This is possibly the worst print i have ever received from you. *email sent to shapeways wed 3rd june 2020* I'll post this here for you guys so you know what happened: heresy indeed, that's officially the last time i'm ever buying from shapeways again. the best way to show that was use of the rear def-plates from the lynx destroyer, as the chapter symbol leaves you in no doubt as to its role and loyalties. with this conversion I wanted to show that although built to stc template construction this firestorm is built to astartes tolerances and standards, for use exclusively by an astartes fleet. This vessel is intended to represent an astartes-run firestorm frigate.Īs you may or may not know already, the astartes fleet rules simply list these (and other imperial escorts) as 'rapid-strike craft'. This time the front one is the front panthera def-plate and the rear one the front lynx def-plate on a bit of sprue.īit confusing, yeah, but i wanted to be detailed in case anyone wants to replicate the conversions. there's a helian lance turret on there and an underslung novacannon to represent a lance and this one, again, uses the defence plates to keep the look of the classic marine fleet aesthetic. The right ship is the aforementioned zeus frigate, with a new prow, again taken from the centre of a helian launch bay but this time t'other way round. The front def-plates are actually the rear plates from a panthera destroyer and its rear plates come from a zeus frigate. The one on the left is a lynx destroyer with helian lances and a new prow built from the mid section of the helian launch bay. Ok, more work on escorts for my fledgling spaceshark battlegroup: I did the last couple of thunderhawks I had too as, with this ship being +/- a proxy for a gladius frigate(?), I intend to make up a ship to represent a strike cruiser soon. The width of the lynx destroyer lends itself to this conversion quite well as it straddles the lines between the imperial thin straight design aspects and the chaos flat wide ones. Its also handy that the infidel has a sharky toothy grin that adds to the whole effect. The ship is one of the vanguard lynx destroyers with a chaos infidel raider prow so as to blend chaos and imperial designs to portray a pre/heresy era astrtes vessel. then do the successive highlights like i do in my marines! and it don't end up half bad. If found the trick with this colourscheme is not to simply wash and drybrush successively but to wash nuln oil then only drybrush the basecoat back over. With the apparent success of transplanting my paint scheme of my 40k marines to epic scale I decided to see if it would translate to bfg scale:įINALLY! some bfg spacesharks that I'm happy with.
