Sorry to hear about the torn ligaments sheep. Hope you are healing well and getting back on your feet literally.

Right now you are young, but when you get older, those injuries can come back to give you trouble later in life.

Tommygun has a very valid point here about trouble later in life. I know young uns hate to hear old farts rambling on, but I'll ramble on a bit. You have no idea how well the young body can handle injury and make it seem fully healed, only to have it fall a part rapidly when age takes hold. Unfortunately the only way you will learn about this is if you learn it the old fashion way which is to have it happen to you which is of course too late, or the less successful way, which is to have an old fart ramble on about it!

You may want to look for a Feldenkrais practitioners to help you fully recover 100% mobility. It should be easier to find one in Australia then where I come from.

I am not too sure how the Australian health care is like, but my personal experience with my local and European health care is that they are very slow in adding new knowledge, updating old methods and practices. I personally feel a lot can be improved. They just fear the legal ramifications of mal-practice and hence continue to use old methods that have been approved due to the "its always been like this argument".

Have no idea what the dickens the Feldenkrais method is? Click here. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldenkrais_Method) and here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_i5QuIqcQo)

Still with me I see? Well I'll stop rambling on now. I apologize for boring the pants off the lot of you!

Cheer and get well soon.

Thanks for all the condolences guys :)

So bringing this log back to the imperial fold, I picked up a commission for some thunderwolf cav the other day. And the ordered models arrived today :D So i'm going to buy a dremel tmrw and get cracking.

I expect a job on par with Dave Taylor's fine conversions. Otherwise, I'll be disappointed in you and relegate you to the position of half-caste Kiwi interloper.

sheep

11-03-2010, 11:47

Ok, let me first say that this is a pig of a model, the way its designed to gether is just wrong, and the amount of metal is staggering!

So much so that even with the dremel i'm having a hard time hacking these guys apart!

But progress has been made!

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Commisions/caniswip007.jpg

These show all the gaps and large pieces i had to cut it into, then you fill in the gaps, and sculpt fur, and it looks like this.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Commisions/caniswip010.jpg

There are a few places that need tidying up and more fur added, and the rider isn't complete, but i'm happy with where they are going so far.

Cheers

13-03-2010, 05:30

Thanks guys, well I've finished the first 3!

Once i got a system down it was really quick to knock them out, the worst part was putting my finger in the GS i'd already sculpted.

The first 2 plebs:

We put in some more time at the coal face, and heres the last two almost finished, took the pics and realised i have to sculpt the detail around the right eye of both wolves . . .d'oh.

Wonderful conversion work, Sheep.
Now, I'm waiting for painted pics !

Noodle!

14-03-2010, 09:45

Those conversions are quite amazing, even more so considering it's metal. You really managed to put a ferocity into the model that the original didn't have, not to speak of more interesting poses on the characters!

Tommygun

14-03-2010, 10:07

Woof Woof.
Nicely done.

So I notice it looks like your Guard army is approaching completion?
Will you expand it much more or are you thinking of any other armies?

cthorpe

14-03-2010, 11:05

Hi Sheep..

Those are fantastic conversions especially as they are quite heafty chunks of metal..

Well done, I do hope we get to see some pics of them painted up..

Like Tommy, just wondering what things you are working on for your own army?

Best wishes,

Carl

Thanks everyone, glad that you like them as much as the client does.

Wonderful conversion work, Sheep.

Sorry mate, but i was only commissioned for the assembly, the painting will be done by the client, but hes a good mate, so it shouldn't be too dificult to get some pics when they're done.

Thanks guys. The imperial army is never finished, I still have another 15 heavy weapons to paint, and another platoon of infantry. But i think i'll give them a break for a while and just paint some stuff for the enjoyment. Maybe some of the new BA's and some more Orks, and i'd love to paint some armour just for the sake of it, we'll see, you'll definately see what i come up with though.

Cheers

Nice work! The wolves look fantastic. As a space wolves player I would love a squad like this but the metal conversions seemed like way to much effort as that little spark tried to splutter and light the proverbial light bulb above the head.

23-05-2010, 07:01

Thanks Mark, I'm sure you'd do a great job if you tried them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So. . . Long time since this log has seen any love, but a project i'm doing for a friend on another forums has finally given me something to post in here!

May I present the start of my AD MECH Kill team for a table at GD UK.

The idea has been gratuitously stolen from another member of the Ammobunker, AWOL.

And a close up of the legs hydraulics, that would never actually work, but look cool.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/244.jpg

I'm stuck for ideas on feet, so if anyone has a suggestion don't be shy.

