Sandalphon Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Amazing work Avoghai the Caestus looks great! nice use of bone panelling to break it up :lol: the finished LRC looks brilliant - keep it up!

Master Avoghai Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 As promised, more pics http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2271.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2272.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2273.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2274.jpg I'd love to get a Caestus, but the only thing putting me off is the fact you can't put two squads of Terminators in it (unless the printed rules say otherwise) and just putting one squad with two characters, leaving three empty spaces, kinda defeats the object of taking it IMO. What are you planning to run yours with? I agree, I think that the 2 assault ramps should be dedicated to 2 different squads rather than only one. On the other hand, I find the 5" blast template a little over-the-top. Give him the hability to transport 2 squads (either 2x10 tacticals or 2x5 marines) and reduce the template to the 3" one and it would be perfect. For now I plan to deploy a chaplain with a DW squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2709924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It's a brutal beast of a model that's for sure. It's looking very good in DA colours though :o. I think the bones areas are a good way of breaking up the vast slabbed surfaces of DA green. So a good job. On the two squads thing, looking at these images: linky one linky two I can't see how two squads would fit in frankly as it looks like 5 power armoured models per 'arm' is optimum fit. How 10 termies might fit in is anyone's guess :huh:. ...and yes I know the model doesn't dictate the rules :). Has anyone used one of these? I've not seen one in action, and at £92 a throw I don't expect to see many :D.

Problem is : 1/the thing is twice as large as a LR 2/ the rules say that you can put 10 models in wether they're in PA OR in termi armour.. So yes you can already put 10 termis in a caestus... So I'd prefer them to be in 2 squads rather than just one...

So I'd prefer them to be in 2 squads rather than just one... And yes agreed that's very odd given in other transports termies take two spots. But it gets around the fixed squad size + attached ICs issue that would normally hamper a termy-armoured squad in a transport. Other than that I can't answer for FWs thinking there at all.

Brother Baphomet Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That looks really sweet now it's finished. Might have to get me one anyway. As they're supposed to be used for boarding actions and shock assaults, I guess that's their reasoning that you can fit a full 10 man termy squad in it. Doesn't really help us though as our max size is 5! Ah well, if I can't put two squads in I might put Belial and a Chaplain with them instead...

Wayward Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Fluffy explanation for the 10 whatever capacity of the Caestus: They have a huge inertial system for every passenger, to absorb the shock of the ramming, so its 10 men, no matter what suit they are in... BTW, thing is looking nice!!! It just renewed my motivation to do a scrathbuilded one ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2712053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, thing is looking nice!!! It just renewed my motivation to do a scrathbuilded one :D I think that makes sense. The Caestus likely has 10 harnesses that can be adjusted to accommodate both PA and TDA. However it ONLY has 10, and each marine needs to be racked. Ah well, if I can't put two squads in I might put Belial and a Chaplain with them instead... At least that fill it as much as possible and woe to the ship this thing rams if Belial and his command squad, accompanied by a Chaplain, are the ones charging forth.

Master Avoghai Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Well long time without posting due to the fact that I've painted several tings in the same time... However I see the end of my quest. I've just finished 5 veterans : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2316.jpg They'll be dispatched in several squads. The bolter/plasma will join his fellows in the company veterans squad. The vet sgt will lead the devastator squad that I've finished last saturday : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2317.jpg The PF will go in the chappy command squad (need to repair the flamer... he felt from the table a couple of weeks ago when I wanted to take a pic of him). The Champion and the Flamer will join Azrael's command squad. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2322.jpg 1st Bonus : What there's left to paint : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2325.jpg I'm quite satisfied of my painting speed cos, when you compare to the original pic of what I had to paint, you have to keep in mind that I've added one LR, one caestus and a squad of termi... 2nd Bonus : Like I've told you, my friend Hellbrandt grimm asked me to bring those 10000 pts of DA to face the same amount of orks... But the attraction of this Mega battle won't be the amount of points (though still impressive). He has planned to field a Titan Warlord and an Ork Mega Gargant to help those 2 massive armies... For those who haven't seen his topic on Warseer (and since warseer is down now) I show you what the Titan will look like : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Valhalla/1303479979226.jpg And the 1st phase of painting : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Valhalla/IMGP2279.jpg Seems that it will be fun huh? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2743378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Izrail Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Holy Heck! This is an amazing journey you've shown us! Can't wait to see the finished thing. You may have also convinced me on the spray paint. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2744037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 OK, all I want know is, what is your fluff for having a DA Titan. I have an (Armourcast) Reaver that I play with in Apoc Games, and I still have to justify it. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/pueriexdeus/DW1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2744069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Well for this battle there will be also one or 2 reavers and 3 standard gargants... We can easily imagine that the DA ask help from the legions titanicus to handle such opposition... It's'noy "DA titans" but rather "imperial ally" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2744217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Quick update to show the 5th veteran from the chappy's command squad. He felt down just before a pic session and I had to repair him. Now the command squad is almost ready, just 2 bases to paint. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2330.jpg And also a WIP of the Prometheus LR. I just have to make the green highlights to finish it. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2331.jpg After that I'll just have to paint 2 termis and it's done! :D And btw, Hellbrandt grimm has finished my "little" help from the Titan Legion too :D you can see it here (scroll down a little to see the painted version). To see the army I'll face, check his green skin topic (particulary the Megar gargant at the end) Of course, loads of pics of this godzillious battle after the Games day ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/4/#findComment-2751086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isiah Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Master Avoghai the Command squad and Promethius are awesome sauce.

Brother Kovash Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Avoghai you've put me to shame. I've got barely 1000 points of Deathwing painted. And that took me a month to complete. Unless I missed it before, did you post when this epic battle will take place?

Isiah Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 What is a basket case LR? Ah sorry Tanhausen, an English colloquialism... in this instance it means one that isn't in too good shape with bits missing, badly painted etc etc. I can't think of the Spanish equivalent ;) .

Tanhausen Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Itd be hecho asco, as in I would touch it with a 10 feet pole...or how the WC looks after some shawarma. Anyway, Avogai, we want more pics...When I got to my table I saw all the bikes in grey...primer and basecoating took all of my afternoon away.

Tanhausen Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 6 of them... And 1 AB... And a bike chaplain... And a LS... (sigh) I primed them grey and base coated black the armours. I'm trying a new system here, painting the (bike) + body (legs, torso, head) + front fender + arms/weapons/shoulder pads in sprue. That way, I'm hoping I'll actually go faster painting and neater, since I don't have so many pieces in the way. I'll post a WIP tonight if you guys want.
