Just wow....i saw a beautiful pic of facebook the other day and i just had to come and see wht youve been up to and im speechless.....i am quite evious. Keep up the great work !

Thanks mate, what've you been up to lately?? Haven't seen your lovelyIF's around in a while

Amazing looking your new stuff looks wonderful. I just picked up the termies and the contemptor myself and I'm in love with these models. Its been a while since I've fallen in love with new stuff. Yours inspire me to take my time and not rush my work. Keep up the good work, I also love your chaplain and Dorn.

Thanks man, and I knw exactly how you feel, I feel completely in love with those very same models myself. Let me know when you've posted some pics so I can see what you make of the models ;D

This thread is pretty amazing. Your version of Dorn is definitely my all time favourite. The proportions are really good. As is the posing. I am looking forward to more updates.

Thanks a lot, hopefully there'll be an update soon with new stuff, until then you're gonna have to enjoy this update.

Update:

I had a great visit from a good friend the othr day, SDKFZ took his motorcycle out for a spin and ended in sunny Denmark and he brought company for my IF's









The models are great, and the leviathan honestly nearly didn't make it back to Sweden as I was very tempted to David Copperfield'ing it XD

I also got some awesome bits, mainly for iron warriors, but they will make an appearance in my IW thread at some point, but I also got some pretty sweet plastic bits from Japan Thanks again mate

For those of you not familiar with SDKFZ's work go check out his awesome stuff, especially his reaver titan which is amazing Check his threads out here

Love the Tartaros Termies, and that Captain is outstanding. Good job of removing Sicarius' insignia, he looks great in yellow!

[Gearhart]

Hopefully ill have a few things to show for my absence....and i hsve to admit i found a few orks recently and painted a few haha

[SDKFZ]

Thanks alot, Mate ! That was a very pleasant trip i had to Denmark. Loads of inspiration and some wounderful time spent with a fellow builder (and GF).

After seeing tda:s models live, i can only say, they look even better IRL
Do wish i could paint like this guy

Ill have to see if any of my pics. are good enough for the forum, if so ill post them later.

Thanks for having me over and "bumping" me, Mate !

Thanks, it wasn't actually that hard to remove the UM insignia, the hard part was hollowing og his shoulder pad XD

It was great having you over mate, looking forward to seeing you again and thanks again to you and your brother for the awesome bits ;D
And you're way to modest, your models look brilliant, also the paint job ;D And I'll gladly promote you again if I get the chance! So you're welcome.

And just to clarify for everyone else, the GF is not meant as a pun on me, my girlfriend was also there when SDKFZ's visited me XD

Yeah I know, apparently you can't link a search on users posts... Silly me, but he's frequently posting here so go check his profile out.


Update time:

A better picture of the tartaros terminators:


And then painting is progressing on the Land Speeder:





The tail number and diamonds icon are meant to be squadron number and insignia as I really like the iconic look of playing card logos, and I intend to incorporate them into the fluff like i did the ace of spades I try to differ from using company markings as I like the idea that the army, under Rogal Dorn or the first captains command, is comprised of units from the entire legion, and not just one company and that vehicles in general doesn't display specific company markings as they are all part of the legions arsenal. But that may of course change along the way if it turns out to be too hard to keep track of. The laurel on the nose is from the old 2nd ed devastator marines transfer sheet and I thought it looked awesome and could easily act to denote the speeder as being assigned to the first company for now.

[SDKFZ]

Well, thanks anyhow, Mate

Had a look on my pics. and some of them are useful.

A bit blurry, but its fun to see a whole kitchen table full of beautiful models.


tda:s great treminators and raider.


Guess you know this guy.


The landspeeder


My malcaruss looks on cautiously as the imperial fists do their stuff.


Any time, Mate !

[Nostro]

Sweet stuff in there. I especially like Dorn. Where's is head from? It serms I missed it if you said so and can't find te courage to re-read the thread, I'd only end up looking at the pictures anyway.

Edit: nevremind, in the meantime I went idling on the FW site: Mk IV Command set?

Thanks man, and nope it's Huron blackhearts head, the tyrant of badab himself

[Nostro]

Curses, foiled again.

I liked Huron's head the most when I saw the mini, it should have clicked in my mind.

[Fle]

The IF look absolutley amazing. They are my fav chapter and you have more than done them justice. The weathering on the armour is very subtle and effective.

As for the tanks...wow they look fantastic.

[the damned artificer]

Thanks for the comments guys

Here's a little group shot of the finished, and almost finished stuff for the army.


Forge World is hell bent on ruining my economy... Luckily I like, no I LOVE resin, so at least I'll be happy, hungry but happy XD

[SDKFZ]

Well, TDA you know they mix crack in their resin kits, dont you

Minis looking great, Mate.

[the damned artificer]

Yeah I know they do mate ;p Them bastards XD Hehehe

[shaw3029]

Looking great!

I still love the Chaplain conversion.

How about a army shot with all the unpainted and WIP stuff as well

[unwanted]

Looking good. I don't remember if I told you, but that speeder is the best!

[the damned artificer]

Thanks guys, and I'll see if I can squeeze a full army shot in sometime soon

[synapse]

love the conersions! lots of thought and love have gone into making these. and seeing the land speeder made my all nostalgic! great stuff!

[Mega Nutz]

Fantastic little force you got there, the individual elements are great but together they're stunning! That Landspeeder is a work of art!!
