Autarch on jetbike conversion - 40K Terra

Dan296 · 08-05-2007

so alot of people use autarchs on jetbikes. here how i did mine.

i used autarch w/mandiblasters, but its tricky because the head is pointed to the side. so i had to cut it off at the neck, which is weirdly positioned. when i cut the head off, i managed to do it at the middle of the mouth, right below the mandiblasters (though they were still damaged.)

so i repaired damage to the head with green stuff.

because i had shining spears in my army, i bought 2 boxes of those and used the extra jetbike/laser lance bits for my autarch. however, the torso is attached to a head, not to mention its metal. dire avenger sprues, though have an extra torso.

when i added the missle launcher to the bottem, i realized that the end of it blocks the hole the flying base stand thingy goes into, so if youre using a missle launcher you probrobly wanna cut the end off

arranging the control arm and keeping the body in the position you want it is hard, especially if its a weird angle like i made mine. but here is the end result.

for the base, im using a dead salamander SM (cause my friend plays salamanders

)
the hole in the middle is like a shot from the laser lance, and im gonna paint it with scorch marks around the edge. however, its also the hole that the flying stand thing goes into.

so wateya think?

thats pretty cool dan
looks good
i like the flying base
hows it going to be painted?

BrainDeleted · 08-05-2007

looks good!

1 thing I noticed is that the GS around were you attached the Reaper launcher isn't very smooth and kinda looks off I would add another layer of green stuff there + it'll make it look a bit sturdier

pretty nice looking. what stuck out most to me, however, was the idea of putting a dead target right over the flying base hole- cool idea. :]

looking forward to seeing more, if you're going to put it up, dan :]

Looks great, thats gonna be awesome when it's finished

Dan296 · 08-06-2007

my scheme is purple w/ flames along the front of the jetbikes and tanks (not guardians, that would b too awkward.)
i probrobly shouldve done an eldar WIP

Thats a cool idea for the base.

i must have missed this thread when it was first around....

i love the marine on the base and the weapon setup and bonnet(?) position really make the bike look cool!

good work

r4wr89 · 09-18-2007

looking forward to that finished product, dan ! i'm wondering though, how much of the marine is GSed? that looks like a lot of it, so great putty work :]

Dan296 · 09-18-2007

actually the only GSed part is the gaping hole in his chest and the end of his left arm (/stump)

SteveBerenyi · 09-18-2007
