Sounds promising mate, excited to see pics and very curious to see a landraider/rhino kit bash! ill be waiting :)

Well Just for you Gearhart here are the pics of the entirety of the painted army so far, There was some Green Stuffing on the Commander to give him an edge and superiority over his peers.

There is a LOT of images so it may take a while for it all to load so apologies. Currently I am working on the rest of the Rampager Squad Brutus. Also in the pipeline is the completion of the 11000 point list I made... I need to add a little more to make it up to 12000 points.... This may take a while :D
(Sigh this is going to be a lot of copy and paste work QQ)

Thanks Man, I decided that I completely HATE White... So the less "Pure" white on the model the better as white is an absolute BITCH to paint.
Nice to see you've been busy during the downtime!

Your 'muddy' weathering effects are really nice.
Well Straken! Of course I was busy, That stormraven has been sitting in bits for 9 months now and I decided Fuck it. World Eaters now NOM. And these bad boys have been in combat for months slogging away in muddy conditions, making them nice and muddy.

On a further note the Captain is now on display in my local hobby shop, "Titan Games" in Lichfield if any of you are interested in seeing it. I've added the first stages of the paint job to one of the Jump Pack squad and my Champion for the regular squad is built with a custom meteor hammer, pics will be up when I finish the entire backpack squad and the latest Jump Pack marines paint job.

In Other News I have started upon the fluff for my School League List, and Have completed the Veteran Squad and my Chaplain

Chaplain Auroroth - Traitor

Chaplain Auroroth is the most vicious and bloody handed chaplain that the World Eaters have ever set eyes upon. His skill with a Crozius and Bolter is unrivalled by all bar the very elite Devourers of the legion, Angron's personal bodyguard. Auroroth was at the peak of his training and career when he was petitioned by Angron himself to fight in the ring to ascend to the Devourers, but Auroroth simply replied “My path is not with you. It is with the chaplain order, and the warriors of the legion”. Angron completely accepted the statement, a rare thing for the World Eater's Primarch, and instigated Auroroth into the Chaplain order. He is famed for having the title “Lord Of Truth” after making a speech to the legion so compelling that the world succumbed in less than a day as the World Eaters were spurred on by the Chaplain's Firery orator. Currently Auroroth is attached to the 19th Company of the World Eaters, fighting in the depths of Istvaan III. Post-Heresy where-abouts Unknown.

Veteran Tactical Squad Straton – Traitor
1.Veteran Sergeant Straton – Demonos Straton is one of the few world eaters that were still loyal to Angron who did not have Psycho-Implants. This was due to his battlefield prowess and long list of battle-honours in close combat and glories in the ring, he decided it was not necessary to have the implants and still retains a cool head when it comes to assaulting an objective, preferring to shoot the targets down before charging into close combat. His armament is a Power Sword of unknown origins, a Umbra-Ferrox pattern Boltgun and Artificer armour with the symbols of the Crossed Chains, 3 Legion Symbols, and a Bronze Helmet.
2.Veteran Siberim – Tigron Siberim is one of the few marksmen in the legion to have achieved over 50 battle honours, of which at least 10 are head shots on Xenos commanders and some are rumoured to be Astartes. His Hot-headedness often shows in battles, often taking out part of the enemy squad before finishing the job with a brutal blow from his bayonet. His armament is a Umbra-Ferrox pattern Boltgun with a Mono-serrated bayonet, a Thunder Edge pattern Chainsword and Power Armour with 2 Legion Symbols, Marksman Honour Badges and a Bronze Helmet.
3.Veteran Dimosol – Maskar Dimosol is a Gladiatoral champion of 21 battles, not least against 3 Captains, 2 Chaplains and even 4 members of a Rampager squad in a single battle. He prefers to kill using straight bolt rounds to the head rather than a chain-blade, but when his hands have to get dirty... They get dirty. His armament is a Godwin pattern Boltgun, a Krak Grenade and Power armour with 2 Legion Symbols, 2 Crossed chains and a Bronze Helmet.
4.Veteran Samalos – Diethi Samalos is an odd ball, having been transferred through 7 companies, and at least 20 different squads he has only recently found a home in the squad after single-handedly taking and holding a munitions bay from rebels after the rest of his squad had been wiped out. For this courageous honour he got promoted to veterancy and now wears Red gauntlets as a sign of his achievement. His Armament is a Godwin pattern Boltgun, 2 Frag Grenades and Power Armour with 2 Legion Symbols, Red Gauntlets and a Bronze Helmet.
5.Veteran Molos – Maeto Molos is the squad's Vexilla Bearer and Second-In-Command to Straton due to his ability to rally a squad under his banner, he has served as banner bearer to the previous Praetor of the 19th company before his return to the squad. An assistant to the chaplain order, Molo's has a black shoulder pad bearing the Legions Number. His Armament is a Umbra-Ferrox pattern Boltgun with Chain-Bayonet, a Bolt Pistol and Power Armour with 2 Legion Symbols, a Black Shoulder pad with Legion Number, a Legion Vexilla and a Bronze Helmet
6.Veteran Vishno – Lando Vishno is a Skilled urban warfare specialist focused in fighting in Close Combat with a Bayoneted Boltgun often spearing his foes before ripping them off again with a pull of the trigger. His armour is of a non-standard pattern that he has personal preference towards due to it being his previous sergeants armour, for whom he had the most admiration. His Armament is a Umbra-Ferrox pattern Boltgun, A Frag Grenade and Power Armour with 2 Legion Symbols, White Shoulder Pads, Blue Torso and a Bronze Helmet.
7.Veteran Sigmar – Ostron Sigmar is a veteran of 20 campaigns with 7 expeditionary fleets, He knows xeno-biology like the back of his hand, and astartes biology is almost second nature to him. A member of the apothecary order, although only in part, he can administer simple medical aid to wounded astartes in his squad when an apothecary is not required. His Armament is a Umbra-Ferrox pattern Boltgun, a Frag grenade and a Krak Grenade and Power Armour with 2 Legion Symbols, A White Apothecary Shoulder Pad and a Bronze Helmet.
8.Veteran Thales – Somol Thales is the glue that binds the squad together, being both friend and comrade to all members of the squad, with him in the squad they perform significantly better in both ranged and close combat as the squad seeks to impress there talented friend. His armour bears 2 lower red panels on his Mk II Armour where usually there would be blue panels, this signifies his role in the squad, Demolitions. His Armament is a Godwin pattern Boltgun, 6 Grenades of various types and Power Armour with 2 Legion Symbols, Red lower plates on his Torso and a Bronze Helmet.
9.Invigilator Sallak – Harros Sallak is the squad Invigilator, an officer only attached to veteran squads. Invigilators are individuals dedicated to securing the most key objectives and examining, identifying and retrieving any artefacts deemed useful to the legion, Including weaponry and lost Techno-arcana. The invigilators armament is a Godwin pattern Boltgun, an-inbuilt scanning sensor array, a Frag Grenade and Power armour with a Green Shoulder pad bearing the 2 crossed I's of the Invigilator order, 3 Legion Symbols, a Crossed Chain and a Bronze Helmet.
10.Veteran Oloso – Sahir Oloso is a talented and trusted leader, a sergeant in all squads apart from his current veteran squad, where he lost out in an extremely close combat duel between himself and Straton. He lives for combat and embraces the teachings of Sigmar for his life saving medical aid in the heat of battle. A conservative warrior, He is armed with a Godwin pattern Boltgun and Power Armour, with 2 Legion Symbols, Red Hand symbol on his Chest and a Bronze Helmet.

