Lazy Night

Took it easy tonight, just sprayed the weapon options for the Mk1 pred black and then primed the Renault tank, before I hacked off the lug under the turret and fitted a magnet in the recess and 1 under the turret.
Just waiting on some thicker 5mm magnets to fit the tracks onto the sides.



Plan A is find some Imperial iconography to fit to the tank as well.

Big Guns

Last night I played around with the Mk1 turret and the spare guns I dug out, there is a Plasma Cannon, and a Heavy Conversion Beamer for one lot of options.


And a multi melta that I've got some work to do on, I'll add a couple of melta as the option for this is a magma melta and flame storm cannon.


And last of the options the orginal auto cannon and the twin linked las cannons.

Options

The Mk1 Predator I've ran throw the chop shop just had it's options expanded, currently it has twin linked las cannons and autocannon, but I have a spare Contemptor plasma cannon knocking about at home that I can attempt to fit to the this turret, I'm just wondering what other weapon options the Deimos pattern Predator can take so I can see if I can get the full range of guns. . .

Predators For The Knights of Blood

I got the 2 Predators out the other day and started painting up the twin linked las cannon one as I was moving that one over to the Knights of Blood from The Lion's Blades.

I gave some panels and the turret a base of Wazdakka red.


Then went over that with a dry brush of Evil Sunz Scarlet.


I was trying to find a mythical animal that breathed fire and could only really think of dragons, so a little research and I decided to go with a blue dragon for the las cannon pred as that breathes lightning, and a bronze dragon for the Baal Predator as that breathes fire, for the autocannon version I think I'll go with either green or black as it will stand out from the red.

I also researched the various cavalry roles, if I get any more Baal Predators they will go with a Destrier title, any more las cannons will be lancers and autocannons will be hussars. The Codex anti air tanks, if I get them, will be Dragoons.
So the twin linked las cannon Predator is currently called Angel's Lance and the Baal Predator is now Blazing Destrier.

DEVASTATING DEREDEO’S

If you were at the Warhammer 40,000 Open Days, you might have seen a new weapons system coming soon for the Deredeo pattern Dreadnought. Already blessed with some pretty powerful guns, this new Lascannon battery adds some vehicle-obliterating firepower to the Deredo’s armoury, take a look…



You may have seen on the Forge World Facebook page that the Warhammer Community is coming soon. There’ll be more on this later this week, but you’ll soon have a new destination for all of your Forge World news!

Come back later this week for more news!

Warming Up

When I'd dug out the Dreadnought Army, I found the standard on the Herald had broken just above hand and it's engine pack had broken off, so I firstly glued the engine pack back on and then glued one of the 5mmx1mm magnets to the top of the Dread and a 2x1 on the banner pole and reattached one of the shin guards as well that had come off.

Monthly Vow, 12th Of November To The 12th Of December

I took a few days off from the hobby this month after I decided to bump the tanks to next month, I am also waiting for bits to finish off a the Optimus Class Librarian Dreadnought (a Contemptor power fist), and a Heresy inducing Ravenwing dread (BaC Kheres assault cannon and a Bolt Action WWI Renault tank), will get to the bank tomorrow and see about ordering the tank, even though pay day is actually on Monday... Just waiting for a mate of mine who was down at Warhammer World over the weekend to get those bits over to me.
Plan A; Optimus Class Librarian Dreadnought, Ravenwing tracked dread, Mk1 Predator, Vindicator and Whirlwind for The Lion's Blades and a Mk2 Predator for The Knights of Blood, need to do a good job on the Mk1 as I've already earned 6 points on my Oldhammer licence for cutting the autocannon off and magnetiseing it so I can swop out the autocannon and twin-linked lascannon.
Review time;
Well bumped the tanks and I'm waiting for some bits to finish off the Dread, but I did get all the Marines that I planned to do, done.



I started off with the Vanguard Veterans Squad, I later did the squad markings again to match the other assault squads and re based them as well on 32 mm bases.


I finally found the head I was looking for for my counts as Azrael and a spare missile launcher marine for The Lion's Blades.







I did a little bit on these 3 tanks, the Vindicator got the dozer blade magnetised, the Whirlwind got sprayed black and the Predator earned me those 6 points.


The 10 bolter marines for the Devastater Squads.



The 2 Assault squads along with the favourite marine in this army.

And the Optimus Class Librarian Dreadnought.
