I'm clueless on what to post next week as well, but I'll try to think about something. Silly posting schedule! </b><br />
<br />
Anyway, to the point, back to the Terminators! Today, the second part and the other five men!<br />

There are all brand new and share some interesting features, at the end of the post.. Starting off with Liufr Fireeater. His name doesn't come from nothing, but more on that later... Currently he is equipped with the standard terminator loadout, storm bolter and power weapon.<br />

Eyvindr Frostwind, the second man-Cyclone. This one also has standard loadout aside from the rack of missiles on his back. I would say he is close to being my favourite terminator as well!<br />

This terminator, Snorri Sharpclaw, has actually been made from an AoBR terminator. Could you guess that? I reposed him a litle and added wolf parts and he turned out quite damn well if you ask me.<br />

Kettil Njordsson, with the thing to chew through vehicles in combat, in addition to shooting. He turned out very.. golden. He seems to have the most gold on him from all of them.<br />

The storm shield detail along with the sword. I painted it rather blandly to make it stand out from Rune Priest's Runic Sword. I didn't like re-using that part, but I didn;t really have any other sword.<br />

Since everything I had to paint for the Guard is done and posted, time for some Space Wolves again! Taking off with my favourite models, that I've put off for too long. I decided to split the post into two parts since there's plenty of pictures here. Each and every terminator is unique, so I got details shots of every single one. On with the show! </b><br />
<br />
<br />
Starting off with the group shot of the first five. Perhaps you can recognise one of those from an earlier post!<br />

And that's it for the first bunch. Not many words in this post, but hope pictures more than make up for it! Stay tuned for part 2, which is a bit more interesting!Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-38716722205059844752011-11-14T11:57:00.001+01:002011-11-14T12:15:52.122+01:00How to Magnetise the Dark Eldar Razorwing<b>Right, about time for some tutorial! Dark Eldar Razorwings. Everyone loves the model. However it comes with a real ton of armament options and being a DE model it's all very flimsy thin and hard to drill in, so I had to come up with some way to magnetise those, especially the missiles, which are probably the thing that will get changed the most. If you ran into some problems I hope this little article will help you out!</b><br />
<br />
So here we have our fighter. I have magnetised everything that is interchangable, as laid out in front of him, although I haven't magnetised all missiles yet. I am using cylindrical 3x1 mm neodymium magnets for this, small would be handy, but can't be even 1 mm bigger than that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPDIcZFlMOHYRoDc1GmivtGjkeYW-H2-jmD9CXhoCbmj1NrlfV2y4QC4IAAb2wwzs-pOVTyYD9z7hrK4uqD1nux2HC7u2GCet_jsQBhVuNO-M7c0ce8IwPXW5r8Cpy0Q0gKYSOjr14pfHx/s1600/RazorwingTut1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPDIcZFlMOHYRoDc1GmivtGjkeYW-H2-jmD9CXhoCbmj1NrlfV2y4QC4IAAb2wwzs-pOVTyYD9z7hrK4uqD1nux2HC7u2GCet_jsQBhVuNO-M7c0ce8IwPXW5r8Cpy0Q0gKYSOjr14pfHx/s320/RazorwingTut1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Let's start with the fighter's underbelly. First the two missile holders that are in the middle - the ones moulded onto the hull. Drill two smal holes in the red spots marked below. Easy enough.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctk3cQZ6p6bzST3vEIe-tm6mq-znG-Snb4_z2rPLBQcSkMN8x9rEDPDNJledJpb5xzB8d_IUqxqYZ8kMJbdYkY_HraK_hx_fYqB0KYuekzIrdlAzcXuC4VFKE0u7KAcHRgwMGILPPNC9U/s1600/RazorwingTut2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctk3cQZ6p6bzST3vEIe-tm6mq-znG-Snb4_z2rPLBQcSkMN8x9rEDPDNJledJpb5xzB8d_IUqxqYZ8kMJbdYkY_HraK_hx_fYqB0KYuekzIrdlAzcXuC4VFKE0u7KAcHRgwMGILPPNC9U/s320/RazorwingTut2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next the more tricky part, the outstanding missile holders. It's probably best done beore you glue them onto the hull. You have to cut them down a little bit, following the red line as shown in the picture below. Remove everything marked red and glue the magnet roughly in the same position as in the photo. Make sure all magnets you attach are polarized in the same direction - that way any missile will fit any spot, else it might get very annoying.<br />

Now for the missile. Not as hard as one might expect. Drill (carefully), a hole in the spot marked by red roughly in the middle between the holes, a bit more to the front. The red lines show the distance from both of them<br />

<br />
And that's it for the missiles, you can do that easily with each missile variant. Now for the rest - the hull guns. They're really easy to magnetise. First put a magnet inside the square hole in the fighter. The 3mm magnet should fit perfectly in. However push it in, so that you have space for two magnets inside. That way you won't have to drill into the gun. (So there should be a 1 mm gap between the end of magnet and the flat area within the gun "hatch")<br />
<br />

<br />
Then simply cut off the square peg and glue a magnet into its place<br />
<br />

<br />
The last part - the forward splinter weapons. You have to do that before you glue the hull together! First cut down the splinter weapon block thing, as shown below. Cut out as much as you can from the top. Below you can see a Splinter Cannon that is uncut and the rifles that have been adjusted. Then simply put a magnet at the backside.<br />
<br />

<br />
On the Razorwing itself it's a bit more tricky. There is a "bar" inside that prevents the prow gun to be pushed too far in. Place a magnet flat on top of it. It will be powerful enough to hold the weapon, but careful with polarization there. The cutting down of the top of the block makes it possible for the weapont ob e taken out and put back in after you glue the hull together.<br />

And that's it, I hope you find it useful. I'm slowly runnning out of things to post, will have to get working more, but Skyrim just had its release and I'm kinda stuck into it now.

Now that I got your attention - Something that probably most of you have been looking mostly to. I have checked the statistics that Blogger started providing with the redesign and the first post on it is the 4th most viewed post on this blog of all time. Wow! I hope I will not let anyone down. Without further ado, the 304th Sniper Squad!</b><br />
<br />
The all-female sniper squad that is count-as Ratlings. If you are interested in the modelling process and parts used I will just refer you to the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">main post on the subject</a>. And now, on with the pictures! Many, many pictures, starting with an obligatory group shot!<br />

Aaand the back. The camo cloaks aren't perfect, I was considering adding some static grass to get something similar to <a href="http://resim.thgtr.com/sites/default/files/resimler/sniper-final1.png">this</a>, but in the end, dropped the idea.<br />

The "sergeant". I really like how she turned out! Of course Ratlings don't have snipers in the codex, but this is the 304th vet squad pretty much!<br />

And that's it. That was the final update for the Guard for quite a while to come. There's other things I want to add, but mostly the Guard is done. I dropped the idea of a third platoon for now, since the ammount of cash needed is a bit too much for me now. Instead I am finishing up the Space Wolves and need to start painting those damned Dark Eldar as well!<br />

The final member of the Regimental Advisors, one that, sadly, turned out to be quite lackluster. The Master of Ordnance.</b><br />
<br />
While I probably won't be fielding that guy much, he still has quite an amazing model, that I like very much and I thought it's about time to give him some paint, especially considering that <a href="http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2009/08/to-advise-and-assisst.html">his friends</a> have been painted for a very long time.<br />
<br />
<br />
He is quite a characterful model. Like the two others he has plenty of little detail hanging around. This time starting with a nice closeup shot!<br />
<br />

Some overall shots. The lightning was very... yellow, so I did some adjustments in Photoshop. It seems colours are preserved well though!<br />

I'm not absolutely happy with the face though. Turns out the brush was quite worn out the moment I was painting him.<br />

Unlike the other advisors, he nearly blends in the 42nd with all the same colour scheme as the rest of the army. After all he is coming for a Cadian Artillery regiment so he gets similar gear!<br />

After I've painted him I am a little tempted to field him, even though he isn't really that great on the tabletop. Perhaps in my all-infantry Guard list I've been thinking about lately! <br />

And that's about it. Stay tuned for Thursday for a big reveal too, something a lot of you wanted to see! Also don't hesitate to comment on this one!Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-85599101146444985072011-11-03T11:00:00.000+01:002011-11-03T11:00:11.900+01:00For He is Our Lord and Saviour!<b>Another thing that has sat on the shelf for quite a while. While perhaps not the most noteworthy unit on the tabletop, it's definitely one of he more characterful ones. As I mentioned, it was inspired by one on <a href="http://excommunicatetratoris.blogspot.com/">Excommunicate Traitoris</a> blog. What am I talking about? Iacton Thauss, the Holy Preacher and a Missionary of the God Emperor himself!</b><br />
<br />
I really enjoyed building him (also gave me something to do with those excess flagellants...) but painting him was quite a lot of fun too! I decided to give him a little different colour, so that he stands out a little, although it is still a colour present in the army so he ties in visually.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
At first his robes were supposed to be red, but then I thought he'll be too similar to my <a href="http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2009/10/you-requested-psyker-my-lord.html">Psykers</a>. So I went with green. Although I decided that his flak vest and weapons are more tied to the 42nd. Perhaps the regimental quartermasters decided to grant him these as a favor or as thanks for something he has performed?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The name of the character, is actually Iacton Leman Thauss, and he is a character I used to play in Dark Heresy. He was meant to be this crazy flamer/shotgun-totting crazy priest with a chainsword. At least on the outside as inside he is actually quite a smart and calculating man. However this is Iacton flash forward quite a few years.<br />
<br />

Suddenly he is blinded, although he still sems to be quite capable of hitting enemies instead of allies, as he claims the Emperor grants him sight, so he does not need his eyes. It also seems that whatever blinded him has also made him forget the smart and calculating part and only made him more crazy. Although he still is quite an orator. And what of his ties to the Inquistion? After all, he used to be part of an Inquisitor's cell...<br />

