Hiro's Raptors Chapter Project

I approve of you replacing the hip-mounted storm bolters with heavy bolters, but the Dreadnought can really do with some close combat weapons. Maybe you can convert some chainswords into bayonets, and mount them on the autocannons?

The Deredeo Dreadnought does not have close combat weapons.  ;-)

Battlete ...  BATTLETECH?!

 

You, sir, have won today.  Maybe for the week.

 

:wub:

[WAR]

wow......that looks like a BAMF

[Hiroitchi]

Been splitting up my time between Kill Team and my Raptors just to break it up a bit. I even started painting terrain.

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job painting and detailing the shipping containers and oil drums.

[duz_]

Those containers look great :tu:

 

Theyre gonna put mine to shame :(

[Hiroitchi]

Yeap did more work and even painted up my Wall of Martyrs terrain set.

 

 

 

 

At least now my Raptors have some Terrain to fight on.

Awesome!

[Hiroitchi]

So here is an update and its been awhile.

Lias Issodon Conversion

Relic Deredeo Dreadnought /w Missile Launchers

Raptors Chapter Vanguard Marines /w Custom Apothecary

Added two Infiltrator conversions to the Vanguard Infiltrator Squad to mae 2x Combat squads with a Helix

Vanguard Captain in Phobos Armor

[duz_]

Conversions look great!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Relic Deredeo is well done. Did you kitbash it from an Ironclad Dreadnought's Ironclad assault launchers (count as missile launchers), a Redemptor Dreadnought torso, Imperial Knights Armiger Helverin arms, and Astra Militarum Sentinel legs?

 

The Vanguard CAPT looks AWESOME. Love the camouflage pattern on his camo-cloak.

[Hiroitchi]

Yes I did kit bashed the Dread from all those parts, well except for the legs. The lower is from a armiger kit. Waste not want not. Oh and I also got the heavy bolters from. Centurion kit.

[Hiroitchi]

So I had some time to paint today... Almost done..

Left to right; Lias Issodon, Phobos Librarian, Primaris Apothecary, and Phobos LT

[Hiroitchi]

Thanks @nineswords

these are a Kitbashed Primaris Attack Bike Conversion

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Using Armiger torsos as attack bike bodies? You demonstrate good imagination on that competently done conversion, but I think the left side needs a counterweight so that autocannon won't make it tip over. If you won't mount a second autocannon, how about a shield generator for an Invulnerable Save, or a missile launcher to deal with flyers and/or enemy heavy armor?

[Hiroitchi]

Here is an update to these bikes. Again thank you @nineswords

Thank you and you do make sound points however, these are just Attack Bikes in its rules set and Although they can have multi Melta, I just want cheap option for a fast Attack filler for my brigade detachment.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The attack bikes are well-painted.

[Hiroitchi]

So here is a closer look...

[UtariOnzo]

As a classic Mecha fan, these give me all kinds of 80s Anime scifi army tingles. Looks like someone took Tetsuo’s bike from Akira and slapped all the guns and armour on it. Nice!

[duz_]

Looks great :tu:

[thewarriorhunter]

hrm... i've got two armigers sitting in a box right now... i do love that conversion.

[Dracos]

I agree, its a fine conversion 

[Hiroitchi]

I'm glad you guys are enjoying my conversions. Its truly helping me to keep going to finish. Thank you guys.
