Originally this was just going to be my take on magnetizing a predator. After I saw how cool the forward mounted turret on Redscorps predator looked I figured I had to do a version of that too. All of this was pretty easy, the magnets really easy. Actually the only problem was when I discovered I'd got the polarity wrong on one and the superglue was doing a phenomenal job. Anyway, the full story is below the fold.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll use a few here. Of course a picture is a far larger file than a thousand words, so in a digital world maybe we should no longer be using that comparison.<br />
<br />
as you'll see from the gory details of these I still have cleanup work to do, but they should get across just how easy this is. First was the doors so we could swap out the sponsons. The only trick here was gluing a bit of sprue to the back of the non-sponson doors so the magnets get close enough. Very easy and could also use a washer glued to the door if you want to save some magnets. For the weapons themselves just ditch the little swivel pole thing, glue a magnet to where the weapon would hang, another to the top of the weapon, and you are done. Once its painter nobody will really know. It doesn't get much simpler than that. <br />
<br />

<br />
Of course I wanted to be able to swap out the turret weapons too. Again it was nice and easy with just some minor trimming and spacing. Another bit of sprue across the inside of the turret supports one magnet. Then remove the center curvy bit from the weapons and put your second magnet there. With 1/16th magnets it lines up perfectly. And that's all there is to it. If you've never tried magnets before, this kit would be a great place to start. It was all easy to do, and lets you see the possibilities (and cost savings/list choices) that these will offer you. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lastly, like I mentioned, I wanted to pull the turret forward on this rather than just using the standard razorback on steroids look. I kept the standard mounting plate but moved it forward an inch. There were a few steps to this process. <br />
First was filling in the whole left by this, I didn't want to use the Rhino hatch doors, would have looked lame. I used the insert as a template and cut a piece of plasticard to fit. The details was just some random bits box stuff to give it some interest. <br />
Second was using some thick plasticard to give the turret an even base. This needed a rectangle that sits behind the raised area where the view/bolter hatches used to be.<br />
Third was another thin bit of card to cover the hatches and even the whole thing up. The turret mount was then glued to that, having taken the time to smooth out the underside of it.<br />

So there you have it, one evenings work. Would have been quick too if not for an issue with beer and magnetic polarity. I'll clean everything up and then get it primed. Follow up once it is finished.<br />

Information about the new updates are starting to show up everywhere, but in case you have missed them, we have...<br />
<br />
A price list with release dates - <a href="http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/06/breaking-6th-edition-prices-and-items.html" target="_blank">They want how much?</a><br />
Scans from the next White Dwarf - <a href="http://imgur.com/a/Fbh2R" target="_blank">My Precious</a><br />
And of course lots of comments on rumors - <a href="http://www.3plusplus.net/2012/06/comments-on-6th-edition-rumors-before.html" target="_blank">That's what she said</a> <br />
<br />
Most importantly, the base rules are $75 and come out on the 30th. First posts of people rage-quitting 40K are expected around 12:15 UTC<br />
<br />
I wonder what new models the new edition will bring for us to bastardize into some far improved deviant of G dubs original intent?<br />

<br />
Our hobby tends to be full of very creative people with mad skillz and talents. Every week I run across several things that are cool, interesting, unique, or awesome. Here is one such post.<br />
<br />
This week I wanted to shout out Ron over at <a href="http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/">From the Warp</a><br />

From the Warp is a site with a huge following and much like this site has it's roots in the hobby side of the game more than the roll dice and make people cry side. This post jumped out at me as Ron puts together a nice article on converting up combi weapons for Terminators inspired by the Forgeworld kit. Not exactly duplication but a very good how to article on process is always helpful in the hobby community. Not to mention with 6th edition coming terminators should be getting a bit of a boost, so you may be fielding them a bit more often. Great work Ron! <a href="http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-make-terminator-combi-weapons.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FromTheWarp+%28%2B%2B+From+the+Warp+%2B%2B%29">How to make terminator combi-weapons</a><br />

As a follow up to the excellent work from Redscorps I wanted to post my more basic conversion. My big issue with the Storm Talon was the off balance weapons hanging off the front. As a fix for that I went for a more Apache like look with weapon pods on the side. <br />
<br />
I left the rest alone, I'm kind of entertained by the tiny, stubby hull that is the Storm Talon. It looks like a heavily armored bee. The weapon pods are just rectangles of thick plasticard. I had a lot of left over missiles from various IG tanks so I built those up on a launch frame. I was originally going to hang the missiles underneath, but that would have made the weapon pods a little too long. Instead I went with the missiles on top and the TLAC (a smaller set from the Dark Angel sprues) underneath. It does put the missiles a little closer to the engines than I'd like, but It'll do for now. To patch up the front I just used a saw to give me a flat surface and a couple more bits of plasticard and some green stuff dealt with the rest. I still need to clean the greenstuff up a bit, but otherwise this is now ready to paint.<br />

<br />
Finished my take on the Storm Talon this morning, the wings showed yesterday but I didn't get a chance to get to it. They are two Storm Raven tails with the fuselage section removed and have been mounted in the same position as was intended for the wings.<br />
<br />

<br />
If I had the tools I would probably be chamfering the leading edges but I don't and I am happy enough with this to let it slide without feeling guilty, I still think it's a vast improvement on what we were issued with anyway.<br />

I am calling it a Mars-Pattern as the design is quite different as is the configuraton of the weaponary. This would be more of a 'flyer' than the helicopter that GW intended it to be, climbing and diving, strafing ground targets and being a general menace. The main engines/wings will still go up and down but only for take-off and landing so the position of the Assault Cannons is perfect. 'Hover Strike' will be coming from the thrusters on the underbelly. Game wise though I am still going to use the WD issue rules.<br />

I got a bit lazy on the tutorial side of things this time as I was distracted by other stuff this week (Tartatros Terminators showed up, 25 of the sexy beasts!) but if you have any specific questions about the project drop me a line in the comments and I will answer there.<br />
<br />
Hope you have enjoyed my take on the model and until next time,<br />

In addition to the horde of infantry created for this army, I also painted numerous vehicles and dreadnoughts. I believe there were three Forgeworld speeders, two Baal Predators, six dreadnoughts, and five dreadnought drop pods. Oh yeah, and a Stormraven! Those will all be finding their way to the blog. :-)<br />
This is a bit of a taste of things to come on the blog...<br />

<br />
Our hobby tends to be full of very creative people with mad skillz and talents. Every week I run across several things that are cool, interesting, unique, or awesome. Here is one such post.<br />
<br />
This week I wanted to shout out Mr Pink over at <a href="http://natfka.blogspot.com/">Faeit 212</a><br />

