Brother Crazywolf Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Fellow denizens of the Fang, I have started (barely) to work on my first (and hopefully not only) oath for this year's ETL. Here is a not so great pic that I have of my start. My plans are to make the wolf guard on the left into a chainfist (magnetized) and then dress up the rest of these AoBR terminators to something recognizable as warriors of the Rout. I have found a myriad of conversions covering what I need to do to make the chainfist, but most of them leave me wanting. The biggest problem that I am seeing is the length. What do you suggest the chainblade length should be? Also, what do you think of shields across the backs of the TDA where the vents are located? Weapons on the outside of the left calf? Not for points or anything more than character. And before I hear it, I do plan on drilling out the barrels. From there it is just a matter of bits application and then a hefty dose of "make time to get things done". I work the graveyard shift and a compressed schedule so I basically have maybe one night a week to work on things. I will use this thread to try to keep myself on track for the project. Your thoughts? Crazywolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Crazywolf Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 New bits primed and the chainfist conversion are done. Barrels are now drilled. Hoping to glue everything and start painting by next weekend. Ended up shortening the chainsword about 1/3 and mounting it so the blade was down when the knuckles are up on the fist. Will post pics once everything is ready for paint. Crazywolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Crazywolf Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Things are glued and after that finishes setting up I am going to start base coating. Have pics done, just need to prep them for upload. * Got the armor basecoat done. Will try to post photos tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Crazywolf Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 As promised, photos are done. I had a little mayhem getting this done since I went on a merry chase for supplies in the house, had to make my thinning solution (gave the last to a friend and forgot to replenish) and had to wait for the glue to completely set. As it was I got started much later (or earlier depending on your view) on this than desired. I ended up with a case of crossed eyes and shaky hands (worse than normal) at the end. I know I missed some places in the base coat and will be finishing that and working on the rest of the base coats this coming weekend if life plays well with me. C&C are welcome.

Brother Crazywolf Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 I seemed to failed the Fang this year. In penance I shall finish these as soon as possible. Real life got out the beat stick and I lost track of the date. Hopefully I will make some progress tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Real life has a habit of doing that unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
