Well a few things...

I have gotten that new Venerable Dreadnought...

and I have it set up with the finger style power hand and heavy flamer and then the other weapons are all set up for swaping out...

I then took my Iron Clad dreads CCW arm and cut off the fingers and glued the other power weapon hand from the venerable to the front of it and then used that arm for my first dread and threw on two different venerable front peices to make a new one and made him into a Furiso Dread...looks pretty cool...I am thinking of painting him black and making him into a Death Company verson as the front really looks like someone would wear if they are locked in eternal crazyness...

I just need to figure out a way to get 2 DCCW weapons onto my Ironclad again...4 Strenght 10 hits on the charge is always a good thing...haha

Sarpdon just need a new coat...

HAHA...well as I was up till 530 this morning...and could not sleep I finished up Sarpdon's Conversion...only a 7 legged freak...but his bionic leg is the only thing missing...Gave him an Axe and a Bolter...Bolt Pistol on his side if needed..Helmet on the other side under his bolter arm...

Well none the less two quick shots from my Camera Phone...one from the Front and another from the top side to see the base underneath him...and no he is not glued on yet...

Sarpdon Conversion

Ok I had the idea when the Soul Drinkers first Omnibus came out and ripped through it like a hot knife threw butter...but at the time I was happy camper and newly married and had no time for conversions...much less paint any of the models I had glued together at 2am in the morning as my 1 yr old daughter slept...

Fast forward to a few months ago I was reading a blog I go to every now and then and low and behold the man was making a Sarpdon conversion...similar to what I was thinking...only better...haha...

But hey that does not mean no one else can make a conversion of their own...using a similar technique as the other guy I went about doing my own...

Using a Nids body...one of the smaller gaunts I think I cut off some arms from another two and glued them to the body...cut off the head and neck...For the Torso I used a Company Champions Body as well as a helmet less head...as Sarpdon throughout the books would always lead without his helmet on unless the situation demanded it. So I glued on a helmet that I will paint up for if he needs to use it...haha

I relized something...and I acted...

HAHA...really I did...

I had noticed that my Iron Warriors when I play them against my other Loyalist army versons (Sons of Baal, Soul Drinkers, and Ultra Templar) they come out on top...and I think that is awesome...of course I play the Iron Warriors and my brother ends up playing my armies as his has not yet arrived via a trade from Rogue Market...ehh no worries though...

sooo...In rememberence of this awesome act of wanton destruction and violence...haha

I bring you Warsmith Savarese...hehe he has the same last name as me...I wonder if we are related...haha

Some Legion of the Damned Models...

Of all the legends of the Imperium, the strangest by far is the that of the Legion of the Damned. These silent warriors are Space Marines in appearance, their black armour adorned with chilling images of bones and fire, yet they are not of any Chapter under the Emperor's sun. Most eyewitnesses dispute even the Legionnaires' mortality, for an eerie glow suffuses their sable armour and a halo of ghostly fire dances about their feet. There are many corroborated accounts of Legionnaires enduring firepower that would annihilate mortal men.


And so I will be making a 5 man squad for now...maybe later on I will make a full ten man squad...but for now here are the first two Legion of the Damned Squad members...






Yes I know I need to get rid of the Chainswords as the codex does not say that they have a close combat weapon...but you know what...I dont care...my Legion of the Damned are hardcore...er...haha

The Five man squad will consist of this...

Sergeant with Power Fist and Bolt Pistol
2 Bolter LoTD Marines
1 LoTD Missile Launcher Marine
1 LoTD Flamer Marine

Painted Scout Models...

I am liking the paint job I did on my scouts here...going to have to use them As Soon as I can...I want to use their automatic no saves on a 4+ shots...I like that Sniper Rifle...haha

Ok then...

First 5 man Sniper Scout Squad is complete to a degree...need some black to do some touch ups and some very dark grey...which I hope to pick up this afternoon...

But here they are....




Then there is my Master Scout Sergeant I got in the mail just the other day...Thanks again Breatac over at Rouge Market...




I plan on putting a head on him with a breather grille on his face and paint up quickly...but I need my clipers to make it fit and some green stuff to make a neck...worst case...I just put the old head back on there...haha

for 140 points right there that is not to bad at all...snipers in all their hands...which means 5 shots of a 4+ automatic wound...nice I know...camo cloaks on them as well...

a lot of points there I know...but I think I should try it out and see if they are worth it...haha

Objective Markers...

I dont know about you but it seems to me that the objective markers at my local gaming spot are pieces of paper or just trash in general...I mean when was an empty 12oz can of Coke-Cola something that the space marines have to fight for...I mean I could understand Pepsi...but really...

haha

Second thing...This is something everyone has...unless you just throw them away...shame on you for this...Extra Bits...Weapons, Guns, Grenades, Bases the other weapons on a tank that you wont ever use because you just super glued one set onto the tank...So seeing that I had a few free minutes and would like to show you how to do a quick Objective Marker...Here we go...

