Sorry for the late responce been really busy so hardly had time to think let alone hobby, but right now there is a small break so time to update the thread a bit.

 

 

Great looking army shot there! I don't ever really intend on playing the game again. I'd see the going rate. Bet you could get 30-45$ for a good sculpt.

 

 

thanks never really sure of how to best set up a army to show it off but this seemed to have worked okay, and it be great if i could get that much for them but will have to wait and see, its been a while since anyone even asked me if i could part with any of them.

 

 

 

Congratulations on that well-deserved prize, buddy! It's the main reason for going to tournaments, as far as I am concerned: seeing amazing armies!

Did you find the missing carry case yet? Someone must've seen it, no?

Also, could you post your tournament army list? :D

 

 

thanks augustus, the main reason i go is for the best in show, never really had much of a chance of winning the actual tournament.

 

so just aiming for fun and looking at army's.

 

and still no trace of the lost figure case....

 

the army i ran with is wysiwyg. cant fully remeber but think it was something like this.

 

black legion warband + helldrake formation + renegade knight

 

hq lord on bike powerfist and lighting claw, sorc on bike max lvl with familiar

troops are the teo chaos space marine units of 5

elites is the 3 terminators with combi plas and fist sword and axe

fast we have 3 bikes with 2 melta

then some nurgle spawn

havocs with autocannons

and obliterators

 

 

 

 

My oh my. That army looks stunning! I do kind of hate you for how good it looks though.

 

 

sorry? :)

 

 

 

Awesome to see s full army shot! I especially like the objective markers! Really looking forward to seeing those raptors done!

thanks, gonna do new objective markers in the near future, and not sure when i get back to the raptors, but ill get there.

 

 

also something new, i bought a leftover board or two from a realm of battle and whipped out my saw...

so far so good wanted a display board that would fit in my hobby shelf and be sturdy enough to carry without breaking so had to pin it, need to glue it and add plastic card to the sides that i cut then add details and buildings maybe even a backdrop.

Chaos Bastion, or some other fortification?

 

yup!

only thing is i want it to look chaosy not just a standard imperial bastion, so i am customizing all the heavy bolters, even think i add some demonic skulls on the tips, but dont know if or what to do about the little chain spike thingy hanging down, i like them to be fairly uniform but it just feels off, any ideas?

Replace the barrel with the chaos tank muzzles instead?

Seconded. You're likely to have an awful lot of gargoyle heads for gun barrels, exhausts, etc. from the Chaos vehicle upgrade sprue lying around. I'd use those for quick, easy customization.

 

Uniformity isn't something I'd immediately associate with Chaos. Most of their stuff, heavy bolters included, are probably relics cobbled together from different forgeworlds/daemon forges. Trophies and decorations will vary between individual weapons. But you might see this differently - no idea. 

 

Either way, your army is fantastic and it'll look awesome, even more awesome on its new display board and with a fortification to man. Great stuff.

I was going to suggest Bloodletters heads for the muzzles but you've beaten me to it. I'm looking forward to seeing this. I've got 2 bastions I need to get sorted but didn't want to have the standard Imperial one with spiky bits.

 

Really like what you've done with the heavy Bolters so far

Just make sure you can actually get those heavy bolters back into the sockets. Might be difficult if you add too much chaos-y bits. Also test fit the moving function on those sockets.

heya Bio, its not bloddletter heads but close, its a fantasy helmet that looks like a bloodletter face, minus the horns now i cut them away.

i know i been test fitting them, plan on glueing them in place then glueing the skulls on after they are mounted

 

 

Such sacrelige to use that helm as mere heavy bolter accoutrement, but gods damn does it look great the way you've used it. :tongue.:

 

i was a bit hesitant, but i have 3 sets, so tought that one might be worth sacreficing, my plan is to cast 7more of them now i cut one down to size

 

 

This level of modeling on a simple fortification is inspiring, I can't even be bothered to finish my knight hehe

 

hehe, well as Bio said, we dont want it to just look like a spikey version of a imperial bastion.
