Capitan Nestryx

Captain Nestryx Pictures are here

Published by Joe B

This is Captian Nestryx, commander of the assult forces of the 14th Grand Company. He marches to war in his Terminator Armour and dual lightning claws. As for conversion work on this model I used the Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour kit and used the two lightning claws in the box. I didn’t like the position of the claws so I cut each hand at the wrist, turned is slightly and re-glued. To make this work I had to redo the power cables running to each hand. I made the new cables out of 5 pieces of plastic rod and wrapped with a thin strip of green stuff. I also used a head from the Iron Warriors upgrade bitz set. This required some sanding of the head and armour opening to allow it to fit, but it has a great result. The base is one of the ones included in GW’s basing kit. It is the same size as the normal base for Terminators so I just used it instead.

Land Raider Pictures

The Land Raider was a blast to put together and paint, it has so many  great details inside and out. The lascannon sponsons are magnetized to the hull so I could take them off. I painted the inside of the vehicle before gluing the top section on: The side access doors were also magnetized to show off the inside. There was very little modifications to the actual model other than adding some Chaos spiky bits and replacing the lascannon tips with the dragon heads.

Dreadnought pictures are here as well

Published by Joe B

This dreadnought was originally from the Assault on Black Reach box set from GW but with some modifications. The most obvious is the head. I cut out the front plate and modified one of the masks from the Defilier kit. The wires hanging below are an assortment of guitar strings and small gauge wire. The another modification made is the added trim and stars. This was made with thin plasti-card strips cut to length and glued down.

Baneblade is built!

Published by Joe B

Even though I had plenty of other units to build and paint to even field a full 1750pt game I was too excited for the Baneblade. I spent many a hour putting this massive and amazing kit together. It was the little details that really made this model shine, the gun barrels are already hollow (no drilling out needed), each panel is covered in rivets, hatch access points and unfortunately Aquillas. I spent about half my time scraping of this symbols of the corpse fool and replacing them with Chaos stars and army markings. I did run into one issue, the right side of the main turret was missing from the box. I went back the GW store and they generously opened a new box and gave me the missing piece (I think they are going to build a Skull Hamma’ from the rest of it). Once I get some more details and Chaos add-ons I will post some pictures!