Perhaps the mystery won't be solved, especially since nobody really knows about those things! However he turned out to be quite a nice model and I really had fun painting somethinga little different. I especially like how the wood turned out. Hope you like him too, let me know what you think in the comments!Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com58tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-46886818973757844952011-10-31T11:00:00.000+01:002011-10-31T11:00:04.784+01:001st Platoon Command<b>A small update today. But it's only foreshadowing what is to come. I present to you the re-built 1st Platon Command.
</b><br />
<br />
For a long time now 1st Platoon has done nothing more than just gathered dust on the shelf, since its loadout (Plasma + Lascannon) wasn't really the bread and butter of the new codex as much as it was of the old one. Also one of the squads got stripped down to the 32-A and 32-B Special Weapon Squads, so I swapped stuff around and they ended up with Missile Launchers instead of Lascannons. Which pretty much made for an even worse loadout.
<br />
<br />
But no more. Recently I have decided to re-structurize the Platoon entirely. While this particular Command Squad has been built at the same time as the 2nd Platoon one, it's been sitting there on the shelf, due to lack of use anywhere.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRAu4Gz5N7cEgA4wVQrAFve-KICO_p22c7TgMaMb_vmyARTyFdm1J4JrFfXEkIHIs_gZUihUwK8v7f5Z5pCSxoXafLGvvhl7jv1jhxrcE0vqQ6FHn-d0tc81cfwINddYuM21nha15qORD0/s1600/Command11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRAu4Gz5N7cEgA4wVQrAFve-KICO_p22c7TgMaMb_vmyARTyFdm1J4JrFfXEkIHIs_gZUihUwK8v7f5Z5pCSxoXafLGvvhl7jv1jhxrcE0vqQ6FHn-d0tc81cfwINddYuM21nha15qORD0/s320/Command11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now it changed. The Platoon was restructurised. Now the squads will be armed with just Lascannons, while the plasma guys have been moved, as you maybe noticed, to Emmet's Company Command Squad.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZng5HXAEFoGd8wky5rUw2NMHKFxpwigih27VzUIiV4tcPxWUmqXWjiDfxc2_fSkqd4Skw098mJ3QId-yZk1QSauYzpMxA6ZRaxDJygdFbLQN4R76jTpDgGDDQ1RhWvAvWNwiT-FhU3Sy/s1600/Command12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimZng5HXAEFoGd8wky5rUw2NMHKFxpwigih27VzUIiV4tcPxWUmqXWjiDfxc2_fSkqd4Skw098mJ3QId-yZk1QSauYzpMxA6ZRaxDJygdFbLQN4R76jTpDgGDDQ1RhWvAvWNwiT-FhU3Sy/s320/Command12.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Of course that means I have to re-build the 3rd squad that I disbanded. It also means I have two Missile Launchers, so I'll be likely adding a third one to make a full heavy weapon squad. Just so that they do not go to waste, since it's hardly a useful unit (or one that I'd somehow like regardless)<br />
<br />

You can see the base color-coding is now a permanent feature of the 1st Platoon as well!<br />

That's it, but stay tuned for more. I will have you know, that <b>everything playable </b>(so excluding like 3 lone miniatures I have that don't fit anywhere)<b> in the 42nd is now fully painted.</b> Yep, that's it. I will have to paint up that squad I'm adding and I have aquired one more minor thing, but other than that 42nd is more-or-less fully finished (barring any future additions there might be!). Right now I'm also finishng up the last of Space Wolves. So soon there will be just Dark Eldar left to do and then probably Necrons. That of course doesn't mean I won't be adding to the Guard and SWs, I am actually about to do it (To IG what I mentioned, SW a minor thing as well, but for the sake of completness!). But now whenever I add something I can paint it straight away as there will be absolutely no backlog for those two armies! Yay me, I guess. Expect to see "a few" more updates very soon!Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-47965655443378501382011-10-27T11:00:00.000+02:002011-10-27T11:00:01.055+02:00The Background section<b>Introducing the background of the 42nd Cadian Regiment! A new section of the webpage that's dedicated to hold every silly thing I come up with every now and then.

<br />
For now, it's just one page, sort of a teaser, the regimental organisation of the entire 42nd Cadian Regiment.<br />
<br />
Making this chart makes me actually quite excited about my own regiment, each Company has its own distinct feel (at least in my head) and perhaps someone will like the idea and maybe one day there will be another company of the 42nd out there!<br />
<br />
The panel on the right for now will serve as means to getting to the Background section. More will appear as I finish up writing it, for now, I invite you to check this cool chart out!<br />

There's plenty of content coming for all my armies, so there should be something for everyone out there. I hope you'll like it as much as I like it! The 42nd Cadian is now fully painted, with every playable model finished! There are some small additions coming too. I wanted to add an entire platoon at some point, but the ammount of money and work I'd have to put into it has put it off to a little later date. I have also come up with a very fun-sounding Space Wolves list, that would require some shopping, so I'm considering this next. If I bought the needed things, I'd more or less finish me Wolves too. The only thing left would be to pursue the entire Great Company, but that is a great task that should probably wait till I actually get a real paid job, rather than being a student, considering the ammount of stuff needed! The Dark Eldar are pretty much done building-wise. I am only lacking a second Haemonculus, that I want to make out of the new Lhaeman, but I'm still waiting for it to arrive to my local store. Other than that, shopping's pretty much over. <br />
<br />
I have shown you a <a href="http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2011/08/too-many-projects-at-once-syndrome.html">mystery project</a> a while ago. Here you, go some more on it:<br />

Got a clue yet? Pre-Heresy Marines, using the Grey Knights codex. I think it's fairly obvious which legion it could be now. However this is now put on hold. It was supposed to be a small force, however it still is expensive to make. Also, the new Chaos codex is coming out at some point soon they say, so perhaps it will have a better ruleset to represent the Thousand Sons. I could then make an army like the Death Guard that featured on BoLS at some point. Part-traitor, part-loyalist that could be played as either. That could be quite fun to make, so I'll wait for now. Also new Tzeentchian-themed kits from FW as well as possible plastics coming with new codex could provide for some nice bits.<br />
<br />The second thing I wanted to talk about is the new Necrons.<br />

<br />There has been a lot of talk about them in the internet. In case you missed the leaks, check them out on <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/403994.page;jsessionid=DE43478521A0DBD726CEA132A4259FC7">Dakka</a>. I, for one, like them really really much. So much that I am seriously considering a small Necron force. I even have plenty of fluff ideas regarding them! I'll hold off till the codex actually comes out, but I have to say that they sound like a really fun army to play, especially with all the fun mechanics, such as the entropic attacks!<br />
<br />The models are also quite amazing, although I do have some conversion ideas for the basic Warriors in my mind. We'll see how it goes, although I would like to finish off the Space Wolves at least before I get another army. Also my cabinet doesn't have much room left...<br />
<br />Well that's it for today! See you on Thursday!
Edit: It seems Blogger has broken my hiding of full posts thingy.

