Thank's bdave351.
That reminds me to post some new images.
I did some Squats to check the army list.
I startet with Iron Eagles, because it was the unit I had a vision of. It should be more like a Russian Battle Helicopter, less like a Fantasy Dwarf Airboat.
The images show the models larger than life. They are painted in blocky colors and washed liberally to show the detail. They are still glossy. This might change in the future. I might also try to get rid of the puddles of wash.
I gave the models all the main armament they have according to the army list.
This shows prominently with the overlord.
It's basically 2 Iron Eagles joined and stretched. The composition has been converted to a Quadcopter, giving it a distinct shape.
I like the the Thunderfire cannons. They a surprisingly versatile. Looking at the stats, they remind me of an 88.
They look the part. They are very high, because the models are designed so that the barrel could point straight to heaven. The barrel did pivot and swivel until I trenched it with wash. The models had been designed ahead of the infantry, so there is no crew yet.
The Rhino is a standard Rhino, without insignia.
First Warengine would be the Mega Cannon. This is the second try. The first one was more like an armoured howitzer. It was terrible. This design looks more like a Macro Cannon and still looks fragile enough to show why it has a save of 6+ besides being a gigantic warmachine.
The other warengine is the Leviathan.
Like the other miniatures the model features all the main weapons listed in the profile. The battle cannon is mounted in an modified Predator turret. The twin Lascannons and mounts are from the Landraider. The Main Cannon ist derived from the Mega Cannon.
The chassis itself is a stretched Landraider chassis with a custom superstructure to hold the MegaCannon and give some additional space for passengers. This creates a familiar imperial look.
The infantry is really squat.They are much wider and shorter than ordinary infantry models.
I decided to do them as "ordinary" semi-modern infantry, no Dwarfs and no Southern Bikers. They carry Lasguns and Missile Launchers.
The 6+ save is due to a flak vest.
There are 6 different models in total, 3 with Lasguns and 3 with Missile Launchers.
The Hearthguard models have a slightly better armor, but are no Marines. They have no Missile Launchers nor Lasguns, but some short ranged weapon.
I gave them a rather stiff round armor thing reminiscent of WWI armor, and the helmet is no longer open, but has a metal visor.
I put the LasCannon of the Rapier on a chassis which is remote controlled by an soldier. He is joined by two comrades to fill up the base.
The Warlord stand consists of a Heartguard weaponsteam (2 guys and an Autocannon) and two guys in traditional costume.
That's what I have so far. It is not so much driven by army composition, but models printed per print run.
Have a nice weekend.
