Doctor Perils Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Trying out a colour scheme for my Iron Warriors armour Once the metallics, panel lining and tactical markings are done I think it'll work rather well :) sarabando, Pacific81, WrathOfTheLion and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 It’s a nice nod to the Rogue Trader days to see a bit of camo on a Space Marine tank - obviously yours is more subtle and fitting for the modern era. Doctor Perils 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoVonAwesome Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The Calth and Prospero plastics have been sat in my Loft of Shame for years - finally going to try doing something with them for some Shadow Crusade era World Eaters. The new mark VI scale prompted me to try 3d printing some new, longer legs for my test models for my first tac squad - I plan to mix in some of the mark VI models later. Intercessor is just for scale, and I'm going to break them down for partial sub-assembly painting by airbrush, hence the white tac! Trying to paint white any other way strikes me as a fast way to end up as nuts as Angron. Iv'e been doing the exact same thing, alot of painstaking measurements based off zephon and rann and a crazy amount of test prints trying to get it all dead on. If it helps I found they are between 31-32mm from foot to top of the neck rim depending on posing, with the shoulder pads being about 6% larger as well wich threw me a bit, Still working on the smaller hands and heads as the new style of the mk 6 helmet I think has alot to do with how small they are. Looking forward to seeing some paint on your guys. LameBeard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Foes Remain Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 So with the sprue pictures of the Box set now out and abound, what are people feeling like making with the options presented? I'm thinking off getting a second contemptor so I can have one gun and one melee but not sure on how to arm them (leaning towards autocannons on the gun as I have a resin SoH lascannon one I need to build but have no idea for melee one). I'm also looking forward to pulling apart those two HQs as their parts seem spred out enough to make kitbashing them not too challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sprues seem obviously designed to go with several kits. I kinda want at least 3 dreads, probably 1 anti infantry, 1 anti tank, and one angry brawler dread.

The question for the brawler dreads are what to put in the fists? Do you give it flamers to chomp up infantry or graviton and meltas to mess up vehicles? Or... 4 dreads. A anti-tank and anti infantry version of both.... Marshal Mittens 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Imho you put Grav Guns in the dreads hands to either slow down what youre punching or to haywire AV/Dreads for slightly more reliable damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 my problem with my plans is that i want 3 dreads and none of them come with the weapons i need. They are also no longer on FW. so im kinda screwed. as for the infantry 120 beakies in 10 poses is a lot of repetition. 2 x recon squads 1 x 10 man missiles 1 x multi melta 1 x volkite support squad 2 x 5 man plasma support squd plus many tactical squads and other heavy weapons squads Marshal Mittens 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I can only assume they will come back possibly in a 'veteran' variant of the contemptor, similar to how we got the basic on and a relic one in resin, and the more techy weapons will come with that.

There are no doubt lots of people who might have good uses for them :) I have almost... almost been tempted to get a second starter box, but then I won't know what to do with an extra 30-40 beakies.. I just want the other bits, which I suspect will cost as much alone as the box. But I agree, 120 sounds glorious, but where's the Volkite listed in there?

My plan is to get 3 of the starter sets and one of each of the upgrade sets. I think I may have settled on doing the termies as ultramarines but separate from my Argonauts. I'm thinking of doing them as the 9th chapter 90th company the Nova marines. And doing them in the quartered blue and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I have just started on some 12th Legion Valkyrie transports and an Ork bomba, these are both going to be terrain pieces. The idea will be that there is a large airfield objective piece. I don't know if anyone remembers some of the old Command & Conquer computer games, depending on which side seized an area it would change visually - so with this if the Imperium is in charge of the objective you will have Valkyries parked up, human ground crew and AA emplacements , wrecked ork vehicles etc. If the Orks control it the bombas will be parked up etc. LameBeard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific81 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I am going a bit WIP crazy at the moment! Must get some stuff actually finished :) Just looking at the Aeronautica Imperialis kit for the Orks, absolutely love them they are so characterful! Just got hold of some of these ground crew from Vanguard Miniatures. Am going to have these lined up with the aircraft as part of a diorama/terrain piece/objective. Finally also got some more missile launcher troops, these are going to complete a Devastator Company (95 marines to paint in total - doh!)

Pacific81 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 That's a really nice deep red Bushman. I have been doing some work on some Titans for the Legio Metalica/Iron Skulls. Just got the basic colours down, next part is the striping which will be the potentially dangerous bit! Also a bit of a trip down memory lane - got hold of a great condition copy of the Space Marine Epic 2nd edition boxset the other day. No miniatures but the rulebook looks like it has not had a page turned and the buildings are still unpunched! They actually still look pretty good so I may fulfill their destiny and build them. This was the first warhammer game I ever bought (probably about 30 years ago now!) and so will always have a special meaning for me. lansalt, Loquille and LameBeard 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dudes won’t get down some of my Zone Mortalis corridors on that kind of base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
