Pit Variant Armoured Sentinel

Looking at the new Black Reach starter box for Warhammer 40k, I noticed the cool Ork Deffkoptas and was happy that orks had cool models but I'm not an ork player. Being a I.G. player I looked at different ways to modify this model to take it into my army and came up with this model. I'm going to use this model as an armored sentinel with plasma cannon. To convert the Deffkopta I filed down all the ork symbols and craziness that make orks, added chimera tread guards to make it look as if armor was added, added an armored sentinel pilot that I didn't use and some green stuff to paste and make the plasma cannon. I hope you guys like the Sentinel. Let me know of any questions you might have. *named after Pit; the main character in Kid Icarus*

Col. Iron Hand Straken

My Colonel is complete. Sorry for the long delay. I've been playing alot lately with friends and I've been busy at work. Here are the pics. enjoy :)

Blood Angels

I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about wanting a new codex for the Blood Angels. I found this new Blood Angels codex that is a free download by games-workshop.

Col. 'Iron Hand' Straken pt. 1

I love the new model of Col. 'Iron Hand' Straken from G.W. but I didn't want to guy and buy from the store because of lack of funds. So I decided to do what most do. Convert. The biggest obstacle is his shot gun. So I did this conversion. I will use parts from the Catachan Sprue to do the rest. To be Continued...

For the New Guys

For the new guys who are playing Warhammer 40k I highly suggest to go over and listen to IMPERIAL VOX CAST. You can click the image on the site and it will take you to their forums. You can find their podcast on I-Tunes if you search it by name. They are currently discussing all the different armies available to play Warhammer 40k and their advantages and disadvantages.

Marbo conversion

I decided to create a favorite amongst guard players, Sly/Guardsman Marbo. I know how everyone likes Rambo as their favorite infiltrator but I prefer another. Being a big fan of Metal Gear I made my Guardsman Marbo to resemble Solid Snake.

I converted my Marbo using the Catachan sprue and a carapace jacket and bottom half of a guardsman from the cadian sprue. I filed down the blouse part of the bottom half to look like regular pants and I also filed off the eagle on the chest of the carapace armor. I then added the pistol, head, and knife arms from the catachan sprue. I added some green stuff on the the head to make his hair longer and similar to snakes hair in Metal Gear Solid when he infiltrated Shadow Moses. *If your wondering about the demo charge its in his back pouch. Let me know what you guys think. I dry brushed the entire model with codex grey then the armor and hands black. His skin is painted with dwarf flesh.
