Massive RG Conversion\ Paint Project Log

[therealjohnny5]

***Pics in Latest Post***HEAVY

Ok, so i've been avoiding this manly bc it'll make me responsible to actually work at a respectable pace, but i'm going to post it anyway. As you can see in my sig, i'm assembling a large amount of the RG chapter. The following list is as it stands now with a few rules added in (so i don't forget what i need to model). For the future i may add another scout squad or 2 so i can get up to 4 scout squads fielded at one time. But not now... Some of this may also change once the FW IA8 comes out. But that being said a few unique things exist to take note of: Corax and his guard of course, while i worked to get all the named characters i could find out there in i took some liberty with the rest of the named characters, some of you may notice a name or two......the two dreads from 1st Co. are twins, the Sgt from 10th Co. is a Commissar from the Death Korps who has joined the RG bc he was so impressed with their tactics and tenacity against greater numbers, i'm sure i'm forgetting stuff, but i'm tired....lmk you initial thoughts and feel free to answer my ridiculous poll. Thanks guys for your input and for all the peeps that helped me with named characters. Peace.

I'll be posting pics later tonight\ this afternoon. i'm at mixed stages here. Some are finished, some are unassembled, some are base coated...you know the drill.

[*tde*]

Crikey, that's an impressive build/paint list. I can't wait to see this progress.

[wittdooley]

Now here's the real question:

Are you going with all beakie heads as RG fluff suggests you should? If so, then kudos to you, my fine sir. Otherwise, you get a polite golf clap

Well here's the problem with that. If i'm not re modeling the entire freaking torso of most of the marines, then i'm using Mk7 Aquilla pattern armor with a MK6 Corvius beaky head. So it's not really fluff...now that being said i'm more inclined to mod the armor that's non-aquilla like this guy did on his pre-heresy helmets...

That being said, it will likely be a mix of his style MK4 green stuffed heads, Mk6 beaks, and Mk7. I'm going to lean toward most of the head's being MK4 and Mk6 though. so how about half a kudos and three golf claps with the last one really loud?

Dread photo link in original post

To quote DV "Impressive!"

Thanks mate. I have to refine my photo skills apparently, lol Sadly all the great detail on the dreads can't be seen. on the Banner on the Sarcophagus their names are written in, and all the combination of bronze and steel looks pretty nice i think...Obviously the Ironclads are WIP but gives an idea...

Land Speeders are up....no paint yet, just conversions...

[Hephesto]

That is indeed a lengthy list, how long do you plan to work on all this stuff?

until it's finished...hopefully it'll be finished by end of year so i can start on my Ork, or Guard army...