Two newly painted vehicles sported by the 42nd Cadian!</b><br />
<br />
Starting off with the Chimera of the 303rd Veteran squad. Nothing too fancy, just a regular Chimera, although I did decide to put a tank commander on there to help it stand out a little. Also since there is no accessory sprue in the kits anymore...<br />
<br />

From the rear, you can clearly see the 303rd squad number on it! Also shows how dull is a Chimera without the stowage...<br />

But the Chimera isn't the only thing, there's also an additional Leman Russ in its most basic variant!<br />

I did have some leftover accessories so I could spice him up a little. Also I have to say I really like the new LRBT design. Even though it isn't much different the turret just feels better.<br />

All in all I am quite pleased with those. Although it seems that the humble LRBT isn't as efficient as it used to be and I am only noticing it now. Even though it kills Marines quite nicely it just doesn't have the "oomph" other HS choices have. Oh well, I still do have two and will field them from time to time. Maybe if I get to do the Armored Company I was thinking of...</span>Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-16934023758256783382011-10-09T11:25:00.000+02:002011-10-09T11:25:28.523+02:00Man of Iron<b>Another miniature that has waited for its turn for years now. My first ever special character. Someone very special in the regiment itself! I give you Lieutenant Colonel Mordechai Emmet, CO of the 42nd Cadian 3rd Company!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
It all started with the Cadian Battleforce which came out with the new codex. There was a second officer and at first he was to be utilised with a second command squad with meltaguns, but I scratched that project after a while and used the melta guns for the 303rd Vet Squad instead. And then an idea occured to me. What if I made Straken out of him? There are bionic parts in there...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Of course, there's more.<br />
<span class="fullpost">
<br />
No wait. It all started with the 4th ed. codex, where Emmet was a Vet. Sgt. of one of the plasma-bomb squads. <a href="http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2008/05/hardened-veterans.html">Do you remember?</a> But Emmet has long since moved on. I am planning a background piece on all important 42nd characters. One is almost finished. If you really want to check it out, there's a <a href="http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=318672">draft (or rather drafts) which I posted on Warseer.</a> I will be posting it here soonish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So I continued with the project and made him "special". I added the banner to the base mostly because I love banners. And it makes him stand out really well. Bionics were added to his face to complement the hand. Shotgun and such to make him match Straken's wargear.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A detail shot to show his hand. I hadn't modified it much, I really like the way it looks unmodified. Power Weapon to represent the fact that his attacks ignore armour saves, bionics giving him S6.<br />

<br />
During the painting however I didn't really like the face when I finished it. Honestly, I think I just painted it poorly. It was the originial commander head from the Command Squad box. And then I found the old metal Emmet and an idea struck me... A few minutes later Emmet had his own face back!<br />

All he needed now was some attentind staff. Mostly I think I'll field him with the main command squad, that is the <a href="http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/2009/07/regimental-command-on-line.html">Regimental Command.</a> But in case I would want to field both commanders at once (An Apoc game, or an all-infantry list I am working on now) I scrapped together a squad for him!<br />

<br />If you've been reading this blog for a while you've seen all those plasma gunners. They have been taken away from the old squads that do not use them anymore. The 1st Platoon Command, and two squads of the 1st Platoon, that will now be equipped with only a Lascannon - part of my small restructurization of the infantry. The photo has a wierd effect on it, not sure what caused it, but as I said, there's nothing new on it.<br />
<br />
And that's it, hope you've enjoyed it, more coming soon! I'm painting on!

What I reckon is more or less, the best Leman Russ variant there is with today's metagame.</b><br />
<br />
Leman Russ Execturioner, is what you've probably reckoned what I'm talking about. A great tank, both in rules and in looks, I love the plasma cannon!<br />
<br />

But since the new Leman Russes lack the accessory sprue and I have a few Russes already, I had to do something with this one. So a little conversion was made...<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP82GpWIF0wvTxqs-yMw1K5zaBmIAgvN4ws3ee2tGrmHtosEU9EahTvMDbhzQ-6GtDHlrt2u18K7ypc5mgd-P_XjP5BKwQbWarqOP4tmcp0Ma0utfMJtHouABZZ5j0BKxdhfkq93z9xGI2/s1600/42ndExecutioner2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP82GpWIF0wvTxqs-yMw1K5zaBmIAgvN4ws3ee2tGrmHtosEU9EahTvMDbhzQ-6GtDHlrt2u18K7ypc5mgd-P_XjP5BKwQbWarqOP4tmcp0Ma0utfMJtHouABZZ5j0BKxdhfkq93z9xGI2/s320/42ndExecutioner2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
All in all I am pleased in how it turned out although I do miss the extra stowage and the track guards that the accessory sprue provided.<br />
<br />

And here's the little conversion, a female tank commander! She turned out quite okay I think, although in the greater scale of things it's quite an unnoticable details. I did have to sculpt... some.. parts.. considering the tank commander has no armour..<br />

