Now, this is probably THE model that got me interested in GW. I love this model to death and I super excited to have finally gotten a hold of it.

Techmarine
Currently working on a techmarine, as I'll be needing him to repair the slew of Land Raiders and Dreadnoughts my Deathwing will be having. I started this army from the get go as an Apoc force, and I plan to end up with a full company. Lots and lots of tanks and dreads.
Now, this is probably THE model that got me interested in GW. I love this model to death and I super excited to have finally gotten a hold of it.

Kit-bashed Damoclese Command Rhino
I found a rhino from my failed Blood Angels project, and dedcided to build a Damoclese for apoc/friendly games. Made from bits from the Bastion, Rhino (of course) and some doors that I am not to sure of where they came from, only that I have them.
The Sarge sure digs the treads

Assault Cannon Razorback conversion
Heres a conversion I did awhile ago, using the rhino from the Blood Angels battleforce, the assault cannon from the Land Raider Crusader that I destroyed for a trerrain piece, and a bit of elbow grease.
Here is how it came out, unpainted So far:
Now, how did I do it? Well, the first thing you will need, if you have them lying around, around:
A saw and file, I used these, specifically:
And after you get these, you'll need an assault cannon. I used the bits from the LRC, and hacked off the ammo chain thing it had on the bottom. Alon with that, I sawed down the inside edges of the two cannons to allow them to fit over item three, specifically the turret mount from the Imperial Bastion kit. Making sure they fit snuggly over the center bar, as this will serve as the anchor to keep the guns on the razorback. Apply some glue and you'll get something like this:
And that is ready to fit on the Razorback weapon mount roof option from the Rhino/Razorback kit. Congratulations! You now have an effective,WYSIWYG, and, if you have tons of buts lying around like I do, cheap, conversion for an awesome vehicle.

Apocalypse, 20,000 points, The Xenos assault on Fort Walton
Here are the pictures, and highlights, of our 20,000 point Apoc game, the teams where:
( I played using Mike Monigan's Tyranids) XENOS: 5,000 point Tyranids, 5,000 point Orks, 2 Stompas
IMPERIALS: 2,500 point Scout Marines, 1 Warlord-Class Imperator Titan, 1 Warhound-class Scout Titan, 2,500+ points Blood Angels (they where painted green)
The armies and deployment:
some stuff happening, including:
Our entire left flank being wiped out by a Titan fire, the stompas doing jack, and Scoutguy mocking us:
the scene of the bloody battle and the xenos retreat at the end of the game:

Dark Eldar Wracks, Blood Angels Librarian and High Examplar Kreoss
The line up today:
Wracks, made from random Dark Eldar kits (mainly wyches/Kabalites), wads of green stuff, and Empire Flaggelants.
I have several more of these guys, but most are primed black, and I wanted to show the conversion work involved. What I did was filed the neck down on the collars on the Flaggie torso, then cut of the round neck-stub from the DE heads and then glued them on. Now, they each have varius oddities on them, as I wanted to convey that the Haemunculus making them was just bored, and was messing around on his servants for kicks.
Codicer Varro, A Space Marine Librarian I had lying around.
I wanted to show that this guy has been in the thick of the fighting for a while, so I drilled several holes in his armor, "bullet holes", cut up his face, using a mix of scab and blood red, with some Dwarf Flesh, as well as dirtying up the model with Devlan Mud and Badab Black.
The Force weapon was an exercise in lighting, and I think its glowy look turned out well.
High Examplar Kreoss, first painted Warmachine fig, and exercise in the frustration of painting white.
This guy really exemplified the biggest issue I have with PP models, and that is that the details on them tend to be very shallow, and even a slightly thick basecoat will make you lose a lot of them. However, this was a blast to paint. The flowing robes give lots of opportunity for shading practice, and there are plenty of pieces of armor to practice metals on. The fire I sculpted from some Green Stuff.