Faeit 212 is pretty well known for its news, and constant updates. Natfka runs a tight ship over there and is a stand up guy if you have never chatted with him online. Mr. Pink is a guest author and has been doing a series on sculpting and working with green stuff. He is on his third post. The post talks a bit about several methods to get a desired result and overall is a great read if you haven't seen it yet. Not to mention if it really strikes your fancy you should also go back and take a look at the other two posts. Fantastic work Mr. Pink. <a href="http://natfka.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-sculpt-3-sculpting-skills.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Faeit212+%28Faeit+212%29">How to Sculpt 3: Sculpting Skills</a><br />

<br />
I just took a few quick photos with the base coat down on the hull, I think it lets you see what I did a little better. Thats it for now, I will have the wings this week I hope so I can finish it off.<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the comments on the previous WIP post, I'm glad I've managed to get people looking at the potential of the kit and not just the drawbacks of the original design. Everything I did was relatively easy save for working with the funny angles in the 'chin' of the aircraft, even then it was just patience with my cuts of the plasticard and taking it slow.<br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

P.s. The main engines will only go up and down during take-off similar to the V-22 Osprey, the rest of the time it will operate as a fixed wing aircraft, climbing and diving to strafe with the assault cannons and launch missiles at the xenos/heretics.<br />

<br />
I'm going to write a bit more about it once the new wings arrive (2x StormRaven Tails), for now though note the shaved and extended tail (I wanted to use the original but it didn't get removed well), the lack of a bulky and unattractive front end through the use of a StormRaven Typhoon Missile Launcher mounted on the chin in place of the AC's turret, (cut narrower with a plasticard housing), The StormRaven Assault Cannons mounted on the engines (spaced out with the HB ammo clip from this kit, shaved down and glued on).<br />
<br />
I used the previously tail mounted landing gear in the rear, made a plasticard housing as though it extends from the fuselage. Widened the front landing gears stance by mounting them on the previous weapon mount positions. <br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />

People really love the frequently cheesy (cough, Draigo wing,
cough) but always fun army that the Grey Knights are.
Well fun unless you are playing against them and have an issue with the
Psychobroke grenades that are pretty much standard issue for inquisitors (they
come in a gift box also including Rad grenades). I too play Grey Knights, I just ended up
getting into them before the codex rumors hit and thanks to the Black Library.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a used book store near where I work that had (until
I bought most of them) a great selection of cheap Black Library stuff. Grey Knights was one of the first I read, with
its descriptions of them as regular marines that have taken an extra dose of
bad ass and awesome. And they were cheap
on ebay as their codex stunk up the room.
This made them a must have so I started collecting and painting. Oh yeah and painting them grey, not metallic
spray primer. The fact that then new
codex rumors surfaced just made me even happier particularly when it was
released and made them into tiny gods.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
That is just a decision to play a specific chapter. What we can get from reading is also great
images of specific characters and events.
Specific characters may give us inspiration for model conversions. A sudden desire to make a model armed and
posed just how you imagine Pedro Kantor as he fights the warboss on Rynn’s
World, or Kor’Sarro Khan on his bike, mowing down some Alpha Legion marines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The events and worlds described can give us great ideas for
how to build a whole theme for an army.
If you are looking at Necron’s then reading something like Fall of
Damnos can give great insight into how they act and feel. Maybe Tau are your thing? Savage Scars had some great coverage of them
even if they were often getting their butts kicked. Either way, if you think there is an army you
want to play, go to Black Library and find a book about them. Not only will you have ideas for a great
looking army, knowing the fluff is what makes this the most fun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Based on all that, here is a quick and dirty review of some
of the books I’ve read and what you can expect from them as a source of inspiration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Helsreach</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If Black Templars, IG
or Orks are your thing then here is a book for you. Personally I found it turned me against the
Templars some and they are the central characters. Yeah they are good in a fight, but boy are
they a bunch of self-righteous dicks.
The Salamanders show up too, and are much friendlier, and of course vast
hoards of guardsmen also die. The book
does a great job of describing the setting and has plenty of flavor for Templar
and IG fans. The Orks were a bit distant
and generic though.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nightbringer</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first of the Ultramarines series, featuring a fight with
Dark Eldar on a rebelling world that is trying to jump start some Necrons.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Interestingly the Necrons are not noted as such, instead
being described as ancient robot aliens.
The book is set after the defense of Macragge from the Tyranids. I didn’t realize it took so long for the
Necron to become players in the grimdark 40k universe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The book takes a little while to get going but hits a decent
pace once it does. I’m getting a little
tired of the description of the awesome power, history, and majesty of a Space
Marine strike cruiser before said cruiser gets its butt almost blown to
oblivion. I’m surprised those space
ships last more than a couple of weeks.
Old book though, so it was probably a new idea when this was
written. The Ultramarines are decent in
the story, having a good feel as the most Adeptus Astartes of the Adeptus
Astartes. The Dark Eldar though are a
little off. Yeah we get the idea that
they are a bunch of psychotic freaks. My
question is though, how do psychotic freaks form a functioning society that
doesn’t die out in a single generation?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Savage Scars</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the Space Marine series, primarily featuring the
White Scars but with many other chapters having cameos. It covers one of the first engagements with
the Tau and is set before the defense of Macragge from an unknown, new
insectoid race.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really enjoyed this book, one of my favorites so far. There were a decent range of characters and
some enjoyable personalities. The action
and tension was decent, and discovering the Tau was fun. Just imagine you were up against Tau but had
never read the codex. One thing that I
did pull from this book in a big way is Chapters working together. Sure you couldn’t jump codex, but I really
want to add some extra marine squads of different chapters. There is fluff about which chapters get on
well and which don’t, but the idea of working on each squad in an army with a
different style and color scheme really jumps out at me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Grey Knights</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
OK, Grey Knights are awesome. If you want elite, unstoppable squads of
Marines killing hoards of deamons across fields strewn with blood and bones
then this is the book for you. I did
have a few, minor plot related issues that I can’t really talk about without
dropping spoilers. This book is why my Grey Knights are all on

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Death Wing and
Victories of the Space Marines </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both are good anthologies with a reasonable range of
stories. There are a few very notable
ones and some that quickly drop from memory, but are worth the time. The best from Death Wing were the first and
last stories involving Dark Angels. The
first as it chronicles the events that lead to the Dark Angel terminators
wearing their armor white. The last as
it gives a glimpse of one of the arch enemies of the Dark Angels, The Fallen. For Victories, the stories that stuck were
the defeat of the Crimson Consuls, a story about some renegade marines fighting
for resources, and the last one about the infrastructure behind the grey
knights.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These anthologies are great as they manage to squeeze a
whole lot of character into short stories.
All kinds of flavor and all kinds of inspiration for individual models,
units, chapters or worlds. Similarly, it
also brings out the idea of building a force around a renegade marine
chapter. Some, like the Iron Snakes, may
simply be non-astartes compliant.
Others, like the Knights of Blood, may be loyalist but declared renegade
by the inquisition. Either way this open
up huge avenues for how you build, model and paint your armies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hopefully you can read some of these, any of the vast array
from Black Library really, and hopefully we’ll be seeing a bit less “Black
Reach Ultramarine on sand/glue base” and
a bit more “Holy crap, awesome army, what made you do it that way?” But no, Black-blood Wolf Angels isn’t a good
chapter name. </div>

<br />
Our hobby tends to be full of very creative people with mad skillz and talents. Every week I run across several things that are cool, interesting, unique, or awesome. Here is one such post.<br />
<br />
I wanted to shout out Pedro Kantor over at <a href="http://2ndcitywarzone.blogspot.com/">2nd City Warzone</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFiITnWTsvVL1ikDAuXig7A-UQmERNxSQ5B5SLD4xzkCbuWuvdzJFWUPyQp0U3Au4vUY_gUyMm8UFCdZk7bUXmL-fq98JrRaT1tJo4aUq-WdD0kJ_WKYP09CG20aiAupDmvEXGHYaYDgNf/s1600/5-30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFiITnWTsvVL1ikDAuXig7A-UQmERNxSQ5B5SLD4xzkCbuWuvdzJFWUPyQp0U3Au4vUY_gUyMm8UFCdZk7bUXmL-fq98JrRaT1tJo4aUq-WdD0kJ_WKYP09CG20aiAupDmvEXGHYaYDgNf/s400/5-30.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It looks like somehow by trading, stealing, begging, or perhaps other means we won't mentions here. Pedro ended up with three Adepticon limited edition models from this year. (totally Jealous) He has converted them up to use as sentinals I believe and even has magnetic weapons for them. Very cool stuff. For a little more info check out the post here. <a href="http://2ndcitywarzone.blogspot.com/2012/05/adepticon-constructs-part-ii-plus.html">Adepticon Contructs pt II</a><br />

<i>Have a great blog post you want considered for highlight or see something amazing you want to nominate. Feel free to drop me a email Drkmorals AT gmail.com and point me in the right direction for consideration</i>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681502880276961103.post-19332523294388544342012-05-23T09:00:00.002-05:002012-05-23T09:05:11.955-05:00[REDDDDDSCORPSSSSS!!!!!!] The Storm Talon, uhh, really?I had secretly hoped that the BoW guys were just terrible at drawing the new Space Marine Flyer, I was close, but as demonstrated by the cheeky preview photo below from BoK earlier today it seems that the culprits were in fact the designers in charge of the latest creation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bloodofkittens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Stormtalon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://bloodofkittens.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Stormtalon.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The proportions are a mess and the weapon systems on the front are really poorly positioned and make the model look cluttered. I think even the Stormravens weird little servitor turret was a better look than this weapon arrangement.<br />
<br />
Once again they have ignored all basic aerodynamic principals and mounted the tail rudder in the dead air behind the fuselage, one of my main gripes with the Stormraven actually and the reason I cut and mounted my tail section higher and further back.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jh04nyymCyM/T7zrFIsX9qI/AAAAAAAAAXk/JbqagNy11TY/s1600/7255566866_176077fe06_h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jh04nyymCyM/T7zrFIsX9qI/AAAAAAAAAXk/JbqagNy11TY/s400/7255566866_176077fe06_h.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Someone needs a kick in the butt, it's not likely to happen and would actually really be pointless at this stage in the game but it's a bit of a shocker that<i> this</i> design made it off the drawing board. I doubt we can rely on Forge World to bail us out this time (Stormraven -> Storm Eagle) but I already have a few ideas of how to fix it ...AND... I actually think it's great that we have a new addition to the Vanilla SM Codex line-up, even if it's mediocre I think it will have it's uses if only in friendly matches.<br />
<br />
So with that in mind, I have just ordered the bits from eBay I think I need to convert the model into something that looks at least a bit better and it won't take a whole lot of extra money to get the job done.<br />
<br />
My plan is to extend the wing area and maybe change the orientation of the engines a little, I am going to use the assault cannons from the Stormravens turret that I have left over from the piece you can see above and mount them underneath the new wing sections next to the engines. I'm going to cut the tail section apart, extend it as long again and mount the vertical stabiliser in the airstream and not behind the fuselage.<br />
<br />
I will document and photograph the process and with the parts ordered now, I'm hoping they will be here in time for the release weekend and I can get to it right away.<br />
<br />
So, never fear, MWC is here! We've got your back on this one and hopefully you will be inspired to attempt your own conversion on the model once you see what I'm up to. Plus going off my other stuff you know I'll be after a 'factory finish' so it's not going to be out of the SM style.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned.<br />

<br />
I thought I would showcase a conversion I did a little while back for the MWC conversions comp. As staff we couldn't really enter, Ron and I might have had some sort of a battle for a staff favourite but we never really got around to it so I thought I would just do a quick showcase here and give a short explanation of what went into it.<br />
<br />
The idea came to me because I have been building a few WWII 1/35th scale models plus playing a TONNE of World of Tanks lately and I love the silhouette of things like the T-34, Panther and the Tiger, iconic shapes for armoured fighting vehicles of WWII. I wanted to recreate the predatory look that they had, forward turrets, sloped armour (T-34/Panther) and long barreled main guns with a big beefy engine in the back.<br />
<br />
I was rummaging around in my bits box and found a few Land Raider engines which if mounted inline it actually almost fit into the rear hatch of the Rhino chassis perfectly, I only had to cut down the sides a little and it mounted flush. I then went and cut down a Predator hatch so the air vent section sat in front of the engine area (am imagining this to be the air intakes/filter), it's displayed in this pic as hatches but I changed my mind and flipped it. With all that space taken up I then moved the turret ring (cut from another Predator hatch) forward, cutting out the right shape from the drivers hatches, recessing and gluing it in place ready for greenstuffing around the edges:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTCZ9FfrpNw/T7CG5vv_E5I/AAAAAAAAAVc/iukbA4EnE28/s1600/6846479323_36b9cb5e07_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTCZ9FfrpNw/T7CG5vv_E5I/AAAAAAAAAVc/iukbA4EnE28/s400/6846479323_36b9cb5e07_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9EHHIOSfKvQ/T7CG7ZWB9WI/AAAAAAAAAVk/wkM8VUVkOXk/s1600/6846483145_0564938d36_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9EHHIOSfKvQ/T7CG7ZWB9WI/AAAAAAAAAVk/wkM8VUVkOXk/s400/6846483145_0564938d36_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I probably need to say at this point that I don't measure, plan or sketch anything, I just mock it up then start cutting so I can't give you exacts on how much you have to take off or anything, one side lost a bit more than the other but that's easy for you to figure out with a test fit. You're better of not cutting enough than cutting to much. <br />
<br />
So with the engine and turret positions sorted, the next bit I wanted to work on was getting the rear mounted exhausts (similar style to a Panther or Tiger tank) sorted, I cut them from the sides of the Rhino chassis (cutting in from the outside-in along the edge and shaving them flat underneath) and fitted them onto the back hatch. They actually needed to have a plasticard spacer mounted underneath them as they didn't sit flush, you will see the white plasticard under the exhausts in this pic coming up. Loved this bit, at this point I was really excited about the shape!<br />
<br />
I also got to work on the gun barrel. I went down to my LHS with the Autocannon barrel measurements (I lied, so I measured once!) and found an appropriately sized alloy tube. I then went about getting another two thicknesses of alloy tubing to sleeve over the top of the barrel to give it some visual interest and realism. I test fitted all of these parts in the store and was pretty happy with how it went together, the OD's and ID's matched up perfectly.<br />
<br />
While I was there I also looked at some turned 1/35th alloy barrels but I wasn't happy with using something that was $45 for this conversion and the DIY approach suited the conversion contest anyway. The new barrel was seated using an appropriately sized drill bit to bore out the hole from the old Autocannon barrel (6mm in my case), inserted and glued in place: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ubmTvyRL400/T7CIzth_CzI/AAAAAAAAAVs/-MC6eqKtx8o/s1600/6855851451_d8bec99235_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ubmTvyRL400/T7CIzth_CzI/AAAAAAAAAVs/-MC6eqKtx8o/s400/6855851451_d8bec99235_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I will follow that pic up with some other stuff I did, I made the perforated hatch to the engine bay from the remaining piece of Predator hatch, I cut the guts out and turned it into a frame backed up with some hobby gauge mesh from my LHS. I also GS'd the drivers hatches flush around the turret ring and the top was almost done at this stage save for detailing.<br />
<br />
Next on the drawing board was the front end. I wanted something that looked like AV13+, something that had a bit more slope/bulk and a drivers hatch. I was always intending to build this kit without sponsons or side hatches and the crew needed some way to get in. I cut the existing front plate up and combined it with some custom plasticard bits. I then made a plasticard lower glacis plate to meet the new slope and more forward armour. I made a custom drivers hatch and cut down the normal two window plate into a single window and shaved the back down so the angle looked right for the front plate.<br />
<br />
After this stage I filled the sides with GS and sanded it all flat, here is a pic of the front though:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kUCK7PeGlXA/T7CKwuXu4aI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Xp_FljwxrIw/s1600/6931594885_412c881c50_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kUCK7PeGlXA/T7CKwuXu4aI/AAAAAAAAAV0/Xp_FljwxrIw/s400/6931594885_412c881c50_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Onto the sides, a lack of hatches/sponsons and exhausts meant I could just add a flat plate over all of the holes I had cut, then add my detail onto the top of that, nice and simple but I had to match the sides up to eachother a few times to make sure the dimensions were the same.<br />
<br />
Side note: If I did this conversion over I would probably add a few stepped down plates to mix it up a bit underneath the stowage but I am still happy with what I have done here and only really thought about that once the model was completed and primed.<br />
<br />
I added all the stowage (tracks, fuel tanks, back packs, storage containers etc..) and recovery cables plus a few spare details from 1/35th kits to give it a bit more visual interest than a standard kit would allow, not really required but you can always benefit from doing that little bit extra. The recovery cables were made using the ends from the Space Marine kit but with bicycle brake cable wire and brass etch tie downs to give it some more realism. The track hangers were made from bits of brass etch with paper clip pins through the tracks:<br />
<br />
I could have probably gone further with the baskets for the jerry cans, making some brass ones, but I wanted to keep the conversion as simple as possible so if people were to attempt it they would be able to use what they had in their Predator Kit, plus plasticard and some alloy tubing.<br />
<br />
You can see the sanded down front with some more detail added in this pic also:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_IpehxxYpss/T7CRGE3LBnI/AAAAAAAAAWA/ge1EW8s79EM/s1600/6788939368_331a8dd5c2_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_IpehxxYpss/T7CRGE3LBnI/AAAAAAAAAWA/ge1EW8s79EM/s400/6788939368_331a8dd5c2_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vr9IOUBXFwE/T7CWSt6WGzI/AAAAAAAAAWM/yFLkYELkl2k/s1600/6935050361_6c52c8d53f_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vr9IOUBXFwE/T7CWSt6WGzI/AAAAAAAAAWM/yFLkYELkl2k/s400/6935050361_6c52c8d53f_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So that was pretty much it for the conversion! Add your chapters logos, salt to taste and you're ready to paint! One thing I forgot to photograph before paint was the addition of handles, I added handles to the cupola, front hatch and tool box, you can see them below. <br />
<br />
Here are a couple of WIP pics of the paint work so far, I have painted the engine first as I wanted to see how it looked through the mesh and have just started the block in the yellow prior to the rest of the normal paint work and my usual dirty/damaged/dusty look that most of you know. I went pretty bold on the highlighting and detail of the engine so it shows up a little better through the black mesh, normally I would have spent a bit more time making it subtle but in this case it would detract from the look.<br />
<br />

Thanks very much for reading if you made it this far. Get brave and start cutting some stuff up, if you have any questions about this or there is something I have not covered please feel free to get in touch with me via the comments section on either of my two blogs.<br />

P.s. Total conversion time would have been under 6 hours including the build, not a huge job.<br />

Greetings, one and all. It's your humble servant Zero with a lot of photos and a bit of rambling concerning Adepticon. I know it's a bit late to be talking about it, but by now you've read the dozens of battle reports, watched the various on the scene video clips, and listened to the podcasts. You may have even checked out the finals via the excellent quality stream. All of these things are great, but they don't really give the flavor of being there, I think.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />

