Shiv Carnivore #2

 Another update from back in May that got lost somehow, my second Shiv tank.

Land Raider Proteus Achilles

I thought I published this back in May, but it seems I didn't, so here's a rather awesome 3D print. Taking the 40k Land Raider Achilles, and styling it for 30k!

Orthrus Destroyer WIP

Small piece to convert a Typhon into an Orthrus Destroyer from the fanmade 30k supplement, the Liber Centura. When I get a spare chassis I'll post more WIPs.

Iron Warrior Artillery WIP

I still need to print some new bits for these, to make the 'work' in my mind, including rear platform extensions. These will ultimately become Legion Basilisks and Medusas (I've made 2 of each) for my 30k Iron Warriors.

WIP World Eaters Castra Ferrum

Another clear-the-desk-WIP, a WE dreadnought/Hellbrute. I need to find where his arms have gone, but he might get a paint job next year if I decide to take my WE to one of the big events.

Malcador Defenders WIP

I intended to print two, but because I had failures, and just chose to reprint the whole file again I got left overs. In turn these racked up, until I have almost enough for a third tank - new hull and one track and we're off. I don't know which armies will get these, one will go to the Blood Pact I'm sure, the others will be split between 30k Militia forces (if we get new rules) or my 40k Lavuran Guard, which I'm thinking about reforming as an force from the 500 worlds - when I sort my fluff/headcanon out I'll post it here.

The 3rd one, it still needs GS work around the fighting compartment roof join.

Most likely the Blood Pact one

Maybe for a militia force?

Hellhammer WIP

This had to go to make some space - I did print a barrel but didn't really like it so I'll use the plastic one when I find my Shadowsword spares box. The coax gun fell off just before taking this photo too. I'm thinking this will be painted for the Blood Pact as the print has some issues, and is very rough - I'll hide that with extensive weathering.

Huge game at the Board Room cafe in Bridgnorth!

I haven't really got a lot of progress on IW to share since I'm still battling the very large terrain piece for November. I have got some photos of WIPs of projects that I've been clearing away to tidy up the project room, and so I'll share those over the next few days.  Those are things for next year most likely. However, for the last two days I've been at a huge game at the Board Room in Bridgnorth. Great place, with very friendly and helpful staff. The game was run by Matt, who I didn't know before this weekend, but whom I will be seeing again in November, which is awesome, as he's someone who really gets my idea of what gaming should be about - fun narrative and with a great crowd. 

We had three tables, city, desert and jungle with the forces of the Imperium and Aeldari battling an unholy alliance of Chaos and Necrons across all 3. The forces were immense with appearances from Titan Legios, Grey Knights, Arbites, Imperial Fists, Militarum along with the aforementioned xenos and my IW.

I'm gushing, but it was one of the best events I've been to in years, we were all playing for the best things narratively and doing what felt right and fun - cracking crowd, and I'm already looking forward to next year.  

When all the photos are shared online, I'll post a link here, but in the meantime, here's just a few shots of my army I took to help me think about positioning for November - like don't put a dreadnought with 6" move at the back!

Over 15,000 points of IW and Legio Mortis!

The hated Imperial Fists (played by Max, a super opponent)

The Arbites and Penal Legion from the other Matt - the police vehicles had working lights!!!

Looking towards the desert then jungle tables

Traffic jam!

See what I mean about positioning!

The civilised way to attend an event! I had to buy a load of new bungee cords as mine have gone walkabout!

Twindicators

Paint is now on the 3D printed, kitbashed Vindicators!

Rhino Flail

As promised, the last of the Rhino Engineer tanks. I have a logistics tank, but that'll not be done before, November, too much else to do - and now I'm on another secret project for the event - I need to take some more time off else I'll never be done in time.
