Thanks as always War009!

Finished the Kratos up.

 

[Raziel-TX]

I dig it. Well done!

[War of the Eagle]

Thanks Raziel!

Next project is a converted Invictor Warsuit.

[Majkhel]

Strong mech vibes, well done. I think it gains a lot from the extra height.
The cockpit's windshield is from the Stormraven kit am I right?

It is indeed. It's from the top turret thing. And thanks! The longer legs and cockpit defiantly give it more Mechwarrior vibes.

[Raziel-TX]

The cockpit really helps the aesthetics of the model…hurry up and throw some paint it already!  Haha

[Dosjetka]

That Kratos looks gorgeous, excellent work! Got any more tanks planned for this force?

Your wish is my command lol

Still need to do the base and touch up the weathering.

 

And @Dosjetka I have allot of tanks already but I do have plans for 2x new demos Predators and maybe a Vindicator Laser desroyer.

[Raziel-TX]

Looking good!

[War of the Eagle]

I never know how many in progress or finished pics to take of models as to not feel spamy, but heres the final result.

Got plenty more pics and angles if you want them. Really proud of this price all together.

[War of the Eagle]

Converted up a custom Vindicator Lasor Destroyer.

 

 

 

Has a great ambush tank feel. Tell me what ya think.

[Raziel-TX]

The more tank destroyer love, the better! 

[Razblood]

Thanks s thread is insanity, the best kind though.

 

Amazing work!

[Brother Christopher]

I would like to piggyback on Razblood's comment and add to the many praises of other forum users. I just went through your work (rediscovering some of it) and it's all highly commendable. I also love your style of painting, it looks super-effective.

 

I particularly like the Vindicator Lasor Destroyer, Landpulsor , Kratos or your take on the Venator, Centurions the digital camo effect on the snipers' cloaks (from a post way back!)

 

While aesthetically I'm not a fan of everything you do (some of the conversions are a little too far on the Sci-Fi side of 40k, but don't take that as a critique - people have different tastes), I absolutely respect and appreciate the amount of work, devotion and passion in your models. You should be proud of your unique collection and please, keep up the amazing work.

@Raziel-TX

Thanks as always, and I do love me some TDs. Wish there where more of them in the game instead of just MBTs with tank killing guns.

 

@Razblood

Thanks! Glad your enjoying my work, my conversions are a real labor of love.

 

 @Brother Cristopher

Thank you very much for your kind words. Honestly sometimes I just have to much fun converting rather than trying to keep the look of the force cohesive haha. But I have a blast with every project. 

 

Hope you all keep enjoying future projects aswell. Have 2-3  more things on my work bench, tho my grimy guard project is eating allot of my time.

[War of the Eagle]

Working on my Leviathain Siegenought

 

 

 

Attempted a dynamic action pose of backhanding a brick wall. Only time will tell if I can pull it off.

[Brother Christopher]

Looking great! You can't go wrong from here. How did yo make the brick wall?

Haha it's just chopped up sprue. Tho I do wonder if I broke up some gdubs terrain if it would look better.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

That looks pretty good - one problem with breaking up "official" terrain is it is hard to make it look natural, given that it is difficult to get natural looking lines of cleavage and they are only the outside of the shell where you would need to recreate any internal structure.  With you wall, you seem to have figured out both of that.

[War of the Eagle]

Built a mechanicus freeblade knight to hang out with my Raptors. Was a pretty fun painting project.

 

 

 

 

Special thanks goes to the Nightlords who died in the making of this model.

[space wolf]

Yeah, that knight looks great! I like how you didn't got pure raptor with it. Still has some "nontactical" marking. Well done.

Thanks! I thought about doing a full 50/50 mechanicus side and "raptory" side but it's close enough to that. 

 

Now for my Fire Support Relic Contemptor. Withbenough ammo to keep going and going and going.

 

 

 

[Raziel-TX]

That’s a lot of pew pew. I like it. 

[Firedrake Cordova]

That's an interesting conversion.

 

The weathering is nicely done, too
