Brother Anderson's Perfidious Traitor Guard

[Brother Anderson]

Hello!

 

I've been working on a traitor guard force for a good few years now and I've always wanted to share some of my conversions: I seem to be chronically incapable of building a model totally how it's meant to be built. My collection has a bunch of tanks and infantry that I'll hopefully share more of in the future, but I'll include a picture of my Leman Russ assault gun conversions to show the kind of thing I like to do. These use the front glacis from the baneblade cut down and mated to the SA Leman Russ, with some plasticard work to fill in the casemate design.

 

What I've been working on recently has been a platform for a chaos preacher, as I've gone fairly understated with my infantry and vehicles I wanted something that was more evil looking than most of my other stuff. No idea how I'd run it in game, I think it's on the same base size as Lord Solar Leontus so that would be a laugh if nothing else! Any C&C is most welcome.

 

 

I tend to use my large bases as pallettes for washes and super glue while they're sat in my assembly queue, so you'll have to forgive the mess! It'll all be covered up by basing material soon.

I really like what youve got going on here and the fact that you used the word glacis. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. I think macharius is a good use of the model. Or maybe you can modify it to be some sort of demon artillery cannon

[Brother Anderson]

Thank you! I'm a bit of a tank person so it's good know I'm not being obtuse using the terminology 

 

The tank was built to be as WYSIWYG as possible with the standard Russ, it's not a great angle but there are a couple of heavy bolters in a limited traverse mount to the right of the main gun and the pintle lascannon is meant to represent the hull one on the standard Russ. The second and third images are the conversion that I'm not sure how to run, though I play with mates more or less exclusively so I don't think it'd be too dramatic to run it as something non-obvious.

Love seeing more traitor guard, and love both models. The assault gun is super well done, and I love the preacher. I think Solar Leontus would be a good proxy.

Thats what i meant. Not solar macharius....im old

[Firedrake Cordova]

Ooh, a 40K not-Hetzer  

 

I like the idea of the semi-palanquin (not the right word, but hopefully close enough) for the Lord Solar, too

I thought that was the old resin Destroyer for a second there. Nice conversion.

Thanks for your feedback all, it's very much appreciated! It's not been a good day for spray painting here but I'm hoping to get some paint on the priest/lord solar thing tomorrow

Great start to the log. The tank in particular looks like it came form the factory that way. It'd be a real boon to the few of us hanging out doing traitor guard over in the Realm of Chaos if you could post things there too; we really do need the inspiration sometimes.

Superb models. Someday I'll add a pair of Destroyer Tank Hunters like your to my Renegade Guard. Thank you for the inspiration!

Love the assault gun.

[Brother Anderson]

Thanks again folks!

 

I've just put the finishing touches on the Solar Leontus stand-in, I'm fairly happy with it but I'm thinking that the platform thing might be a bit sparse, what do you guys reckon? I'm toying with the idea of putting some burning torches on, or maybe some more traitor priests with trophies, flags or the like.

 

 

I've also finally got some paint on some traitor sisters of battle that I converted ages ago but have only just got round to painting, more of these may well come in the future as I'm fairly happy with how the conversions turned out. 

 

 

Next up though is some more traitor artillery pieces using the new DKoK cannons, they're a lovely kit and I've just picked up a couple more. As always any comments or suggestions please do let me know, thanks for taking the time to look through the thread :)
