14th Grand Company

So I finally got around to taking pictures of my finished models to post up here. So without further ado, my 14th Grand Company’s Baneblade:

The skull icon on the tank’s front left is from the Dark Elf warrior sprue. I have been using this as my army icon badge.

Even though I had plenty of other units to build and paint to even field a full 1750pt game I was too excited for the Baneblade. I spent many a hour putting this massive and amazing kit together. It was the little details that really made this model shine, the gun barrels are already hollow (no drilling out needed), each panel is covered in rivets, hatch access points and unfortunately Aquillas. I spent about half my time scraping of this symbols of the corpse fool and replacing them with Chaos stars and army markings.

I did run into one issue, the right side of the main turret was missing from the box. I went back the GW store and they generously opened a new box and gave me the missing piece (I think they are going to build a Skull Hamma’ from the rest of it).

Once I get some more details and Chaos add-ons I will post some pictures!

Yesterday was my birthday and my wonderful wife gifted me with two great presents for the 14th GC.  The first is the Chaos Lord on Juggernaut (fantasy model) which I will be converting into my War Smith (look for WIP posts in the time to come). If this wasn’t awesome enough she also presented me with my very own Bane Blade to demonstrate the 14th’s great power.

Although I have plenty on my to-do list for the army, both of these models may have just out placed them all.
