Meatman Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well, it was Christmas yesterday (In case you didn't know), and I received: Shadow captain Korvydae, Raven guard upgrade kit from forgeworld Command squad, 2 assault marine boxes (10 marines total), 2 razorbacks. So far, I've assembled Korvydae, and the command squad with a few bits from the upgrade kit, nothing too extreme, just to add a little flavour. Korvydae http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0041.jpg The command squad (still in process of naming): Company champion http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0042.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0043.jpg Apothecary http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0045.jpg Company standard bearer with powerfist. His job is to keep the squad rallied and hit hard when it counts: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0046.jpg Storm shield wielding veteran, he is a hero of old, diving in the way of more powerful shots to protect his brothers with his powerful storm shield: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0049.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0050.jpg Veteran with chainsword and bolt pistol, choosing the forgo other such weapons as power swords, this veteran prefers the feel of resistance when carving up his foes: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0047.jpg And finally, my combi-flamer armed sternguard/tactical squad sergeant: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0051.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0053.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 On the last dude, the shoulder pad looks a little odd because the purity seals are defying the laws of gravity. Nice models though, the resin stuff is really detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 A little update: Changed the shoulder pad on that last guy thanks to magicman pointing out the gravity defying purity seals http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0055.jpg Think we all agree it looks a bit better And completed is the rhino that the command squad will be rocking in. It has a dozer blade so I'm not too worried if I have to send them over difficult terrain. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0059.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0058.jpg Next step: Undercoating these guys. I'm going to aim to at least paint these guys a bit before moving onto the assault squads/other razorback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 looking good ^_^, two points of criticism though. 1. drill out your bolters! 2. the combi-flamer looks a little odd to me, because the barrels of the flamer attachement connect to the magazine of the bolter.

Meatman Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 looking good ^_^, two points of criticism though. 1. drill out your bolters! 2. the combi-flamer looks a little odd to me, because the barrels of the flamer attachement connect to the magazine of the bolter. Atm I don't have a drill bit small enough. It's on the list of things to get :P I understand where you are coming from with the combi-flamer, how would you suggest I change it to look a little less odd? Not done a conversion on the new Raven Guard bolters before so any tips are appreciated. It is a WIP after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 i'm not quite sure how i would change it, i would maybe try to cut the existing flamer barrels and replace them with green stuff pipes that don't end in the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Callius Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Very cool looking command squad. I always thought Forge World bits are great for making you're models stand out even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Had a quick go at re-doing that combi-flamer. Sorry for the poor pic, must be the kitchen roll in the background http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0061.jpg I'm the first to admit my greenstuff skill could use some work, but that look a bit better then before? Edit: The pic doesn't show it well, but the bottom of the greenstuff pipe does round off into the back of the flamer. I'll try to get a better pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 A slightly better picture I hope http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0063.jpg And I've made a start on the company champion http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0072.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0074.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatman Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 A pic of them all together http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0081.jpg And I've assembled the captain to go with them. He's made of bits from my older models, hence some colour already. Relic blade and storm shield, with some artificer armour and mabe digital weapons if I have the points spare in my games :D http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0075.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0079.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Pretty much finished the chainsword and bolt pistol veteran's face. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0084.jpg Hmm, I think my desk light might be a tad bit powerful... I guess having a decent camera is only half the battle. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 For those still interested: Managed to get a slightly better pic of the last guys face http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0100.jpg And my progress on the champion and apothecary http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0085.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0087.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0091.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0092.jpg And that's me done for tonight :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Finally managed to get a good pic of the guys face. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0107.jpg My room light is really weak, and my desk light is too strong *rolls eyes* I found a way to get a better pic by creating a shadow over his face with my finger, which stopped the glare. Finished is my combi-flamer sergeant, apart from his eyes. I need to get a new yellow colour for them first though... Leaving the command squad's eyes black and helmets white to represent the pale face and black eyes caused by the failing geneseed. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0106.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0104.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1109 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Very nice, theres a lot of visible mould lines there though especially on the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Well, it's been a while, so time for an update. The command squad has become my LPC (hence the rename of thread) and now that exam season is over I can crack on with them. These pics were taken a few days ago. Since then I have completely killed those damn mold lines I missed, but that's about it. I've also finally named them. They are Command squad Kerith. Kerith Ravine is east of the river Jordan, and was where Elijah the prophet sought refuge for a time. While he was there ravens bought him bread, meat and mead. Pics!

Meatman Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Minor update, mainly been focusing on banners. Yes I did buy the forgeworld Decals, and yes, they are awesome. A4 sheet with approx 500 raven guard symbols and dozens of other markings like tactical squad, assault squad shoulder pad decals, plus loads of squad numbers, enough for four whole companies. Well worth the £8.20 IMO. To the squad! Banner Bearer, proudly waving the banner of Command squad Kerith. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0138.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0139.jpg And the meatshield. The word is "Mortis", meaning death. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0141.jpg Thanks for viewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ok guys, time for another update. A bit more substantial this time. Apothecary: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0225.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0226.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0227.jpg Still needs basing Meatshield (ironically, the one who has passed way more armour saves then anyone else): http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0228.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0229.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0230.jpg Not sure about the white aquilla on top. Considering making it a dark grey instead. Thoughts? Champion (so far, he's made both of the invulnerable saves I've had to put on him): http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0231.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0232.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0234.jpg Again, needs basing still Banner bearer: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0236.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0237.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0238.jpg Any ideas on what to do with the back of it? Seems a bit dull. I'm thinking the same red as on the front. Also, needs basing. There's a recurring theme here. Storm Shield dude: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0244.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0245.jpg Still very much WIP. And the rhino. Still doing stuff to it. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x267/mightymwatt/101_0241.jpg Thanks for viewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
