marine7312000 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I never realize quite how big some of the FW models are until I see picks like yours. And the I get super jealous of collections like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 You're too kind Marine 7312000. If you spend a fortune over 25 years on your hobby, you can have a collection like mine!!!!!!! Update time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'm not seeing any pictures Brother Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'm not seeing any pictures Brother Morgan. Apologies but I had problems copying the photos over from another site and then family life prevented me from sorting it out until now.... Update time: I've oil washed all of the models in the previous updates, cleaned up the excess and allowed to dry for a number of days. The tanks have all had a track wash painted onto their tracks and again, allowed to dry for a couple of days. Once it stops raining, I'll give everything a coat of matt varnish before I move onto the sponging weathering effects I normally do. In the meantime, I have joined Bolter and Chainswords Conversion Challenge "Treadheads and Fly boys" and have started work on 2 new Land Raider Variants to be constructed by 2/12/14. I have a Flak Land Raider and a Land Raider Infernus: Flak Land Raider http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/26/658277_sm-WIP%20Flak%20Land%20Raider%20parts.JPG Here's a group shot of most of the parts that will be going onto my Flak Land Raider. I plan on having 2 sets of Stalker weapons on the top, 1 slightly higher than the other and for sponsons, I have 2 sets of Hyperios Missiles and (not in the picture) 2 sets of Razorback Assault Cannons. I'm undecided which to use, so I will magnetise them both! This Land Raider will be the usual shape and not the WW1 look I give some of my other variants. Land Raider Infernus http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/26/658279_sm-WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20parts.JPG This will be based on the Malcador Infernus. I managed to get a Warhound Inferno cannon on ebay and have been planning this for ages. The Treadhead competition has given me the impetus to start this variant. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/26/658281_sm-WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Fuel%20tank.JPG This is the Trailer containing the majority of the fuel. These were left overs of my Spartan conversion (which I still haven't finished!). I think the Tank looks to big, with the trailer being to wide compared to the Land Raider, so I plan on finding something smaller. I have my eye on a Q-Tip container and will pick one up later when I go shopping. I'm really happy with the progress so far. I have a couple of days holiday for the next few days, so I hope to have both constructed by the end of the week. Till next time, Brother Morgan.

Brother Morgan Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've made some progress on my Flak Land Raider: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/27/658757_sm-WIP%20Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Hyperios%20Sponson%201.JPG I spent a couple of hours today completing both sides of the Land Raider. I added a rhino/predator/razorback part to allow all different turrets to be used if needed. I added rivets from tichytraingroup to give a more realistic look. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/27/658758_sm-WIP%20Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Hyperios%20Sponson%202.JPG This is what it looks like in the correct upright position. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/27/658759_sm-WIP%20Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Hyperios%20Sponson%203.JPG I added 3 neodynium magnets to the inside of the rhino/predator/razorback part to allow all different turrets to be fitted. You can see the 2 neodynium magnets I added to the bottom of the FW Whirlwind Hyperios part which will allow the part to rotate and still remain attached to the side of the Land Raider. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/27/658754_sm-WIP%20Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Hyperios%20Sponson%201.JPG Here's a shot of a finished Whirlwind Hyperios mounted on the sponson. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/27/658756_sm-WIP%20Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Chassis%20Construction%202.JPG This shows the start of the chassis construction. Plasticard has been used to allow the body to be slightly widened to allow the Stalker weapons to fit. The inside of the sides have had all the moulded on parts removed and a very thin layer of (white) plasticard was attached. At this stage I do not know where all the front armour and what angle they will be attached at, so blank white plasticard is useful to give a finished smooth armour look. I want to add magnets to the stalker weapon systems so I'll have to give some thought of how to do that. I also am thinking about the direction of the rear stalker weapon systems - Should the radar dish be pointing backwards or like the front stalker weapon systems, pointing forward? What does anybody else think? I've got the sides of the Land Raider Infernus finished as well, but I have put that on hold until I finish the Flak Land Raider. Till next time, Brother Morgan.

Brother Morgan Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Flak Land Raider I managed to finish my Flak Land Raider yesterday ... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/31/659780_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Front.JPG Front To ensure air supremacy, a SM commander can request for a Flak Land Raider to accompany his troops on any mission (taking up 1 Heavy Support slot). From the front, you can see the Twin Stalker Weapons mounted on top and the FW Whirlwind Hyperios sponsons to shoot any enemy threat out of the sky. I added magnets to all of the weapons to allow swopping but also to assist in storage. The front has been left blank to assist with the airbrushed flames that will in the near future be covering it. Milliput has been used sparingly to fill any gaps and smooth out any bumps/holes. Left Side http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/31/659781_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Left%20Side.JPG You can see the different heights of the Stalker weapons in this shot. The front Stalker weapons were fitted lower to ensure enough clearance for the rear Stalker weapons to fire directly horizontal to the front. I also ensure enough clearance for the Hyperios Sponson to be able to swivel a full 360 degrees on magnets as well. Rivets were also added for more realism. Rear http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/31/659782_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Raer.JPG I shortened the width of the engines before sticking a Mechanicus symbol from the Cities of Death kit to show the close ties my "Legion of the Dead" have with their Martian friends. As I could not fit any hatches anywhere else on the model, I added one to the rear to allow crew etc to get into the vehicle. I added some feet holes as well to assist the crew in getting into the vehicle. Right Side http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/31/659783_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Right%20Side.JPG Top http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/31/659784_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Top.JPG I really enjoyed making this model and it came together really quickly as I had everything I needed ready to go to build it. I keep a record of vehicle conversions I want to make in the future and then keep a record of parts I need to get to achieve it. I regularly keep an eye out for bits on different sites and overtime, buy all the parts for the new projects. Eventually, I can then go ahead and build my variants.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/10/31/659785_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Assault%20Canno%20Sponson.JPG ........ and to show another variant, FW Razorback Twin Assault Cannons. Think of the amount of bullets coming out of this vehicle!!! I've washed all the resin parts and am waiting for some nice weather to be able to go outside and undercoat the whole of the model. I'll show some painted shots (hopefully) in the near future. Land Raider Infernus I'm well on the way to finish the structure of this vehicle and will post some pictures later.

Brother Morgan Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Land Raider Infernus Thought I'd show the progress I've made on my Land Raider Infernus I'm building for the Grotsmasha's Treadheads and Flyers conversion challenge: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/2/660189_sm-99%25%20Completed%20WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Front.JPG This shows the Top Front view. The tank commander is currently headless (not a carry over from halloween honest!!!) as I always paint my helmets white and when I undercoat the vehicle in black, it takes lots of coats of white to get the required finish I want. I used bits from the IG Valkyrie, Hellhound and Baneblade on the top and front as well as lots of plasticard to make this look a practical vehicle. I'll add a large milliput skull in the space on the large black plasticard area under the tank commander after I've painted the vehicle. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/2/660190_sm-99%25%20Completed%20WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Top.JPG This top view shows the original GW grey parts and the new converted bits. The antennae has been magnetised to aid in storing. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/2/660185_sm-99%25%20Completed%20WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Right.JPG To show my Legion's loyalty, I added large plasticard Imperial Eagles over both sides. These were fun to make but very time consuming to attach to the vehicle. I've tried to carry the eagle over the sponson armour as well. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/2/660188_sm-99%25%20Completed%20WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Left%20Side.JPG This shows the left side. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/2/660187_sm-99%25%20Completed%20WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Rear.JPG The rear was problematic. There needs to be engines and exhausts to power the vehicle, but I also want a large pipe connecting the large fuel tank trailer to the Infernus as well as another way of attaching the 2 vehicles together. I'll use the 2 converted turret hatches as the connection points for the 2 pipes and the 2 vehicles. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/2/660183_sm-99%25%20Completed%20WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Top%20Front.JPG A final view of the top front. I need to add a small amount of milliput to a few gaps and the Infernus will be finished and ready for undercoat. I'll now move onto the Fuel Tank trailer. I plan on getting the Green Stuff Tentacle/pipe maker as well to use on this vehicle, I just hope that it doesn't take that long to arrive from Spain! Till next time, Brother Morgan.

Brother Morgan Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Almost finished my Land Raider Infernus: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/9/662153_sm-WIP%20Fuel%20Trailer%20Left%20Side.JPG Unlike the Malcador Infernus, I didn't want a wheeled fuel trailer and went for a shortened Land Raider Chassis instead. This was made from the remnants from my Spartan conversion (which I started 2 years ago and still haven't finished!!). The white plasticard was used to hide all the cut marks on the original Land Raider parts. The exhaust isn't stuck on yet as I want to paint yellow and black hazard stripes over the whole white plasticard area and painting around the exhausts would be difficult. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/9/662155_sm-WIP%20Fuel%20Trailer%20Top.JPG This top view shows what I did with the Q-tip container. I added 2 bands of thin plasticard and some spaced rivets to make it realistic. I also added a top viewing hatch to allow access to the promethium fuel in the tank. You can also see the milliput I used to fill the gaps between the top and sides as there were lots of different holes that needed to be smoothed out. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/9/662154_sm-WIP%20Fuel%20Trailer%20Rear.JPG This is the rear. I tried to make some cogs to go around the edge of the tank to emphasise the legions strong links with the Adeptus Mechanicus. A couple of spare parts were added as well to fill some of the plain plasticard chassis. The lights are on the back of this vehicle to prevent anyone driving into the back of it! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/9/662157_sm-WIP%20Fuel%20Trailer%20Front.JPG This is the front. Again, I cut some cogs to go around the edge of the tank. Instead of the Adeptus Mechanisus logo, I added an Imperial Eagle instead. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/9/662156_sm-WIP%20Fuel%20Trailer%20Right%20Side.JPG This shows the right side. To finish the building of this vehicle, I'm waiting for a Greenstuff tube maker coming over from Spain to add a large fuel hose, linking the tank to the Land Raider. I also need to make a way of attaching the towed tank to the Land Raider. I've added a magnet into the recess on the connector. I've undercoated the Flak Land Raider and masked off some flames to go over part of the front of the vehicle. I've managed to spray the flames with an undercoat of white paint but the weather has been terrible recently and I haven't been able to get my airbrush out to spray the usual flame effects. I'm stocking up lots of different projects, painted to differing stages. Once I get painting, I try and get a number of projects to the same stage, so I finish a few at a time, rather than one at a time. Till my next update, Brother Morgan.

