Because fuck GW's vehicle kits, they're awful to build and expensive
logic goes their Rhino STC was corrupted beyond use, so they bought some "ancient technology" from the Dark Mechanicus
turns out the Pz.IV chassis is still pretty good when made out of M41 materials
Add some more fancy stuff
and that'll look right good
yeah they're still very much WIP
the vinyl tracks didn't last long with TT use
so now I'm looking at buying white metal tracks and just fucking up my wallet's shit
$50 a set
but ostketten will look fucking tasty on them
yeah that will be nice at the end. I have a Carnodon from fw as my only wip atm
I'm abysmally slow at painting so pretty much everything is on the backlog
really need to finish chopping up the second Jag into a Rhino and throw at least some base colours on them
going with the standard german grey since the whole army is blitzkrieg/urban themed Iron Warriors
I got a metal barrel and muzzle for the Pz.IV's long 75
got some of those in PaK 40 kits years ago and never looked back since
no seam lines, perfect machined precision, they're delicious
also stuck a meltagun on the turret pintle since I run it stock with just the A/C and a combi-melta for popping stuff up close
it's cheap and makes a good distraction/mobile cover while my Rhinos filled with angry get into position
I have a huge guard army thats mostly painted
I need to finish my kriegers off
and then finish my death army off
then finish repainting my ultramarines
cause all their unitmarkings are getting upgraded from HH company format to 40k company format
I'm trying to be disciplined
This is 12 years of hobbying tbh
I've wanted to do a DarkMech force ever since Admech came out
hah
Oh I have an admech force as well
forgot about that
well I'm not sure it counts but I've been in the game for... 15 years
Its like 2k or something
a solid 8 of that was a hiatus from being sick of GW's shit though
some FW 30k admech stuff
most is 40k tho
I use em allies
GW are a neccessary evil the way I see it
I don't like the way they use CAD etc now
I don't hate the CAD minis
