Deus_Ex_Machina Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I wasn´t feeling like painting minis this weekend so I switched to my secondary hobby project which is revitalizing my vintage CSM collection. This meant salvaging an old Predator who has been brutally mistreated by my younger self. So I removed it from the scenery and proceeded to clean it up but ran out of alcohol. This is the stage of the project so far: CSM Predator (WIP):https://ibb.co/album/LSzhbv I started with this project one or two years ago and went back to it when I wasn´t in the mood of painting Iron Hands. This means only a couple of units have been refurbished. This is the state of the current units given a new lease of life: 40K Death Guard Bikers:https://ibb.co/album/hCBpfY 40K Diaz Daemonettes:https://ibb.co/album/TDbCTW 40K Nurglings:https://ibb.co/album/2ZVJPs 40K Chaos Space Marine with Daemon Weapon (Female/Wargames Exclusive):https://ibb.co/album/pjT5sQ 40K CSM Terminators (Rogue Trader era):https://ibb.co/album/60Yb0p 40K CSM Vindicator:https://ibb.co/album/9sTsTv And that´s all for now, folks!

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted October 20 Author Share Posted October 20 Update: I cleaned more parts. Tomorrow assembly will occur.

Firedrake Cordova Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I always liked the look of the old metal/plastic Predators - for some reason, I don't like the current sponson design.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) I would like to comment on your models, but if you can't be bothered to going through the minimal extra work copy/pasting the picture from where you have hosted it to here, I can't be bothered with the minimal effort of clicking on your link. And yes, that is all that would be required of you, as I did exactly that for you in the Call to Arms threads for the other participants' benefit.

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted October 25 Author Share Posted October 25 (edited) Update: Done. The sponsons needed to be removed because they were warped.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Well, you can just choose the pictures you most want seen, post those, and provide the link for those who might be interested in looking at more.

I believe you can have 15 or 20 images per post, with individual images needing to be less than 2mb each. Both desktop and mobole allow bulk uploading to an album.

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 Update: I haven´t had my fill yet of scrubbing and scraping for hours to get rid of 30 year-old Revell paint. So this next project is a continuation of pain and suffering. Another old-school Predator dubbed #2. It is portrayed in the old paint scheme and it´s present form which still needs more hours of cleaning: Pic: https://ibb.co/album/LSzhbv Firedrake Cordova and Operative23 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386954-chaos-space-marines-vintage/#findComment-6138659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Ex_Machina Posted November 2 Author Share Posted November 2 Update: Done. Predator #2 comes with 33 transfers and a second colour visualizing the different companies within the Death Guard as the crew of Pred #2 are more nostalgic because they cling to the old colour scheme of the Legion. And I am still not bored of painting dirty traitors which means tomorrow will see the start on the work of a Chaos Rhino. Oh, and I left out the sponsons of this Predator too to go along with the first one and I also actually like the silhouette of a tank with only a turret. Maybe Axis & Allies is to blame for this. And those sponsons would anyway prove rather ineffective for the table top as this small Death Guard warband will roam the galaxy with a large plague zombie herd as allies which means restricted fields of fire. But now enough with the blathering: Pics: https://ibb.co/album/N9TxzJ Grotsmasha, Firedrake Cordova and Tallarn Commander 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386954-chaos-space-marines-vintage/#findComment-6139922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
