scratch-built land raider, Graia campaign (Titus, Sidonus & Leondras)

After a few months of hard work, I have finally finished my Scratch-built land raider.

Just as a point of reference, I get all of my templates from the this website:

In order to view the templates you will also need the B1 Free archiver

I also have painted up two out of my four Scout squads

This is what I did for the camo cloaks:

 

I used Mournfang Brown as a basecoat and then used camo green for the green bits.
I then shaded this with Nuln Oil.











I have also painted Captain Titus and his retinue

The codex astartes is a set of rules. They guide is, shape us as UltraMarines, Teach us to hold Honour and Glory above all else. But how we live with those rules is a true test of a Space Marine. And you, Have failed. - Captain Titus 

I will do a Lieutenant Mira conversion but I'm just trying to work out how to do it.

an update to my work

Due to exams and other activites I have not been able to do much since my last update

I have started to paint the epic chaos army. Also I'm in the process of making some triarch pratorians and immortals and i'm in the process of scratchbuilding a land raider and drop pod

On another note, have a look at the following thread on warseer
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?189052-Necron-Army-on-a-budget-(and-unique-conversions)
This army is actually brilliant!!!!!

And lastly, due to the Necron theme, a necron joke

Imperial fists Captain, Prince Yriel and epic chaos space marines

Since my last update i have managed very little

I have painted up another model for my Imperial fists:

This model was a custom build by a fellow gamer, and he did a fantastic job!

He made the thunder out of existing staff and a chaos space marine gauntlet with two lego cones attached the the end. The shield is a tank accessory and the mk 3 helmet is a mold of the Forge World one.





Also, I have painted my Prince Yriel conversion:

The torso and legs is made out of sprue
The force shield arm is converted from a shrukien catapult arm and the spear of twilight is converted from a dire avenger power weapon with modified spear piece.
The banner and pirate coat is made from standard cartridge paper






Lastly, my friend (http://greenskinpride.blogspot.co.uk/) and I got our hands on some epic stuff and i have two weeks to paint all this up:

Such fun, when half models and weapons are missing!

Rogal Dorn complete, my Legion of five and a Farsight Enclaves crisis suit

First up, I have finished Rogal Dorn!

 I have used a mixture of components on this mini.
The eagle on his chest was a card template i cut out.
The large aquila was cut out from plasticard.
the right arm was a terminator one with the storm bolter replaced with a rogue trader bolter, the eagle is from the comander backpack.
The right arm is a mixture of a terminator powerfist and a normal powerfist, again this has a eagle on it.
The chainsword is connected by a hole drill through the powerfist with a metal rod attached to the chainsword.
The body and legs are made from sprue.
The cloak is made from cartridge paper.

This now means i have a Legion of five models:
-Rogal Dorn
-apothecary
-3 recon squad members

Models left to paint/complete:
-Captain Alexis Polux
-Captain with thunder hammer and storm shield

#ironwarriorsbeware

Lastly, this is my converted Farsight enclaves crisis suits.
This has been converted from a combination of sprue, plasticard and cocktail sticks

Rogal Dorn, scratchbuilt dreadnought, dire avengers and Necrons

Hey guys! sorry it's been a while, i have been busy with my exams

first up i finished Rogal Dorn! and forgot to take photos...

But i have this:

the thunder hammer can be removed and replaced by a chainsword (fluff reasons) or can be left on its own to be a powerfist

In his other hand he has ye olde bolter of doom








For xenos i have painted a necron Lord, Flayed Ones and my Dire avenger corsairs.

And to finish off: My 3rd crimson fist dreadnought (you can never have too many dreadnoughts!)

Thanks for reading,

Price Yriel, Eldar Dire Avenger corsairs and Rogal Dorn. All converted from sprue and spare parts

So far on Rogal Dorn i have doone the legs, body, backpack and his bolter arm:

So far, it has gone alright but as i'm not sure what his actual weapons are i'm going to frill a hole into the power fist and not glue a weapon into it.

I'm struggling to find of a alternative head though. Can anyone give me a few pointers?







My conversion of Prince Yriel:

It worked. I'm pretty pleased with it. Sorry that the image is poor...
Hopefully will look better when painted










Lastly, my dire avenger corsairs:

Made out of good old sprue, green stuff and spare parts. I made them to fit with Outcast theme by adding cloaks and hoods (idea from rangers) as i'm doing a corsair fleet lead by Prince Yriel
