Kierdale Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I haven't started a HoH thread for my army until now as I rarely feel anything is finished. There's always something I could come back and redo or do better. But with that way of thinking nothing ever gets done. So, I present the units from my army which are complete for the moment. Scout Squad Kemnebi Their current (6th Ed.) incarnation, with bolt guns. Kemnebi himself has a combi-melta and meltabombs. The squad rides around in landspeeder storm Uraeus. Their former (5th Ed.) incarnation: bolt pistols and combat blades. Scout Squad Wepwawet Bolt guns across the squad, heavy bolter for support. Wepwawet himself has a combi-flamer for flushing out the enemy from cover or countering charges. Will be gaining a sniper scout in the future for flavour. Devastator Squad Resheph A simple, reliable 4 missile launchers-build. Hope to expand the squad to 10 marines in the future. Sternguard Veteran Squad Menthu Combi-meltas across the squad. Hope to expand the squad to 10, adding combi-flamers and a drop pod in the future. Won Bronze (40k Squad) at Japan's first Golden Demon awards on August 8th 2012. Chaplain Corvidae Adept Exemptus Khaldun Crozius replaced with an Egyptian flail (nekhakha). He and the following Vanguard veteran squad generally only get used in Apoc games due to cost. Very fun to use though. Vanguard Veteran Squad Minkabh Nine members in total. My favourites are shown. All have custom Horus-pattern jump packs (not actually designed as LOS-blockers!), storm shields. Sergeant Minkabh has a relic blade, one veteran has a thunder hammer, all others have power weapons. Built for looks and fun. To add in the future: Landspeeder storm Uraeus Tactical squad Nehebkau Command squad Hathor Librarian Har-Khebu Captain Ramtut Master of the Forge Shezmu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hwarang Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think our models look great. You've got a very nice Thousand Sons PH red going on, and the gold on the shoulder pads looks nice as well. I like the posing and especially the weapons. The lone bolter guy in the devastator squad, though, seems to be posed awkwardly. The other 5 models are very static, as befits devastators, but he looks like he's charging gung-ho into the enemy lines. Perhaps you can swap him out with a guy fom your tac squad? Also, I love the idea of your jump packs, but I think they need some more stuff on them. Worky bits and gubbinz, like gears, rivents, panels, something to break up the flatness of the shape. Regardless, great work, looking forward to seeing more. -CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thank you very much, Captain, your comments are appreciated. I hope that expanding the Devastator squad to ten men will help the running guy blend in a bit more (mk.II armour only having two leg poses, I'll convert the next four marines more). That or I add a load of missiles to his thighs and backpack and make him the ammo-gopher ;) Yes, the vanguard do need more work on their jump packs. They do have some cabling on the back, but I agree they do need more detail. Something for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatGrinder Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I love everything you've posted except the jump packs. Compared to the high painting standard of the rest of the army they just dont stand up. What I'd do, is take the jump packs from the Sanguinary guard, those single-jet packs, and either keep the wings that come with them, or try building new ones out of plasticard.

Kierdale Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, MeatGrinder. Yes, the Sang' guard jump pack (or perhaps the Raptor one?) would be a good base. I'd like to keep the wing shape, but remake them with plasticard and put more detail on, paneling, pipes, etc. I made them over the last winter holiday, perhaps this winter will be a good opportunity to remake them. Currently working on my first dreadnought, Akhenaten the Gifted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Akhenaten is complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I just love the hieroglyphs and the other details to the Dread :lol: Also love the wall graffiti :P I'll have to start learning to use GS for all the things I want to do, but I'm still having trouble getting the right "mix" between the blue and yellow parts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks Aquilanus! Scout sergeant Telion Maahes of the Corvidae cult is complete! Hiding at the window of a ruined building, about to step to the sill and pop off a couple of shots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Techmarine Septu and his thunderfire cannon are complete! That second shot shows the golden cartouche on the cannon-housing's right side, containing the hieroglyphs for his name. Right-side shot with controller-screen. Left-side shot with Athanaean cult icon. And some more shots of the cannon itself. With that last one I only realised that the inside of the barrels weren't black after uploading the photo. They're now black. Next up (though not for a while) is probably a squad of five snipers for sergeant Telion Maahes to command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Being an old school 40k player, I love the graffiti a la rogue trader days and the original book. Great looking army with a consistent theme all around. I especially love the head piece on your telion, delicate and detailed work there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
