Some questions for everyone

[Malika]

- 40k IG army (Battlefleet Anargo crew) - Just a few squads. Enough for a Kill-Team game)
- 40k SM army (Revenants, Lazarus sector)  - 2000 points

Where can we find pictures of those guys?

[CELS]

Alas, while I do have pictures of most of my armies, I don't have too much on this computer. Some of my epic stuff can be seen here, some of my BFG stuff can be seen here and a tiny amount of 40k stuff can be seen here. The Revenants Space Marine Chapter were basically just my old black and white Omega Legion Space Marines, renamed and given a new chapter symbol (and background, of course). Not terribly exciting, I'm afraid.

Good luck building the Knight, Dragonlover. Will it be a typical 40k scale Knight conversion using a Sentinel cockpit for its head, or are you looking to imitate the Epic scale Knight miniatures?

[Dragonlover]

Probably a modified Sentinel cockpit, but we'll see what happens. It's also gonna be blockier than the Epic mini, more like the profile of a Lucius pattern Warhound.

Wrathchild, the Knight suit of Frederick du Montagne, Lord of the Spear of Greavedale, is currently under construction. Well, I say that, all that really needs to be added is some exhausts in appropriate places and then further embellishments. Without further ado, onto the pics!







Before anyone says it, I know my plasticard work is a bit shoddy. It's the first time I've really used it, and I've discovered it's a bit of a sod to work with. Eagle eyed observers will also note that the shoulders slant in opposite directions, I'm not really sure *what* happened there, but by the time I noticed the glue was well and truly bonded. I figured I'd stick it up here before doing a log elsewhere, if only because I'm not sure where to put a log; Warseer, Dakka or both.

So yeah, what do you think?

Looking good so far man! Don't forget to put a log on the Troll Forged forums as well! 

You might want to add more details to the plastic card, also make the weapons smaller. I know 40k weapons tend to be out of proportion, but this is a bit overkill at the moment.

[Dragonlover]

More detail is gonna be going on the plasticard, probably with help from the Cities of Death kits. As for the weapon sizes, they look more in proportion in person, especially the battlecannon. I did ponder the idea of making the engine block for the chainsword a tad smaller, but I was so happy that it went together the way I wanted it to I decided 'sod it'. Maybe on the next one, I'll have a smaller engine block and more slimmed down blade.

P.S: Blogs up on Dakka and Troll Forged.

Very nice for a first try at plasticard.  Scratch-building machine parts is no easy task. I wouldn't worry about a few odd angles, it's fairly easy to cover that up by adding some texture bits later, like Imperial eagles, vents, cables, etc. I hope you're not just planning to add a few rivets to the plain surfaces and say 'Voila'

There are two things I'm a bit concerned about. First, the legs seem short. I'm trying to picture this thing walking and I can't help but picture a wide gait. Then again, it can't possibly be worse than the Astartes dreadnought! Second, I would probably go for a different design for the head. Using the sentinel cockpit as a base, it's very easy for the head to end up looking like the front part of a lorry

Other than that, it looks great. I'm sure it will turn out very well.

[Dragonlover]

I'm planning on adding some kind of collar to the cockpit, at least around the top, so that should help alleviate lorry-ness and be a subtle nod the the original mini. As for detailing, I've got a whole bunch of Cities of Death stuff, as well as some plasticard, so it's not just gonna be a case of 'pop rivets on and away we go'.

Dragonlover

[Dragon Lord]

I agree with Malika about the size of the weapons, but apart from that I must say that it does look very good, especially as a first attempt at using plasticard!
I look forward to seeing it when it has had the cities of death detailing added.

Hey all, just wanted to say that i'm still around... and actively promoting the rather quiet project.

I saw it yeah! Looking good so far man! I'm almost tempted to re-start my 40k modelling projects. It's just that well...I've got real life buggering me at the moment and my interest in the 40k universe is fading away more than ever (maybe I'm "growing up"?). But yeah...I might pop up again with some modelling stuff!

[oink]

I play games fairly regularly... was at a tournament in the middle of August (don't ask)...

As for modelling, thats been a little less on the active side... being very busy in meatspace puts a hamper to this... buying and moving into my first house, has meant my weekends have essentially ben spent building flat pack furniture and painting walls! Not to mention I recently got married and all things considered, I'm glad I managed to go to that tournament at all!!!

However - I am about to start work on my sisters of battle army - which is to be a force fromthe Order of the Lady Reborn... our very own Order Militant.

I will of course keep things updated - for at least as long as my motivation for it lasts...

[CELS]

Congratulations on getting married and moving into your house

I'd love to see your Sisters of Battle army. Why not start a project log on Warseer, like Haarken did for his Epic: Armageddon project[url]? Easier to stay motivated with an online project log, I feel.