Anyway, the tank is really good and is definitely worth fielding, especially when there's an abundance of power armors running around. I've tested it with good results and it's also pretty much the only Leman Russ found in competetive Guard lists around here. It's also great fun to use, throwing 5 plasma cannon shots and looking the enemies burn is always fun! Go get one, if you play Guard!</span>Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-19937980558880873302011-10-04T15:28:00.000+02:002011-10-04T15:28:33.295+02:00Obey without question!<b>Here comes the first part of promised Guard content! Starting off with a not-quite-nice gentleman.</b><br />
<br />
Lieutenant-Comissar Agnus Espian is an attachment to the 2nd Platoon in times of need, when the guardsmen of the 32- need that little extra morale boost.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTML1Q_RHXJTyd4RdEETPBaUstBZtr0lWpz5nn5LiJFADj_OiGuilO80Avuoc12i1Vrr03iHX-FB0rqA4NV315l1IZaSrbh4JJSJQor3CBs9x7PAglsdQAippRnP1R9eSWUSk4F0BUjnbe/s1600/Comissar1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTML1Q_RHXJTyd4RdEETPBaUstBZtr0lWpz5nn5LiJFADj_OiGuilO80Avuoc12i1Vrr03iHX-FB0rqA4NV315l1IZaSrbh4JJSJQor3CBs9x7PAglsdQAippRnP1R9eSWUSk4F0BUjnbe/s320/Comissar1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Of course there are more pictures.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
Agnus is converted from my favourite Comissar model - the guy with the power fist. Unfortunately, since Infantry Squad Comissars cannot equip fists, I had to alter him a little bit.<br />
<br />

I'm quite pleased with the result, it was a simple arm swap that required some metal polishing on the back, to remove the power generator he carried there.<br />

Also, the Comissar only joins the 2nd when I intend to use them as a power weapon blob, so the sergeants needed some new equipment sent their way.<br />
<br />

Yay for first power weapons in the Guard! They're magnetised of course, so I can swap them with chainswords they usually carry. I will most likely end up doing a 4th power weapon for the 324 squad, but those were made with a tournament deadline in mind and I only fielded 3 squads there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYDpJqA3nRXKaDmYGkVN1HlDaewOZgKFqaAJJNertMI4kInUb1G4d1jo1zN7snnZgPcXRukQH27sYNpi37IFeSxg1cRfWoA5jrWHsIX62ctIPqVcLCQScMXL7eVALCgh1z6qGxjUN4VlRK/s1600/PW2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYDpJqA3nRXKaDmYGkVN1HlDaewOZgKFqaAJJNertMI4kInUb1G4d1jo1zN7snnZgPcXRukQH27sYNpi37IFeSxg1cRfWoA5jrWHsIX62ctIPqVcLCQScMXL7eVALCgh1z6qGxjUN4VlRK/s320/PW2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
From a gaming perspective this squad is actually quite damn powerful, even without Straken (with him it turns into quite a killing machine). On the tournament they managed to chop up a Grey Hunter squad with Njal (the bugger survived though, long enough for more Grey Hunters to pour into the combat), 10 Eldar Harlequins that assaulted them and a squad of 8 Khorne Berserkers. It sure was a lot of fun to roll those dice and chop up such killy things in close combat as IG!<br />
<br />
And that's it for today,s tay tuned for more! Also you might have noticed a new panel on the right.

I am actually not posting much because I am painting quite a bit!</b><br />
<br />
More, I have actually decided to go back to the roots a little... The IG is actually getting reinforcements! My love for the Guard hsa been reinvigorated recently and I have a ton of new ideas, although I probably do not have money for all of them... For now I am slowly moving onward! Dark Eldar have been put to a hold for now (also I pretty much got all the models I want...), mostly because I needed to paint some stuff to field on a tournament next week. But once I started putting paint on the last unpainted guardsmen I got a sudden nostalgia attack and now I'm planning new expansions that will allow me to play the 42nd in a different fashion... <br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have misplaced my camera somewhere again, so I cannot take pictures just yet. But I will, as soon as I can! Meanwhile I am also finally writing down the 42nd background, which I was meant to do ages ago and which has forever sat in my head. Do you know how much fun is coming up with about 100 names for various regimental commanders? Thank god for the 40k RPG books with name lists...<br />
<br />
Other than painting I have been busy playing Space Marine. Emperor, that game is <i><b>good</b></i>. In case you play it in multiplayer, my nick there is, unsurprisingly, Haljin. Maybe I'll get a chance to shoot some of you with a melta gun in the face!<br />
<br />
Also I found some Space Wolf conversions that make me want to rip my Wolf Guard to pieces and do them again. <i>Damnit</i>.<br />
<br />

I like how he turned out, was fun to paint something <i>purple</i> for a change. I am not entirely sold on the colors of the base however. Mostly because I need to buy new Catachan Green, mine is just very very very old.<br />

And a WIP Raider. Okay, I suck at edge highlighing since I haven't painted in a looong while. Hopefully it will get better. It looks good from a distance though so it's not that bad!<br />

