juckto Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Did this army quickly for a tournament earlier this year. 95% of the work (i.e. everything except one of the squads) was done in 4 months. In fact, the vindicator and 2 of the rhinos were all painted within a single week, iirc - unfortunately my WIP thread has gone to internet heaven, so I can't double-check that.

nurglespuss Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi there, that vindicator (as others have pointed out) is particularly impressive!) I can't stop looking at it... Plus your photography skills are great too! Any chance of a talk through for the siege shield?

Brother Santios Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I've often looked as someone elses army and thought - very nice - but never looked and thought - god i'm jealous of the patience / skill / painting / basing .... grr everything .... awesome awesome minis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182215-1750-points-of-legion-of-the-damned/#findComment-2156124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaHat Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Absolutely wonderful! It is always a pleasure to see an army that is so well done and unique at the same time. Your attention to detail is simply a joy to behold! A quick question though. What is the army list you are using? How can you have more than one special weapon in a squad? I hope to see many more of your minis in the future! Two thumbs up from me!

FlamingDeth Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 That is bar none the most awesome vindicator I've seen to date. The skeleton in the loading claw is a particularly nice touch!

juckto Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah, well, the "tank only carrying a single spare shell, and in a place that blocks the door" never really made sense to me. So, as with all things 40k, I improved on it with something that makes less sense. The army list was Nurgle. Did pretty well too, got 5th in battle points and average in composition. Missed out on best painted by half a point, btw. Vindi blade was: get a box of skeletons, cut em up, glue em on, shove GS between them, and paint. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a329/juckto/Wh40k/LotD/th_vindi01.png http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a329/juckto/Wh40k/LotD/th_vindi02.png http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a329/juckto/Wh40k/LotD/th_vindi1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182215-1750-points-of-legion-of-the-damned/#findComment-2156161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A17roolz Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have a mini army of Legion of the Damned myself (back when they had a legal army in second edition), so I really love it when a LotD thread comes up. Awesome army, I especially love the Vindicator!

BobaHat Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Okay, it makes sense that you are using a Nugle list. ;) By the way, when I start a Mortifactors army in the future you can consider your ideas shamefully LOOTED! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182215-1750-points-of-legion-of-the-damned/#findComment-2156362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I remember most of these from earlier posts. Your flames look absolutely awesome. Any chance of a tutorial on those?

Tutteman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Woah! These are brilliant, the painting is great and the vindi siege shield is very nearly beyond words!...If I had a vindi, thats what I'd want it to look like.

Freakiq Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The Vindicator reminds me of my visit to the Sedlec bone church, you've successfully given me a chill up my spine.
