The Pounder Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 You’re right! It’s amazing how much variety you can have from the same base model! Nice to see the full squad together also.

Heraclite Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 I received the latest drop of combat patrol yesterday, that included the biker chaplain I needed to finish my terminator chaplain. I also built an outrider captain out of the chaplain It also included the free company champion, who also got built The first part of the elder guardians was also included in the delivery, and the sprues got me thinking on how I might be able to build an eldar kill team out of it. I'll wait for the next delivery that includes the 2nd part of the guardians to commit to building them Rusted Boltgun, The Pounder, Tallarn Commander and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-hobby-thread/page/8/#findComment-6171521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Christopher Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Your Last Chancers are absolutely great. Very characterful paintjobs. I've gotta say, these models didn't age well from a 'technical' view but, boy, aren't they great! I think that their vibes are better than the new Kill Team Cadians fighting the Red Terror (whatever the name of the box is). I think that the new minis aimed at being characterful, unique guardsmen (and succeeded) but they're nowhere near these guys. And this comes from someone who's not nostalgic about the Last Chancer minis, too. I think that they're from a time before I've started. Great Space Marine kitbashes, too. I liked how you repurposed the Chaplain and Captain and switched their roles to get unique minis. I think the plasma gun is a particularly nice touch. I'm looking forward to seeing them painted.

Heraclite Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 For my part I've always been a fan of the last chancers since seeing them in my friends codex when I was about 13yo. I never read the books though. My father had found them new in box at the Braderie de Lille one day but it was around a time when I was more about playing video games than painting so didn't get the chance to do them then. Then almost all my minis were lost in my parent's house fire in 2013, but when I found them for about 80€ on ebay last year I couldn't pass on the occasion. The plan was to use them as Deathkorps veterans in kill team, but after looking at the rules for the newly released spectre kill team, they seem to be a good fit too. I cobbled together a vox relay from an old broken terminator teleport homer and the antennae from a cadian vox backpack, I'll try to post some pics this evening when I get home. sitnam and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-hobby-thread/page/8/#findComment-6171884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it seems that they're a special set of minis, with a bit of a personal history behind them. This fact adds even more to the project. I'm also extremely sorry to hear about the fire - that must've been a tremendous blow. The vox relay looks great, too.

Brother Christopher Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Great progress. The group shot looks particularly impressive. The freehands add nice points of focus/interest to the minis; the fleur-de-lys dangling off chains on the Captain are also a nice touch. I think that the blues on the tiniest of details (i.e. beads on the Champion) and power swords also make the minis pop. The most recent mini in the Last Chancers lineup is cool, too. He's a bit freaky :D I don't think I want to know the story behind him, given the wires coming out of his head.

Heraclite Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 I think he's just a 90's take on a futuristic hacker, his official "crime" is bumping his paygrade a few levels up. He might actually be one of the nicest of the last chancers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-hobby-thread/page/8/#findComment-6174261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
