Shortsonfire79 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Okay. So I have 14 metal models to clean all the flash off of..PAIN IN THE ASS!!! I finished the bodies of the Chapter Masters, and don't want to start on their arms, because they're on a solid piece of pewter..and my clippers are already in bad condition due to these first four models.. I was going through the stuff I got..and I found this. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_20871.jpg For one of my Vanguard Vets...If you notice, there wasn't enough pewter put into the mold...which means I get to call GW services to get a replacement (hopefully a whole model =-D ) but...I threw the box away yesterday while doing the garbage...so I don't have the number, I think it should be okay. Heres what my Librarian looks like. I had to re-straighten his staff thing, so it should be okay. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_20881.jpg I've also semi-started working on my Chapter Master, with this new commander boxed set =-D. Except I'm in need of a right armed Power Fist, and a BT torso w/ tabbard. I've already found the Power Fist I need, but the guy I'm going to be trading with can't make up his mind on what he wants from my pretty loose list of bitz. (by loose, I mean I don't really care about what I give for what I want.) But I still want the BT torso w/ tabbard. The list of things I'm looking for can be found here.

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 So I can't update without pictures. And I know you've all seen these before. But I'm still stoked. I've gotten almost all the flash removed from the bodies.. I might have missed a couple..but I'm sure I'm done. I've finished the jump packs too. Still using the ruined clippers. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_6419.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_6420.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_6421.jpg I'm really liking the pictures that this DSLR is taking. They're coming out sharper, without the necessary light. The flash is GREAT! (probably really <_< -ty compared to most) but its still hella good. It works well with what I need it for.

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 Okay..so there is definitely a lackage of posts coming from me, and you. Which makes both me..and me sad. Tomorrow Articwolf01 will be sleeping over (after tamale making at his house at 3.) so hopefully, I'll get a LOT of work done on the tactical squad. I don't know if I'll be telling him about the Christmas present thing... Its got the basecoat, but I don't know if I want to work on it while hes here...but I might. My magnets came in, by the way... So I'll eventually be able to finish the Land Raider Exterminus. Keep a weather eye on the horizon... (cuz thats apparently where I'll be coming from... ? =-p) Possible pictures tomorrow evening, maybe even of Articwolf01's Royal Redeemers. (if he ever starts them) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151978-royal-redeemers/page/3/#findComment-1814611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 @The Chaplain: Thanks man, me too =-D. I haven't called GW yet but I'm hoping they will. The first time I had a problem, (one of my Ravenwing bikers was missing a bolter) they sent me a whole new bike! The last time...(incident with the 100 'Nids and white spray) They wouldn't reimburse me. So I hope they will. @Captain Mick: Me neither man, but I'm still trying to remove all the friken flash off these things!?!?!. I think I'm going to do a bit of painting right now...maybe.

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 So..I just finished putting together all 14 models my sister gave me (sans heads on the Chapter Masters), I used some Green Stuff to fill gaps, which I never do. So I'm waiting for it to dry and harden. Then I'll wash all the models with warm, soapy water, because they feel kinda slippery. Then paint. This image has been resized.

I also have a combi-plasma..what I suspect is for the Sternguard with the combi-melta. Artic is here..but he forgot HIS STUFF!!!! So I gave him his Termie...but he's just watching utoob videos..so..

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Articwolf01 had a great idea for a Librarian. I'm working on it.

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I think the Librarian is finished. I was having trouble doing flames, so Articwolf01 did them. They turned out HELLA nice. So now we need like..80 librarians in our army, because he is hella good at doing fire...well..not 80..maybe 2.. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6621.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6620.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6619.jpg Counts as having a jetpack, with the flames coming out of his hands like jets...or...Iron Man-ish.

DextrousWombat Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 These are looking great! The Librarian with the flames is VERY well done. I have the other Librarian model (with the staff), personally its one of my favourites. The Sternguard and Vanguard models do look very nice straight out of the box and i wish i had money to buy both box sets. Im looking forward to seeing these with some paint. -Petey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151978-royal-redeemers/page/3/#findComment-1817774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks! Another replier!! Score! Thanks about the flames, I'll send that message along too. Yeah, all these metal minis look fantastic, but if you don't model or convert them, you'll have squads with two of the same guy. =-P I've come to realize, that its hard for people to comment on something that has no paint, but yet..when I finally finished my Terminators, nobody commented then either...

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 One day ago, I wanted to make the Royal Redeemers a successor chapter to the Iron Hands...but the fluff fit better with Imperial Fists. (gee, they're both hands..) This would have fit much better there, but its still pretty cool. I need to do more on the Servo-Harness, more detailing... Plasma-cutter, Flamethrower..his left hand counts as the second Servo-Arm. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6643.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6644.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6645.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6646.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151978-royal-redeemers/page/3/#findComment-1818974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 To bring this baby out of an 105 hour coma (a bigger number than 4 days). I figured I ought to show you my army as it stands. As you can see, nothing is done, except the Chaplain, who has a gloss finish. (once the squad is done, they'll get matted) The spray didn't really do much for the 14 metal models on the left. I've started highlighting Squad Benedictus. Brother Captain Breorin is currently in charge until I can get the bitz I need to construct Arduanus Isaac Selanus. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6803.jpg Looking good huh?

Shortsonfire79 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Pictureless update. I've been doing minimal Warhammering as of late, because my sister leaves back for New York on Sunday, so we're trying to get as much bonding as possible. Shes taking a nap right now..so I finally was able to coat my Sternguard black. phew. I was shoved from page 2, aallll the way back to page 6 in like..three days, because of this damn [LPC]. I think the mods should have made another sticky, like they did for the Call to the Imperium and Chaos. It would have been much more organized. As I'm entering my Sternguard into the LPC (which I finally broke, and signed up for), I want to get starting by the 15th the latest. I think that progress for these guys should be quick, because theres SO much detail, that it'll be faster doing that then doing black and blue highlights.

NemFX Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 LPC? Anyways.. Awesome looking army. If your going to go ahead with the yellow armour plate, can I suggest you alter the fluff so that they all have, for example, a yellow kneepad that they all share? Otherwise it will look random to anyone who just casually sees your army.

If your going to go ahead with the yellow armour plate, can I suggest you alter the fluff so that they all have, for example, a yellow kneepad that they all share? Otherwise it will look random to anyone who just casually sees your army. Librarium Painting Challange (all of the [LPC] posts) They're getting annoying if I say so myself =-D In the fluff, its stated that they have a yellow plate somewhere, wherever they want it. So it is sort of random. But it'll be randomly ordered..If you catch my drift. Never this thread before, but I do like. The colour secheme is very good. Never?! Well, thank you! DAMN to the depths with all these LPC posts, I didn't even know I got replies on this or my LRE threads. Yarrg. (I'm a space pirate) But, I did do some painting this evening. Watched Stardust with my family (its Okay...) and got the blues on my Sternguard based out. I also was able to do the highlights on two of . I will tell you, the light was less than adequate, as in, the tall lamp was 10 feet away from me, so I couldn't really see where or how I was painting. I have a LOT of touch ups to do...like usual. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_7143.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_7142.jpg I'm asking for C&C again. Its a necessity now. Edit: I might add, these are part of my contribution to the LPC, along with my 2nd Company Captain.