Cheers

Faolan

23-05-2010, 07:42

3 toed feet: 2 up, splayed, and one to the rear. But not like clunky dread feet, more along the lines of the Timberwolf as seen here (http://www.unknownak.20m.com/favorite_links.html).

Then again, the hoof-like clompers from a Stone Rhino or Stalker work too :D

I agree with tommy, a blockier version of robocop 2's toes should work nicely without looking too.. artificial.

edit: for the next one though it seems :D How many do you plan to build?

Its really pretty open atm, I'm planning atleast 5 praetorians, but this is really dependant on ebay wins.

Also, Nicole (me missus) wants a parts list.

Well Nicole, The parts are:

Torso/head from chaos spawn
bigshoota from deff dred
CCW arm from Killa kan grotzooka (i think the skulls are from the kan kit too)
2x ork chainswords
and everything below the waist is scracth built using various tubes and plasticard

Hope that helps :)

@ Sheep: Well, he does sure look friendly enough :D

Great work, how large will the "gang" be ?

/ SDKFZ

The gang is only allowed to be 200 points ala the killteam rules, but using these as ogryns, and having a techpriest enginseer as a compulsory choice I'm not left with many points to play with. It would be so much simpler if they didn't need to be legal choices.

Did some quick feet, they're nothing like Toomygun or SDKFZ could do, or many others, but they look the part, Just need alittle bit of a clean up, and some more cables and i should be able to whack some paint on him.

I'd put another section on each of the front toes, Sheep. Make it a bit smaller across and in height than the current one, and it should look good.

Faolan

24-05-2010, 07:14

Well if you notice the picture I got you, it shows multiple sections on each toe. As is, that thing looks stubby, like it'll fall over, so add an extra section to each of the front toes. Just make it a little bit smaller in height and width, so it has the appearance of being able to move like 15c armour plated boots do.

24-05-2010, 12:32

Very nice... The very lower leg needs some more armour though. He looks way too top heavy.
Other than that I really like him. Make me one? :P

Thanks alot guys :) I'm really liking these, and would love to do more soon, but i have to finish painting my ork army, or I will lose a bet :(

Heres the final final modelling pic, added the skull to the cog design, and some armour around the shins. Thanks for all the suggestions about that, you were right it does add to look.

That is a nice conversion. Very hectic mix of beast and machine, yet nicely balanced.
Good luck on the Ork bet, but I hope to see this one painted before too long, eh?

Thanks Dercius :) It'll be getting painted very soon, I can't help myself, I'm just so much more enthusiastic about doing these rather then the orks :D

Amazing looking things. Im not sure what they are but they certainly look menacing and ad mechy. The only thing Id change would be the chains as they look a little stiff. Cant wait to see it painted.

sheep

27-05-2010, 04:22

Thanks mate, I agree about the chains, but not much i can do unfortunately.

I've just ordered 3 of these:

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/TA_32502.jpg

From 3 different sources so it'll be interesting to see which arrives first. Planning to use as the basis for the track units for the praetorian models with tracks, and either heavy weapons platforms or counts as sentinels.

If the concept looks and sounds familiar its because one of my mates (The Hoff) used the same models and ideas in his ad mech army.

Ironmonger: awesome.

Kacz: Interesting, i might just try that, thanks.

Alright due to my current work situation (ie being unemployed) I could devote a whole day to painting yesterday and knocked over a commision i got on the weekend at the local gaming shop. I painted a IG army for one of the blokes there about 5-6 years ago and he wanted some new characters to add to his command squad. So I painted:
-astropath
-officer of the fleet
-commander
-standard bearer
-medic
-2x bodyguards

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Commisions/005.jpg

Also 2 veterans to round out his squad.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Commisions/006.jpg

He's going to add the static grass himself, as I don't have the colour he wants.

C&C welcome

Really nice work there! As the first picture to load was the veterans, I was hoping you'd began making an army in that scheme! They look really awesome, the black skin makes a great contrast to the clothes. Alas, it was only a commission... Might have to do a small catachan force in that scheme myself one day, it really got me inspired. The command squad looks great as well though!

http://s107.photobucket.com/home/Sheep_06/allalbums

Thats the album, so peruse at your leisure :)

nice command squad i especially like the astropath i think its such a cool model looks like emperor palpatine off star wars :) r they supposed to be tallarn desert raiders or just some random imperial guard regiment of ur own design? good work dude keep it up.

It was all the clients design, I just came up with the colour transitions. Can't say i know much about the fluff, but i think they are some form of cadian, he wants the cadian gate symbol added to them later.

The next commision i have for you guys is a 15 (wo)man gang of eschers for necromunda.

