Warhammer GB 06 - 4/1/2006-1/7/2007

Well here’s my progress so far. Apologies for the poorly-lit pics… I need to pick up 2 of those lamps in the recent FSM. Keeping the paint scheme simple so I can get through all the unpainted minis laying around. I just like the liche purple! These two still need their clear coat:

…and here’s two more started:

Heck, I’ll join. Lemme just find something I can work on, not sure yet what i want to do. I’ll get back to you. Also, do models from inquisitor count?

oh they surely do. and they look even better than my inquisitors from the daemonhunters army…

Well, Just started on my monster. Its the Land Raider. Figured because there is so much time, I may go ahead and do an Eisenhorn figure also from Inquisitor. I’ll get pics once I have the interior painted.

Throw an armor boy a Imperium’s Best and he gives you this in 2 nights:

Try to spot the small changes.

Everything that can be drilled… is drilled through!!

Extra Armor. Relocated spot light, idea stolen from the golden daemon winner. He had a nicer forge world turret to work with.

The exhaust got trimmed due to my mis-calculation with the spare wheels. One of the tool box on the turret is left half open to be filled in with crap later.

I couldn’t let go of the external fuel tank like the manual had asked…

Next time I will widen up the depth of field a bit.

Got two more panel to fill with these ammo box tiedowns. The idea is from the russian T-55.

Arms are not glued/sanded down yet. The MG still needs a PE sight as well from some of my Tamiya scraps.

There are still some 40 percent more details to add but i will leave that to another weekend.

Very nice Ryan. I dont know what it is, but I just love the look of the Leman Russ.

Hey everyone, Mind if I get into this build I have a Rhino to build and also an assault squad for my Blood Angels Army.

Hey welcome to the forum. It’s only a small group of people here on warhammer stuff but anything is better than nothing. I will have you added to the list.

Also if you are looking for any 40k marine pieces, email me on that. I got a decent dark angels army that I am still debating whether or not to give up. They are mostly unpainted.

Heyas archangel,

I am pretty well stocked on miniatures for my army. I appreciate the offer though. The guys I use to game with dont play 40k much anymore, so they mostly sit on the shelves even though thats ok with me, I love the story behind 40k and the looks of the miniatures.

Got bored today and thought I’d sort out what I have and need for my dark angels deathwing army. One thing I desparately just as many others needed are assault guns, and lots and lots of them. Having a dreadnought weapon at Heavy 3 and fielding 2 per squad. That makes an insane shooty army. Anyways, I had some leftover wolf guard termi arms and decided to make some assault guns from scratch.

*Yea, I totally placed the gun upside down… The barrels were styrene rods with the ends drilled out and the rest were from 030" styrene sheets.

I am torn between using that scratch piece and sculpt the rest using green stuff or just cut off the front part of the two heavy flamer arms I have and convert those into assault gun arms to minimize the sculpting.

after buying a pair of new piranha’s for my tau army, i think im gonna build those for this GB. probably gonna be a very light gray and black paint scheme, matching the rest of my army. Already got them built, just waiting to get some time to paint them. ps. could you fix my screenname to “BLAKJAK” hate to be picky, but there are no C’s. thanks!

Oops, my bad. Caught the first C but not the second. haha.

Hi! Finished these two this past weekend, just got the pics up. The paint is chaos black over codex grey. I wanted to add a little variety to my white and black scheme I normally use for my army. I think I’ll paint a couple figures the same colors, I think it looks more slick. The ship with the red markings is the lead vehicle, did it to add some variety. I used my airbrush to paint them, which went quite well. I used Bare Metal Foil to mask which is ideal for Tau vehicles since it conforms nicely to curved and awkward surfaces. Comments and criticisms are welcome and appreciated.

ps. I’ll try to get more pics up, but I’m having some trouble.

I am probably too late to enter this GB but thought Id post a Cadian Basilisk SPG I finished earlier this year:

Kind of a long shot here but I picked up an Eldar Falcon Grav Tank the other day but it came without the intruction sheet. I can probably figure it out but it would be nice to have before I do something stupid…DOH!

If anybody has one and can scan it I would be very greatful. But then again it might just give me an excuse to buy another :slight_smile:

Some great looking stuff in this build, can anybody play or registration closed?

I will add both of you guys to the list.

I don’t have anything eldar so i doubt I can help. I can ask my local hobbyshop see if they can find me some replacement ones for free if they are at all able to do that. I’d say be adventurous and build it without instruction though. hehe. take a picture of the sprues individually, n let’s help you figure it out too. my marines freak out with the sight of eldar grav tanks… n fricking tau heavy weapons…

Thanks for letting me play, here’s a Tau Piranha I did back in May (Had to go back and check my upload date to remember when I built it).

that is a very very interesting wood splinter camo. i don’t believe i’ve seen it ever. nice job.

Thanks, I’ve always liked German WWII camo, well heck I love any camo but I was inspired by WWII German splinter camo. I built this kit with the idea it would be serving in an area primarily covered in tall grass. I also added screen mesh over the intakes and little windscreens to keep the bugs out off thier helmets :wink:

You can see bigger pics here:
