Derek's Daemonhunters

The Brother Captain.

The squad.

I started these last night and just finished tonight.

Magnetized Tanks

Awhile back I bought 100 small magnets for like ten bucks,

just for this kinda thing.

Each tank is like forty bucks,

 but you have to chose which kind of tank you build.

So if I magnetize the options I can have both kinds of tanks.

And because each one has its own role on the battlefield,

I need both types.

The Predator for hunting troops and the Annihilator to hunt armor.

The three Predator tanks that got magnetized.

A Predator with autocannon and heavy bolter side sponsons.

A Predator Annihilator,

with a twin linked Lascannon and

 lascannon side sponsons.

A close-up of the magnets on the side

It was so simple to do,

 the side lascannons kept on breaking off, so I just cut the little arm off and replaced it with two magnets.

One for the side sponson and one for each weapon,

for a total of six for each tank.

The turret gun just slides in.

So for about twenty cents I saved $120.00.

GOT to LOVE it.

This time of year............

Been thinking 'bout this topic for a week or so..

And it seems that this is the best time of year for just 'bout everyone....

but me.

People ask.. 

"How ya doing?"

"Cold"

I reply.

"But it is such a beautiful day, the sky is clear n blue,

the pretty leaves, the reds, yellows and oranges....

the crisp air..

It's a great day."

I didn't say it was a horrible day,

a bad day,

an ugly day.

I said I was "Cold."

After the day time high drops below 68*.

I get cold.

I am kinda like a plant that way,

or may be a grizzly bear,

I want to start my hibernation cycle.

How can I explain?

Cold.

My blood sloows way down.

My finger and toes get stiff from lack of blood flow.

My core body temp drops.

Cold.

Sometimes my butt cheeks feel like that chuck roast that has been in the freezer for two weeks and now frost bite has set in.

Cold.

I work outside.

The most time people I know spend outside is going from their house to their car. Or car to the house.

I guess if I only spent 10 minuets a day total in the brisk, crisp, clear air of fall, I might like it better.

But as it is I am simply Cold.

The New Dreadnought

I have been working this past week on a few things and I thought I would be kind and share. 

Not much here, just the Black Reach Dreadnought

with a cool base.

And I have been working on a few others...

so on with the posting fury.

The New Termies Are Done.

I got the new Termies painted and based.

I converted one so he has a flamer.

And one with a cyclone launcher.

And I made the squad leader into a guy with a

 thunder hammer and combat shield. 

Black Reach Squad

I finally finished the Black Reach Squad.
I don't know why it took so long to do, I guess the thought of going through the process of painting them...... stopped me. I got the process down pretty good, and I could whip through pretty quick, Start with all blue, then paint in the black on each one, then the foundation yellow for the gold trim, then foundation gray for the white on each one,then red red red red, gold gold gold gold, white white white, sliver silver silver, .......and on and on it goes.

Six Fragin Grenade Throwers

This past week I finished the last guy for each of my six squads. I made them all with a grenade in their right hand.

That way I may remember that with the new codex everyone has frag and krak grenades.
