dice4thedicegod Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Decided to go conversion heavy on my guard force. Using a mix of warlord games miniatures, GW weapons and some 1/48 flyers and 1/35 ground vehicles Here’s what I have so far: An hq commisar Hq psyker Rough riders Valkyrie (hind!) Leman Russ 3 squads of falshirmjaegar And still being built: Macharius Vulcan (out of a Maus and a couple of 1/6 scale terminator2 rotary cannons) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355930-astra-militarum-gotterdamurung-armageddon-regiment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OakRiver Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Great start. For your HQ Commissar, his power fist looks similar to Yarrick's.

Exilyth Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Great kitbashes. I especially like the Hind-Valkyrie. What's the Leman Russ turret made from? btw. - quick question about the thread title: Is it really 'Gotterdamurung' or did you mean 'Götterdämmerung'?

dice4thedicegod Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Ha - yes, it was supposed to be Götterdämmerung (as I was planning on using Armageddon regiment rules and had a few germanish figures) but misspelled it! Oh well, not like it’s the end of the world!

dice4thedicegod Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Wow, it’s taken me a long time to get back to the guard! Finally blitzed my loyal 32 and got 22 of them speed-painted. Not a paint job to be proud of, but I'm proud they are finally painted! 10 more to go! ... and then the rest of the regiment!

Oh well, not like it’s the end of the world! Götterdämmerung is literally the end of the world. Couple great kitbashes you have there. Where is the Commissar's power fist from?

Yep, “end of the world” was my little joke.

Closet Skeleton Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Powerfist looks good. Chimera chassis for counts as Leman Russ might be more confusing than a entirely non-GW vehicle. I severely recommend GW's newer small oval bases on rough riders. Technically Götterdämmerung is the title of an Opera where the world doesn't end and the older Ragnarok myth kills the world off in the prologue before the real action starts/norse mythology nerdery. Armageddon is a hill where a battle is prophesied to occur before or during the second coming which is or isn't the end of the world depending on theological disagreements/a American motion picture where the world doesn't end because blue collar manliness gets in the way.

dice4thedicegod Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Playing around with the Hind / Valkyrie conversion. Added tail wings and more engines. (Think it looks better this way!)

Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Hind conversion does look better than the Valkyrie. How will you explain the holes where the Hind's engines and auxiliary power unit's air intakes are? Shoehorn hunter-killer missiles, lascannons, and/or other weapons into the holes? Use rondels (small shields covering the gap between the breastplate and pauldron, to protect the armpit) to cover the holes, and claim the gunship has an archeotech shield generator that grants it an Invulnerable Save?

Cadius Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 nicely built. But your Commissar in the first post doesn't look like a Commissar, it has the wrong hat.

Quixus Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Looks great so far but I think you mean Götterdämmerung, or Goetterdaemmerung if you do not have umlauts.
