Lautrec the Embraced Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) I've decided to start this WIP thread to share some projects I am working on. Mayhap it will help to keep me motivated... In the last 2-3 years I amassed some considerable amount of miniatures, mostly second-hand minis that I got a good deal on. Now, I really should start painting them. Yet, I have been slacking recently - the only model I worked on since the end of Call to Arms last year was this quick Spartan Assault Tank I gave to a friend: The transfer sheet from BaC did a number on me and started desintegrating mid-applying. So some markings ended up a bit crooked. Suits the legion I believe... Anyway, I've decided to take a break from my beloved Night Lords (for a while at least, I have some ideas for them still). Recently I procured some absolutely botched Mk6 tacticals and Tartaros, for low, low price of a few $. So, they got conscripted into my fledgeling allied Raven Guard detachment! So far I only got 15 of them painted earlier last year: I went with weathered look - think Isstvan survivors, smth along these lines. I should refine my techniques a bit, let me know if you have any suggestions. But, so far, considering how quickly I've done them, I was quite happy with the results! So, I got to work with the new guys, stripped the many, MANY paint layers, ripped most of the bolters, and tried to give the squad some character. I've tried to put my bits box to good use. Some paint is still there, but I don't expect it to matter under the weathering, rust etc. I hope I'll manage to start painting these soon, though I am still putting together some other squads.

Lautrec the Embraced Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I wanted to add just one more squad before batch painting and it got me thinking about Dark Furies. I have some fond memories of this unit - some 10 yrs ago, I played RG in my first game of Heresy (with everything proxied) and these guys clutched up. The sarge even beat an Emperor's Children champion in a challenge! Obviously I don't have the official models so I have to make do. What I need: - Jump packs of some peculiar pattern. I happen to have some old 40k jump packs. A bit anachronistic but they can pretend to be some cutting-age tech in 30k. - Wings. Well, it's problematic. I don't really get why they have them. But I do have some tiny backpack wings from Reivers for, uhm, manoeuvrability? symbolism? idk - Raven Talons. Luckily, I have enough Claws from Vanguard Vets for the entire squad, I suppose they look rather distinct in 30k. Just had to file some Crux Terminator-like ornaments. Note I have no idea how official Furies use grenades with their ginormous claws. Mine at least still have their fingers free. Besides, I thought regular Mk6 squad will do as they are not that blinged out. I got some RG pads, Sarge gets a laureled helmet and voila - minimalist Dark Furies: Think I'm done with assembly, painting shall commence soon Firedrake Cordova, The Pounder, Tallarn Commander and 5 others 4 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387832-lautrecs-emporium-30k-and-more/#findComment-6167972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinHills Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) They look cool! In the later Heresy Corax and friends were scattered raiding at Horus' rear while he advanced to Terra, if I recall correctly, and he later met the Lion and Russ when they were on their campaign to destroy Traitor homeworlds. These could be prototype jumppacks that would later be proliferated throughout 40k.

The Pounder Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Your tank is fantastic, I’m loving all the added chains and skulls, very gritty.
