WIP Vow #3 Kite I and Kite II update #1

Update time

So this has been sitting around for a few days and i finally got around to taking pics of what I got accomplished. The side step was an intentional break as it was not sitting flush.

Crew out

Pilots (bare head will be for Typhoon "Kite I")




so if you notice that the bare head pilot has a black strip running down his shoulder pad behind his unit designation marking. That is something I am planning to do for all my Veteran Sgts, while veterans will have just the yellow strip on their helmet

So the pilot of Kite I is the Veteran Sgt for the 8th company, 8th Assault company (all my typhoons and tempest will be crewed by the 8th assault squad members)

I am still waiting on order I placed for tarantula Hyperios launchers, tempest and thunderfire cannons to arrive (3 of each) and at least my Telion and Damocles command rhino parts are in the states....just not my state. 

The more I work on this army the happier I am with it in modeling terms. Lots of future conversions planned for this army.....even with me getting a 3rd Brotherhood Master Voldus for my Grey Knights, still seemyself working on the Raptors above any other Chapter.....sorry Sisters of Battle and Crimson Fists.

Hopefully the new "40k munda" aka Shadow War: Armageddon wont suck as I have plans for my Raptors in that game too.....SCOUTS LEAD THE WAY

Until next time

There is only the Emperor!

WIP VOW #3 Kite I and Kite II

Vow #3 has started as 2 Land Speeder Typhoon Squadron 'Kite"

20170303_161542_zpsj4yflmsa.jpg
Kite II and Kite I

This is the first time in a long time I have built a land speeder (Storms don't count). In fact last last ones I built were plastic/ pewter hybrids when they first came out. These were a lot less annoying to build then them but still had annoying factors. Overal happy with the build for them and a nice addition to the 10th Company of Raptors. Only grips so far is the decals or the lack of them....I need 4 assault marking per vehicle and only got 1....😠

After these are completed, I have 1 more vehicle to go.....Land Speeder Storm and the 1000 pts will be built and vehicles painted.