Wow! great start and haha yeah that many points will take some time i know from personal experience haha and everything looks fantastic i like the green stuff globe real nice touch and the weathering is great! question though do you repose your models? and i cant wait to see more!
 
#11 ·
I do repose my models, I try to make sure I have each individual model in it's own stance, There are slight differences more then big ones as the kit itself doesn't really allow for much reposing, But I tried.
 
#12 ·
Agh I thought so do you by any chance soak them in boiling water to repose them? I would think there would be too much restriction if you did it that way?
 
#13 ·
Not touching boiling water with them. Knowing me I'd make a finger shaped indent into the front of the chests, I just move the torsos into new positions same with the arms and the head.
 
#15 ·
Thanks for the positive Encouragement! It helps me carry on!

Now that My list has been finalized for school league (Libby is En-route to me by Post, It's the DV set one but converted for WE) I have started finishing off my Rampager Squad, and working on My Mk II apothecary to get used to the Crusade Armour.

Today I finaly caved in and bought the vallejo weathering powders and some AK Pigment Fixer ti apply to my models and make more realistic dirt, and on tanks make some realistic rust effects on certain metal exposed areas (E.G Vents) Here's some examples! (All marines have this)

Thanks man, Here is the finished article! Also Baal pred will be bought/ordered to make a Predator Infernus upon a modern chassis (Will be played as baal pred) with some chaos bits added to make it deliciously stabby. Also some fluff for hthe libby.

Librarian Kirik is often called "The Unreliable" as his powers would often help Himself and his allies as he is a master of the disciplines of Biomancy and Divination, but has some... Odd powers. These include the passive power to remove mud and paint chips from his armour (although this will seal over battle damage and not repair it) and the power to make the enemy laugh uncontrollably. This may be due to the fact that his sword is embedded with the soul stone of an Eldar Harlequin, which may give him the blessing of the laughing god. The paint repair however, Is of unknown origin.

That should be interesting to see I'm quite interested! And great job on the librarian I really like him, will you be adding pigment with him as well? And how about around the thrusters? Keep it up! :D
 
#23 ·
I will add a little pigment around the feet but I didn't get any black pigment, so I can't paint the scorching... But I will do the Jump Pack Technique you gave me on other marines, I wanted it to look like his jump pack has been off for a while. I will try to add a little scorching to the jump pack with paint tho.
 
#29 ·
So, I promised you a Baal Predator worthy of the XII Legion, and boy, did I sure redeem that promise... It's VERYVERYVERY W.I.P right now, just with some sample weathering, primed and a start on the blue turret. Also theres a subtle colour change, the base colour is White mixed with P3 Frostbite, so it has a very light blue tinge noticeble when highlighting, and the rusted rivets was created by Vallejo Weathering Powder brown iron oxide, followed by a pin wash of unthinned P3 brown ink.

Well we're world eaters! Physics isn't an option! Just fire roughly in the direction whilst spinning in a circle and watch everything die! (Also the spikes cannot be removed... Damn my gluing.) I'll just get the librarian to point the tank where it wants to fire....
 
#39 ·
Thanks for the continual support Gearhart, It really helps!

--
Now a bit of a no-pic update today, I have been painting, a bit more rust here and there on the tank and I now have a second librarian.... Because I didn't want to weather the first and it currently doesn't fit, so I have made a large rock base, stood a chaplain with jump pack model upon it. Then I decided to remove the crozius head to accomadate a more... appropriate weapon for a librarian. I will also be swapping the head for a new one and have added a couple more grenades and a FW legion Vexallia. Will wait on final weapon build ect. before posting.
