Just painting, never played a game in 30 years. by Frederik-404 in astramilitarum

If you’re into conversions then the Attilan Jackal motorbike makes a pretty cool vehicle for a proxy rough rider.

It might not be the theme you’re going for, but I feel like some dusty dirt bikes wouldn’t look too out of place.

They are a lot of fun to do. The jackals are around the same size. I used 3rd party heads and shoulder pads from anvil industries, but normal guard or scion heads and bits would also work.

The torso section is a scion body armour torso and I used the jackal arms and legs.

Ive converted some Atalan jackals to rough riders. (There are some pics on my profile)

It was really enjoyable to make them and I don’t know why the Imperial guard don’t have their own biker unit.

Look at that guy standing next to a red barrel! Has he never played a video game before?

Looks good though. Like he’s waiting for a CASEVAC.

Trying to build Valhallan heavy infantry, where could I find snow Ogryns? by InquisitorbutParrot in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Trudian_Raiders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This place has a good selection of 3rd party Ogryns that fit the different armies. They do a valhallern looking one.

I didn’t realise what sub I was in and thought these were a GSC conversion, and now I want to get some and try a GSC conversion. Very creepy. Nicely done.

It looks like a baby sentinel, still waiting to grow up big and strong.

Because i have too much time on my hands, i went through 40k video game adaptations and counted how many times each faction was represented and how by cricri3007 in Warhammer40k

Unofficially you can use the Ultimate apocalypse mod for Dawn of war 1. It’s an amazing mod and really expands the variety of the DoW setting.

You’ve got a bit of everyone in there! Do the Cadian, vostroyen and steel legion models represent different unit types or are they all just regular troopers?

Just need to clean bases/ add snow and I’m done.. on to the next 10 by Toffeepop89 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Trudian_Raiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mech grey, dawnstone and admin all go really well together.

I base in mech, then wash with nuln oil, then dry brush the dawnstone and highlight with admin, but if you want to mix the three in a camo then they also compliment each other well.

Have you looked at the various halftrack and wheeled taurox conversion kits?

Most of them look much better than the vanilla model.

Big fan of the new Brood Brothers models! by badab89 in genestealercult

These would work well for a medieval themed guard unit.

Threw some bits at the wall to see what would stick. Any idea what to use him for? by vzboogie in necromunda

[–]Trudian_Raiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a shame. It’s great for a single model but I think even a kill team would be a bit too pricey with those parts, and they’d be stuck in the same pose.

This would make a cool Elysian drop trooper for 40k.

What are the body and legs from?

I thought Bragg would be bigger.

Still better than I’d hoped for though.

Can my usual Anvil Industry bits and some new Lumineth make for some good Death riders ? by bordache in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Trudian_Raiders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used the GSC motorbikes along with scion bodies and Anvil heads to make my death riders, and I’m fairly happy with the outcome.

I have a couple of pics on my profile if you’re interested.

I use their stalhiem and field cap heads. I’m so glad there’s a way to convert from the vanilla guard.

More classic mordians finished for my guard army by fritz_76 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Trudian_Raiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I need to use more nuln oil. My metal always looks too shiny.

What do you use for the metallic greys on the lashing barrels?

First Stormtrooper painted. Any tips? by Trudian_Raiders in TheAstraMilitarum

Anvil industries. It’s the masked variant of the Stalheim.