So instead of another battle report or scene video, I'd like to just make a few observations. This was my third Adepticon in a row, so I feel like I have a good perspective on the convention's changes, qualities and problems. I will intersperse those observations with photos of various armies. Very early on, I realized that the main room was going to be WAY too crowded for me to shoot every display board, so I just started shooting what I could.<br />

Holy crap, were there a lot of people! I haven't looked up the numbers, but I swear there were 50% more people than the year before. It definitely <i>felt</i> that way. The main ballroom (pictured at the top), where they play all the 40k tourneys was devoid of anything but the vendor area and 40k tables. There was no room for <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/94028-Adepticon%202010%2C%20City%2C%20Defense%20Laser%2C%20Fortress%2C%20Pegasus%2C%20Terrain.html" target="_blank">massive display pieces</a>, and even the Crystal Brush display cases were relegated to the lobby area.<br />

Other configuration changes and expansions were evident. Privateer Press had its own room again, and WFB took up a major portion of the second ballroom again this year. FoW seems to have decreased its footprint this year, but maybe I missed the room that they were in. At any rate, I don't think that incredibly huge D-Day display was there this year.<br />
<br />
Kill Zone ended up in a hallway (they had awesome card decks for sale), but there were in the company of many other game demos and overflow from the other rooms. Another thing I didn't see until this year: storefronts in the hallways. FFG was out next to the registration tables in the lobby, and there were 2 or three small vendors out in the hallway.<br />

In retrospect, everything just seemed...full. The hotel was at capacity, both room-wise and in terms of area occupancy. That humid angst-ridden vibe that usually was only in the Youngbloods room was evident everywhere.<br />

All the regular vendors were there: Gale Force 9, Forgeworld, Blue Table Painting, CMoN, Army Transport, and a bunch of smaller stores. It was MUCH harder to navigate the booths this time around. In fact, it was so crowded for most of the weekend that I ended up with money left over. On GW stuff, most vendors were selling at 20% off with no tax, which is nothing to sneeze at. Unfortunately, the Forgeworld and Black Library tables used the local Battle Bunker credit card machines, and they charged tax. It would have been nice of them to actually MENTION this...<br />

At any rate, despite ending the weekend without draining my wallet completely, I did end up with a bunch of cool stuff (you can see the haul at my <a href="http://hivezero.blogspot.com/2012/04/this-is-not-post-adepticon-report.html" target="_blank">personal blog</a>). One thing to consider for next year: the lines were HUGE for Forgeworld due to people picking up preorders. That pickup procedure really needs to occur in a separate area of the hotel, in my opinion.<br />

If you ask me what my favorite part of Adepticon is, I would say the people. Not ALL of the people, mind you, but the general vibe is that of positivity (mixed with, of course, posturing and rules-lawyering).<br />
<br />
I got to throw a quick hello to Goatboy and Brent, and I met Keith from Alaska, who was in the Forgeworld line with me and plays "mech" Dark Eldar (I hope your trip across country went well). All in all, I had significant conversations with at least 40 people. I'm fairly isolated from 40k during the rest of the year, so I'm always looking forward to immersing myself.<br />
<br />

And immersion is the name of the game. The most amazing thing to me regarding the people who show up for Adepticon is the humble company rep. Over the years, I've been able to observe the same people give hundreds of game demos without ever flagging in enthusiasm or patience, often for little or no pay. Hats off to you, ladies and gentlemen; I could not do that job.<br />
<br />
And speaking of people, I saw at least 5 people cheating. Not of it was as egregious as the adult who was premeasuring in a sneaky way against a 12 year old a few years ago, but it always bums me out, especially when there really isn't much net monetary gain.<br />
<br />
And then there was the Army Transport debacle. I am mixed on this one. Let me try to simplify what happened.<br />
<br />
1. Thursday evening. The first x number of registrants gets an Army Transport bag.<br />
2. Because of this, the line was tremendous.<br />
3. To speed up registration, they SPLIT the line by alphabet.<br />
4. One line starts to move faster than the other.<br />
5. <strike>Everyone understands and is just happy to be there.</strike><br />
<br />
While I certainly see what was wrong with this scenario, I just wanted to say, "Come on guys, you are grumbling over something that's less than $100.00. AND you're going to have to fill it with foam...cha ching...<br />

Wish List</h2>
</div>
<div>
I wish the organizers luck in finding a way to stay in this venue. Their very success is their biggest headache, I'd imagine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wish the Forgeworld preorder pickup was separated from the FW retail area.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wish the organizers could work out a way to get more boutique manufacturers to attend and have space at the show. One of my favorite acquisitions was from a tiny company that makes laser cut terrain and markers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wish I could have seen or recognized more of you. I put a note on my blog about a small reward for introducing yourself to me, but only one guy took me up on it, and he got a beer and the Space Hulk card game for his troubles.<br /><br />