Thanks guys :)

Catch 22: the bone was done by painting it deneb stone first, then devlan wash, then thinned deneb, then bone, then bone and white mix, then white, all thinned and painted on very carefully.

The guard are not finished with yet, I still have a few unite to finish off, Inc all my heavy weapons, so they'll get done eventually, just working on commissions atm.

Gee, it seems the only cadets who are on these forums are in the Army cadets, no air force cadets (I'm a basic cadet, only just started in March). Just saying.

Just FYI, I be an SNCO in the Air cadets up here in Scotland :L

These are fantastic, and I cannot believe that I have never seen them before! I just worked (though the beautiful models were not much of a labour to look at) through all 106 pages for several hours, and I am inspired! Fantastic!

Yeah its for his blue and white marines, only took me 3 hours to paint it, so pretty happy with that. I'm not bored I'm poor lol.

Cheers mate, glad you like it, the legs are catachan too, the only thing you have to watch out for is the double belt, the cadians have the belt on the torso and the catachans have it on the legs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So I seem to have been ridiculously productive over the last weeks, and to add to that I have some pics of a commissioned escher gang and the other 2 praetorians for my GD killteam.

The brief for the eschers was bright colours like 2nd ed used to be, apart from that the palette was completely up to me, trying to go for a punk/tank girl theme.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Commisions/004.jpg

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Commisions/008.jpg

The othe 2 ogryns/praetorians. The bone 'ed is the one with the giant clamp, I copied the design from the orginal Jes goodwin sculpts in '92 as much as i could.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/012.jpg

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/013.jpg

The 3rd one has its tracks made from a widened 1/48th scale goliath demolitions vehicle, and in kill team this will represent move through cover.

I question those being women. Sure, I see sweater meat and all, but they just look like men otherwise. Didn't know Escher was the Cross Dresser gang. Still, your painting job is plenty reasonable.

Is the eagle on the praetorian from the Stormlord gunshield pieces, or something else?

They work out alot . . . . .

The armour plate is from the new sentinel kit, i scored down the back and flattened the plate out.

Heres a pic of the whole gang thats going to the UK, I had to undercoat in white because i have no black :rolleyes:

I agree with you on the last bit, a tabard would help pick him out. Or several small pennants, as it were, off various bits.

24-06-2010, 14:01

Regarding the Eschers... Having grown up during the 80s, I actually knew people with hair like that!

The Ogryn/Praetorians are fantastic, but I think the Bonehead looks a bit weedy next his pal with the big shoota (your first one). A tabard might help to bulk him out a bit, or perhaps a loincloth is in order - since he's the only one with organic nether-bits.

lazy sheep :p if you don't have black spraypaint to undercoat your models, take the good ole pot of chaos black and paint the undercoat on them with a brush....atleast you'll be 100% sure the model will be fully covered in a basecoat of black ;)

Faolan

25-06-2010, 10:43

Actually, the white undercoat has it's uses as well - colours are more vibrant and have a bit more "pop" to them with less work with the white.

I read that too, but the description of the other legion skitarii said they looked alot less barbaric, so I think there is a lot of variation and scope for different looks within the one organisation.

Soooo back to my fav log, to add to and play with.

Theres a tournament coming up in a month that requires 2000 points, now the simplest thing would be to simply paint a few more guardsmen, but I'm not know for doing the simple thing when awesomeness beckons.

Currently I run Knight Commander Pask in a executioner, but for this new list I'd like to try him in a vanquisher, and for that he needs a new ride. And what better for that then an actual knight :D

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/WIP%20stuff/001.jpg

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/WIP%20stuff/002.jpg

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/WIP%20stuff/003.jpg

So, this is a reworking of an old knight I had made for my fallen guard army of waaaaayyyyy back in 2003. I've cut the chaos symbology off, and rebuilt the upper levels with plasticard, I've tried to ape the style of the epic warlord, which I guess is the lucius pattern.

Anyway, Next thing to work on is the weapons.

I'm also looking for suggestions for paint scheme, I was thinking of doing it in the bastardised ambush pattern the rest of my DKoK tanks are painted in, the other option is to do it ad mech red, but then it won't fit with the DKoK army.

Anyway, help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Sheep

Dark Magos Gillam

21-09-2010, 18:07

Tough call. To paint it red I think would look kinda silly with the army, but to just paint exactly like the rest of the army would do such a work of art no justice. I would paint it the same cammo pattern but with some detailing that really makes it stand out.

