The Pabst Blue Purity Seal Brewsade.

Just got my chapter house kit in the mail. Added it on the the Raven last night. Over all, it looks better, but i am not impressed with the quality of the resin. One side was about 2cm thick, the other side about 1/2cm thick. The bottom where the stand hooks up was very flimsy, and I do not feel safe mounting the SR on that part. I keep the stand on the actual GW part of the model for more stability. Still, I need to keep working on it.

 

My rating on the kit:

Coolness 9/10

Assembly 8/10 (kit did not line up exactaly, but this was to be expected)

Quiality of Resin: 6/10 (this was the main down fall. The casts were mainly just thin, and brittle)

Time: 9/10 (Very quick to get this put together, and complete the Raven. You do have to convert the GW wings a little bit to make it work)

Im in 100% agreement with you.  But then again, I read reviews prior to purchase and its what I expected.  Coolness Factor beat out the quality.

 

I thought the new base socket was for weight distribution.  Ill anoint the sacred oils (glue), mutter the Litanies of Mending (swearing) and try the original socket.

 

ADDITIONAL:   Completely revamping my army list.  This is what it will look like at 1850

 

MoS, TermHonors, Power Fist, BP, Ceno x3 (Warlord)
EC w/ AAC
10 Ini/10 Neos, Axe, Flamer. Frags

5 Ini, ML, Plas
Lasback

5 Ini, Las, Plas
Aegis w/ Quad

Termis, CML x2, Tank Hunters

Ven Dread, TLLC, ML

Pred Annihilator, LC

Pred Annihilator, LC

Stormtalon, Skyhammer

 

 

Means I need to buy a new Pred, a Lasback turret for my Rhino, and a Quad.  Played my list at 1850 against my friends IG tourney list and got beat badly.  Going to have another go of it and I think this will be very strong.

Going for a lazerback?! You could almost drop that lazerback and add another troop choice, or Typhoon for better points/use.

 

I personally dont like the razorback because of the high points cost. Plus you cannot shoot out of it.

I guess if you park it behing the ADL it might survive a extra round or two. But you can get a Typhoon with a little less strength then the laz, but a heavy bolter, plus movement of 12".

 

That has a little bit more "reach out and touch someone" ability.

 

OR i would look at doing another laz ML dread. If the points are there.

I have ZERO luck with Typhoons.  Most of my opponents blow them out of the air immediately.  The idea with the Lasback is for a late-game objective grabber.  Hang back for a turn three rush, or use cover and hide behind the Preds midfield and take popshots.  Once on objective the squad will pile out and use the transport for cover.  Its basically going to be a fire platform/cover for objectives/line breaker.  I would most likely run the Dread behind it, or Pod the Dread near its destination.

Typhoons indeed tend to die if anyone even looks at them funny. And of course people look at them funny because they do have good damage potential, so why not kill 'em off since it's so easy sad.png Still, on average they tend to earn back their points for me. At least more so than most of my other units.

Both very good points. I am the oppsite, never have luck with rhinos/razorbacks but my typhoons kill a boat load of enemy (no pun intended).

 

I just wish the points would drop a bit on the lazorback, and we could get more weapon options on them.

I just need an overhaul of my army.  I mainly play my IG buddy and my Black Tide flattens him every time, but everything else seems lackluster.  I usually ran the LRC/ CC Termi as well and I just want more targets on the board.  My new list has a lot of high threat units and Im always going to have a backup plan if any unit is compromised.  Only time and practice will tell!

Nope.  I took it out of my list so Ill just fix it and shelf it.  Thanks to Ebay Ive scored a Las Marine, a Razorback turret, Dread ML arm, and an cheap Aegis.  Watching some cheap Scouts to fill out the shooty squads.  Then Ill need another Pred and Talon and Im going to call my army done and get back to Nids.  But Im thinking this new build will be BRUTAL.

Okay guys I must apologize; my phone has been broken for about a month.  Things have been tight but I sold my side project (03 Cobra, Im too old to be hot rodding) and made a ton of spare cash off it so new phone and ebay goodies!  Among some things Ive got recently:

 

Dread ML

Vindicator

Lasback turret

Las Initiate

Aegis w/ Quad

 

(incoming)

Terminator Captain (metal)

DA Terminator Cape

Relic Contemptor w/ CML

Puppetswar Autocannon shoulders

 

So suffice to say there will be a lot of painting in the near future, and I have a new camera(phone) and its 8mp as well, so expect a lot more product from me, with higher quality pics.  Also the Stormraven is pretty much done, but the thing fell apart AGAIN.  I shelved the stupid thing.

Thanks, Im very happy with how they turned out.  Especially the pillar; I didnt know how to tackle scenery (ie masonry) but I was very happy with the results.  I brought some of those techniques to my Aegis as well.  I play on getting moar pics up tonight.

 

Thank you EBay, I just scored a Horus Heresy Legion Champion.  Prepare for Sigismund (and my EC stand in)!!!

Here is some quick offerings off of my table.  The ruins are currently getting paintjobs.  Ive decided my models are taking a backseat to my terrain for a little while.

A sneak peak for you little Crusaders out there.  Sigismund WIP.  He will be my new EC stand in when hes done.  Started life as a Horus Heresy Legion Champion.  Im going to use the Master of Signal for a custom single Servo Techmarine.

don't feel too bad. I don't get any comments on my thread either. I would like to know where that cape came from, however. looks neat.

 

(I'm pretty sure I don't get any comments because my pics are all super blurry, but whatever)

I just got a new phone and Im pretty happy with the camera on it, but I would really like to get a dedicated camera. 

 

Its a Dark Angels cape, with the heretical wing logos shaved off. 

 

Sprayed the Basilica last night, and pretty much finished up Sigismund, the Marshall, and 5 Initiates Ive been repainting.  Have another 5-6 Initiates soaking in Simple Green.  Just slowly stripping and redoing my entire army with my new techniques and skills.  They look SO much better now; Ill do a side by side at some point to show how far Ive come.

 

In the mail, waiting to arrive:

 

Another GW building (forget the name)

Set of 6 GW barricades

Relic Contemptor w/ Cyclone

Puppetswar Autocannons

Desert  battle mat from Monday Knights

 

 
 
 
My creativity comes in spurts, and Ive been in overdrive this month.  Whole army is getting overhauled, my Armaggedon table is finally coming together.  Ill soon have all four GW buildings, the barricades, a set of two OOP GW small ruins,  wrecked highway, and a couple small hills.  Very excited, very motivated, so stay tuned!
