sideshowscott Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi people I have collected a vast amount of speeders over the past two years of playing 40k, but have never painted them. However the club that I belong to have a strict painted only policy, and play what you see is what you get. It works really well because it motivates me to paint and think about what I arm the models with. So I have decided to introduce one of the two storm that I own and thought that I would share this "work in progress" report and see what responce I get? :) After studying the instructions, I decided that I would start by part painting and assembling, to ensure that I get all the detail. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/3384/003zgb.jpg Detail in the passenger cock pit http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/5585/002ge.jpg next parts assembled and ready to undercoat off models http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7256/005haq.jpg http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2776/004lhi.jpg Watch this space for updates, thanks people :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramell Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Real nice. Green is perhaps an unusual colour for seats, but it works well with the blue and the red. I'm looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideshowscott Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have completed the terminator squad that I got dragged away to finish. Turns out that the game I wanted finish them for, I ended up not using them in my list. . . .lol http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6493/026up.jpg I did however get a couple of hours on it today, and managed to make a little progress. http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/6320/029vr.jpg http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6937/028qp.jpg Thanks :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Corsican Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 At first, I wasn't sure about the green and blue together, but you've definitely won me over. The colors are great. Are you using an air brush? Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideshowscott Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi people Well as promised I am continuing the running progress on my speeder storm. Lately I have been so busy with other stuff, outside of 40k, that I just have'nt had time to make any progress. :wallbash: Today I managed to get a couple hours and the model is really starting to take shape, its really motivating me, and im determine to make it my best model yet? Enjoy.................. :P http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5056/0032d.jpg As you can see the parts I assembled and undercoated today are still un-painted. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/285/0022r.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1179/0042zq.jpg thanks for taking the time to follow my progress, I hope this provides more insight into my work, and I appreciate 's comment Thanks guys :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishida Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 A true work of beauty, and I will be refering to your work as a guide for my all-scout army. As an aside, is anyone else bugged by the obvious transport capcity issue the LSS has? I'm an old Rogue Trader era player and I know 10 marines can fit inside even the old MkI Rhino, but the Storm carries five scouts and has four seats and comes modelled with four passengers...

Nikolakhs Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Lookin good with nice crisp greens and blues and a lot of detail. More pics please! On a different note, theres some huuuuge mold lines on that AC termi and on their powerfists that could be done away with just to get that next level of quality. More! -Nikolakhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidus Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Speeder is coming along great dude! Keep it up. I would say however that Termies are First company and so should have white detailing instead of the Fourth's green. Only a minor quibble really. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowscott Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you check my thread on my terminators, in the ultramarine room, all shall be explained people regarding thiwr schem.

greatcrusade08 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 A true work of beauty, and I will be refering to your work as a guide for my all-scout army. IIRC the B&C has the best collection of scout army players and articles, you cant go wrong with this site :D As an aside, is anyone else bugged by the obvious transport capcity issue the LSS has? I'm an old Rogue Trader era player and I know 10 marines can fit inside even the old MkI Rhino, but the Storm carries five scouts and has four seats and comes modelled with four passengers... actually the guy who fires the HB is the fifth member of the squad, the model comes with a stand attached to his waist, so he can deatch the gun and take it with him. GW didnt think it through though as the gun can still fire even after the scouts disembark, nor did they consider who the pilot is.. normal scouts wouldnt be trained and trusted to handle a storm on thier own, so its more likely to be a scout sergeant.. as he is the only guy left on board the BS3 makes no sense??? anyway i mount my LSS weapons under the hull, so theres no confusion. back on topic, that Storm is very well painted, your colours come out very neat, nicely done SSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishida Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the original design actually called for the gunner to deploy with the squad and then leave the Storm without its weapon. Someone higher up in the chain must have pointed out that this would have been a bit cumbersome in actual gameplay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowscott Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks for the great feed back guys. I have started to assemble the scouts so I will start painting them soon. ;) I found another picture of the work I done yesterday, so I thoght I would post it as people asked for more pictures. :huh: Thanks again guys :) http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/6458/0052ii.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowscott Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi people This weekend I was able to get a little more completed on my speeder storm. It is really starting to take shape now, and im really looking forward to using it in a battle. Anyways I have included some more updated pictures of the speeder and im currently in the progress of undercoating two more scouts. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my reports. Im not the greatest person at recording these things, all I do know is I love other peoples photos, and thats what I try to offer other people too? Thanks guys, enjoy the pics and stay tuned . . . lol :sweat: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3039/007ms.jpg http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/1517/0033s.jpg http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/5025/0053n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