First you will need the following:
Glue


Bases - Troop Bases or any would really depends on how large you want one


A bunch of Bits


Step One:
Take a Random Base of your choosing...(I know really I just said that)... lay it in front of you next to a few weapons, guns, so on and so forth...


Step Two:
Glue said items onto base


Step Three:
Let said Glue dry, then prime, then paint...

I have not had a chance to paint these things yet but hey you get the idea right...

But seeing that I had a few minutes I grabbed my paint and a cup of water and my smaller brush and did a quick paint job...just so I can say...HEY...I am the man...

Also Objective Markers don't have to be perfect...like I said...that was a few minutes of work one coat move on with life...

Ok First off let me say that I only did this because one I had the time to do it and two...a graet guy put up a great Tutorial...

But none the less I did one myself and I want to brag a bit about it...Haha...

First off I used one of my two Dreadnoughts I got off of eBay from the Assault on Black Reach...Thus if I messed up I was only out $5 and not $40...

So onto the list of items I used...:

1 Assault on Black Reach Dreadnough

1 Space Marine Front Torso

1 Space Marine Helmet...yes you would probably want to use a helmet on this guy...

1 Space Marine Shoulder Pad

1 Bottle of Games Workshop Plastic Glue


1 Pair of Games Workshop Snippers...



Ok First Step...

Take the shoulder pad and the helmet you have and dry fit it to see where you will need to cut the shoulder pad at...when you cut it make sure you cut it far enough in where the back of the helmet will hit the back of the shoulder pad...

Trust me it helps a lot...

Second Step...

I cut the front of the dreadnought right off...snip snip snip...left a nice sized hole on the inside...and then I cut around to make a nice squar opening...then I glued the Space Marine Front Torso to the front of the dread like so...



Third Step...

Take the Shoulder Pad Helmet-thingy you just made and dry fit it to the torso/dread body/frame...haha...

Then Glue around the edges if you have not already glued. Let it Dry...



Final Step...

Glue on some Purity Seals on the arms and chest...throw on a few other things that make it stand out...

I had to stop myself with the Purity Seals or it would have been covered in them...haha

How to make a Powerfist/Storm Bolter

I was at work one night around midnight or so which was a first and hopefully something I will never do again...but like I was saying I was at work catching up on a few things and as they were loading onto the CD's...the caffine was kicking in and thus my mind was working over time and I was thinking along those lines of this...

I was just sitting there thinking "Hey...the crimson fist guy gets a powerfist and a wrist mounted storm bolter...grey knights get wrist mounted bolters as well...and Calgar from the Smurfs gets a powerfist with bolter on both hands...WHY NOT MY CHAPTER...hey look a powerfist...and some bolt pistols...HEY..."

Now you see my train of thought sick I know...but it works in its own little way...

For this you will need the following:

1. Glue of some sort I use the Plastic Glue from Games Workshop


2. Those sniper-thingies from Games Workshop (the clippers that you cut the stuff off the spruce with.)


3. Two Bolt Pistols...any verson will do as most will be cut off anyway...



4. A Power Fist...Hopefully one without to much on the top...


Step One...

Cut the handles off the Bolt Pistols as well as the clip/and or hand/arm off of the Bolt Pistols...

You also need to shave off one side mirror image of the Bolt Pistols so they glue up together atleast somewhat well enough...

This should leave you with this...


Next take the Power Fist and remove any icons on it...Leaving you with something like this...


Next Glue the two Bolt Pistols together...Making This


Next Glue those Bolt Pistols to Power Fist like this...Making This...


For the Ammo clip I took the clip off a terminator stormbolter and glued it to the side of the gun...


TADA

Honestly...I think that is a cool conversion...if you wanted you can take some green stuff and make a cord that goes from the back of those bolters to the backpack of the marine you are using it on and make the heavy bolter idea like Pedro from the Crimson Fist...

How to make a Stormbolter/Power Weapon

Ok...Sorry I did not take any as the project was going on pictures...all I have are some after it was finished

But first one

Guardian Spear...only better...(ie what the Custodes use)

I took the staff from the Chaos Terminator Lord cut off the top...then I took two bolters and cut off the handles and shaved a side off each one and glue those two together then I glued them to the staff...I even used Chaos Bolters...so I had to cut off the spikes and the grining mouth that the bolter shells come out of...then I put a purity seal over the left over mouth just in case...then I went an added a axe head from the Power Axe off the Chaos Terminators Spruce and shaved it down to where only a little bit of the axe base was used to hold down the well you will see the pictures how about that...and glued that to the bottom of the bolters

How to Make a Loyalist Power Axe out of Chaos

Then I made that same Terminator Power Axe into a loyalist Axe

I cut off the spikes making them square at the top and seeing that the back was cut off to make the spear better I used a power axe from a loyalist marine that I had used to make my Thunder Hammer and glued that to the back and took a Winged thingy and cut off the wings and glued those to sides to cover up the skull that was left at the base after I cut it flat...

Wow I wish I had taken before and after pictures...