Brother Morgan Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Land Raider Infernus Finished my Land Raider Infernus at last. I received my Greenstuff pipe maker from Spain last week and have been playing with it. Here are the results: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/21/665183_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Completed%20Connections.JPG I rolled out a large piece of milliput into a tube and once it had hardened slightly, I used the Greenstuff pipe maker to make a fuel hose. Once it was still flexible enough I bent the hose to fit the tank and the Land Raider. I have added magnets to both ends to aid in storage. The connector between the Land Raider and the fuel trailer was made from a cut down pen and a small ball of milliput to make it look like a tow hitch. Again, this is magnetised. I may add thinner pipes between the 2 vehicles later down the line. Without further ado, final shots before I undercoat and start painting it: Front http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/21/665185_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Completed%20Front.JPG You can see I've added a skull to the front. This is temporarily stuck on with blu tack and will be removed whilst I paint it. Left http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/21/665186_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Completed%20Left.JPG Rear http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/21/665188_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Completed%20Top%20Rear.JPG Right http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/9/662156_sm-WIP%20Fuel%20Trailer%20Right%20Side.JPG Top http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/21/665184_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Completed%20Front%20Right.JPG This was fun to make. I'm waiting for a break in the weather and will get this undercoated asap. I'm making good progress on the Flak tank in that the flames have been painted and varnished and when I get the time, I will black oil wash the vehicle before starting to weather it. Finally, a little taster of my next project..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/21/665192_sm-WIP%20Land%20Raider%20Bombard.JPG ....A Land Raider Bombard!! I've cleaned up all the parts, repairing any mould slippage with milliput. The breech assembly has been completed as has a fully working hoist/crane. I've drilled pins into all of the moving areas of the crane and magnetised the claw parts to allow full articulation. So many projects, I think I need to give up work to have time to get them all done! Till next time, Brother Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Big Update Time!!! I have lots of projects being worked on at the same time - I spent 3 hours yesterday "sponging" silver over all of the models for some weathering! Without further ado...... Flak Land Raider Finished my first vehicle for Grotsmasha's Vehicle Conversion Challenge: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667195_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Front.JPG I airbrushed all the flames as usual for my Legion of the Dead vehicles. Gun Metal was sponged on to add some weathering effects. The barrels of the Stalker weapons had an airbrush of black to imitate soot/carbon deposits. I didn't sponge on any rust as I would normally do as I wanted to finish and move on to other projects ( in order to clean the decks for new Christmas pressies!!) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667196_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Top.JPG This top view shows all the weapons that can be fired into the air to bring down enemy fliers. This vehicle would ensure no enemy would get air supremacy when this is on the table! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667197_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Right%20Side.JPG The Hyperios missiles are magnetised and can rotate easily on the side of the Land Raider. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667198_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Rear.JPG The Adeptus Mechanicus logo was painted as per my normal paint scheme. MIG Blue steel pigment was added to the top of the exhaust stacks and once dry, a quick blast of black from the airbrush to again imitate soot/carbon deposits. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667199_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Left%20Side.JPG And finally, the left side. As the Hyperios sponsons were magnetised, I can swop to any other turret weapons. The other variant I could see on the battlefield would have twin Assault Cannons..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667202_sm-Flak%20Land%20Raider%20Completed%20Right%20Side%20Assault%20Cannon%20Sponson.JPG The amount of bullets this thing can fire into the air is phenomenal! Black was again airbrushed onto the end of the barrels to make them more realistic. My second Grotsmasha Conversion entrant (Land Raider Infernus) has been undercoated black and I have started to mask the flames on the bottom edges. This will be airbrushed in the near future. Alpha Achilles http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667206_sm-Land%20Raider%20Alpha%20Achilles%20WIP%20Front.JPG I love Land Raider Achilles and this variant looks brilliant. I just need to paint the Imperial Eagle gold and then put a black oil wash over the eagle to finish this view. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667211_sm-Land%20Raider%20Alpha%20Achilles%20WIP%20Top.JPG The top view shows the weaponary off. I need to finish the commander's hatch and this view will be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667209_sm-Land%20Raider%20Alpha%20Achilles%20WIP%20Rear.JPG I think these exhausts should be on all of the standard Land Raiders. I tried to paint the exhaust stacks as realistic as possible with pigment and airbrush. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667208_sm-Land%20Raider%20Alpha%20Achilles%20WIP%20Right%20Side.JPG I've finished the Twin Multi Melta's and have almost finished the Twin Plasma Guns. Just the side hatches to be done and this will be finished. Assault Land Raider Version 2 http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667166_sm-Assault%20LR%20WIP%201%20Front.JPG The front has been weathered. I think the tracks really bling out this variant. I just need to paint the large Crux Terminus logo for this view to be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667167_sm-Assault%20LR%20WIP%201%20Front%20Top.JPG This top view again shows only the Crux logo needs painting for this view to be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667168_sm-Assault%20LR%20WIP%201%20Right%20Side.JPG I'm not a 100% sure on the flames on the side, but it's too late to go back now! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667169_sm-Assault%20LR%20WIP%201%20Rear.JPG I'm really happy with how the rear on this one turned out. The usual Adeptus Mechanicus logo needs to be finished along with the Imperial Eagle and that will be another variant finished. Storm Eagle Finished my Storm Eagle! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667189_sm-Storm%20Eagle%20Front.JPG I had great fun making and painting this aircraft. It was a pain to go together and there are a couple of places that are not 100% perfect BUT I'll be the only one that knows where the problems are. Anyway, this bird will look great with my finished Fire Raptor and my second (as yet) unpainted Fire Raptor. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667191_sm-Storm%20Eagle%20Top.JPG The top view shows the mandatory flames wrapping around the front and over the wings. This has taken weeks to finish, but I'm so happy it turned out the way it has! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667193_sm-Storm%20Eagle%20Right%20Front%203%252F4.JPG This front 3/4 shot shows the right side. I added a skull to the side hatch to show everyone which Chapter this aircraft was from. Storm Fang I know that rules say that only Space pups can have them, but when I saw the new kit, I wanted to have one ( I ended up getting another one as well!). http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667213_sm-Stormfang%20WIP%20Front.JPG The front hatch has had the obligatory gun metal sponging to the edges to give a realistic worn effect. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667218_sm-Stormfang%20WIP%20Top%202.JPG You can see the flames wrapping around the front as normal. I need to paint the edges around the Perspex canopy and this view will be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/11/30/667217_sm-Stormfang%20WIP%20Left%20Side.JPG I think this model looks like a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica. I need to magnetise the sponsons and I can then swop between Hurricane Bolters, Twin Heavy Bolters and Twin Multi Melta's. I've also made some progress on my Javelin, Legion Basilisk/Medusa, Deimos Predators, Land Speeder Tempest and Storm and Whirlwind variants but I'll show you those in my next post. Till next time, Brother Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Update time: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672164_sm-Legion%20of%20the%20Dead%20group%20shot.JPG Here's a shot of all of the models I've finished recently..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672155_sm-Storm%20Fang%20Front%20Top.JPG A Storm Fang painted in my Legions paint scheme. I've finished the Heavy Bolters and Hurricane Bolters sponson. The Twin Multi Melta needs a Blue Steel pigment brush and then a blast of black from the airbrush to finish the burnt look. The missiles need to have a few coats of yellow airbrushed and this will be completely finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672143_sm-Deathstorm%20Drop%20Pod.JPG Here's my Deathstorm Drop Pod. I bought the Assault Cannon parts years ago on ebay and painted them up. I tried fitting them on to both a GW and FW version of a drop pod but they didn't fit. I'll put them on to the back burner for now as I have lots of projects I've started and also want to start. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672150_sm-Legion%20Javelin%20Front.JPG My Legion Javelin with Lascannons. I think this version of the Land Speeder looks much better than the normal GW version. I added some Mk III helmets rather than the usual Mk IV variants. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672154_sm-Legion%20Javelin%20Top%20Right.JPG Here's a close up of the crew and their shoulder pads... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672153_sm-Legion%20Javelin%20Lascannon.JPG .. and the power cables for the Lascannon's. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672140_sm-Deimos%20Predator%20Inferno%20with%20Magna%20Melta%20Top.JPG This is the first of my Deimos Predator's. I magnetised the turret weapons, so this is my Magna Melta with Heavy Flamer sponsons.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672141_sm-Deimos%20Predator%20Inferno%20with%20Flamestorm%20Cannon.JPG ....

I need to paint the tracks and this one will be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672147_sm-Assault%20Land%20Raider%20Top%20.JPG This is my second Assault Land Raider. It has had the sponsons magnetised so different weapons can be used. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672148_sm-Assault%20Land%20Raider%20Front.JPG The front ramp shows one of the Crux Terminatus symbols I used. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672149_sm-Assault%20Land%20Raider%20Rear.JPG The rear view. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672146_sm-Achilles%20Alpha%20Top%20Front.JPG My first completed Achilles Alpha. I've decided that going forward I will use Mk III helmets on vehicle crew as I think they look cool! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672145_sm-Achilles%20Alpha%20Front.JPG Looking down the business end of a Thunderfire Cannon! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672159_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Front.JPG Land Raider Infernus WIP. Apart from the crew turret hatch on top, I have finished the base layers. I am waiting for the black oil wash and track wash to dry before I can start the sponged on weathering effects I normally do. Not much more to do and this variant will be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672162_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Right%20Side.JPG This shows the almost finished right side. Sponged on weathering and this view will be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672161_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Rear.JPG The rear fuel tanks will have a small amount of rust sponged on for added realism! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/20/672165_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Trailer%20WIP.JPG And finally, some hazard stripes I've done on the fuel trailer. I now need to mask flames to match those on the bottom of the sides of the Land Raider Infernus and airbrush those on. Lots of things done, but still load to do!!

