on the back.
Behind the angel statues is a Homing Beacon from the regular terminator kit.
Bolter on the front wheel is from a rhino.
Wings from Sang Guard.
Blades on the front wheel from Skaven.

[Panzer]

....and suddenly I know what to do for my Emperor's Children bikes. :D

[Chaplain Gunzhard]

Wow - I was just about to post some progress for my SP on a bike... now it's going straight into the trash.

[Lirksus]

Cheers fellas!
I'll post soon again when Im done with the base...

Good evening!

[Kierdale]

Now that is a stylish set of wheels :tu:

[Tyriks]

I might not go with this. I don't think I like it after all. It might just have to do for now, though.

The piece is a neck-thing? From the AdMech electropriest kit. It is for the shooty option. Maybe if it was lower in the back, like at the base of the neck... I don't know, what do others think?

[Kinstryfe]

Tyriks, how would that look as an actual collar? It may look neat as that or even placed on the backpack. It does look a lil odd in the current position.

[Tyriks]

Having it as an actual collar had two problems, in my eyes - one is that you don't really see it, but more importantly, it wouldn't fit with the jump pack/backpack.  I was hoping to have it more visible and up over the backpack, so it might look better on the model with all that in context...

[Arkangilos]

What about up kind of like an Iron Halo? Like a centurions crest?

[Xenith]

What about up kind of like an Iron Halo? Like a centurions crest?

I think it would look cool in the same place as an iron Halo, so on his backpack - some cables going into his shoulders IE head would rock!

[gav1892]

This sounds like a cool idea, its beena while since ive been on and since i have changed the whole idea of my BA force i think i might need to get involved

[Jolemai]

Just a query before I embarrass myself and my chapter if that's OK?

I'm putting together a force of metal minis but using parts from assault sprues, sanguinary guard, death company and tactical squad bits. I'm using classic metal chapter shoulder pads and 2 types of classic metal jump packs.

However, and this is if I read the rules correctly, I couldn't vow on these as I'm using legs, torso and head of the metal mini.....or am I wrong?

Cheers

First off, this sounds awesome (I'm a fan of the older miniatures) and I'd love to see this army one day

With regards to the event, there is nothing stopping you entering provided they shown something which aligns them with our Faction. However, using a torso and legs from an existing model (as outlined in your quote) would mean the entry is a out of competition one (so it would only net you the participation banner).

Sadly i have to abandon the idea of sculpting legs on my sanguinor. After 3 sets that failed to meet my expectations i have to do something else

Any pictures? Also, what have you got in mind as a replacement? Loads of time so don't sweat it :)

How would it look with a bare head? I'm thinking either a grey knight TDA head or even a bald one?

More than welcome to join in, just read the rules, vow and you'll be good to go :tu:

I agree, very awesome. But it does look a bit weird for him to be shouting while standing still. :D

A drilled barrel would make him pretty much perfect in my eyes tho. ;)

First mounted Captain entry, welcome aboard! Do you already have a Captain for the 4th and if so, will he appear the same (bar his mount and weapons) or will he appear more battle-worn/older/younger?

[Jolemai]

Here's some WIPs.

 

First order of business. Do we need a name change, I like Adrian but I wouldn't hate changing it.

 

Secondly: I can't decide what I want to do for the right shoulder pad. This Carmine Blade's shoulder will be switched for a fancy one when they come in. I'm just testing the waters.

 

Right then! I've shaved down the fancy Tactical BA pistol holster; this is all pre fitting etc. the last shows where the pistol will be positioned. My philosophy on kitbashes are always keep it simple, and make it somehow show the aggression of how I view my successor Chapter.

 

Thoughts and C&C welcome. It's very simple in his design, but I really feel his unleashing fury. It isn't as amazing as some of you lot, but I am open to suggestions.

 

Side notes; I couldn't get the Black shield's cape to work properly, part of me wants the left shoulder to be one of the fancy BA shoulders from the upgrade kit to represent pre-heresy armor that was handed down to this chapter master from Dante, as they were revealed to be of Sanguinius line. Ideas on that as well. I hope you guys enjoy him.

First mounted Captain entry, welcome aboard! Do you already have a Captain for the 4th and if so, will he appear the same (bar his mount and weapons) or will he appear more battle-worn/older/younger?

Good questions! Initially he was going to be a different version of Castigon, my captain of the 4th, however having multiple of the same character doesn't help with collecting, so now he will be captain of the sixth, the bike mounted company. Naturally he needs attendants...
