Colonel Bindoff Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Dry brushing rocks to make them more rock-like. Sometimes I pause and think we're all crazy. Then I pick up my landspeeder, make zooming noises and multi-melta my tea. I'd go with assault cannons personally because of the higher shot volume in case of jinks. Did you go melta on the front? There's always magnets if you like that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Yep, front is melta. I considered Typhoon launchers, but decided against it. I was leaning toward assault cannons, actually. They can penetrate a Land Raider if you get lucky and roll a 6 for armor penetration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Bindoff Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think they're way more reliable for anti air duty as well. Melta remains my first choice for land raiders and their ilk. But assault cannons are brilliant against transports, light armour etc, and POTMS helps pick and choose targets. I mean, what's not to love about the storm raven?

Race Bannon Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Vows updated - welcome NiceGuyAdi :tu: I may keep my Stormraven as stock - AC and HB with rockets. Pew Pew ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo1701 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Vows updated - welcome NiceGuyAdi I may keep my Stormraven as stock - AC and HB with rockets. Pew Pew Magnetise it? I did that with a Grey Knights one. Works quite well. The worst part is getting the magnets to fit in the nose part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaas Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Finally found time to crack on with my vow! WIP shot of the Contemptor, just need to finish building his chain fist arm and a little bit more work on the base, then he's ready for some undercoating. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/Valaas/IMG_20170302_070329_zpshwrolopu.jpg As always comments, suggestions and questions welcome.

Race Bannon Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Woot, easy :tu: I worked on my pod last night for about an hour ... I forgot that I cursed FW many year ago. So I am paying for my aging memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo1701 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 As requested Race, managed to assemble it fairly easily, given all the bad things I heard about assembling them. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/2017%20Miniatures/image.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo1701 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm going to call this completed. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/image_4.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/2017%20Miniatures/image_1.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/Damosmy/2017%20Miniatures/image_2.jpgNot entirely sure what I want to do next with it, so I'll let it sit as completed until I decide how and what should be next. If anybody asks, It's new in the launch rails... Awaiting its first deployment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyMac Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Very sharp. I like the red trim--no point in a drop pod being stealthy (like white is stealthy anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Bindoff Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Vow complete. I now understand why people hate painting drop pods. It's painting the exact same thing five times. Paint then twist, paint then twist. Still, the Knights are becoming a viable force now. Just twenty devastators, ten tacticals, my honour guard, a librarian, a chaplain and ten more assault marines to go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Heck yes! Very impressive round of completions ^_^ I'll update the OP tomorrow. Until then, keep them coming gang. I've got to take pics of mine as it is finished too, but it's not official until you see it too. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
