Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard = Ebay tank extravaganza

It is with great regret that it is time to sell the last remaining Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard tanks from my collection, see this Ebay link to my items, but my loss is your gain especially with the new rules for Deathstrike missile Launchers which certainly pack a punch.

"If turning a small number of hard targets into a fine mist doesn’t match your battle plan, there are two more warheads to pick from. One blankets a wide area in searing plasma, while the other creates a persistent bubble of gravitational pain. The best part? You get to choose which warhead to bring after you’ve seen your opponent’s army list".

Armies on Parade 2022 part 3 - Tyranids

This is the third installment / submission to Armies on Parade 2022, but I can take no credit for this one, this is all my 14 year old sons work and knocks the spots off my entries lol :)

My entries number 1 Imperial Knights and number 2 Chaos Knights

 

Armies on Parade 2022 part 2 - Chaos knights

My second installment / submission to Armies on Parade 2022.  Just like part one I am using limited scenery.  One thing has become apparent to me when looking at my Chaos Knights, considering they are all sculpted differently and belong to different chaos gods and also painted over many years, how differently they are all painted, I may have to go back and repaint some of them :)

I also forgot to include my Armigers.... Damn.

My latest chaos knight all hale Tzeentch

I made a change to my Black Legion Knight, I've used bits from Be'lakor base. 

 

Armies on Parade 2022 part 1 - Imperial knights

It has been a while, but here is my first installment / submission to Armies on Parade 2022.  Just to mention it is not my intention to win but only to take part and to show case two of my latest armies I have completed.  Also it is worth noting that the lighting is not great. camera is OK but my skill is mediocre at best :) but I did make a conscious decision to have limited scenery on my board, as the title states 'Armies on Parade' lol.  I hope you enjoy.

 

KYTAN DAEMON ENGINE OF KHORNE part2

 

Welcome back to my Kytan Daemon Engine of Khorne, it has been 6 years since last I spoke of him and he has gone through some changes.  Lets start with a quick recap- When the Lord of Skulls model was released from Games Workshop I rashly bought one, then I came to realise I didn't like the model.  So I decided to use it and create two Chaos Lord of Wars, first would be a FW Shadowsword and the second would be an Iron Man style construct.  And that's what I did.

Then in 2006 FW released the Kytan Daemon Engine of Khorne and I did a post on it (click here to see it) and explained that now I had seen it, it made complete sense to give it hind legs and I was angry with myself for not thinking of it first.  Anyway,  it had taken 6 years to get over myself and a complete rebuild and now it is finally complete. 

Because I was happy with the top half of the conversion I just had to do snap the top of my original version which was collecting dust.  I purchased some cheap Imperial Knight legs and the new Renegade Knight Feet on ebay, with a small amount of kit bashing I cut the legs apart and inserted a section to give them the hind legs look.  I rolled out tubing with green stuff using the Green stuff's Roll Maker 

I got the airbrush out and set to work

I decided to do it section by section as I was using the NMM technique 

Oh and I magnatised the legs section for ease of transport and in case I change my mind again regarding the legs ;)

And there we have it, I have to admit the conversion is better but I am still not 100% happy, but at least I have knocked it off my to do list :)  I just need to find a way to field it, may be Be'lakor would let me do it?

Please note I am 12 months behind on my blogs so this was actually made last year.  I have a lot to catch up on lol :)

Renegade knights Black Legion / Sons of Horus Conversion amendment.

Back in 2019 I converted an Imperial Knight into a Black Legion / Sons of Horus Renegade Knight it took me 18 months to revisit this build to create a close combat alternative and interchangeable weapon option, was the wait worth it?

My first renegade Knight conversion was my Khorne one with two daemonic sculpted claws and I wanted to revisit this still but extend the claws to a giant lightning claw style, where to start.  Luckily my son had started his Tyranid army and we had some spare giant scything talons and I also asked friends, Dwez and Otty if they could help, and they did.  You definitely need friends when it comes to conversions and never throw anything away ;) 

I added plasticard to the sided of the bladed talons to give it a mechanical look rather than an organic look and converted the Imperial edging with green stuff and plasticard.  I added 8 spikes cut from spru and a chaos shield, and some guitar strings and hey presto there you go.
