Ahistorian Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 They look ace! How come one master-crafted boltgun is a sniper rifle but not the other? It increases the chances of WYSIWYG confusion during the game. As for feathers, I would do a base colour, wash, and then very dryly drybrush them until I was happy with the colours. The Sniper Rifle in fluff would be a Sniper Rifle, but in terms of actual game play it is a MC boltgun as a Captain can't use a sniper rifle (at least that is how I understand it) Absolutely, I understand that - what I mean is that if you're going to say that sniper rifles are MC boltguns in play (at least when held by marines rather than scouts), why not have all marines with MC boltguns (in the rules) carry sniper rifles (on the model)? It makes it easier for the other player, and adds to the fluffiness!

I am actually kinda annoyed with sniper rifles. Why by the grace of the god emperor do they not have any AP?

Ahistorian Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I know what you mean, I was shocked when I checked the weapon stats! They should be AP-2 at least!

Tortirioan Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hey All, been a while since I posted, been super busy with life and such *eyeroll* been doing some reading, how likely is it that the alpha legion has actually taken over several "loyalist" chapters over the years and maintains them as sleeper units inside the Imperium? the more I read about them the more it seems likely to me, with all the "slaughtered almost to the last man" stories that happen over the years, i can totally see it. (am also seeing it for the Iron Falcons, I already have the alpha legion attacking them in their past) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342230-iron-falcons-chapter/page/5/#findComment-5158489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortirioan Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hello everyone, have finally managed to do some work on my minis. This time it is my Rhino! I was debating on how I wanted to do this puppy, should I try to find a way to make legs work or something like that? I then found this bad boy trolling around the web: ((Not my picture, it is theirs)) https://www.shapeways.com/product/MEJQPZCW9/hover-rhinoceros-conversion-kit?optionId=64790982&li=marketplace These look awesome so I ordered them right away, slapping hover treads onto the bottom of a Rhino seems just the thing a space marine Tech Marine would do when asked to make a rhino go up a mountain! However, there is a problem. The parts are not shaped quite right... So I took it upon myself to fix the broken I have found and make my new Hover rhino fly off into the sunset! I used a blade saw to cut the angled parts off the main track then file and shape them so they would fit back together. I am pretty happy with how this one side came out, and hopefully with t a little Green stuff I can make it look perfect before painting. I will be doing the other side tomorrow. I still need to order the Damocles Conversion from Force world, I really want that radar dish for the top. It looks very bad ass, and I like the idea that the Raptors always want to have good comms no mater the situation.