Let's see if you can figure what's that going to be!Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-58110355916220516172011-07-31T12:34:00.000+02:002011-07-31T12:34:50.197+02:00The Dark Mastermind<b>More evil space elves! This time, the guy behind it all, the Archon - Ecthos, I called him.</b><br />
<br />
I really liked the original metal model for the Archon, but I decided it needs at least a little bit personification. And I'd rather have him have different wargear. Thus, a little (Not too complex though. I hate Dark Eldar for that, I really want to do some heavily converted army but the original models are just so awesome I can't think of a way to improve them..) conversion work and here we go! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbIF3dvv5IXVAAzXyCeOnmW5iiDMh4aonF00VcCY4to7Tvn3ZB3EUkPb9V-AK9UvMoAL7qspZQlINX_Q_nVuLPbO4QnzsKqGIL9YIQxGRi8pnFrAWtFSwbarewNDCcUIBm_PD51rdqjK0/s1600/Archon1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbIF3dvv5IXVAAzXyCeOnmW5iiDMh4aonF00VcCY4to7Tvn3ZB3EUkPb9V-AK9UvMoAL7qspZQlINX_Q_nVuLPbO4QnzsKqGIL9YIQxGRi8pnFrAWtFSwbarewNDCcUIBm_PD51rdqjK0/s320/Archon1.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
To add some more awesomness to the most important Eldar around, I put him on a much more elaborate base.<br />
<br />
There are of course more shots.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
He is equipped with an Agonizer, Splinter Pistol, Phantasm Grenade Launcher (although I probably should've magnetised that in case he doesn't go with Incubi as previously planned) and a Shadow Field. I wonder if I could do some fancy painting trick to represent the last one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi24330XYKrV02hwgfe5KXnwKTiJn1gqmxYSFf56GHUVeZHGb16kyOcZ9HLcN1LkqW7AuN9GvCi-Dw4_JuGG0rwvbkIh9mNZg0DLgfgpxwtnbSinZS6uDzm-pPvNopt8fYBrASHddB0getz/s1600/Archon2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi24330XYKrV02hwgfe5KXnwKTiJn1gqmxYSFf56GHUVeZHGb16kyOcZ9HLcN1LkqW7AuN9GvCi-Dw4_JuGG0rwvbkIh9mNZg0DLgfgpxwtnbSinZS6uDzm-pPvNopt8fYBrASHddB0getz/s320/Archon2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
I used the pike from the Raider to add something in the background, so that the base isn't as flat. Then I though it would look much better if I sculpted some foliage on it, in line with that on the ground.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN74xNTulM_poMRmCXuP1m7XoaJ02bM0sPLf2JaHUxy91mGZ9ktowyZx5f-JeEcDqM20aj_fR4coRZB1xicFAAmmakugOG-TMliyJVpB14AOmPAyV6a1r0nSVPiFZEFs2TpyrQJZiwPhEA/s1600/Archon3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN74xNTulM_poMRmCXuP1m7XoaJ02bM0sPLf2JaHUxy91mGZ9ktowyZx5f-JeEcDqM20aj_fR4coRZB1xicFAAmmakugOG-TMliyJVpB14AOmPAyV6a1r0nSVPiFZEFs2TpyrQJZiwPhEA/s320/Archon3.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
Originally I intended for the entire model to be magnetised, but those arms are <i>small</i>. Almost impossible. Unfortunately I almost ruined the entire model drilling the hole for the Agoniser arm, thus it is there to stuf. Splinter Pistol can be exchanged, for something else just in case.<br />
<br />

Anyway, I have been readng Horus Heresy again. And I feel a huge craving to do another Marine army, curse you GW! But since there's still some Wolves left to paint, hopefuly I'll sate that Marine-hunger. Although Pre-Heresy Thousand Sons would be quite awesome, perhaps one day...<br />

Even though the Emperor resides firmly in my heart I broke. The first Xenos in my hands. But how many of us failed to resist those excellent models? Introducing... the Kabal of Last Hatred.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
The Kabal has a pretty strong theme of necromancy going, although I am unsure how best to represent it. I would've done some conversions but.. the models are so exccelt without any modifications I find it hard to do. But the Kabal has a nice backstory I could expand on, while it also has my favourite paint style for the DE - purple! Some painting methods will be applied to reinforce the tone and I had a funny idea for the Beasts... Of course Wracks are perfect opportunity for those as well, but again, I love those models. Damnit.<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough idle talk, the Kabalites!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_FHdPvG1Qx2zQzLubIytF4ivw97-y0R-jF7A9RQsFfmsiHfTvFZtcq89TC-_cKbjNXWRruevVCohlbuCiJcqbDIb-2n9DPSBpB_01ID4i97t1JsO0vviHkypN6NbzKOoZzlNfPa4AqBH/s1600/Kabal1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW_FHdPvG1Qx2zQzLubIytF4ivw97-y0R-jF7A9RQsFfmsiHfTvFZtcq89TC-_cKbjNXWRruevVCohlbuCiJcqbDIb-2n9DPSBpB_01ID4i97t1JsO0vviHkypN6NbzKOoZzlNfPa4AqBH/s320/Kabal1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Want more? There is more!<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
The Kabalites are armed with a Blater and a Splinter Cannon. Probably the best loadout they could have. I tried Dark Lance equipped ones in some battles and they failed miserably. Blaster and SC give them mobility which the DE are all about. Of course they should probably ride around in Raiders which unfortunately I did not have enough of at that point.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the models are just models, you've probably seen hundreds of unpainted DE on the internet. Let's look at more interesting points, the bases for instance.<br />
<br />
</span><br />

I got inspired by resin bases I found on the internet. I actually planned to fit this army on some, from MicroArt, but none really fit the army as I imagined it. I found bases elsewhere but then I though I need not pay so much, I can do it myself! With careful application of a compass (Seriously, that's an english name for that tool? Really?) I scratched into the surface of epoxide mass and made patterns and runes. I added some skulls (I bought 80 skulls for around 3 pounds, nothing like recieving a letter full of skulls!), some green stuff leaves, and soil, an idea I've taken from <a href="http://42ndcadian.blogspot.com/">MASSIVE VOODOO</a>. I love those bases, but making them is so time consuming..<br />

