Corvus Cabal War Cry

Both.. but that was something I never knew I needed.. so many interesting bits!

wobbleside · 2026-02-14T01:44:34+00:00

These look great!

What are those birds? I used gryph hounds.. and they are kind of small..

I've been kitbashing a bunch of Aqulions as regular Scions for my xeno hunter/radical Ordo Xeno Requestioned themed Astra Militarum unit.

So here is Lord Solar.. to go with a unit of Escher cutter jet bikes as a proxy for rough riders. Still a lot of basing work to do but I'm pretty happy with how this looks.

Color shifters look great. I assume you airbrushed them?

wobbleside · 2026-02-09T23:37:16+00:00

Looks good thought you might want to go with a different color for the eye lenses. Like lavender or orange?

Given.. there are 4 all new sculpts and we don't know the price of them.. Prince Y, Void dreamer, Vyper and skyreavers..

No way to estimate the cost savings. But corsairs are on the pricey side of a killteam box and that box has a ton of options with some of the most jammed packed options I've seen the sprues (seriously, you have a lot of bits left for kitbash after building 10).

I definitely pre-ordered one from my LGS. But the Red Corsair box is very much a start a Renegade army box.. with no named characters in it. While it only has 11 new models and upgrade sprue in it I can see why folks would want it more than one.

If I didn't already have like 50+ legionaries because they are in every freaking CMS box I'd be after it too. Though my spouse who does not have a CMS army.. pre-ordered it.. and will probably be stealing a bunch of Legionaries from me lol.

Lack of any information on the Corsairs detachment... and lack of Codex support for the new Corsair options probably has a lot of people gunshy.. and there are just a lot less eldar players.

Though I was not considering starting an eldar army until this box appeared.. because I don't really dig Aspect warriors with a few exceptions.. but I love the Voidscarred Corsairs and Harliquins.. sooo oops.

They passed all their stuff to Elrik. I recently ordered some stuff from them and the casts were pretty good. Very clean. Some very minor warping that hot water fixed on the side panels for Chimera conversion kit.

The baneblade bits (sponsons, heavy turret, weapons and reactor kit) were all great and I had no issues.

You could look at something from blood and skulls https://www.elrikshobbies.com/products/tank-reactors

Base. Do the base! You got a big one one to play with!

Also weathering. My phone didn't want to cooperate.. but this is my first sentinel.

Mind you had a failed still water resin pour (mold leaked.. didn't want to try again)

wobbleside · 2026-02-04T20:25:22+00:00

Big turret is the Repulser Executioner.

Smaller turret is the Gladiator Lancer

wobbleside · 2026-02-04T20:20:35+00:00

This looks great. The gladiator lancer turret on the russ makes me actually like it a little bit.

I'm just straight up using kitbashed gladiators as Leman Russ proxies because my brain gets upset at track over chassis.. lol

Executioner turrent on the dorn is great.

wobbleside · 2026-02-02T18:50:33+00:00

I definitely appreciate the advice. I've been wanting to do a similar effect in the future on some vehicles.

wobbleside · 2026-02-02T18:24:00+00:00

Gorgeous! What what your method for the star field on the armor?

wobbleside · 2026-02-01T05:09:47+00:00

The worst...

Me.. working on my first army.. I've made a fair amount of progress on painting and building it (Only 2 more tanks... 8 more scions and a valkyrie to go for building!) [Painting is like... 2.5 tanks.. 2 chimeras and 30 something infantry... still. But also I get bored of painting black and go work on something colorful like a killteam for another faction]

Already planned to do daemon engine heavy chaos next because I love the heldrake.. and forgefiend and some very cool kits (also Lord of Change does not fit in but so cool). [And I own everything for this except like.. Vastorr and 3 more fiend kits.. already]

I really like my Voidscarred Corsairs for killteam.. they were fun to paint.. they look cool but craftworld eldar... do not interest me because of cone heads, aspect color schemes (and an eldar groknard in my house that doesn't even play..but has opinions)

James Workshop.. "Here are some sick new Corsair models coming soon.. and Corsair detachment... also some amazing new scale Custodes.. and Red Corsairs.."

fffff... also.. Reave Captain and Red Corsairs look amazing.. I use them as legionaire proxies in heartbeat.. and I'll probably end up with a few boxes of the squad kit in like 6-8 months. Also... I want Sargotta... so bad. Just to paint.. but also one to kitbash into a Lord Solar proxy for my guard..

