So about a month ago I decided I wanted a Guard Battery

[Arkaniss]

For the Solar Auxillia Basilisk? I had a look but couldn't find a tutorial - mind sending me a link to the right place?

[duz_]

Ahh my bad I have baneblades on my mind! :P

[Lord Blackwood]

The Solar Aux Basilisks are very easy to put together, Your only building the side tracks in plastic, everything else is two big blocks of resin and a few extras for the exhaust and air filter. 

The magnetization is pretty nice too since the top hull is a solid block of resin so you drill a hole at the angle you want the gun and you drill a hole into the back of the gun itself.  The kit is so different from most things and it matches the solar aux Russ tanks I use for my executioners that I had to.  Plus forgeworld gives you a tiny discount if you buy the bundle with three. Medusa's ain't that great right now, but maybe they will be in the future, plus without the gun on it you could probably proxy it as a salamander or an atlas.  Come to think of it, I may get some like tow truck bits and magnetize them to the front of the thing. 

[Arkaniss]

Excellent, cheers for the info! When I can cobble together some funds for a FW order I'll definitely pick some up :D

[WarriorFish]

You're making excellent progress, well done :tu: Hoping to see the Scions done soon :)

[Arkaniss]

That's a lot of Scions! Can we have a close up of a couple of the kit bashed female head models?

 

Baneblade is looking handsome, lining up all that armour when it's painted is going to be an awesome spectacle :D

[TheUbikator]

Your army looks amazing! Great painting on the Russes and Vostroyans! Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more. For the Emperor! ;)

[Lord Blackwood]

Working on getting the scion armor stained green and blocking in silvers, Have about half of them done. 

[WarriorFish]

Great to see so many Scions together, keep up the good work :tu:

[Lord Blackwood]

Olga Ironside  and Lucratia " Lu" Castellano   ( Lulu if you wanna find yourself thrown out of the valkyrie instead of having a chance to jump ) 

Will probably try to carefully raise the skintone of Olga later on  in the projects lifetime 







 

[Nostromo]

Where does that chick with the powerfist come from?

GW?

Looks good so far.

[Lord Blackwood]

I  found her on Ebay by searching Female Commissar 

Its up on Wargame Exclusive.  The package said Grimskull.  

She comes with an ork power claw so if you want a lady Yarrick she can be that.  She also comes with Plasma pistol, bolt pistol, and storm bolter 

The only issue I have in regards to the model is that I feel like shes ever so slightly too small. 

[duz_]

I feel like that powerfist of hers makes up for any concern of smaller size! :lol:

[Lord Blackwood]

[Dracos]

I ever actually get my Warhawks and Knights painted this is exactly where I want to go for a Guard army. Kasrkins with plasma galore and tanks tanks tanks. This is a great army. Love the color scheme and while I don’t like Commisars that petite girl with the powerfist ... oh hell yeah. ;)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Valkyries.

[WarriorFish]

The colour works really well on the larger surface, looking forward to seeing them done :tu:

[Lord Blackwood]

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the models.

[Lord Blackwood]

Taurox Primes are considerably smaller than I thought they would be. 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Taurox Primes are considerably smaller than I thought they would be.

 

Games Workshop still sucks at scaling and proportions.

[sairence]

Confining soldiers in a too small space before battle makes them more eager to get out and fight. Just as planned hurrrhurrr.
