| Fire Support Adder with twin Anda Missile Pods |
This 15mm resin model of a hover light vehicle is made by
“The Ion Age” and is model IAF036B Yellow Adder Combat Lifter from the company’s
Prydian Army Vehicles range. As I wanted it to be a fire support Adder I assembled
it with (resin) twin Anda Missile Pods in a turret mount. The vehicle is an
impressive 60mm in length, 30mm wide and 35mm tall. In order to give the model
some additional protection I based it upon a large “Battlefront Miniatures”
plastic stand.

| Imperial Fist Company with fire support |
Because I am ‘modelling’ my Prydian Army upon the ‘Rogue
Trader’ Crimson Fist Space Marine Chapter I initially undercoated the vehicle
with two coats of “Vallejo” Heavy Blue. I then washed the entire model with “Citadel”
Nuln Oil. The Adder’s forward and rear hatches were then picked out with “Vallejo”
Heavy Red before being glazed in “Citadel” Bloodletter. I picked out the
vehicle’s sidelights and missiles with Ironbreaker and finally applied a “Warhammer
40K” Crimson Fist decal to its front.

| Adder Combat Lifter WIP - Just waiting to be tidied up before being washed with black shade |
Having completed the first of my Prydian Army vehicles, I
have already based and undercoated a second Adder Combat Lifter. But this time
armed it with a Hermit grenade Launcher in order for it to provide infantry
support.
Nice one mate, looks business.
ReplyDeleteCheers Chico, not as colourful as many of your wonderful vehicles but it ties in well with the rest of my 'chapter', and should look good on the tabletop for this weekend's BatRep ;-)
DeleteMy word simon, you've got some projects on the go! I love the mailed fist, a nod to the RAC perhaps?
ReplyDeleteAlways plenty on the go I'm afraid Michael. That's my problem (and your recent sojourn with Batman models isn't helping ;-) ). I don't actually know where "Games Workshop" got the idea for the Crimson Fists' emblem from I'm afraid. But I did think having such an emblem associated with the Royal Armoured Corps was rather fitting for such a big beastie.
DeleteThat's a fine looking model, Simon. I must admit that your Crimson Fists look a lot better than GW's Crimson Fists, even though they are different scales.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Bryan. A much appreciated comment :-) They're the iconic Space marines in my mind at least, and these "Ion Age" sculpts are terrific. At some point I'd like to dedicate a month to this range and really get a load ready for the table top.
DeleteA very effective paintjob that's provided good results.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roy. You know me, the simpler the better.
DeleteThat does look the business Simon, and is a lot nicer than a lot of the stuff GW is producing itself these days!
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thanks Roger. They are nice little resin vehicles and I've a whole box of them I really need to paint up. Big fan of the colour scheme too... blue and black wash. Simples :-)
DeleteLooks great mate. So many fab mini ranges so little time!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon. That is the problem these days. Too many figures and no where near enough time.
DeleteNice to see more love for these old school Crimson Fists!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai. Huge fan of the Crimson Fists... and they're going to need this sort of fire-power if they're to beat the xenomorphs they'll be encountering this weekend ;-)
