Looks great, which spray paint did you use to apply the white onto your vehicles?

 

Edit: Oops I thought I was at the end of this thread. Termis look great too!

Corax white, 2 thin layers, following several hours of labour with masking tape.

As part of a trade I made, I got a rather weird conversion of a ravenwing apothecary base with a mechanicum shoulder pad and techmarine head. It's been sitting on my bench for a while but I think I've figured out what to do with it at last.
 
Templar techmarine on bike with conversion beamer. I'm also trying to figure out how to procure a servo arm.

The power axe is actually made of two axes blades, and the remaining aft of one of the axes is the conversion beamer/shoulder canon in place of the spotlight on the apothecary backpack. Said spotlight is now used as an extra thruster on the back of the bike (which you can barely see from this angle)
 
I haven't filed the wing symbols on the front because i intend to cover them with crusader/purity seals, I haven't done so at this stage because I want to see some paint on first to make sure I don't overload it with bling. 
 
What do ye think ?
 
From a gameplay perspective, I'm thinking it makes for an amusing HQ for 105 pts. Run in the backfield, shooting S8/AP4 or S10/AP1 large blasts, can grab objectives. It's no thunderfire cannon in staying and fire power, but it's still going to be difficult to shift (T5, 2+, jink if needs be) and a royal pain in the neck. 

 

Edit : curse, it's regular not large blast, not quite as good as I though.

Progress report, please excuse the oversized picture as I'm posting from my phone.

The base needs to be washed and drybrushed, and there's a fleck on silver on the helmet that I need to remove.

 

Opinions ?

Further progress on hiding the last remaining DA symbols and a different angle. Please forgive the grainy, oversized photo.

Great model. A nice blend of mechanics and Black Templars. I'm happy to see that you've removed DA symbols and am still not sure about the size of the beamer (though, it makes sense from a 'real world' perspective for a mobile unit to have a compact weapon). My only remark would be the Templar cross which suggests affiliation to the Reclusiam. But it looks cool. Also, I think that the red bolters and the additional armour on the front mudguard are extremely nice touches - they look outstanding and suggest that the bike belongs to a techmarine.

Lord High Marshal Helbrecht,


The band of traitors we are hunting on your orders has taken refuge in a space hulk recently re-entered from the warp. This hulk is being investigated by an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor as one of the wrecks it contains is broadcasting a 10 millennia  old imperial emergency signal indicating presence of rogue psykers onboard.
 
The inquisitor has petitioned our assistance in clearing the hulk. He appears to be a strong willed servant of the Emperor and has observed all protocols in petitioning for our assistance rather than requesting it. Unless instructed otherwise I plan to proceed with the clearing of the hulk and identification of the imperial vessel.
 
For Sigismund and for Dorn

What do you think ? Null rod for extra anti-witchery shenanigans, power armour for enhanced save, them psych-out grenades will go on the belt.

And it's done !

 

Introducing the Lord Inquisitor Morken from the Ordo Hereticus

The device on his right vambrace is a psych-out grenade launcher (sniper scout binoculars, PO grenades are the blue thinguies on the same side from the scout kit also), and although he is no Ordo Maleus, the skull on his left pauldron is that of a daemon that thought he could enter the materium via a rogue psyker the Inquisitor was "interrogating" - and he hates being interrupted during an interrogation.

 

What do ye think ?

I just love that left hand on the sword pomel... I get the feeling you picked the model for that reason. Because I would have!

That and the haft of the spear, which acts as a convenient null rod. I'm not going to lie, the original model has a pretty badass pose all right.

To be frank, it's the best Inquisitor conversion I've seen in a while if not ever. :thumbsup:

Thank you for those kind words sir.

Lord High Marshal Helbrecht,

 

We have advanced toward the source of the signal and identified it as a VIIth legion strike cruser attached to the first company, that of our first High marshal, Sigismund himself. As we push through the ship, we have secured an armoury that had remained sealed and found inside a number of still functioning battle plates, including a mark of terminator armour which my techmarine indicates as "Cataphractii", as well as a number of artificer made mark IVs.

 

As we move forward, our enemy summons daemons to harass our flanks. However their sorcery seems unreliable as those daemons sometimes vanish out of existence without contact. The inquisitor reckons that the Emperor has turned is gaze to our work and is clearing a path forward for us.

 

For Sigismund and for Dorn

 

Marshal Remus

Getting the crusader helmet to fit in was a bitch. SInce I have taken those photos, I have elected to not include the sword, as per the rules it needs to be switched for the shield.

 

What do ye think ?

Sweet kitbash! I'd leave the sword in there because it looks cool how you modeled it.

 

Rules be damned, swords are like Land Raiders. You can never have too many.

This is the point where I hope you guys will go "I see what you did there".
 
Also, does the head scream "Chaos marine" too much or do you think it'll pass as a skull helmet ?

http://reho.st/self/149a90418564c91e43d91669b1b7d364a362ecc0.jpg

 

I'll add some crusader seals on the round pads that hold the cloak and a lantern at his belt I think.

Nope, I love that helmet for chaplains. In fact, that is what I used for my Grimaldus conversion.

 

I liked your converted marshal so much, I've acquired one of those models for a future conversion. I may have to "borrow" your chaplain idea as well. :)

 

Cheers,
