Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hey guys it's been a good while since I have posted anything here. I actually took a little break from the hobby for a span on 5 months if not a little more. Si now I am working slowly on a few things and completing a couple of challenges issued by a friend of mine. The first one is to finish at least 1500pts of a single army. So I took some time finding one that I'd have fun playing regardless of how cheesy it is. So I started some Blood Angels. Death Company list: 1500 pts Astorath the Grim 220 pts Death Company 420 pts 10 Death Company, Jump packs, 3 infernus pistols, powerfist, Lemartes 150 pts Death Company 420 pts 10 Death Company, Jump packs, 3 infernus pistols, powerfist, Death Company Dreadnought 135 pts Blood Talons, Heavy Flamer Death Company Dreadnought 135 pts Blood Talons, Heavy Flamer Total: 1480 pts 22 models, 2 tanks Low model count and a cheese list of almost no shooting. I don't take it seriously it was meant for me to just have fun playing from time to time. Now onto the models I have started including a unit not in the list. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/DSCN0962.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/DSCN0966.jpg I'll start building Astorath tomorrow and begin painting the DC. I'll also get better pics of the Terminators since they have been finished since the poor picture. So I need your encouragement to keep me going! :eek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 this looks great :eek, are the plastics pinned to the cork? or do they have enough grip on their own? in fact how/where do you get such good cork for your bases they look insane!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You don't need encouragement. You need more friends who will issue such challenges. This one seems to be working so far. Better pictures of termies, colour scheme and cork bases please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 The plastic has enough grip when using super glue to hold it down to the cork. :) The cork is just $5 corkboard bought at a local hobby store and then broken into pieces and glued down. I'll have better pics and more work done on stuff today so stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboli Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 looks nice. but i want more pics ;) the DC with the zerker head looks awesome, hope the rest of the army will also do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Double post but I forgot to include these. Some other stuff I did recently well recently and at the space wolf release. Bring the heat painting contest: http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Contest/DSCN0972.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Contest/DSCN0974.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Contest/DSCN0975.jpg Changling random thing using extra GS. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Contest/DSCN0987.jpg And finally a Space Wolf statue I did for the store's display. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Contest/DSCN0979.jpg Enjoy!

Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Alright, well today I began painting Astorath at home meaning i could only work on a few parts. So after a few hours of labourous painting in the heat here is where he stands. The black is only a wash or two from being complete. The red is just basecoated. I'm pretty happy with the way he is coming out. Unfortunately my lamp is recharging on the other side of the room so I have to wait to continue painting. But here are pictures. Enjoy and C&C http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/DSCN1007.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/DSCN1003.jpg The armour has a lot more contrast. unfortunately my camera doesn't do a great job of picking that up. I'll have my better camera by the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son Of Moriar Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 looks nice. but i want more pics :lol: the DC with the zerker head looks awesome, hope the rest of the army will also do ;) I kneel at the altar of purely awesome hoping that a ray of enlightenment may shine in my direction. Seriously amazing stuff m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well the awesomeness comes purely from the basing I suppose. :lol: Other than that they're straight from the DC box with a few random bits here and there. But I can do a tutorial on the basing if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks mate! I'll have some more pictures up shortly. I now have enough Death Company to run the list, well I still need two Dreadnoughts. Oh and I rand my 1K Sanguinary Guard list and managed to win against 65 Orks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Alright, got the pics uploaded from my phone so now I can show you all! :D Haha First off is a group shot of everything that is built so far. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/8db2c89c.jpg Then we have the first 10 DC Marines http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/58891b71.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/ee93142b.jpg Now the newest 5 built. 5 more to go. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/45db9ef2.jpg And another Terminator pic. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/b4c4878f.jpg I think that is the first pic I have posted that really shows the colours.

Shortsonfire79 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Man, my friend wants to do the 8th Company of my chapter, and now that hes seen a couple of pictures of your Assault Marines, in number, he really wants to do it. All of you guys with jetpacks just look awesome. Now....paint them, lightning fast like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Haha he really should! :P Have him post them here too! lol :) I still have 5 to build then I can start painting. I'm also tweaking the Sanguinary Guard list and making it larger. But still every model in my BA army will be jump infantry for the time being minus 2 Dreadnoughts. I'll have them all primed and hopefully basecoated tonight. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks for the info on the cork, seems like a really good cheap way of basing are you not using the new blood angels style jump packs (or is that only on a specific kit you havent included?) but on to ANOTHER question on basing :lol: for the Bring the heat painting contest model is the slate made from slate or tree bark or what? But that Space Wolves statue is awesome you dont see that model much anymore, the the shop find it for you or did you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Alright, I'll respond to the questions in order! :devil: lol First: The winged Jump packs come in the Sanguinary Guard box, I will only be using them on the Characters in this list, the regular RAF will have normal Death Company Backpacks. In my Sanguinary Guard list they will still use the winged packs. :devil: Two: The slate is tree bark I ran over with the lawn mower. The bark plus the stick where glued down then I applied Wood Filler to give the base more texture and fill the gaps that straight flock would not. Then based it with GW Sand. Three: The model is from my personal collection. :devil: So is the Njal Stormcaller model behind him which can be found here. http://coolminiornot.com/233382 On another note, I tweaked my Sanguinary Guard list up to 1500 pts. It now looks pretty nasty. Yesterday's work saw the assembly and cleaning of the last 5 DC models. Today I'll finish their bases and prime them. Pictures in a few hours.

Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Everyone is now primed! :) http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/72468d6c.jpg I'm making good pace, which is good since I will be gone for a week.

Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 And I have a little treat for you guys now that I'm out of town. I snapped a pic of the pip Dreadnoughts as I left for the airport. It's pretty blurry but at least its better than nothing! http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/03abf0b5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Major update. It seems I have been to forgetful and not returned to this thread to update it with pictures. So in one massive update. Astorath is almost complete, just basing and his backpack. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/blood%20angels/0c5453a2.jpg New picture of a Black Templar Emperors Champion I made a year ago. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/Personal%20Armies/Black%20Templars/Emperors%20Champion/89da3d0c.jpg And the finished body and face PIP of my Daemon Prince Dual. http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/dfb768de.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/730a7448.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/84aff4aa.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/f6b9ef01.jpg http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/WarForgeStudios/97cb0e1c.jpg Better pictures to follow.

Ramza Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hey Master Chaplain this is an awesome BA army you have got going on here. Those terminators are the best I have seen, it just goes to show how a simple pose can make the most out of a miniature. Two question I have for you is, are the robes on the termies sculpted using GS? Also are the belts that the robes are attached to scratchbuilt as well? Cheers Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Cheers mate, the robes weren't originally my idea, someone else on here used them. They're conversion bits from Micro Art Studios. http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/crusade...4.html?cPath=45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