<br />
Sorry for the delay in getting the announcement out. Not like you couldn't see by looking at the voting but the confirmation is...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
1st place to <b>Mark Hoffman</b> and his properly proportioned Stormraven. Compensation that Forgeworld and ChapterHouse both had the same idea come in the form of a $100 Gift Certificate to <a href="http://www.kabukimodels.com/">Kabuki Models</a>, a 1 Model voucher to <a href="http://www.hitechminiatures.com/">Hitech Miniatures</a> and a $25 Gift Certificate to <a href="http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/">Secret Weapon Miniatures.</a> This conversion showed everything a quality bit of work should, great attention to details, a cohesive overall style, and a re imagining that is still easily recognizable. The crap ton of magnets that means you can easily transport it does help too.<br />
<br />2nd place goes to <b>David Alcón Kombo</b> and his Khorne spider scorpion thing. Yeah, I don't do chaos. Again nice work, well put together with lots of details without anything being superfluous. This work will be getting him a $25 Gift Certificate to a FLGS, a 1 Model voucher to <a href="http://www.hitechminiatures.com/">Hitech Miniatures<i> </i></a> and<b> </b>a $25 Gift Certificate to <a href="http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/">Secret Weapon Miniatures.</a> This thing will probably show up in some people's dreams.<br />
<br />3rd place goes to <b>Alexandre Dumillard</b> with one of several chaos dreadnoughts we received. A fine bit of work that wins him $15 Gift Certificate to <a href="http://voodooworx.co.uk/">VoodooWorx</a> and a 1 Model voucher to <a href="http://www.hitechminiatures.com/">Hitech Miniatures</a> You can see the amount of time that must have been put into this model just be the huge array of details added.<br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>And Lastly...</i><br />
Of course there is another prize, the staff pick. And this would be the one selection that is a surprise. Our staff choice goes to <b>Kyle Kelly</b>. Another of the dreadnought submissions with some humble beginnings. Anytime something starts based on AoBR stuff it is going to need a lot of work, that set is kind of the blank palette of 40K conversions. The result here has a lot of character, with the crushed dread sarcophagus being a good finishing touch. Kyle gets himself a $25 Gift Certificate to <a href="http://wargamesfactory.com/">Wargames Factory.</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>So to wrap up this one, the winners can be expecting emails shortly so we can sort out distributing the prizes. </span></span>We had a really great run of entries this time. A few of my other personal favorites were Scott's looted wagon for hitting exactly what I imagine boom gun to look like. Igor for re-purposing a very common model s<span style="font-size: small;">o well it was barely recognizable. William for giving me ideas on a conversion I've been meaning to do. And, <span>Pär for showing that all GK rifle dreads don't have to look the same. We were all impressed with the quality and range of entries.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>We are already working on a new batch of prizes so we can run another comp again soon. If you have an undying need to try and win stuff now though, I want to put the word out to a couple of Podcasts that did the same for us on this competition. The excellent folks over at<a href="http://screamingheretic.com/" target="_blank"> Screaming Heretic</a> have four competitions running at the moment which can net cases, bitz and even GenCon tickets. The podcast is well worth your time, covers a range of games and regularly embarrasses me by making me laugh at work. Secondly, the insurmountable <a href="http://www.theoverlords.co.uk/" target="_blank">Overlords</a> have a couple of competitions running, but are also rapidly approaching their 100th episode and keep hinting at special things afoot. Probably new jingles. It's a fluffy 40K podcast that is always in my rotation.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Lastly, a big thank you again to all our sponsors for the generous prizes, thank you to everyone who took the time to enter, and to the various sites, podcasts and stores that gave us a shout out. Keep tuned to this station for our next competition.</span></span><br />

Long weekend, not much sleep!<br />
<br />
Normally, I do lots of hobby seminars, the painting contest, and stay up in the hotel room painting all sorts of other projects. I have not seen anything at Adepticon since 2007, so I figured I would try out some tournaments! I did the WFB Championships in 2010, so I had some idea of what I was in for :-)<br />
<br />
My original 40k army was Dark Eldar, but the last 8 months had one disaster after another, claiming weeks, if not months, of painting time. Plus, the army is so elaborate, I would have had to repaint everything had I rushed it into service! So, I switched to Grey Knights, since I had a good chunk of it already finished.<br />
<br />
I had to create some new minis, namely psykers, Death Cult Assassins, and other retinue figures. I also had to make an army board a day before!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Wappellious/demonhunters/2012%20army%20board/?action=view&current=2012armyboardfinal.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Wappellious/demonhunters/2012%20army%20board/2012armyboardfinal.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Here are a few of the specially made figures, such as this Coteaz...<br />
<br />

<br />
I needed an Inquisitor in terminators armor with a psycannon!<br />
<br />

Here are my three objective markers:<br />

<br />
Over the next week or so, I will be posting numerous threads to the Blog at wappellious.blogspot.com of all the custom made figures that went into the army. You can also see the thread about the tournament itself and the making of the army board on the blog as well.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the tournament, I did manage to win Best Appearance! I was very happy, since there were 246 armies there as competition! I tied for Player's Choice as well. I thought there was a good chance I cull pull it off, since my terminator squad won Gold for Squad at Games Day last year (that is in the White Dwarf this month, ironically!).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Wappellious/Adepticon/40k%20tourney/?action=view&current=Oliver3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Wappellious/Adepticon/40k%20tourney/Oliver3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The prizes were really great for all the tournaments... you can see that Oliver, the Inquisitorial War Monkey has claimed the 40k stuff for himself:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Wappellious/Adepticon/40k%20tourney/?action=view&current=Oliver1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/Wappellious/Adepticon/40k%20tourney/Oliver1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
After playing in a lot of WFB tournaments over the years, the 40k tournament seemed far more relaxed. Warhammer already has a lot of obscure rules (and even an extra phase to each turn), but the newest edition has created even more chaos in interpreting the rules. So many complicated and contradictory situations arise, I got the feeling that I played seven WFB games under completely different rules systems. Other players expressed that same thought. It's just the nature of the beast. I hope that 6th edition 40k does not get too crazy.<br />
<br />
I will post about the other tournaments in the coming days! I managed to win Best Appearance in the WFB Championships, and nearly pulled off the same feat with the Civil War Dwarfs. Yes, you heard that right:-)<br />

The thing with trying to capture inspiration for a new 40k project is that one tends to "stay in the box" when searching for inspiration being that there is a MASSIVE amount of reference to 40k and other wargames online. Want to make a new chaos army? Just search Chaos armies and get the ball rolling. …But this gets stale so quickly…</div>

You've seen John Jude Palencar's work if you've ever been in the sci-fi section of a bookstore. You might not know it, but you saw it. When I was younger I loved his style of stark monochromatic lighting and mind bendingly surreal landscapes and characters and he was a heavy inspiration for my Art School years.</div>

