300 point modeling club: November

[Thlaylie]

So striogi I wish to enter my StormHammer conversion, which is currently just a box of parts. (which I'll take a pic of) There is no point value for this unit that I know of, but the Baneblade in either of it's stock varients is 500 points.

Can I enter this? It would motivate me to get it started.

[nuklearangel]

Yeah mate, do it. You can enter anytime in the month, just don't take too long or you'll have no time to work with! Man, that Stormhammer is one nasty piece of hardware. Build it!

[zark]

Cant wait to see some of the finished projects especially since some of the more prominent converters on the site are entered, just make sure you all finish this time, it was kind of dissapointing last month when it was just lowlygaunt and myself that finished in time. Good luck guys.

[WestRider]

Hopefully my Magnets will get here in time for me to get the Flyrant done. Other than that, I'm way ahead of schedule.

Alas, I'm getting behind schedule waiting for my warrior wings to arrive. I suspect that either they were lost in transit or the ebay store in question is unreliable. Not sure which outcome is preferable

that sucks. do you have something you can substitute the wings for? try contacting the seller...?

I realized I should have entered this month when I spent last night building a new chapter commander for my space marines and pointing out a new command squad.

up side: the command squad alone is over 300 points and remains to be done.
down side: the commander (roughly 200 points) is already converted.

I'll take pics tonight.

I've contacted the seller and agreed on a solution if they don't show up within a set number of days. At the very least I'll have my Tyrant finished before the end of the month. If I get stuck for points I'll bring forward the conversions for my other two Tyrants

[Devil's Advocate]

well, that sounds equitable. we'll let you slide

here is my list:
Command Squad:

9x marines
frag Grenades, Infiltrate
Standard Bearer
Apothacary
Sergeant with power weapon and CCW
Marine with Meltagun
Marine with Flamer
Marine with Relic
Champion with combat shield, bolt pistol and power weapon

total: 303 points

also completed (but I didn't include an incomplete shot so I don't know if you'll allow it:

Commander
Artificier armor, iron halo, storm bolter, power fist, term honors, teleport homer, frag, and infiltrate: 169

here is the collection of bitz: somewhere in here are all my new marines



here is the commander:

[WestRider]

Nice. I particularly like the Stormbolter on the back of the Powerfist.

[Shas'o Tash'var Kais Pat]

yeah, great way to use those weird looking old boltguns, mind if I steal the idea?

[Devil's Advocate]

heck no, go for it.
I had to shave the sides that faced each other so they would match up, but that was really quite easy. there is still a bit of a gap on part of it and I may fill it with epoxy putty.

time will tell...

I'm thinking of entering in january when I get some stuff, but I'll be doing some Ultramar's Retributors, which are actually not legal. I have a trial points cost on the general board Ultramar's Retributor's thread, and I wanna know if I can just do them or if I should count them as vets? Either way, I'll go for january!

well, let me refer to the rules...

Step 2: ... Post a 300 point list of said models. The list does not have to be a playable army, however, the list must be legal in the strictest sense (that is, you may not list a Space marine with Rending Claws).

This would include lists that you created for use with your friends, unless you used something published by GW to create it.

e.g. I could create a single character that is WS 8, Str 8, T6 etc, give him Furious Charge, Jump packs, Fleet, Storm Bolter, Power weapon, Terminator honors, Rending, and that power that lets models with a 2 hand gun and a CCW treat it as 2 CCWs, and more, and call the model 350 points. then I only have to make 1 model for the club in a month.
That would be against the rules.

e.g. 2: I could open up the VDR from the 2004 annual they made, and create a super dreadnought for 500 points...
That would be within the rules.

so, if you want to make a model for your Retributors, I recommend you find some legal rules that they could "count as" and make them. when you go play your friends with your created chapter, have fun and do whatever you like.

I shouldve entered the Hierophant this month! It should be done tonight hehe. 6 days work... not bad for 1250 points

[Thlaylie]
