Librarian Biker

RAVENWING LIBRARIAN ON BIKE

 

 

Today I wanted to share my latest conversion for my Ravenwing Army - Librarian biker.  The chapter symbol for my army is the fleur-de-lis, so I will continue a strong "Bretonnian" theme throughout, in particular with my Black Knights who will act as the bodyguard.

 

 

The conversion is based on the Ravenwing Black Knight model.  I used the Grey Knight Torso and shoulder pads.  I took the giant book from the Ravenwing sprue to make it obvious.  I've started making a physic hood from a regular shoulder which I saw here:

I will finish the model with force axe from the Sanguinary Guard kit.

 

The new plastic Space Marine kits have made creating unique models a lot easier, as its more kit-bashing than converting.

 

The black knights are done and will be posted soon.  The next project after this will be the Techmarine biker.

 

Kor'sarro Khan Conversion

KOR'SARRO KHAN - PART 1

This is primary stage for my count-as Khan conversion.  I am planning to enter a painting competition on the 29th June, so that should be motivation to get this model finished.  I plan to assemble at the weekend.

Space Marine bikers are one my favourite models/themes in 40k - so I will be adding a White Scars allied detachment to my Ravenwing army.

I'll going for a Lion theme for this army and if anyone has any ideas for the Lion-themed storm shields to use for my command squad, any comments are more than welcome. 

Magnets: Stormraven Wings

Magnetising the Stormraven wings can be very handy for storage and transport without buying a custom foam case.

Step 1:  Glue the magnets in position.  I used "green-stuff" to keep them in place.  Then "colour" the top of the magnets with marker pen or a little paint.

Step 2:  Then dry fit the wings, so the pen on the top of the magnet will mark the position where you need to drill - to secure the other magnet.

Step 3: Drill about 2mm.  Don't worry about going too far.  Because of the flat surface on the other side, any mistakes can be easily repaired with putty.

Step 4:  Glue the magnets in place.

Step 5: Drill a hole and repeat Step 1 & 2

Step 6: Create a super-structure beneath the exhaust using bits and green stuff.  Only use 1 magnet in the middle.  Using 2 towards the back creates a moment and the front lifts up :,- (.  I need to add a 3rd to the front now.

Fin: The wings will not balance until the engines are glued in place, so don't worry if they don't stay in place.  I am going to spray the engines metal/silver before gluing in place.

Necron Destroyer Lord Conversion

I've never been that keen on the Necron Destroyer models, but rule-wise I think the Destroyer Lord works well in allied detachment with some Wraiths.  I will write a post on magnetising Wraiths for practical storage and transport.

I don't think the warscythe looks very graceful or aerodynamic.  I imagine the Necrons to be very effortless in their movement.  However, preferred enemy is too good to turn down so I can live with an awkward scythe.

An easy conversion overall - a standard Necron Tomblade with the Overlord's head & scythe from the Annihilation barge.
