Exclamation Tyrion's WIP Angels of Vengeance

Here are some pictures of my Angels of Vengeance as they stand. They will eventually be made into a 3500t Dark Angels army for Apocalypse, but it will require alot of work!

Here's what iv built so far, and i'll list what needs to be built next.



Veteran Squad Axius, lead by my commander - Tribune Daedalus



My 3 Deathwing Squads, lead by a Chaplain in Terminator Armour (Not shown in this pic) - Tribune Diomedes



Ok, so i got bored halfway through The first of my 12 Ravenwing Bikers!



Land Speeder Typhoon



My first Vindicator of my Line Breaker Squadron



Land Speeder Adonis - The one that will carry my Vet. Squad into battle. Gotta love him

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, so thats all for now. Oh, and a nice big army shot!





Still to build, in order that i will build them...

- Master of the Ravenwing on LS
-- Scout Squad
--- 2x Vindicators
---- Land Raider Crusader
----- Those damned Bikers!

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

L_T

You know the powerarmoured guy with the two lightning claws? Any chance of grafting the claw parts onto powerfist upper arms at the elbow to make it fit, then use guitar wire to link the tubing to the powerpack?

I'll give my bits box a good old root

It'll be hard to find a right-handed powerfist, but if you have enough Assault marines, they have a right handed one.

If you insist...Though if you're going that far, you may as well take the metal claws as a pair and save yourself the trouble.

Be careful, as the right arm of the Raptor Champ is moulded to the body, but the left LC is loose. Looks like your gearing up a pretty big force there!

Depends how much of the champ you want to save... I'd just cut it off in a little from the shoulder pad (towards the head), and file/sand/grind back carefully as needed.

I like that biker doing a wheely. Maybe a slight repositioning of the arm so it points forward? Looking really good so far.

It sounds good in theory, but trust me, its impossible to get that arm straight on the model... i tried it... and the damn wing guard fairing on the bike make it impossible without pinning the arm so its wide to a ridiculous degree.

It's easier if you take one of the marine arms that (more or less) point straight forwards from the shoulder. Then swap the hand with the sword hand you want to use, pinning as neccessary to get the right angle.

I might just try that....

BTW, im guna try the arm conversion for the claws sometime today. Expect pics

UPDATE: OKay, so no pictures today. Iv made the model, as in grafted the Claws onto Power Armoured arms and drilled holes in the fists and backpack for me to feed guitar wire (which i have also got and cut to the right lengeth) through. Looks pretty badass, however i have ran out of glue () and so can't glue the buggar together yet.

Soon as i get some Imperial approved Superglue, i'll show you the results of my fiddly thumbs and sharp blades.

Finally got some glue!

Heres some pics of the Lightning Claw model, any ideas on if it looks better?







Yes, it has mould lines/marks/glue marks, all will be got rid of in due time.

And i WILL give the poor bloke a left shoulderpad

Any thoughts on the conversion itself?

Cheers,

L_T

If you attached it to one arm just past the elbow, you may as well do the same with the other... Just a thought.

Nice BTW.
