Carcharodons counts as Bjorn the Fellhanded: minor conversions.

Hi all.

Here they are some minor conversions I´ve made to a FW´s relic contemptor dreadnought to make him count as Bjorn the Fellhanded.

First of all, a close combat-y plasma cannon: Now that you can swap bjorn weapons I´ve decided to weaponize (more) a plasma cannon, and to make this I´ve added some talos bits to make it more menacing, and casually there was a talos bit which has many rivets, which is great cause it totally fits the carcharodons generally riveted look.

As you see the round part fits perfectly the plasma cannon frame.
The blade was attached filing the thing and using a drill to make its union more sturdy.

And voilá, a pretty menacing bladed plasma cannon.

Next I´ve riveted part of the torso, just for the fun of it and it looks pretty good.

After this, given that Bjorn has a 5++ save, I´ve added a radar thing in top of it, just to represent Bjorn is ever attuned with battlefield changes and is aware of all dangers around him... and because it looks similar to the AMS in Mechwarrior Online, a game I´m totally in love with.

I´ve also uber-riveted the left shoulder, to make it more carcharodons looking.

 Closer view:

And i´ve put also some trim and rivets in the right shoulder.

I hope to post painted pictures soon.

Carcharodons drop pod door with airbrush!

Here is my first attempt at paint something with an airbrush.

I primed it grey and preshaded it with black and white, after that I´ve painted it with light grey and matt medium.

After airbrush I made some chipping with a sponge and a darker grey and I like the effect achieved.

After that I painted the bottom parts black to match with the carcharodons theme and chipped it with boltgun metal (now leadbelcher) and mithril silver (I don´t now its new name) and painted some spirts with agrax earthshade wash under every rivet achieving a nice old and used effect.

Comments and criticism are welcome as ever.

Carcharodons: Counts as Belial/Arjac Rockfist (Asterion Moloch).

Here it is my carcharodons´count as Belial or Arjac Rockfist.

Whe mini is FW´s Asterion Moloc, chapter master of the Minotaurs, with the minotaurs symbols filed out (pretty hard work, by the way) and painted in carcharodons colours.

There is again the energised weapons effect (damn cell phone and his blurry photos...).

 The hammer.

It is a ver nice mini, and very fun to paint, full of nice details and it came perfectly cast so...

 A blurry view of the back of the mini.

In this shoulderpad I tried to make kind of a imperial eagle from the minotaurs chapter (although I think I didn´t successed at it)

What do you think?

Carcharodons: Counts as Azrael WIP.

Hello all, keeping up with the carcharodons stuff here it is my second tryout mini: a count as Azrael, chapter master of the Dark Angels.

I´ve used the captain mini in the dark crusade box because it carries a huge sword and a combiplasma (just as Azrael does), so it fits prefectly.
I´ve filed out the DA iconography as well as one talon of the sword, just to make it look as a Shark back fin (it looks nice in my opinion).

I´ve painted it in the same colours as the previous librarian, adding a bit of red for the garments and black for the cloak.

I´ve tried to achieve an energised sword effect where the electrodes of the sword are, it was made with watered down light turquoise and white, and I like the results.

What do you guys think?

New allied army: Carcharodons!

With the inclusion of allies in 6th edition I will be building a Carcharodons allied force that will hit the tabletop as Blood Angels, Space Wolves or Dark Angels as needed.

I´ve choose Carcharodons cause they seem to be an offspring of my beloved Raven Guard so it seems plausible the dudes running to aid his father chapter in times of need.
I´ve choose them also cause I love their fluff and looks.

Here is my first try at a carcharodons miniature: A librarian.
The mini is made from a sanguinary guard dude with some FW Severin Loth´s kit shoulderpads.
I´ve filed out the most obvious BA iconography trying to make it more vanilla.

It is painted before my airbrush junkie thing, so it is painted in GW colours and washes.
I like how this guy came out but I will be painting the carcharodons gray a bit paler so it contrasts a bit more with the black shoulderpads.