This guys work is pretty damn impressive. He uses model kits from various companies mixed with found objects to make dark, 3-D Rococo styled art. However, my biggest grief with his work is… HE DOESN'T SAND THE DAMN SEAM LINES! Ugh, killed me when I saw it in person. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The chassis and legs are from a Robogear T-Rex model with extensive green-stuffing. The arms are from a WHFB River Trolls kit. The giant sword used to be a plastic utensil. There are also a few Chaos bits from various vehicle kits and a very old Chaos chainsword (the right hand knife). I got the side mounted weapons from the big Robogear game kit, but I don't remember which models they go to. The tentacles and hoses were made using a Green Stuff Industries Tentacle Maker. The battlecannon is just some 3/8" styrene tube.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">The inspiration for this model is due to a lack of cash. I frankly can't afford all the GW models I want, so I decided to buy the Robogear T-Rex for $10 and make my own Defiler. It is considerably smaller than a standard Defiler, but so far, my opponents have not had an issue playing against it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's made from a space marines land speeder storm, basically I removed the engines and added four wheels from space marines bikes. The spoilers from the original vehicle were used as protectors for the wheels and to give it a more cross-country look. The multilaser and the windshields are from plastic sentinels as the crew, which were converted with cadian arms and heads. To finish it I added some Imperial Guard tank bits here and there, and fill some gaps with Magic Sculp. Not a complex conversion I know, but effective I think. I hope you like it!.<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see, it's mostly a kitbash work with some minor modifications to the original model as in having it with just one front wheel pair (modded the original spring leaf suspension with easy cut and glue job).</div><br />
There are, besides the obvious Battlewagon bits, different 40K bits (such as ladder, headlights, smoke-launcher and old bulldozer) and bits from several other vehicle kits:<br />
<br />
- Trumpeteer's KV-1 tank bits, mostly as trackwheel rims and <br />
- Tamiya's SdKfz 223 kit bits, in cockpit interior detailing, extra headlights, bumper bar on back and anchor rock shelf<br />
- MRLS kit (can't remember the manufacturer) bits in cockpit interior (seats, levers, dashboard)<br />
- Jaguar kit (can't remember the manufacturer) front bumper that the horns have been attached to and the AC unit on the cannon tower<br />
- miniature chain from handicraft store: around frontbumper and from cannon tower to the "anchor stone" in the back<br />
- Forge World resin part in form of the "anchor stone"; the stone is the overflow resin piece that is left over from actual FW resin models.<br />
<br />
And as you can see from the pic 4, everything is still unglued so I can still build it up with different options if necessary. Also pic 4 show, at least somewhat in detail, what's there in the cockpit. Reinforced seat for the driver (and controls, of course, including hand brake... if it breaks, there's still the "anchor stone") and two seats for the crew. Also lockers for stuff, control gadgets for the bigger headlights and so on.<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><br />

</div><div id=":1as" style="text-align: center;"><div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div>A while back, I built a Ragnarok style Leman Russ. I followed the time honored tradition of starting with a Chimera hull, double-tracking it and adding a big square KV-2 style turret. I used a few side armor plates from the Baneblade as turret sides etc. It looked OK but fell a bit short of my expectations in terms of appearance. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I subsequently stripped and rebuilt the hull but left the turret largely the same, only adding some green-stuff 'welds'. Now the riveted Baneblade plates just looked out of place with the welds so I cut out the riveted plates, replaced them with plain plasticard and re-did the 'welds'. Much better. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I replaced all of the surface details on the top of the turret and added 2 Baneblade Periscopes. Also, at this time, I rebuilt the Mantlet, to give the tank a beefier feeling. The main gun is magnetized, as is the hull weapon and the two sponson turrets. Also, I can magnetically attach a widened dozer blade.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Since I planned to use this tank primarily as a Demolisher/Executioner, I wanted to give the sides a more heavily armored look than just Chimera sides, I decided to add armored skirts, using Dave Taylor's excellent Vostroyan style Ragnaroks for inspiration. The skirts are two layers of plasticard plus some plasticard 'C'-channel as framing.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Finally some details -- the steps on the side are made from C-channel cut to about the same length as the steps on the door of a Rhino. The 'Iron V' insignia for Vostroya are castings from a master I built using 'C' channel, plastic rod and the skull from winged-skull insignia from the vehicle accessory sprue. </div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The model is based on the assault on black reach dreadnought. I have converted it to be a Death Guard dreadnought. I added lots of greenstuff to the body. I drilled and cut holes and modelled living tissue coming out and added lots of tentacles and cables. The close combat weapon was modified to be more spikey with some sprue and greenstuff. The base is a sandbag emplacement to fit with a trench theme. The head and torso of the sarcophagus are from the Chaos Terminator Lord set. </div><div><br />

<br />
Details: Built for an Oriental Themed Space Marine army (some of whom are present in the seats as made evident via the converted shoulder pads and driver helmet). This land speeder was converted from a previously owned second hand vehicle. Prior damage such as excessive glue pooling, improperly aligned pieces, and even completely broken pieces like one of the rear wing, had to be corrected, which were either repaired completely. or covered with plasticard. most damage was evident in the front nose section, as visible in the side shot picture. <br />
<br />
The most heavy conversion work is in the "mouth", which was rigged with plasticard tubes and magnets to create a functional jaw that can open and close tightly and freely. A Typhoon missile launcher can be swapped in and out of the jaw between the two heavy bolters on the sides of the mouth.<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><br />