Looking good. Abouth dammt time you give us an update :P

Imo i wouldn paint it DKOK scheme. Rather find (or make up) a titan legion color scheme.
Personally i would do that with the intent of building a titan legion detatchment for large apoc games and awesomeness.
I would proberly newer make more than one or two titans but the difference in you and me is that you actually paint you stuff insteadt of blabbering in decent people's logs abouth all the stuff im gonna make.

What ever you decide on im looking forward to see the results.

MOMUS

22-09-2010, 05:55

Fantastic knight! If you painted it in a new (titan legion) scheme you could still llink it to your DKOK by painting the metal areas the same as your tanks, as there is quite alot on the model i think it would be enough.
Great work.

BTW, where did you get those vents from?!?

I'd go with thered for your knight as the mechanicum rarely deploys camo on their engines, as both the titan legios and the knight household are very proud of their livery. And like space marines, they want to be seen by the enemy so they know who will spell doom on them :evilgrin:

But yeah, I'd say make up a household so you have a insignia for the knight, do some personal livery for this particular knight and maybe ad some of the markings from your DKoK army to show they are assigned to that particular army. You could also paint the same camo pattern as the DKoK, but in different tones of red instead, this could be a way to tie them together but still let the knight maintain it's household colours.

The important thing to remember is that the knights will always be a support unit, and the household has ultimate power over them, and not the commander of the army they aide. This is another reason why it fluff wise shouldn't be the same colours as the rest of the army and also let's you use it in other armies if you like ;)

Hope my input helps :chrome:

On the actual build, it's great and I love the different approach on the torso. I think the head could use some remake to make it look a bit less like a sentinel but otherwise marvellous job :D

Great work one more time, I like the mix with the sentinel parts an agree with a red scheme over various metallic colors.

Great looking Knight there! :) As for paint scheme, how about same camo as the rest of the army, but with dark-ish red parts - e.g head and weapons? Or at least red markings... Would tie it nicely to Mars I think!

Cheers,
BTB

I really like this idea, and fits with the titan scheme that FW have done in the past.

Fantastic knight! If you painted it in a new (titan legion) scheme you could still llink it to your DKOK by painting the metal areas the same as your tanks, as there is quite alot on the model i think it would be enough.
Great work.

BTW, where did you get those vents from?!?

The vents are from the Baneblade

I can see where you are coming from with this, but from my perspective even the most dogmatic and blinkered commander can see the merits of camoflage of some desription, even if its only to mitigate the amount of casualties/damage taken in battle.

Plus I see knights as more of a ambush predator, they aren't fast enough to outmaneuver tanks on an open battle field and thus would have to play to their strengths of greater rough terrain ability and agility.

Great work one more time, I like the mix with the sentinel parts an agree with a red scheme over various metallic colors.

Thanks for the input mate, maybe I'll do another one in the future and do it red, but its just not gelling with my idea of a knight atm.

Looking good. Abouth dammt time you give us an update :P

Imo i wouldn paint it DKOK scheme. Rather find (or make up) a titan legion color scheme.
Personally i would do that with the intent of building a titan legion detatchment for large apoc games and awesomeness.
I would proberly newer make more than one or two titans but the difference in you and me is that you actually paint you stuff insteadt of blabbering in decent people's logs abouth all the stuff im gonna make.

What ever you decide on im looking forward to see the results.

Glad I could make you happy mate :) I hope the paint doesn't disappoint.

23-09-2010, 16:43

The idea to use a knight as a Vanquisher is just awesome!

I'm thinking of a complete IG-army, where every tank is a knight, with sentinel support and no other vehicles, but walkers.
I think that would be a great army.

Keep on the good work!

Magnetize it? They all look impressive. But if I had to make a choice I'd go for the plasma variant.

BTW what did you use as a base for the top part of that knight?

Hah no worries mate, if I was itchy I'd have poked yer. This looks really nice though, Sheep. Really nice!

If you're planning on doing more for yourself (or others), maybe you should make up a template, potentially have 'em laser cut.

Got any links to people in Oz that do that kind of thing? For reasonable prices obviously.

Nice knight, Sheep ! How will you paint it ?

/ SDKFZ

Still deciding that, Its probably going to be camo with a red head and crotch.

Also as of last week the LGS has shut down, meaning that for the next 2 weeks I will be unable to source primer (I have the local electric/model car shop getting me some tamiya stuff in a couple of weeks)

So he turns arond and tells me he has 8, and he'll give them to me for painting him some models!! And I have the death rider commissar that i've been wondering what to do with, so he becomes the SGT. So very happy right now :D

What does everyone think if I painted the horses similar to this?

No Sheep, a palamino is a gold coat and a white main. A paint does look a bit like some cows, I suppose. What's interesting is there are some who's paint naturally looks like a handprint or is reminiscent of a known object.