And the Sybarite. I thought he deserved something more than just the fancy... back.. pole.. thing. So a small conversion. Alas, poor Yorick!<br />
<br />
And another squad. I only have two for the moment. I should have three, but I really spent way too much money on those thus far...<br />

A sample squad of Wyches. Great models, awesome dynamism, <i>horribly</i> fragile weapons... The entire army is actually quite hard to transport, without suffering losses. Even before the battle! Especially the Raiders with various hanging parts...<br />

Plant! Making them is actually fun, I though it would be more tedious, but it's fast and easy. It's attaching them to the base that annoys me to no end, as they don't want to stick nicely sometimes...<br />

And the Hekatrix. I swapped the Agonizers around a little so each has a different!<br />

And since this post has been started long ago, but I never wrote the content, a lot changed since then, and this is the chart of the army as it is now. It grew quite huge, clocking at around 2500 points now. As I said, spent way more money on it in a short period of time, that I should have since now I have <i>a lot</i> to paint... Reminds me of when I was starting the Guard...<br />
<br />
Anyway I hope you liked those. I will be showing more interesting parts from time to time, but the painted models are still a while off. I only have a few models left to paint for the Wolves and I thought I'll finish those first.</span>Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-23735461537226996252011-07-16T11:41:00.001+02:002011-07-16T11:43:16.081+02:00Like A Rain From the Sky<b>This time, I think my favourite vehicle in my army, aside from the Land Speeders. The humble Drop Pod.</b><br />
<br />
It was really great fun to paint I actually like the overall effect. It's been painted with the most "battle damage" of all my models I think.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVU2MbFvyZZ1VwzzdgTr4syUYkNzqMY0-im0u6Q_82qXCm7D_LoF1MOtxf7RFyDPCJQh8nfqoNIv2pqu1o9yLaxRXYk5tRWIvJ0sJBg99xBZXUpwnQ1hlmCrlzaUTcTnIXFpXuCyTaW6Ld/s1600/DropPod11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVU2MbFvyZZ1VwzzdgTr4syUYkNzqMY0-im0u6Q_82qXCm7D_LoF1MOtxf7RFyDPCJQh8nfqoNIv2pqu1o9yLaxRXYk5tRWIvJ0sJBg99xBZXUpwnQ1hlmCrlzaUTcTnIXFpXuCyTaW6Ld/s320/DropPod11.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I have used various methods to paint these, washes, drybrushing dark color (such as Chaos Black) and more washes. You can see the effect in closeups.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
You can see I used carious different washes on the metal surfaces. Normally it is not a good idea to apply washes to a large flat area as you could get a blotchy result, but since it is a Drop Pod that enters via atmosphere it actually looks good!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfAcp5Yn78LxyI8VDjE40go7mgllivFIGoZ4A9CSyYnj_vjRWVRbR-f2b1TJn5OoIcmU9dKCklIxKPuX3DNGMABil9E0va2ykFs119Tamy4G1enJ5Ev8elpImaGH81570mTAKSEwEJIrAD/s1600/DropPod12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfAcp5Yn78LxyI8VDjE40go7mgllivFIGoZ4A9CSyYnj_vjRWVRbR-f2b1TJn5OoIcmU9dKCklIxKPuX3DNGMABil9E0va2ykFs119Tamy4G1enJ5Ev8elpImaGH81570mTAKSEwEJIrAD/s320/DropPod12.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
I drybrushed the lower part of the hull with Chaos Black trying to make burnt smudges left by the atmosphere entry. I also washed the lower metal part <i>a lot</i>.<br />

The stripes on the doors were painted using Ron's great tutorial, alas I could not find a link right now. But everyone knows where to look, don't you?<br />
<br />

The interior itself was great fun to paint as well. You probably cannot see it, but I painted the cables using thin lines of grey to represent the reflection of the light, taken from White Dwarf's Spave Wolves tutorial.<br />
<br />

I like painting screens, can you tell? Those display status of each individual Marine mounted in the harnesses, while the top shows the angle of descent.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Back to the Space Wolves, one of the last things I haven't shown yet, the Land Speeders! I think they're my favourite Space Marine vehicles and I really like fielding them instead of Long Fangs.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
I did some minor converting, as you can see here on the Heavy Bolter and the knife scabard.<br />

Hope you liked them, there's one more Space Wolves post coming up and then... Darkness comes!<br />
<br />
My time in Denmark is also coming to and end, and at home over 2000 points of fresh, still packed Dark Eldar await! I can't wait to start working on them, I will most likely post some details soon!<br />
<br />
Also I have bought my first Finecast - the new Haemonculus, just to be sure I get an undamaged model. Overall I really like the quality of it, will post more for sure when I get to working on it.</span>Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9123159084737866145.post-86839001443256337232011-06-17T13:36:00.000+02:002011-06-17T13:36:09.747+02:00A bigger something<b>After a week of really hard work...</b><br />

