[semper_fi]

+++ WIP Stormtalon Coversion +++
After seeing some conversions of the (somewhat ugly) Stormtalon Gunship i decided that mine also needed to be a walker and after seeing one here on the forums i really needed to make me one !!

This is the result of a few hours of hacking and slashing trough not less then 3 kits !!





One of the legs looks a bit funky i know, but thats because of the base





+++Stormtalon Base+++




Currently im building my 1750points army for a apocalypse game i have this weekend thats why there are alot of WIP pics in there at the moment

Veeeery nice, Im building an Imperial Fists army out of marine bits i have laying about, and i have to say, the greenstuff fists on the shoulders are really good!

I love it! What rules are you going to use? A contemptor?

Also really easy to make: just some instant mold, green stuff and a badge of the fists and your good to go :P

For now , just the stormtalon rules. I knda like the vehicle i just didnt like the model (actually i HATE it)

Anyhow....
finished 5 sniper scouts today took some Quick pics since the cam needed a recharge soon




Still needs to be tidied up but looks good enough to play with for the moment

[Sqallum]

I like it! Are you going to get Kantor/Orks eventually for some Rynn's World battles? The scouts look to be shaping up nicely.

[semper_fi]

Yup we are planning a campaign for the destruction of rynn's got a mate with a massive orc army so it will be fun

[Sqallum]

How many Fists will you hope to field? A company would look pretty cool How many points/Orks?

[semper_fi]

Well got an unlimited hobby budget (yes really unlimited) so i guess ill be going full company or even pretty full chapter but that more depending on the room where i store my models. orc side i dont have a clue , hes collecting greenies for ages :P

[semper_fi]

After having a small painting disaster with my last bath of scouts i decided to go for a landspeeder to keep my moral up. I wanst too happy about how the blue turned out on the scouts but more about that later...........


+++Landspeeder WIP+++




+++ Landspeeder Crew WIP+++




Now back to the scout disaster:
The problem is that i am using Leviathan purple to wash my models to blend in the sloppy highlights and give the army a slight purplish hue, Imo the more you go to the red spectrum for Crimson fists the better. Since im running out of Leviathan Purple -i only have half a pot left- i bought a pot Druchii Purple but that purple shade just doesnt do it for me - again this could be me-

If you have any suggestions for this problem i really love to hear it from you guys.

For now, May the emperor bless you and may his light be true

[semper_fi]

Nice Crimson Fist army. I think the weathering looks great on the Landspeeder btw.

Wa my first serious try at weathering a vehicle, turned out great so im going to do the same on my dreadnought and maybe chip my tacticals a bit

[semper_fi]
