Oh it's going to be GREAT!

[IceWind]

That is simply beautiful! Both the base and the Dreadnought look amazing 

[Gederas]

Oh man, that Dreadnought is looking SWEET :tu:

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

The hammer is really cool, and the Chaplain is really awesome also nice job so far!

[Majkhel]

Oh yesssssss 

[Marshal Reinhard]

Ok this fellow is going next level

[Cadius]

you're gonna have to do a how to on that tabbard now.

[TechType]

I lack words - these guys are precisely what the BT should be. Excellent work all round, Eberious.

I'd quite like to hear about your approach to the tabard as well - you mentioned an oven, is it really just thin plasticard heated and pulled into shape?

[Eberious]

Thanks very much all, :)  I'm loving these Redemptors as it's giving me so much surface area to work with. I can't wait for it to all come together, it's going to be a joy and pain in behind to paint though. 

 

@Cadius, I'll certainly give one a go. Not sure if a video one or pic and text would be better. 

 

@techType, cheers for the kind comment.  and yes, 1mm plasticard held over the over, heated and then bent. 

 

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility and do not urge anyone for trying it and getting burnt fingers... seriously though it's not overly safe in regards to getting a burn or having the plastic melt and drop quickly onto the hob and everything involved with that happening... ..ahem.   

 

When I do it, it's at the end of a pair of pliers and the very edge of the hob. Ye have been warned. 

[Majkhel]

Possibly using a hair-dryer could be also effective? And possibly more safe even if it would take longer to get the piece heated enough.

[Eberious]

Hmm, wouldn't think that it would have enough heat to melt/heat it enough to make it flexible. Also, yes, it would likely take a while to get it to that state. That being said, I have no hairdryer so it's the unsafe reckless oven hob forge it is, lol 

 

Let me know if you do try it with a H-D though, just out in interest.  

[Eberious]

Working on the macro plasma incinerator, still a wip.

 

It's just my model church.. honest. Nothing to hide here officer.

 

 

 

 

The Gatling cannon at this point is looking a bit small on the dread.. so trying to find something bigger. Only thing so far is the chaos forge fiend auto-cannon? but It's a tad big  :(  

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

That's super cool! Nice sculpting!

[Majkhel]

This projects just gets better and better!

Forgefiend's autocanon is still smaller than Knight Warden's gatling canon. Maybe Leman Russ gatling? Sicaran punisher gatling? Something 3rd party? Or scratch-building.

[Eberious]

Cheers, :)

 

I've had a look at the punisher one online, I have a few cannon LRuss tanks and think that's even a little small. Think I'll go with the chaos FF one(Heresy!) and see what happens.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Love that you go the extra mile for everything

[Eberious]

 It's a dam expensive hobby. I'm getting the most mileage out of it as possible. lol 

 

But, cheers Reinhard.

 

 

 

Ha-ha, I just realised the background paper in the third picture has the highly complex design blueprint for the idea. Yup, that's my design stage. 40 seconds of planning then straight to production.

The church of plasma is both extremely cool and amusing

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The church of plasma is both extremely cool and amusing

I second that. Will you paint it white, like marble? Dark gray, like granite? Gild it?

[Eberious]

Thanks both,

 

Nah, will likely paint it a burnt bronze/copper colour with a touch of Nihilakh oxide here and there. As there is a lot of extra details and bling I'm looking for darker colours for the main parts so that the smaller details won't be lost. That, and I plan to do the plasma glow shining through the mini arches, so a darker colour will help that show up more. 

[STC Logisengine]

This is just brilliant, brilliant I say!

 

Fine conversionwork, nice kitbashing and greenstuffwork and good, solid painting.

 

Really inspiring stuff, has me looking at my own pile of primaris that has been going nowhere for the last two years acctually. ^_^

[Eberious]

Thank you, and aye my Primaris sat un-used  for almost just over a year while I was trying to bash out a diy chapter. Decided to carry on with BT's and they are just flying out.

[Eberious]

A rather large update, as I was in the process of taking pics I might as well get some better painted shots of the other stuff. 

 

I tried to upload a video of it but the sodding thing won't work.. just yet. I'm sure I'll crack it.

 

Pics for now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painted stuff up next
