Adeptus Mechanicus "counts as" Sentinel Part 4

Adeptus Mechanicus "counts as" Sentinel Part 4

Yes, yes, the slacking continues.....

Got these to this stage about 2 week ago, not happy with the photos, as they look better in person but I have a light booth coming via Kickstarter. Hoping that helps a bit :-)

So the question I am struggling with is do they need additional Detail?

I considered either hand painted or stenciled hieroglyphics along the "carapace", or some of the nice Adeptus Mechanic details via their awesome decal sheet. but honestly stuck.

All 3 from each side.

Adeptus Mechanicus "counts as" Sentinel Part 3

Adeptus Mechanicus "counts as" Sentinel Part 3

Ok, ok... I am a bit of a slacker.. Excuses for no updates aside I have been slowly working on finishing this set of Sentinel conversions.

Aiming for a little bit of a different paint scheme, I focused on trying to paint Sandstone.. Turns out not only is stone a difficult concept to paint, sandstone is exceptionally challenging due to the wacky colors combos and random patterns. The aim was something along the lines of this..

I ended up with something completely different, but not terrible.. With more practice and experimentation the goal is replicating something closer to traditional Sandstone.

 

Going with my Admech Bases to fit in the line Troops

 

The next set I will pose, adjust and label before painting, the adjustment of the "Toes" was a pain after the fact, too much time was spent fixing paint blemishes after fiddling with the legs to get the position correct.

 

 

More soon, and I hope to avoid another 3 months between updates..

Adeptus Mechanicus "counts as" Sentinel Part 1

So I have been playing a bit of 7th, and am surprised by how much fun this edition is. Trying out Imperial Guard (Can't bring myself to call them Astra Militarum) and in an effort to have a little bit more fun I am trying to list build using unusual and often overlooked units.

Which Brings me to the Armored Sentinel!

Taken from Google of course!

Having had a great deal of success with the basic 40 point Multi-Laser equipped model in squadrons I figured it was time to stop using the broken eBay-bait ones I had been using and put something worthy on the table.

Again stuck in my rut of Egyptian themed 40k. Fluff behind it would be these are the AdMech Seconded to the Thousand Sons during the Heresy.

A bit of a WIP of course, goal would be 9 when I was done.

Standard Sentinel for Reference

Scale is nearly perfect, a little "longer" and gun is a little lower, but overall like the vibe.

Going to modify the arm guard to switch the side the blade is on.

 

Thoughts?

WIP Kor’sarro Khan Part 5, Finished Model

Amun Khan, leader of "Khepri's Relentless Legion"

Sorry for the delay in posts. I have been using every spare minute (almost literally) to finish this army for the St Valentine’s Massacre this weekend in Media PA. I have not had a chance to set up my photo box to take good pictures of the finished Cavalry. That being said I just (02/24/2011, 16:29 EST) finished assembling the Kor’sarro Khan model I will be using.

A few notes:

1. I wanted to add gold hieroglyphics to the inside of the cloak, but I was running out of time, and that was going to be a seriously involved process.
2. I like the head I crafted for my Khan, as a follower of Anubis. It's Sculpted with a Space Wolves head as a base into a jackal like shape. I also like the colors (Thanks Beltway Gamers) I picked for it, but it seems off. It could be I am biased as every model I build I add a Thousand Sons head to it…
3. I still stink at doing power weapons, but getting closer
4. I think in the future every multi-wound model is getting "wound counters" like the jackals here.
   

   
   I am thinking of leaving him as is after the tourney, and just building a second one (additional HQ choice) and using what I have learned to make the next incarnation that much better.

WIP Kor’sarro Khan Part 4

Another Quick update,

Made the FTW Tuesday Top 10 list, if thats not enough of a reason to post more I don't know what is... 

Khan is closer to completion, I bounce around a lot, had to work on bases for my Techmarines, so I did Khan's base at the same time.

I am using "Jackals" as wound counters, with magnets built into the excellent Dragonforge base.





Feedback as always welcome..

Bikes & Attack Bikes next!

WIP Space Marine Bikes Part 14

Just a quick update, working to finish the Bikes, Attack Bikes (photos posted soon), Thunderfire cannons w/ Techmarines, etc... I don't think I will have time to rebuild 3 fresh Dreads before the end of the month, but we shall see!