tyranides (for the claws and the growths), <br />
wh40k chaos vehicle set (guns, exhausts and trophies on the top), <br />
terminators of chaos(for the body), <br />
dreadnought ork pieces (the reservoir of the left arm and cable on the back),<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">A bit about the project:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A properly-scaled Stormraven was one of the things on my to-do list (and I'm too cheap to shell out for the Chapterhouse kit). I built out the hull with layers of plasticard, reinforced by "L"beams, until it ended up being ten inches long from stem to stern. The rear section is big enough to swallow a Dreadnaught.... well, sideways (or maybe if he pulls his shoulders in a bit? Either way that part of the hull is 2 1/2 inches tall, which is plenty) I was going to mod the entire rear section to flip down, Valkyrie-style (instead of just the troop hatch) but just sort of ran out of time. Anyway, there's also now a set of gaping side doors for a squad of assault marines to jump out of, instead of having to pile out of those tiny front doors under the cockpit. Instead of the stock hurricane bolters, I decided to use a pair of the manlier Land Raider Crusader versions. I also magnetized the mounts to adhere to magnets mounted on the insides of the forward side doors, so they sit flush against the hull. The chin turret mount (as oppose to that terrible dorsal mount; it's a ground-attack aircraft, after all) is entirely magnetized, so besides being removable, the assault cannons can also be swapped out for lascannons. The wings are also magnetized for easy removal and storage, as are the landing gear. The nose-mounted multi-melta isn't, because I felt the other weapon options suck and wouldn't ever use them, ever. Last, but not least, the gun servitor found a new home inside (see photo), plugged into the main computer so he can run everything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
------------------------------------------------------ <br />
<br />
My name is James Wappel, and I have been painting miniatures since 2001.<br />
<br />
My original training was in Illustration (watercolors and pastels as a primary medium) and computer graphics. For 11 years, I sold sci-fi and fantasy artwork at convention art shows, Ren Faires, and Celtic Fests. By 2001 I had considered painting Blood Bowl miniatures for the other coaches in my league during those times when there were no art shows. I had a lot of fun painting each team with various themes, even building stadiums for them to play in.<br />
<br />
This extra work became far more important in 2001 as the 2D art industry began to collapse rapidly, due to several factors. By 2002, I was branching out to more than just Blood Bowl minis. A hobby store near us sold Reaper and GW figures, so I tried those out, and enjoyed them.<br />
<br />
In 2003, I was introduced to sites such as Coolminiornot, which was a major shift for me. There were so many tutorials, so many incredible miniatures with elaborate basing, etc., and seeing them all in one place brought about a huge change in the way I approached my own miniatures. It was here that I heard about NMM (non-metallic metals) for the first time.<br />
<br />
Techniques such as NMM and SE-NMM were pretty natural for me, coming from an illustration background, where there are no such things as metallic paints! Also, using more of a watercolor mentality made a significant difference in both the appearance of my miniatures, and the time needed to paint them. Eventually I began to treat all of my miniatures as if they were 3D paintings, simply wrapping the image around the figure. This created more dramatic lighting and shading, and more realistic applications of colors and color temperatures.<br />
<br />
In 2006, I started going to the Chicago Battle Bunker, where I joined the Blood Bowl league. Within a year, I started to play 40k, with my first army as Demonhunters! Soon after in 2007 I was invited to teach miniature painting classes at Adepticon. It was an amazing experience, walking through the tournament rooms seeing dozens of wonderfully painted armies on fantastic army boards. It was an inspiration, and I have been an instructor at Adepticon ever since.<br />
<br />
I also participated in my first Games Day that year, winning a Gold (40k squad) , Silver (WFB regiment)and Bronze (vehicle/monster). I have been fortunate to win several more Demons, as well as numerous Rogue Demons at Adepticon, over the years.<br />
<br />
However, my favorite award of all time was the North American Armies on Parade trophy from last year! I used my much beloved Lizardman army, with all sorts of scratch sculpted and massively converted miniatures which sat on top of a Lizardman Pyramid (it is featured in the February White Dwarf). Perhaps it is due to my introduction to miniature painting through Blood Bowl teams, but I prefer painting whole armies such as the Lizardmen far more than isolated figures here and there. I guess if you are looking to define me, and what my mini painting is all about, it would be creating armies with unique appearances and themes! I try to balance these ideas of theme with army playability for tournaments, but it usually requires having less than optimal lists in order to make the theme come together. This also gives me the chance to scratch sculpt and convert things.<br />
<br />
I have been painting commission figures for the most part over the last 9 years. I have painted 3 Demonhunter armies, 2 Blood Angels, 2 World Eaters, an Imperial Fists, Ultramarine, and an Eldar army. Most of the Dark age figures you see on Coolminiornot were painted by me, as well as the vast majority of Gamezone figures.<br />
<br />
At this very moment, I am furiously preparing 3 armies for Adepticon... Grey Knights, Tomb Kings, and a Chaos Dwarf team army. Keep an eye on the blog as I begin to post the pictures in the lead up to the Con!! Once Adepticon is over, I have 2 LOTR armies to paint, as well as getting back into my Dark Eldar jetbike force. All of it will be tracked on the blog every step of the way.<br />
<br />
This set of images shows some of the figures which were included in my Golden Demon winning Grey Knight squad from last year. It was a nice bookend to the very first 40k squad I entered and won with four years earlier. :-)<br />

This Grand Master conversion was an interesting project, and a bit of a departure for me, if you look at most of the other Grey Knight conversions I have done.<br />

<br />
Also taking pictures of models in the glass cabinets under the horrible lighting is a pain in the fundamentals. As such a number of pictures aren't of the highest quality.<br />
<br />
Some information which I can remember includes Minotaurs v Necrons for IA 12, however the next Warhammer Forge book will be next (Orks & Gobbos v Dwarfs & Empire). No new titan for a year or two and no Horus Heresy book/series for some time at least - though they shall continue doing Heresy era armour and so on.<br />
<br />
<br />
Beginning with the Marines we have Mk. IV Assault Marines and Close Combat weapons for the new Terminators. There is scope for more Terminator variants int he future - however do not expect anything soon.<br />

There is a lot more terrain being planned. The first of this is some Cities of Death panels which people can add Cities of Death kits to. This is the first WIP panel.<br />
<br />

Also planned, but not in the immediate future are additional pieces for ZM, this includes 'scatter' terrain of which some was in the ZM board set up today - but the majority was scratch built, this may be used as masters for future pieces. Also planned will be Xenos themed panels, example given was a Necron pylon brought up for study, there won't be Xenos panels (such as Nid bio ships etc).<br />
<br />
For Warhammer I got pictures of three new pieces which are covered in the new Monstrous Arcanum book.<br />
<br />
First up some more Chaos Dwarfs (the picture doesn't do them justice)<br />

Yeah we said 30th. Guess we should look at a calendar or something and notice there are 31 days in March. Oops. Soz.<br />
<br />
The still means though you have about 27 hours to get your entries in. Plenty of time to glue that last bit of plasitcard on, watch as it falls off, swear loudly and throw the model against the wall. Good thing you were doing an Ork conversion, nobody will ever know. Just stop crying, it doesn't look good.<br />
<br />
We've had some great entries in the last few days and look forward to a few more on the last day. Midnight, Central time, tomorrow, Saturday March 31st (that's next week sometime in Australia according to Red's corps) and we are done. It'll take a few days to get the entries organized and then we'll get the voting under way. Been some good entries, it'll be a decent fight.<br />
<br />
See, even Forgeworld wanted in so they submitted their Storm Eagle. Unfortunately they only gave us a painted shot so no win for them. :) <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<br />
The facts:<br />
<br />
1. I'm not the most productive or dedicated MWC writer, but I talk a lot of BS on the FB group and figured a rev-up was a good idea.<br />
<br />
2. As Billy Shakes once said 'Do not be like the cat who wanted a fish but was afraid to get his paws wet.'. We have some fantastic prizes available for our competition (WHICH IS CLOSING IN A FEW DAYS), so good that I am actually considering resigning my position as a staff member so I can thrash you all with my hand crafted wickedness and win some of those vouchers.<br />
<br />
You won't win shit if you are afraid to get your paws wet.<br />
<br />
3. If you do win a prize, nerds of the opposite sex are at least 5% more likely to bed you at the next something-con. Not guaranteed.<br />
<br />
4. If you haven't started anything yet, you still have time. I only did my thing in a few days with no planning and kinda cutting/glueing as I went. You could even borrow this idea I had in a dream where I fastened weapons and plasticard armour to an actual budgie and make yourself a working stormraven! That has to be a winner, I mean your entry actually flies. <br /><br />Get to it, we already have some good stuff but we would love to see some more conversions if you think yours has got what it takes. Click the links on the blog for the details and make sure you get those entries in on time.<br />