Brother Morgan Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Awesome stuff, the flames looks great, especially like that land speeder, looks really cool. Javelins look cool Dark Rage, but are really expensive! Update time: Land Raider Infernus: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674513_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Side.JPG I finally finished my Land Raider Infernus conversion. It's based on the Malcador Infernus from FW which is based on the old WW2 "Crocodile". I got a Warhound Titan Heavy Flamer and built the rest of the armour out of plasticard. I didn't think the wheel based fuel trailer fitted in with my Space Marine Legion that is looked on favourably by the Adeptus Mechanicus, so I used the left overs from my LandRaider Spartan and made a tracked fuel tanker. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674514_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Top.JPG This Top view shows how big this vehicle is. I used the fuel tank that came with the titan Heavy Flamer on the back of the Land Raider as a reserve should the fuel in the trailer run dry. I originally planned to sponge on some rust to the fuel tanks, but I chickened out in the end!! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674515_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Front%20Quarter.JPG This is a front three quarter view of the Infernus. You can see the Mk III helmet on the Tank Commander in this shot. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674516_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Front.JPG The front tracks each have an Imperial Eagle on - showing my Legion of the Dead follow the Emperor and not one of the other "false" gods!! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674517_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Trailer.JPG This is the front of the fuel trailer.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674520_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Trailer%20Side.JPG ... and this is the side. I decided to add hazard stripes to the sides. The masking of the flames didn't go 100% and I had to do some corrective paintwork over the seepage. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674519_sm-Land%20Raider%20Infernus%20Trailer%20Rear.JPG This shows the rear of the fuel trailer. It was a fun build and I am glad to put this to bed. This has allowed me to move onto other projects...... Land Raider Bombard http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674523_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20WIP%20Front.JPG I spent a couple of days building different tank tracks for my next couple of vehicles and this Land Raider has my Adeptus Mechanicus versions. Every other track has an Adeptus Mechanicus logo on them. I decided to paint the parts individually and will glue them at the final stage. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674524_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20WIP%20parts.JPG I have again added hazard stripes to the sides of the vehicle to show others that this is heavy ordanance. I have painted some Imperial Eagle wings that will be attached to the hazard stripes and will then attach a large Adeptus Mechanicus logo. The bombard has a moveable breech and the crane has been fully magnetised to allow full movement. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674525_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20WIP%20Interior.JPG This is the interior. I decided to paint it before adding the Bombard as it obscures so much..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674526_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20WIP%20Interior%20after%20Bombard.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674527_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20WIP%20Side.JPG This final shot shows how much the Bombard stands proud. I still need to work out how high I want the Bombard sticking up. I hope to finish this project soon. Deimos Predator http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674504_sm-Deimos%20Predator.JPG This is my second Deimos Predator. This shows magnetised heavy bolter sponsons and a magnetised conversion beamer. I still need to complete my third Deimos Predator with Autocannon and twin lascannon turret and my Whirlwind Scorpius (things to do in 2015!!). http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674506_sm-Deimos%20Predator%20Tracks.JPG This shows the FW etched brass Imperial Eagle I added to every other tank tread. Legion Medusa and Basilisk http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674507_sm-Legion%20Medusa%20%26amp%3B%20Basilisk.JPG I loved building and painting these vehicles, so much so, I have just ordered the Solar Auxilia equivalents as well. You can never have to much artillery!!!! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674508_sm-Legion%20Medusa%20Front.JPG This shows the completed Medusa. I used blue steel pigment and a blast of black from the airbrush to imitate soot/carbon deposits. Small FW etched brass Imperial Eagle were added to every tank tread. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674509_sm-Legion%20Basilisk%20Front.JPG The Basilisk is 99% finished. I just need to add blue steel pigment and airbrush some black onto the exhausts and the heavy bolter at the front to finish the vehicle. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674512_sm-Legion%20Medusa%20%26amp%3B%20Basilisk%20Side.JPG This shows the different flames I did on the different vehicles...... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674510_sm-Legion%20Medusa%20Crew.JPG ..... and the magnetised crew!! And finally, a little Christmas present I had.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/31/674522_sm-WIP%20Thanatar.JPG ... a Thanatar!! I spent a number of hours cleaning up all the parts yesterday. It is fully poseable and I am struggling to find a pose I'm happy with. I want to have it striding with its left leg forward and the left arm housing the heavy bolters raised and guns a-blazing!!!! Moving the ammo feed will be a challenge but something to look forward to for 2015. Hope you all have a fab 2015. Regards, Brother Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I managed to finish a couple of Land Raiders today: Skull Land Raider http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677499_sm-Skull%20Land%20Raider%20Front.JPG I made this back in 2009 and it has spent the past 5 years under my bed until I felt comfortable in painting skulls. I found a recipe I was happy with when painting my Land Raider Shadowsword variant and thought I'd give it a bash! I'm really happy with how this turned out. I got the airbrush out this morning in a gale force wind (I had a new kitchen fitted this year and ever since, I have had to airbrush out side) as I needed to finish off lots of projects so I can put these models away and move onto new projects. I blasted some black onto the Assault Cannon barrels and the exhausts to finish this off. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677500_sm-Skull%20Land%20Raider%20Top%20Front.JPG This shows a slightly higher view of the front. I used the old Warhammer Fantasy crossbones that were used on shields and after some chopping and filing, added them onto every track to add some more icons of death!! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677501_sm-Skull%20Land%20Raider%20Plan.JPG This shows the plan view. I spent hours and hours making the skulls and was glad to finish the construction of this one! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677502_sm-Skull%20Land%20Raider%20Front%20Right.JPG As with all of my Land Raiders, I magnetised the sponsons to allow different weapon payloads. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677504_sm-Skull%20Land%20Raider%20Rear.JPG The usual Adeptus Mechanicus logo was added to the engine. In a change from the usual paint scheme, I went with a bone colour instead of the normal black. Land Raider Shadowsword http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677496_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Front.JPG Again, this variant was built years ago and I have been painting it on and off for the past few months. I finally plucked up the courage to try to paint skulls on this one and I was so pleased with the results, I painted the Skull Land Raider above in a couple of days. This stormshield was made from plasticard, as was the Imperial Eagle. The 3D flames were made from milliput and then airbrushed. The 5 "prongs" at the front were made from lego parts. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677495_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Top%20Front.JPG This shot over the storm shield shows the Imperial Eagle taken from the Cities of Death I made to fit. I used the same track design on this one as I did the Skull Land Raider. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677494_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Plan.JPG This shows the plan view. The Storm Shield has been magnetised to allow it to be stored easier. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677493_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Top%20Right.JPG You can see the skulls on the rear of the Storm Shield on this one. I have decided to stay away from rust at the moment, only weathering my variants with sponged on gun metal. I was finding the rust pigments I was using was making a hell of a mess and not letting me touch the model for a number of days - I dodn't feel comfortable handling the model even after a coat of matt varnish. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677492_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Right%20Side%202.JPG I made this side armour out of plasticard and then used milliput to sculpt an eagle's head. It has been magnetised so I can opt to not have the side armour on should I wish. I haven't decided what sponson to use, so I didn't attach any to the vehicle. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677498_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Top%20Rear.JPG This shows the view from the top rear. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677497_sm-Land%20Raider%20Shadowsword%20Rear.JPG As I had widened the vehicle by adding the Shadowsword parts, I thought I would add an extra engine to cope with the extra weight and size better. I'm glad I painted this vehicle - without it, I would still be unhappy painting lots of skulls and would stick to my usual, pristine skull white. Land Raider Bombard http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677484_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20Front.JPG I finished my Land Raider Bombard. This has taken me only 3 weeks to construct and paint - I usually take years between building and painting!! I am toying with getting a FW Minesweeper to attach to the front - we'll see. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677483_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20Right%20Side.JPG I think the sides on this variant are some of the best I have done - hazard stripes and Imperial Eagle. I was thinking of airbrushing some flames at the bottom, but after it turned out to be a nightmare whilst doing it on the Land Raider Infernus fuel trailer, I decided not to. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677485_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20Plan.JPG The plan view...... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677488_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20Rear.JPG ... and the rear. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677487_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20working%20breech.JPG This shot shows the magnetised breech and the control panels I added. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677489_sm-Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20Land%20Raider%20Bombard%20Magnetised%20Shell%20Loader.JPG This shows a foot hole to assist the SM crew to be able to get to the computer consoles on the left. I also added some control panels to the right as well. I've already moved onto my next few painting projects..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677507_sm-Land%20Raider%20Hellcannon%20WIP.JPG This was made a few years ago and shelved whilst I worked out how to paint skulls. I've airbrushed the flames on the sides, but I now need to mask off the flames to the rear and then airbrush the flames at the front of the Land Raider. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677509_sm-Land%20Raider%20Hellcannon%20Techmarines%20WIP.JPG Here's a WIP shot of the 2 Techmarines that control the hellcannon. Small things needed to finish these guys off. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677508_sm-Land%20Raider%20Manticore.JPG Again, the top set of flames were airbrushed today. I now need to wait to ensure the paint is dry before I then use blu tack to mask the top flames and then airbrush the bottom flames. Lots of time consuming things to do. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/10/677510_sm-Large%20Skull%20Land%20Raider%20WIP.JPG and finally, my first Land Raider variant I made back in 2007. The flames were airbrushed today. I've painted all the gun metal parts and have started to paint the gold parts. Once done, a black oil wash will be used, followed by a black tidy up and then a gun metal sponging to weather it. For 2015, I have made 3 lists: 1) All the different projects I have completed and need to paint. 2) All the parts I have bought and variants I want to construct. 3) All the pieces/models I want to get in 2015. I want to paint as many of my old projects as I can this year. Till next time, Brother Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Update time:- Land Raider Hellcannon http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681818_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Front.JPG I finished my Hellcannon variant over the weekend (a number of years after building it!). This shows the front view with the large Stormshield. This was made from plasticard, with plasticard flames, a few skulls and some pieces of lego. I should sponge some rust onto it as well and use the airbrush to leave some soot around the mouth of the cannon, but it is to cold and wet to do outside at the moment, so it will have to wait. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681811_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Front%20Right%20Quarter.JPG The cannon was made from some cut down plumbing tube and then covered in skulls inside and out. Extra tubing was used to assist with recoil as was some small FW etched Imperial Eagle's. The large skull was sculpted out of milliput and thin plasticard flames were used to "flow" around the skull. I'm not 100% happy with the large skull, but I'll leave it as it is for now. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681812_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Right%20Side%20.JPG A Razorback Heavy Bolter sponson was used as the basis for the side armaments. In hindsight, some rivets around the edges would have made this look more realistic. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681814_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Plan.JPG Shadowsword, Baneblade and Basilisk parts were used on this view. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681815_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Crew.JPG The rear crew compartment needs to have some clear Perspex added to allow the crew some natural light, but also to show off the painted interior as well!! I also added some Baneblade engine grills as doors, to again allow people to see inside. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681816_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Crew%20Compartment.JPG This is what the interior looks like with the rear armour removed. I have deliberately not glued the part to allow easy assess. Some Storm Raven pilots, Rhino Mk1 and Storm Raven computer screens were used here. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681819_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Rear.JPG The rear view. An IG dozer was added at the back to prevent the huge recoil from pushing them to far back after each shot. Another Mk1 Rhino side door was used as a means of getting replacement shells into the cannon. I have a heavily converted sentinel that I made to reload the shells, but that will be a painting project in the future. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681820_sm-Land%20Raider%20HellCannon%20Exhausts.JPG And finally, just to give a small amount of credibility, I added some Dreadnought exhausts to show this vehicle has got some engine in it somewhere! As I try to paint multiple things at the same time, I have finished 3 other Land Raiders as well: 1) FW Reinforced Armour Land Raider: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681831_sm-LandRaider%20Reinforced%20Armour%20Front.JPG This was the very first LR that I bought on ebay for a few pounds and tried to rescue it from a previous novice builder. I used some FW Imperial Eagle hatches, a FW Crux Terminator logo and Reinforced Armour that I had got. The front hatch has shrunk horribly as well as the previous owner not building the front part properly has left a small gap around the entrance. A minor annoyance, but something I can live with. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681830_sm-Land%20Raider%20Reinforced%20arm.JPG I liked the idea of the reinforced armour, but again, the resin parts had mould shrinkage and there were huges gaps between all the resin parts. I used some milliput to fill these holes but 7 years ago, I was not as competent with milliput as I am now. Again, a minor niggle. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681832_sm-Land%20Raider%20Reinforced%20Armour%20Plan.JPG I love the Crux Terminator Logo and have added it to other models since. The gap on the front hatch is more noticeable in this shot. If I hadn't made this variant, I would never have got the creative buzz which allowed me to move onto a lot more variants........ 2) Imperial Eagle Land Raider http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681835_sm-Imperial%20Eagle%20Land%20Raider%20Front.JPG I used some Cities of Death doors on the front of this variant and more COD parts on the front mudguards. I am contemplating using this as a Prometheus as I only need to add the quad Heavy Bolters and this vehicle is good to go. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681833_sm-Imperial%20Eagle%20Land%20Raider%20Plan.JPG This shows the plan view. I used different thickness of plasticard to make the Imperial Eagle and a small amount of milliput to create a bevelled edge around the perimeter. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681836_sm-Imperial%20Eagle%20Land%20Raider%20Right%20Side.JPG Some more plasticard was used to make the Imperial Eagle on the side armour as well. I'm not sure about the plain black armour at the front and will probably in the future add one of the large skulls I have to it. 3) Gothic Land Raider http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681825_sm-Land%20Raider%20Gothic%20Front.JPG I used lots of Cities of Death parts on this variant. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681828_sm-Land%20Raider%20Gothic%20Left%20Side.JPG I'm not happy with the look of the milliput sculpted flames at the front of the side armour, but this was made 7 years ago and again, I think if I made this variant again today, I could have made the flames look a lot better. I do remember enjoying making the Imperial Eagle on the rear by cutting the plasticard with a scalpel. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681826_sm-Land%20Raider%20Gothic%20Plan.JPG I added a Bulldog Battlegear belt buckle skull on the top of this variant to save me from attempting to sculpt one. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681827_sm-Land%20Raider%20Gothic%20Skull.JPG I'm really happy with how this skull turned out :) What's left? I have one more manticore variant left to complete and that will be all my old variants completed. I have airbrushed all of the flames up the side armour and now need to paint the rest of the model. Pictures will follow soon. Once that is done, I have a lot more projects in different stages of completion that I want to get onto. Till then, Brother Morgan. PS Here are also some shots of my completed Landspeeder Storm: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681822_sm-Land%20Speeder%20Storm%20Front.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681823_sm-Landspeeder%20Storm%20Left%20Side.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/25/681824_sm-Landspeeder%20Storm%20Right%20Side.JPG I will make another Landspeeder Storm in the future, but convert the scouts so that they have different poses.

Brother Morgan Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 And almost a year since my last update - I have been busy, just not blogging about it! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768007_sm-Special%20Force%20Land%20Speeder%20Storm%20Front.JPG As promised, here's my second Land Speeder Storm. I wanted to go for more of a Special Forces look to the Scouts and purchased some suitable heads from Mad Robot Miniatures. Unfortunately, they only come in packs of 5 and there are 6 scouts on this vehicle! Another pack is on its way from the USA as I write this. Once received, I'll add a head on the Missile Launcher Scout to completely finish this model. I liked the look of the Night Vision Goggles and tried to go with a Blackhawk Down like hanging from the side of the Land Speeder. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768008_sm-Special%20Force%20Land%20Speeder%20Storm%20Front%20Right.JPG Each of the Scouts were converted to avoid the stock look that every other Land Speeder Storm has. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768009_sm-Special%20Force%20Land%20Speeder%20Storm%20Front%20Left.JPG It was a lot of fun converting all of the scouts to have them hanging on and dangling over the skids. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768010_sm-Special%20Force%20Land%20Speeder%20Storm%20Left.JPG Unlike the first Land Speeder Storm, none of the figures were magnetised as there wasn't any suitable locations to hide the magnets. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768012_sm-%26quot%3B%20Landspeeder%20Storms.JPG Here are the 2 versions together. I enjoyed the converting of the Scouts and will probably go back to make more Special Forces like Scouts in the future. Land Speeder Vengeance http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768013_sm-Land%20Speeder%20Vengeance%20Front.JPG I never liked the DA version of the Vengeance as I felt the Assault Cannon turret at the front looked kind of stupid. After getting all of the bits from various sites, I converted the front with milliput to make it far more stream lined - I added an old under hanging metal Assault Cannon from an older variant of Land Speeder. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768014_sm-Land%20Speeder%20Vengeance%20Front%20Close%20Up.JPG Here's a close up of the different variants of marines I used. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768016_sm-Land%20Speeder%20Vengeance%20Right%20Side.JPG Here's a shot from the right side.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768015_sm-Land%20Speeder%20Vengeance%20Left%20Side.JPG .... left side...... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768018_sm-Land%20Speeder%20Vengeance%20Rear.JPG .. and rear. I have a lot more projects running at the same time and I promise far more frequent updates in the future. Regards, Brother Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Morgan Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Update time. I've been working on numerous projects at the same time: Dreadnought Drop Pod http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768019_sm-WIP%20Dreadnought%20Drop%20Pod.JPG I've blocked the base colours in on my Dreadnought Drop Pod. The power cables need to be done before I move onto the 3 doors. They'll have the usual flames on the outside and hazard stripes on the inside edges. A gun metal sponging for weathering and it'll be finished. Deimos Whirlwind Scorpius http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768039_sm-Deimos%20Whirlwind%20Scorpius%20Turret.JPG This FW design looks so much cooler than the GW version. The turret is finished, just the rest of the model to do!!!! Thunderfire Cannons http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768038_sm-Thunderfire%20Cannons.JPG Here are the 2 different versions almost completed. The FW one on the left needs its mantle painted - not sure to go with flames or hazard stripes? I added some FW etched brass imperial Eagles to the tracks to show how loyal my legion is. Still need to clean up the Techmarine and operators before I can put this one to bed. Spartan Conversion I've got the airbrush flames onto my conversion, I just need to clean up the over spray before I move onto the metallics. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768040_sm-Spartan%20Weapons.JPG Managed to finish my converted sponson weapons though. Leman Russ Incinerator I love this model - who doesn't like a large plasma cannon. I know Space Marines can't have these vehicles BUT I follow the mantra that if it looks cool, I want it! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768037_sm-Leman%20Russ%20Incinerator.JPG Vehicle weapons http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768041_sm-Vehicle%20Weapons.JPG These are finished weapons waiting for the finished vehicles: Sabre Tank Destroyer conversion Solar Auxilia Basilisk Solar Auxilia Medusa Javelin Missile Launchers Deimos Autocannon Over Christmas I decided to mix it up - I tried to do all the little jobs that I normally do after I finished a vehicle (weapons, crew, hatches etc). See some of the things below: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768043_sm-Painted%20vehicle%20bits%201.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768044_sm-Painted%20vehicle%20bits%202.JPG Who can name the most vehicle/model parts in the last 2 photos????

ElectricPaladin Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 You are a brilliant madman. These are incredible. I am not fit to touch the hem of your garment; I will watch and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Morgan Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Update time: Dead Space Marine Terminators http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771691_sm-Dead%20Terminator%20Sergeant.JPG I managed to put the finishing touches to my dead/wounded Terminator Sergeant. I'm not happy with the writing on the chest, but I just wanted to finish this model to move onto other painting projects rather than finding a technical pen in town. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771690_sm-Dead%20Terminator.JPG Wanted to try to pose a just been head shot terminator. I haven't decided what base to use at the moment. I've done grass and snow in the past but will probably try something different eventually on this one. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771692_sm-Dead%20Terminator%20Squad.JPG A finished group shot of the destroyed squad. Legion of the Damned http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771697_sm-Legion%20of%20the%20Damned%201.JPG I based my Legion of the Dead off the original Legion of the Damned I saw back in WD99. I picked up a squad recently and have almost finished them - just need to base them (I've got some resin lava bases and am considering using them). For a bit of variety, I used a FW Nightlord helmet on the trooper on the left and a FW Salamander helmet for the one on the right. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771698_sm-Legion%20of%20the%20Damned%202.JPG Three more completed troopers.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771699_sm-Legion%20of%20the%20Damned%203.JPG ..and the final three. Limited Edition figures http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771696_sm-Ltd%20Ed%20Space%20Marine%20Sergeant.JPG I bought this a few years ago and never plucked up the courage to paint. I came across it a few weeks ago and thought as I was painting lots of flames on other troopers, I may as well have a go. I'm fairly happy with it. I would prefer to use the airbrush to give his eyes a "glow" effect but I haven't got a steady enough hand for such a small area - a paintbrush will have to do!! A base and this figure will be finished. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771701_sm-Legion%20of%20the%20Damned%20Sgt%20Centurius.JPG I picked up a Sgt Centurius on ebay a few years ago and wanted to try something different - I plan on sawing a number of models in half and then sticking them to the side armour of a Land Raider to give a 3D effect. I have lots more projects to complete before I get around to it though, so this will go on the back burner. I enjoyed dabbing some blood on the chainsword! Terminators I picked up some FW Terminators last year and wanted to magnetise them to allow all different weapons to be carried.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771694_sm-WIP%20Justaerin%20Terminators%201.JPG The chests were magnetised to allow different poses. These are completed but I still need to complete all of the chain axes, heavy weapons lightning claws. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771693_sm-WIP%20Justaerin%20Terminators.JPG I need to get some top shoulder guard armour from ebay and bits sites to allow all the different arms to be used. Work in Progress Here are a couple of things I'm working on.... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771704_sm-SM%20Scout%20Bikes%20WIP.JPG Some scout bikes. I'm still deciding if I'm going to add flames on the front fenders or not. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771703_sm-WIP%20SM%20Recon%20Squad.JPG FW Mk4 Recon Squad. These are lovely models but the clean up on the weapons was a nightmare!! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/17/771705_sm-Whats%20on%20my%20painting%20tray%3F.JPG Lots of different small projects that whenever I have a bit of spare paint being used to complete another project, rather than letting it dry and be wasted, I have a lot of little things ready to be completed. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768045_sm-Rhino%20Primaris%20WIP.JPG I had the pleasure of visiting Warhammer World last summer and picked up this Rhino Primaris and ... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/2/768046_sm-Land%20Raider%20Excelsior%20Command%20Tank.JPG ...a Land Raider Excelsior Command Tank. They were lovely kits to build and are on the list of the many vehicles that need to be masked and airbrushed flames over them.

shandwen Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Oh, and you can use a plasma-pred. Rules for it are found in IA2 vol 2 second edition (I think...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
