Muctar Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Moving on to the armoury: With one Thunderfire Cannon in my collection, and going to an Apocalypse Battle, I added two more TFCs! Take note of the Techmarine's Conversion Beamer. I didn't have one in my collection, so why not? And the other TFC... At this point I decided to go whole hog and add in a proper Master of the Forge! Thunderfire Defense Battery. Yum. Complete with some lackeys servitors to do some heavy lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muctar Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Makes logical sense to move on to the machines the lords of the armoury tend to: Vindicator #3, which is my command tank for the squadron. Venerable Car'den Since I play 4th Company it was a good idea to add to the fleet, to insure air superiority. Stormraven for some non-forgeworld air-support/assault. With magnetization for weapon swapping! Stormtalon as a wingman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muctar Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 I also needed some more orbital support in my collection. Therefore 3 new drop pods for my dreadnoughts were commissioned. Pod #4 Pod #5 Pod #6 Note the etched brass. This is Bray'arth's personal ride. Now to finish up I added to the Librarius, with a TDA Librarian. I plan to add a scaled cloak to him in the future as his storm shield. Just need to get my hands on one. If you don't recognize the model it's an OOP Terminator Techmarine from 1988! So cool. And as an aside to my Salamanders, and strictly for Apocalypse games, a shadowy Vindicare Assassin. I intend to eventually get both sculpts of this model, and hopefully an Eversor too. That's the lot! Hopefully you enjoyed the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christhenoun Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Wow! I like the way you so casually say "I needed this, so I bought this...."Â I really like the green, Salamanders have always been a striking force on the table... Kind of reminded me of Lego though... Not sure why. Â My only criticism would be the MotF's axe... Is it supposed to look like its on fire? If so, is there anyway you could try and blend some of those colours? They look very stark and blocky.. Â Great job though! Any chance of some whole army shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much of "I need this, so i buy it" but more of "I planned ahead and got what I wanted cheap." For example, I bought the Stormtalon many months ago, but never even got it out of the box until about April. Foresight is a huge help when collecting . As for the MotF's axe, yes it is supposed to look molten/flaming/hot. From up very close, like the pics, it may look a bit stark but from say a foot away it looks great. I may eventually go back over such things and make improvements, but as it is now I really need to push forward with new projects. I'm a huge perfectionist who really needs to move from project to project, otherwise I'd still be on my first Assault on Black Reach box! Seriously... If you check out Miniwargaming's site there will almost certainly be a video out soon that will have some good closeups of my army. Although I do hope to get some good pics of it all on a nice game board. I'll have to ask my photography friend. The green is striking like it. Thanks. It has evolved a lot over time but now I can get a good colour very quickly, which is fantastic. Really neat paint job and the Iron Clad dread is so striking with its molten power claw its epic Glad you like it. I try to have all power weapons in the army to have the molten look since it really unifies the look of the army. Plus it tends to draw a lot of attention to the combat units, which spares my tactical squads who win me games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muctar Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Awesome job Muctar. So what are,your thoughts on the salamanders for 6th codex? Thanks Piper. Salamanders in the new 6th ed codex? I'm reserving full judgement until I have it in my hands, but so far things look encouraging. It may open up some more options, like including more Techmarines in my armies for example.
