More Fracking Dreads

Just picked these 3 up today, I paid £27 for the 3. The Ironclad I'm happy with, the one with 2 powerfists I've already ripped off and the white one is a metal dread, all 3 for £27, i call that a deal. So with these 3 I'm now able to field 8 Dreadnoughts. I quote Bruce Campbell here in justifing this in the Viz Evil Dead video game on the PS2 " that isn't overkill, it's just enough kill." Have to get a photo of these guys and put it up... So to business: Plan A, after a good nights sleep. From left to right- big hand is going to be converted into my counts as Bjørn The Fell Handed for my 5th Company as I'm planning on giving him all the codex options I'm thinking I'll have to get the weapons from Forge Worlds Contemptor range and spend some time working on them to fit them to the power fist hand. The Ironclad is going into my Codex Allies, thats the chain fist it's armed with, The banner will be field party per pale of orange and kharki with a sable Cross Jerusleum. The white guy is getting stripped down, and at the moment my plans are a little nebulos here, I'm thinking of going and getting another Venerable Dreadnought and sharing the weapons between this and that, but that does mean that the colours would have to be the same. I'm also considering making this into a Mortis Dread for the Lions Blades, and just order a load of gun arms off Forge World one in the new year, of course I could use the Veneradle as the Mortis as this as the Venerable... Well I've got a few sleeps at work to think on that one.

8 Hours Work

So this weekend I had a fair bit to and on top of that I set myself the target of finishing these 17 marines, I choose not to do the guy with the autocannon, on top of shopping, the post I put up on Saturday, cooking tea for my kids on Sunday as I was on a sleep shift, and cooking tea for Saturday night and being a parent and cleaning my living room up a bit. The notes next to the photos are from the Facebook Group I put them up on, as well as the comments people put up

This weekends project, 4 space crusade missile launchers, one heavy bolter (the guy with the auto cannon isn't being painted), 3 Knights of Bloods who are going to be Sgt's, and 9 Marines, the armless guy is my counts as heavy weapon marine. If anyone has a missile launcher knocking about send me a message.

Undercoated. Person 1: I see some awesome Space Crusade guys there! Me:you do yes, I have a habit of not throwing stuff away, and this is only there 2nd paint job as well. Person 1: Yeah, I still have my Space Crusade game as well, and fully plan on using every available miniature on the tabletop. Me:I've cut some of the marines up and used the legs for some of my scratch built terminators, the orks are still in the box the genestealers have been used for chaos conversions, that I'm now not using, the Chaos androids along side some 2ed necrons form the core of my (old codex) chaos marine army, and the Dread is in my Marine Company. I keep looking on ebay for more of them as well.

Orange done. Cooking tomorrows tea now, male and multi tasking! Person 2(Female):Woohoo clever you :-):-) Me:When I was posting this I was on facebook, grilling sausages and had a wok full of butternut squash, red peppers, onions, garlic and Chirizo on the hob. 3 things! Person2:A man of many talents :-):-)

Khaki half done, now off shopping again for fajita mix for tea. Depending on time I'll wash first or wash after tea. Person3:Do I see some super sweet Space Crusade marines in there? :):) Me:Chaos Marines are my missile launchers, yes and there's 2 marines in there as well.

Done! Now on to tonights tea.

And my reward for this, and 3 of it's friends.

Captain of my Codex Allies Chapter, The Glorious 1000

As you can see this is, if you have followed what I do here, my ususal method of painting officers, the exploded way. The bits used are a khorne Berzerker Power Pack, a fantasy orc spear arm, a Khorne Berzerker head and body and Warrior of Chaos legs. the right arm has an Empire fantasy pistol glued onto the end as a auxiliary grenade launcher with a shoulder mounted Plasma Pistol

By the time I'd got round to painting this one I'd found a symbol that I was willing to use and have added it to the 'belt buckle on this guy as both shoulder paldrons have moulded bits on. The keen eyed amoungst you will notice that the power pack has been painted the wrong way round, this was an accident but I'm going to bluff this out and say it's a Rnak thing and do this with Librarain, Chaplins and Forge Father, if I ever increase this allies to more than just a small detachment.

And in the last photo we can see the finished model, i've converted the spear by cutting off the rock head that was on it at first and filing out a gap between the prongeds that are modled onto the model so I could put the last of my ogre swords in there. I'm using this in game as a Relic Blade, the Captain is in Artificer Armour as well.

Unnamed Codex Allies

Here we have the start of my Codex Allies for the Lions Blades. The as yet unnamed Chapter has only one Squad but I am one step on from yesterday where I didn't even have any Heraldry to put on their should paldrons, which is the Tutonic Cross Potent or A black heraldic Jerusalem cross, which I may just use on Captains and the like. So I started off using a the Orange Fire Angels Techmarine as my insperation and then added the split colours of the Howling Griffions as I do like the look of that, a cheat around this looking bad most of the Marines I'll be painting up for this force will have the bolter accross their chests so you'll not be able to see how crap I paint the dividing line between the 2

colours.So the one Squad and 2 Heavy Bolters that I've painted up so far have all been undercoated with the last of the Iyadin Darksun as I did try one with a Mechrite Red undercoat and it didn't look good, even by my rather lax standards, with half the body in Blazing Orange, which I think is a new colour and the other half in Kommando Kharki. I swopped the colours round on the Paldron just to break it up. Which if I'd thought about it for a bit I would have put the colours the other way round and had the Cross Potent on a field metal( sometime I even research the shite I put up on here), instead of the non regulation field orange, not even sure that that is even a Heradlric colour, but stuff 'um.

So the third photo is going to be my 2nd Company Captain, he's armed with a Plasma Pistol, Relic Blade, and Auxillary Grenade Launcher. I've also decied to change his legs and give him some Knight/Chaos Warrior Fantasy legs that I have knocking around and call it... the name escapes me right now, it's the one with the 2+ save. It's not mater crafted. So the plasma pistol is mounted on the Paldron this time out, this is another Chaos Lord Conversion piece that didn't see the light of day and has been laing in the bits box for a while

now, the Grenade Launcher is a Fantasy Flintlock pistol glued onto the wrist stump of the left arm. The Relic Blade and arm are both from a Fantasy Orc, I'll be painting it up like a cybernetic implant. The blade itself is the spear shaft with the stone head cut off, I filed the shaft out between the bolt plates on the spear and filed down the ogre sword to fit between the pronges and then glued it into place. The last 2 photos ate showing the Heradlry, the first is the Cross Potent which will feature on all the Squads, I might turn it side ways for the Assault Squads (if/when

I pad these guys that much,) the bottom photo is of the Cross of Jerusalem which will feature on the Officers. If someone wants to help me a give a name suggestion I'll be very happy, just something Germanic sounding I think owing to the Cross Potent being a Tutonic Knightly Order Symbol.

Codex Allies

So after some nights spent in the office reading instead of sleeping at wotk I've come to the conclusion that I'm should do some Codex Marine Allies, as well as the other stuff I'm doing, (the 5th Compnay Space Wplves, the 8th Company as Blood Angels, the Corsair Eldar). So I spent some time digging through some old books, notably the Badad War Section in the old Compendium. I did some looking to see if I could get a good veiw of the Chapters on the poster that Forge Wrold released to go with part 2 of their Imperial Armour book on the Badad War, but couldn;t really find anything so I tried a basic online search and found this guy, now I know he is actually a Techmarine for the Fire Angels, but hell with that I'm painting one guy with these colours to see how they go with my chapter.
