Astra Militarum Gotterdamurung [Armageddon] Regiment

[dice4thedicegod]

Decided to go conversion heavy on my guard force. Using a mix of warlord games miniatures, GW weapons and some 1/48 flyers and 1/35 ground vehicles

Here’s what I have so far:

An hq commisar

Hq psyker

Rough riders

Valkyrie (hind!)

Leman Russ

3 squads of falshirmjaegar

And still being built:

Macharius Vulcan (out of a Maus and a couple of 1/6 scale terminator2 rotary cannons)

[OakRiver]

Great start. For your HQ Commissar, his power fist looks similar to Yarrick's. 

[Exilyth]

Great kitbashes. I especially like the Hind-Valkyrie.

 

What's the Leman Russ turret made from?

 

 

btw. - quick question about the thread title: Is it really 'Gotterdamurung' or did you mean 'Götterdämmerung'?

Ha - yes, it was supposed to be Götterdämmerung (as I was planning on using Armageddon regiment rules and had a few germanish figures) but misspelled it!

 

Oh well, not like it’s the end of the world!

[dice4thedicegod]

Wow, it’s taken me a long time to get back to the guard! Finally blitzed my loyal 32 and got 22 of them speed-painted. Not a paint job to be proud of, but I'm proud they are finally painted!

10 more to go!

... and then the rest of the regiment!

Götterdämmerung is literally the end of the world.

 

Couple great kitbashes you have there. Where is the Commissar's power fist from?

Yep, “end of the world” was my little joke.

 

The powerfist is from the necromunda orlock gang

[dice4thedicegod]

Ok! Finished the loyal 32, now to spur on the the rough riders!

 

 

[Closet Skeleton]

Powerfist looks good.

 

Chimera chassis for counts as Leman Russ might be more confusing than a entirely non-GW vehicle.

 

I severely recommend GW's newer small oval bases on rough riders.

 

Technically Götterdämmerung is the title of an Opera where the world doesn't end and the older Ragnarok myth kills the world off in the prologue before the real action starts/norse mythology nerdery. Armageddon is a hill where a battle is prophesied to occur before or during the second coming which is or isn't the end of the world depending on theological disagreements/a American motion picture where the world doesn't end because blue collar manliness gets in the way.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your guardsmen are well-painted and detailed.

[dice4thedicegod]

Playing around with the Hind / Valkyrie conversion. Added tail wings and more engines. (Think it looks better this way!)

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Hind conversion does look better than the Valkyrie. How will you explain the holes where the Hind's engines and auxiliary power unit's air intakes are? Shoehorn hunter-killer missiles, lascannons, and/or other weapons into the holes? Use rondels (small shields covering the gap between the breastplate and pauldron, to protect the armpit) to cover the holes, and claim the gunship has an archeotech shield generator that grants it an Invulnerable Save?

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Well painted army so far, they look great!

[Cadius]

nicely built. But your Commissar in the first post doesn't look like a Commissar, it has the wrong hat.

I just differentiate between officers and commissars by whether they wear grey or black coats :)

[Quixus]

Looks great so far but I think you mean Götterdämmerung, or Goetterdaemmerung if you do not have umlauts.

[dice4thedicegod]

Started to mess around with the macharius Vulcan kitbash

 

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

That tank is super cool looking!

[Kierdale]

The Hind Valk is fantastic! :tu:

[dice4thedicegod]

Think it will probably look a bit better with a couple of guys up top

 

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

I really like that idea!

[dice4thedicegod]

Finishing up the kitbashed sergeant Harker. Might do a few details on the “volley gun” or his face.

 

Now I need to figure out a good 40k sharpe!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The kitbashed SGT Harker looks good.

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Looking good!