This time, something that has been done for quite a while and a break from boring Power Armor - the Wolf Scouts!<br />
<br />
<br />
While usually they're fielded in squads of 5, just with a Melta and a Mark of the Wulfen, but a full squad is ready, just in case!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR5YQsDowoZ4CxbAVvXlG1-asrs5N4Np0UOHYB1aHcnHDacsiAzMfj-8XQnMnVbPgaieG-5YkUJguve5ueHK_Y9J_1f2TsF15HWYcNbZi3-URh-t_eTZ014uBLxL1ZxccB77rPPUGkhYua/s1600/Scouts1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR5YQsDowoZ4CxbAVvXlG1-asrs5N4Np0UOHYB1aHcnHDacsiAzMfj-8XQnMnVbPgaieG-5YkUJguve5ueHK_Y9J_1f2TsF15HWYcNbZi3-URh-t_eTZ014uBLxL1ZxccB77rPPUGkhYua/s320/Scouts1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Unfortunately they're more or less a suicude squad that can take off a critical target, but then is likely to get killed by anything. But the models are quite awesome, so I still like fielding them! There's closeups of course!<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
The first three, regular chaps, I like the post of the one on the right.<br />

I really enjoyed painting those models, sort of a crossbreed between painting IG and regular PA Wolves.<br />
<br />

Next three, with Mark of the Wulfen model in the middle. Also, notice the base of the model on the right. I was planning to make it partly a mountain stream, but I still haven't found a good way to make water on the base, that would look good.<br />
<br />

I decided to give him a chainsword to make him stand out, although the regular Scout chainsword was horrible.. So he got a regular one. Not too stealthy, I guess, but once in combat it doesn't matter much...<br />
<br />

A Melta gunner and the plasma pistol on the right. Plasma pistol still hasn't seen the field of battle as it's quite an overpriced option, but I like the looks of it a lot!<br />
<br />

Besides in a 10-man squad it could come in handy, since Scouts have only one special weapon per squad, no matter the size.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuaF24vQuM3enZt-5HGw3ZJDd9WtSz5RQfY9aFtB6xsyE-gSoXZ1YeRx57QudidmRjq-Y-SYJxHT__3au03ePhvQi__Xdbu5rI6zSDe_MLVQW_Np1hCZjtikaqaqXdNEKaZcQaDZ7wdL6/s1600/Scouts7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuaF24vQuM3enZt-5HGw3ZJDd9WtSz5RQfY9aFtB6xsyE-gSoXZ1YeRx57QudidmRjq-Y-SYJxHT__3au03ePhvQi__Xdbu5rI6zSDe_MLVQW_Np1hCZjtikaqaqXdNEKaZcQaDZ7wdL6/s320/Scouts7.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
And the last model, armed with a Power Weapon, although not a pack leader, since Scouts are all highly individualistic.<br />
<br />

And that's it, hope you like them! Also, I just got another package full od DE stuff and I'm going to pre-order the new goodies as well, meaning DE will soon be very done and painting will begin!<br />

<br />
This started out as an AoBR dreadnaught that I did quite some conversion work to add wolfy details and make it look like a proper Space Wolves Dreadnaught!<br />
<br />

He is armed with the Multi-Melta the AoBR came with default, although I decided to swap the Storm Bolter out for a Heavy Flamer instead!<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
Two sides of the Dread.<br />

As you can see I added Storm Shield some wolf tails and such. Notice the small detail above the MM arm.<br />

Unfortunately the Dreadnaughts aren't really a highlight of the Space Wolves codex and Vali hasn't actually seen a single battle, since interred in the Dread. It's partly the loadout he has, since such a short range Dread is mostly suited to walk towards the enemy, something that Dreads don't really do that well. I am planning however on maybe getting the Venerable one from ForgeWorld at some point though...<br />
<br />

<br />
Fun fact. The rear part of the turret is magnetised, in case I'd ever want th ebattery that goes with the Lascannons, but it apparently tilted a little (The magnet is a little too weak with all that plastic inbetween) and I haven't noticed, and I can't really take new shots. Ooops!<br />
<br />

Of course there's more!<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
As I mentioned, oops! The back hatch is openable and it's actually the inside wall of the Rhino stuck right there. It isn't painted though, and is quite pointless anyway, so I didn't really take a picture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjA_tldQOuSLG5PH9ezpjMWKMo4Q_Wl_kll78ytgo0zl0ayR1HuQKPdkGYuSsLiQiCTUOTJJbDLGEBxJfx51_QqibvZy02ebkVdlwEXwa8sfxP7wUtp6nc2Ad7s2VMrNfUxI8bni-5fzJC/s1600/Predator2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjA_tldQOuSLG5PH9ezpjMWKMo4Q_Wl_kll78ytgo0zl0ayR1HuQKPdkGYuSsLiQiCTUOTJJbDLGEBxJfx51_QqibvZy02ebkVdlwEXwa8sfxP7wUtp6nc2Ad7s2VMrNfUxI8bni-5fzJC/s320/Predator2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Another tilted thing, the damned sponsons! One actually snapped on me, due to carelessly applied glue. It was a real pain to reattach! Still, seems 3 mm diameter magnets aren't that tough, but the bigger ones won't fit. Oh well. If you tilt them up they stay that way till you bump the tank, so it's okay<br />

I tried to <i>Wolf-ify</i> the tank somewhat hence the tails, tails everywhere. And of course the runic inscriptions.<br />
<br />

<br />

And that's it. As I'm writing it I realised that I didn't take a closeup of the tank commander. Sorry! Still, I hope you liked it.<br />
<br />
I think it looks pretty decent, too bad it doesn't see battle often. The Predators are really handicapped in this edition with all the defensive weapons nonsense. This loadout seems to be the best for the price, but it's still mostly a pillbox. But still, I liked the model so I took it. Also I'm not a fan of 3x5 ML Long Fangs... Although maybe the Vindicator would have been a better choice. I guess I'll have to have both!<br />
<br />
And now, time to mentally prepare for a long trip. See you in 1200 kilometers!</span>Hal'jinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14022104070893577542noreply@blogger.com1
