Minigiant Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 So hello everyone, starting on my second IG army. Considering the improvement to my painting, I am excited to see what I can do.The 57th Goru Fen Riders 'Moss Raiders' is a composite armoured cavalry regiment formed from the remnants of the 39th Drookian Fen Guard and the 112th Savlar Chem Riders after the ill fated campaign in the chloride-swamps of Goru.I have no intention of fielding infantry, a good friend is working on my cavalry so I can cast them up myself and save a) a tonne of time a tonne of moneySo I started working on my2nd Armoured Company and 3 tanks from my 4th Tank Killer Company.The picture below is all Ragnarok tanks (3 Battle Tanks, 3 Exterminators, 3 Eradicators, and 3 Vanquishers)http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu274/Minigiant/20170227_124612_zps9xdvbum1.jpg*The Vanquishers are in the 4th company, the 2nd company command tank is going to be a pretty special conversionThere is still a tonne to do.

Minigiant Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 That's a lot of tanks! :D No other way. I had a lot left over from my previous guard army. What is not seen is my 3 Demolishers, 3 Thunderers, and 3 Destroyer Tank Hunters. The first two I have plans to convert with Atlas Recovery Tank parts to creat a Siege Tank company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sorry, I meant in a single picture :P When do they get paint? ;) For the studious comrade the correct term for a gathering of Guard tanks above 10 is a "nutenof". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minigiant Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Wow, theres some heavy metal! Very nice, what line are the turrets and hulls from? Anarchy Models, Tinnelon Turret. Think they are out of stock. I have them as I provided the original hull to cast. Part of the deal I got quiet a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrim Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Excellent, i like the look. Can they take sponsons or not really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minigiant Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Excellent, i like the look. Can they take sponsons or not really? I dont like Chimera sides with sponsons.

Tallarn Commander Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Great looking tanks. It would be hilarious if you gave each of them a heavy stubber, mounted in the back of the turret facing to the rear of course. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrim Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Ah i see, I thought those were storm bolters initially. Neat profile on the Ragnaroks, almost a Panzer meets KV-1 look. Most of the other tanks dont need the sponsons, I do really like plasmas on my Eradicators though. Just to tackle +2 saves, you could alternatively do a Demolisher variant, the short large bore cannon on a big turret like that would look intimidating as a side bonus. +++Edit - Disregard just saw thats your intent per above. Thumbs up, gotta post a battlefield pic when theyre painted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minigiant Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Here is my army list for those interested http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330006-1850pt-cavalry-list/ Means very little in the scale of things as I start to work through the companies of a regiment (Based upon what I have been able to find on the internet, as well as Imperial Armour books, and some common sense) The reason for the double post I need help, or how can I make a 40k Imperial Guard looking Galloper Gun http://www.geocities.ws/oldsage.geo/bc-artillery.jpg I will have some Wip of the cavalry conversions soon, that will prob help figuring out how to make 40k versions of ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettfp Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 For galloper guns i would suggest getting some scale wheels (theres plenty of places online that have them) and some plasticard. Or maybe the WFB Empire guns(volley-something maybe) with the wheels swapped for modern ones. Or some grot guns converted to look less orky. Pick one of those and attach it to a horse. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minigiant Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 So a friend has started converting my rough riders http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu274/Minigiant/IMG_2164_zps1flsjaxj.jpg I had plans for using Victoria miniatures chem masks on them but now I am not too sure http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu274/Minigiant/IMG_2165_zpsxz0uwioe.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu274/Minigiant/IMG_2166_zpsmmqlwonf.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu274/Minigiant/IMG_2167_zps2lgll5fl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nope, you could go for any heads and they'd fit pretty much! If you're looking for suggestions, maybe some form of plume helmet might be cool, give them a bit of pomp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettfp Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Not sure exactly what feel you're going for, but since drookians are celtic based maybe some space wolf-esque barbarian heads could work. I know spellcrow and maxmini do some good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Drookian Fen Guards always seem to have bare heads with respirators covering their nose/mouth. Seeing as the horses have respirators, it would seem rash for the riders not to. With that in mind, how about something like these?: https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_10&products_id=229&zenid=gtl98tt4n8bhpkk3oj2ftc8o73 Or for something a little more all-enclosing, these?: https://madrobotminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_10&products_id=216&zenid=gtl98tt4n8bhpkk3oj2ftc8o73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