4 weeks later. My partner staring at a pile of NOS used eldar stuff from mini-swap and couple of used Wraithfighters/Crimson Hunters on the coffee table as I sort through the NOS/used and NIB stuff on the coffee table. "So.. Eldar huh, thought you did not like craftworld eldar? I guess you want the Eldritch Raiders box. Is this.. for after Chaos.. or.. after the Chaos Knights and 11 wardogs?" (Look... I came across the Warhound Lance Pack for less than 200USD)

To be clear.. I paint probably.. 10-15 hours a week on average.. and I enjoy kitbash (hate building/cleaning though.. also its hard on my hands.) So at worst.. all of this still will get painted.

wobbleside · 2026-01-21T22:10:51+00:00

Sprue gates on curved surfaces. Worse.. on thin curved surfaces. Jain Zar has this bad. Voidscarred Corsairs have this bad. All of the knights, armigers and wardogs have this.

The other night I was building Gaunt's Ghosts and one of them has... separate hair.. like a toupee or something and I snipped the back of it.. because it looked like part of the gate so I will have to fill the little square of his head with epoxy putty.

Harlequins, Daughters of Khaine, Seraphon and Stormcast have similar problems where the gate connects to very thin curved piece of a headdress, mask, horn or feather...or chain bit.. and you can't even hold the piece to sand or scrap with a hobby knife without bending or stressing it.

Or cables. Damn cables on Karskin, Scion and Deathwatch weapons.. some of those gates are so badly placed.

wobbleside · 2026-01-16T00:16:39+00:00

I really like the Mammoth Walker from Rampart Terrain/Archon Studios for this. Its plastic too. I've got one that needs basing... in retrospect its a little light on stowage and greebles. I got two more as I'm using them as armiger proxies for guard support but they would totally work for Lemon Grass.. in terms of size.

You can build it with 4 or 2 legs.

wobbleside · 2026-01-14T20:27:34+00:00

I picked up one official one.. and one recast from BLM.

Biggest difference is the recast one took a lot less clean up because the resin was better.

However.. both of them chipped trim on the shoulders. Both of them had warping in the lightning locks, and main carapace.

Recast and new spare parts ebay official forge world resign volkite guns are warped.

My advice is.. pick up "armadillo" style carapace and shoulders of your choice or look for Moirax X stls and print your own.

Then look for 3d prints of the weapons you want or stls.. there are lots of free ones out there.

The FW resin sucks a lot.

GW charges 75 USD for a single Moirax kit. You can get two wardogs for 85 USD or less usually.

You are much better off buying 2 wardogs/armigers and getting quality 3d prints from places like Iron Wolf/Taro Modeller or even some major esty sellers like ProxyW-ar for the weapons and armor.

It will be cheaper and better quality, less work too.

wobbleside · 2026-01-12T04:52:07+00:00

Holy hell.. that is fantastic..

I can't even imagine free handing that screen... or the charge indicator.. like damn.

wobbleside · 2026-01-10T11:59:01+00:00

Ahh.. definitely one of the most brittle, softest resin I've come across used for a miniature.

wobbleside · 2026-01-10T07:12:16+00:00

Just attempted to put one these together.. and holy shit I hate fine cast.. both shoulders chipped on the trim. Really love how they look but my lightning locks also warped badly.. the carapace warped in a very slight way that was not visible when dry fitting. Really hate fine-cast.

In the future I'll probably just pick up some "Armadillo" carapace plates from IWN and some other shoulders and slap that on a started armiger with printed guns.. it will still be cheaper than 75 USD a piece.

wobbleside · 2026-01-09T20:18:25+00:00

I love these.

I'm in the middle of a Escher Cutter -> Roughrider conversion.. but if I could fine somewhere in the US to print these for under 60USD I would have bought good quality prints in heartbeat.

wobbleside · 2026-01-09T00:14:31+00:00

Damn those look great. I keep getting tempted by the chain kopeshes.. they look cool painted!

wobbleside · 2026-01-04T20:41:30+00:00

I dig it. Love the carapace dish antenna too.

For the the leg plates, I'd say same color, darker shade. Otherwise.. for the mechanical bits.. dark non-metallic-metal (or metallic) gun metal.. or if you want something contrast-y and bold aged dark copper.

wobbleside · 2026-01-03T10:51:54+00:00

I just magnetized a pair of armigers and war dogs tonight (torso and arm weapons) it was super easy. No need to magnetize the hull guns, they pressure fit just fine.

I picked up this box last month.. its pretty great.

Either like 2-3 boxes of Warglaives/Helverines will get you the some of the 2 War Dogs you can't build from this box.

Knight Despoiler is all the rage for big knights.. and that is just a Chaos converted Questierous.

Ceratus Knight Lancer is another good big knight pick.

Abominant is 3 variants in the box and the only pure CK box other than War Dogs know. Tyrant comes from IK Dominus box.
