Again, thanks everybody!
It's time for the final part.
PART IV - FAST AND HEAVY
Wheels of fire - Noise marine bikers
One thing I felt would fit well into a metal-themed army was Chaos space marine bikers. Not just Chaos space marines on bikes, but Chaos marine bikers. All the bikes are converted since I didn't like the original ones.
The champion. There are two things that I feel must be explained about this model. The first is the face. He is modelled to look like the warrior on the front of the Manowar covers. His face is always cloaked in shadow. This was my way to show that.
The other is the colour of his bike. It is painted with chrome SENMM. As I described earlier with the other chrome SENMM effects I don't really think I succeeded. But since it looks cool I kept it. On the model it becomes a little strange since the only surfaces you see from the front are ones that reflect the sky and therefore should be coloured blue. So it kinda looks like the whole bike is made of some blueish material. But... I liked the look and it certainly made him stand out. Also notice the Eddie/Slaanesh icon on the front of the bike.
And the daemonette behind him was a must.
The icon bearer and doom siren operator for the unit. The banner is a cover that was painted for the Seventh son... album, but was never used as a cover for one of the singles. (It is just shown in the booklet that comes with the CD and on the LP sleeve.) In my opinion it is one of the best Maiden covers so I decided to include it in the army anyway.
Two bikers. Notice the sonic blasters on the bikes.

More bikers. The one closest to the camera is giving the enemy the finger, even though it doesn't show so clearly on the picture.
Brothers of metal - Roadie havocs
The heavy roadies. Needed to bring down tanks.
Autocannons. One original (almost) and one home built.
Missile launchers. The one with the beer was originally intended to have the normal arm but it did not fit properly so I had to come up with another solution. And in the end it got so much better.
Another daemonic speaker spawn.
Another angle of the spawn.
And that's it! I hope you enjoyed the army. I thought about adding things to it but it will propably take a while before I do something more. During the time I built the army the rules changed from 3rd to 4th ed and suddenly the army did not perform the way I had planned on the battlefield. But it still recieved quite low "Army composition" scores on tournaments. Without going in too much on how the tournaments in Sweden works, it means that my opposition on tournaments mostly consisted of armies that were a lot more competative then this one that I had a hard time beating. If it is going to work properly it needs several changes.
But even if I don't play it that much I am still very glad that I built/painted it. It will be a "display army".
Amazing, gotta the love the manowar dude.

These are awesome, the banners are excuisite.... overal.... Ii just have to say I love them
OK. Here you go!
That's got to be one of the best armies I have ever seen. An original theme that WORKS, a fantastic paint job and brilliant converting skills. That, and it makes me chuckle. Armies that can do that well are always the best.
Well done good sir!
I DIG the bikers, I really think they're the best element of the army. They are done so well. And together with the rest.. Amazing, just amazing.
Now onto your Rammstein imperial guard

Amazing and a joy to see - i'm quite sad that you're finished!
Damn man now thats hardcore. I always wanted to do a slipknot/mudvayne/mushroomhead-ish choas army but there no way in hell i could do the banners justice to even try it.
I tip my hat to you sir

omg...that is just...wow i wish i could do that...congradulations...you should take them 2 tourneys & win best painted/converted whatevr...
Alright, I know you are done, but I do have one more suggestion.
If you could make a Powerslave-themed Thousand Sons Army (IE, paint the Rhinos with the cover, make the Mummy Eddie), that would be so *********** awesome I would love you forever.
I mean, I already love you forever, but dear *********** God, man.

Being in the same gaming club as Bulonicus, I think can answer for him (and I believe it was stated early in the thread): it won "Best Painted" in all four major tournaments here in Sweden the year it was 'on tour'... How it would fair in a GT we still want to know.

Heh, a friend of mine started this very theme, slaaneshi metalheads and now i wonder if he'll continue!

I really like the beer guy and that biker.
They own.
That army is just great, and unstopable.
