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.

  3. 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?

  4. 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.

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

  7. @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!

  8. That twin barreled battle cannon on the front is pure win. Love it. Is it still built of the stock Baneblade chassis or does it have its own bespoke base to build up from?

  9. You're insane, you know that?

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

  10. 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)

  11. @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!
