Heresy Era Thousand Sons - Spireguard Stormhammer painting begins!

With the sweet new transfers from Fallout Hobbies arriving, it galvanized me to work on a model to put 'em on! The centerpiece for the Spireguard army is going to be the Stormhammer I'd picked up at Gencon, and I managed to get the reds laid in over the last few days.


So far, so good! Next up will be all the silver metallics, after which I can start in on the detail panels in bone-white, and gold rivets.

...So many gold rivets. Hoo boy.

    Nice model, will you use the leviathan army list, make a mega armi for it to fit in or just use the unbound armies rule?

    Ohh now that is a fun tank. No idea on the rules but I love the WW1/grim dark crossover look of it.

    Glad to see you are back into the swing of things.

    That's one heck of a big red land battleship you've got there. :)

    @Dai: I am thrilled with FW's take on the beast - it's at once sleek, but brutal.

    @Courtney Hollyoake: Indeed! It was a joy to assemble, and it's looking like it's gonna be fun to paint as well. Right up to the point when it's time to do the rivets. :)

    @Francesc: The basic Imperial Army list in Tempest provides for the inclusion of a single Lord of War, which is nice!

    @Davetaylor: Thanks very much - I'd love to see what your version of a Stormhammer would look like!

    @Rory Priest: Indeed! Feels good to be back behind the painting table again!

    @Greg Hess: Cheers man - plenty to come over the next week or two!

    @Stephen: Absolutely! I know, it's a shame it's getting done up in KSons colors. ;)

    @#2501: You know, that's exactly what I was thinking - it's got a bit of a naval gun-deck look about it. Such a cool kit!

    Cheers, everyone!

    You're insane, you know that?

    Love it, but you're still insane. :P :)

    Yeah but you?ll have to field like 2400pts to include the stormhammer (lords of war must be up to 25% of the points) you could ally them with the V legion or just run the rulebook combined arms (no limits to the lord of war pts)

    @Frothing Muppet: Totally! It uses the plastic baneblade track housings and undercarriage, pretty much the rest is all resin. It's a beast!

    @Miniature Tim: You know it, brother! Hah!

    @Francesc: Indeed, but at the moment the army is intended to be about 3k, so shouldn't be a problem. :)

    Cheers everyone!
