Yosef Hausakluif Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Always liked your take on a ‘walking tank’ conversion for the Centurions. How did you adjust the arms on that kit to hold your assault cannons?! Blows my mind you freehand ALL those hexagons! Kudos to you for always sticking with it over the years as visually unique and really unifying and powerful. Great to see you at it again!

NightHunters Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thanks bud, honestly, i can not for the life go me remember! I know i used terminator parts and fists in there along with terminator shoulder pads but that's all I'm afraid! Oh and the hitch from the imperial guard vehicle kit. And glad you like the hexes, they are a development from my original Dark Angels army and I waned a specific scheme for a "scout' force that branched out into something a bit bigger over the years! And decided to base coat the second knight, the thunder pigeons the gerard and assorted other bits so lots to get though! Cheers all! FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Bars Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I am very glad to see you back at it. Very much looking forward to what you build/paint next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I don’t know how I’ve missed all of this! This is fantastic and I’m going to spend a few days pouring over it all. The conversions are awesome and non stop. Looking at your earlier work with GS berets, spaced armor on tanks, heck, there was a tank repairing a bike! And the paint jobs are stellar! The geometry on all of it simply harms dropping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Afternoon All! Right, so I have decided that next we will be working on the little diorama I started Titled Nature vs Nurture So getting along, will have to bring the edge plates on the gaunt up a few pegs and undecided on eye colour too, maybe red.... we shall see. The marine is now fully geared up, slung bolter, bolt pistol, empty scabbard etc so will crank him out over the next few days I hope! Unless I get sidetracked building some Terminators.... Iron Bars: Thanks frater! Well the wait is over, let me know what you think! Hushrong: Hey chap, no worries and thanks for looking in, the Rhino/Bike combo is still awaiting full completion, along with the entire diorama all around it! Currently sitting forlornly at the bottom of the display cabinet mocking me! But don't want to start it again until my painting really is back up to scratch! Hopefully more soon, Cheers all!

hushrong Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 The diorama looks great and I’m really digging the colors on the bug! Definitely makes me think ‘reptiles’ and it looks great on the tyranid. And I wouldn’t mind seeing you get distracted working on termies. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Evening all! Right, progress is being made.... some more detail work to do but the Marine is nearly there, and then we can crack on with the Gaunt and the base! Hushrong: Thanks chap, went with a poison arrow frog as a guide and figured i would only ever paint one so why not go wild! And the the Termies, as it looks like classic marines are heading for a Squatting, want to do something a bit special, a last hurrah one might say. Hoping we get some kind of old vs new feud at some stage, like heresy 40K, that would be quite fun.... Any way, cheers all!

hushrong Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Progress is looking good. And yeah, if you are painting one going all out was the right choice with that poison arrow frog colors. And a last hurrah for the terminators sounds intriguing. I honestly wonder if they’ll eventually drop the old marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocanum Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Wow those jump pack guys look awesome! Just got caught up with your updates and everything is looking stellar. Dioramas are always cool to see, definitely looking forward to seeing it completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Evening all! So have spent some time detailing the gaunt but not much to show, have also started added pouches and green stuff to this squad that has now been brought up to strength... Here we have the squad sergeant calling in an airstrike as an addition And here we have a Heavy bolter laying down some suppressing fire keen to get these guys primed up but need to get the detailing sorted. That is all for tonight! Cheers all! FTE Quixus and batu 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 The marines behind cover look great. Just don't try to claim cover in game ;) NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Your Marines are well-posed. "Cover is for the weak," is only something for idiots with ZERO combat training or experience. Quixus and NightHunters 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It’s great to see you back! Lovely work! NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Latest additions look sweet. Love the basing for the marines in cover as each is its own diorama. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Great to see your marines in cover make an appearance again and the addition to their ranks as well. Has inspired me to create a Bolter scout squad in similar circumstances; holding the line until relief in the form of air cover/evac/cavalry arrives! Really like the damage to the cover and ruins you created too. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Evening all! So we are nearly there on Nature vs Nurture Basing almost finished, the gaunt has a bit more pop now along with eyes and teeth, once they are both secured to the base i will finish up the detailing all round Quixus: Thanks fella, and thankfully i don't play, otherwise i totally would Bjorn: Cheers chap, agreed, drop enough fire power on it even an MBT will seek what cover it can! Kierdale: Thanks bud, really enjoying it again, and glad to see you are still around too! Hushrong: Yeah thanks man, that's exactly it, the one good thing about the new larger bases it allows you to go seriously silly on basing, which i at least enjoy! Yosef Hausakluif: Nice, that makes so much sense, held on the extraction point with crucial intel, trying to hold out against the odds, love it! And on the damage, trying to be as random as possible with it is the key, which is far harder than it sounds! Cheers all FTE Grotsmasha, hushrong and batu 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Nature v Nurture is getting better and better with each update. Serious eye candy happening there. And yes, bigger bases have their advantage. I was happy that the old squat marine poses fit on them better than the old 25mm. I always seems to have marines with their feet sticking over. That and being able to decorate the base with a wee bit more is nice. Although I’ve been lazy using those pre fab GW bases.

Vairocanum Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Man those marines in cover are posed so well! Love how unique they all look, the diorama is looking stellar as well! NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Evening all, So, been working on a little something, clearly not on the painting front...... and a few small friends that are coming along nicely So all rather lovely really!

Yosef Hausakluif Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Love all the little places you sneak in more firepower to your conversions! The dual Melta gauntlet. The ‘cover your 6’ storm Bolter. Good stuff. Can’t wait to see it painted up in your signature color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
