And the Razorback, using a Forgeworld Deimos pattern Rhino, just awaiting turrets winging their way from Puppets War

The only problem is that the Proteus doesn’t have a front assault ramp… And given that I had been trying to build the Wolves to fit WYSIWYG as closely as possible, that obviously wasn’t acceptable. I also wanted to run a Redeemer in my Adepticon list, which meant a little weapons swapping was going to be required.

So, a bit of hacking and gluing later:

iwlandraiderwip1

At this point, initial assembly is nearly complete. The weapons are magnetised so I can swap them out for other Land Raider configurations later. The top panel is also magnetised, so I can just lift out the actual mount for the hull weapon if I need to. I’m using Chaos autolaunchers as the frag assault launchers (also magnetised so they can be removed when using it as a regular land raider), and will fit a regular smoke launcher to the top hull.

The first Rune Priest – still waiting on beard and hair:

Bloodclaws:

Grey Hunters production line:

iwgreyhunterswip1

To help differentiate a little on the table, the Bloodclaws are left a little more plain than their Grey Hunter Brethren, although I’ve tried for as much variation as possible with armour throughout the army. The Bloodclaws also all have helmets on, whereas the Hunters will be a mix of helmets and bare heads.

I’m going for a bare-metal and barbaric approach, and calling them the Iron Wolves. In keeping with that, I wanted Thunderwolves that were (a)cheaper than buying mulitple copies of Canis Wolfborn, (b)not as silly-looking as Canis Wolfborn and (c)looked like robot wolves…

Enter the Thundercrusher:

Converted from a plastic Juggernaut. Still needs toes and a little final detailing, but I’m pretty happy with it overall. Now to build 4 more.

I’m finally happy with the third attempt on the Aquila on his leg. Started in on purity seals and pouches and the like.

Nearly done on this guy…

I dusted off the trio of Ultramarine characters that I started working on some time ago, and wound up replacing a little detail on the Captain. His chest icon was a little wonky, so I ripped it off and replaced it, and the eagle on his left shin was frankly quite terrible. So it also came off, and was replaced. I also started adding the icons on the bottom of his loincloth straps, and roughly fleshed out the fingers on the right hand powerfist.

For the curious, once they’re finished, these guys will be destined for the UTC online store, along with a bunch of other conversions that I am currently working on.

More to come soon.

Finishing off a hand… still needs a thumb:


Some more work on the demo-specialist’s bionic arm:

And on this guy:
