I'm Baaaaaack!

Hello one more time from the land of the seriously sporadic posters!  For those of you that know me, you'll understand that military life is seldom predictable and sometimes you have to put life on hold for a bit.........  And although I've been back for a while I haven't had the time to update this blog, so again I apologize.  Of course I haven't been idle all this time I've finished putting together 25 terminators for the First company (pictures to come) and have started painting the second and third squad of terminators.  I've also painted the inside of their Land Raider Crusader and finished the conversion for the Dreadnought right arm TL Autocannons.  Having said that, most of my limited hobby time has been spent in modelling and conversions.  Here is a sampling of two conversions I made inspired by some great "Forgeworld" kits.

The first one is my version of a Pre-Heresy Predator Destructor Mk-III.  After seeing Forgeworld's awesome pre-heresy kits for both the "Predator" and the "Rhino", I decided to take a stab at converting my own pre-heresy predator.  I didn't like very much the original Mk-I Predator (although FW's version looks really good) so I decided to convert my own Mk-III Predator Destructor inspired on both the original metal Destructor kit and the new FW resin Mk-I kit.  Let me know what you think?

I also love the Landspeeder Tempest model.  I really liked the enclosed cockpit configuration, so I decided to convert one of my old Landspeeders into a Tempest but with weapons that were allowable in the current DA codex. 

As always any and all constructive criticism is welcomed.  Again sorry for the lack of updates, but with me back on track on finishing this army, and the rumors that DA are getting a new codex soon, the Red Scorpions first company will rise again!
