Corton Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 As some of you may have seen, I was supposed to paint these up for the challenge that has recently ended. Well, to say the least I did not accomplish this (though 5 funerals in three months IS a little difficult to contend with). So, I will at least post what I had up to the point everything went crazy. I will also continue to post as I finish it, as the army changed quite a bit since I first put it together. Initial Army shot: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1689.jpg Commander: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1703.jpg Deathwing: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1700.jpg I will post more shots in a day or few, for progress n such.

AGPO Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Really sorry to hear about the bad luck you've been having this year. It never rains as they say but it pours. Your commander conversion is really nice, a simple but effective conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corton Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 As I had said, the army has gone into a complete re-vamp. This is where it is now: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1740.jpg It has improved from 1500 to 2000 points, and has benifited greatly from the new FAQ that I didn't know had been out since December of last year. Here is a shot of my WIP Belial, as I figured everyone else has one, so I might as well too; http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1742.jpg Apothecary: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1743.jpg Standard Bearer: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1744.jpg The whole Squad: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1729.jpg Then there is the Dreadnought. This model is one I have always completed first in every Marine army I have ever owned, as it seems that this one was no different; http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1747.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1748.jpg And finally a shot of the most 'complete' squad I have to date. This will be the basis of the army for green I will be using. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1735.jpg I will post more as I get more finished, or at least further along at any rate.

Corton Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Update. Now its a little small, but that is due to the fact that my camera has refused to co-operate. So, with that in mind, I have a couple of pics to share. first off is the Company Master. I had initially used plastic parts from the DA sprue. However, this was a little inadequate, and the comment of simple was a deciding factor for a bit of an upgrade: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1773.jpg I got exceptionally lucky in an ebay bid for some parts, and ended up scoring the 'feather-head' bit, so I figured it was a good part. I also updated the Librarian. I had initially used the upper half of the Libby with a force axe and added it to the lower half of a plastic Robed dark Angel: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1749-1.jpg However, I soon realized that it wasn't quite what I wanted. So, after a rummage through thirty pounds of bits (I have a lot of them), I came up with this: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/mrscorrie/101_1770.jpg Its my first use of using non-metallic painting for the blade, but I like it. Now, hopefully, I can get my camera to co-operate that way I can get some of the Ravenwing and Greenwing on here. I have to say, that this is the first time in a while that I am looking forward to finishing an army, AND using it in August to win 'Ard Boyz. ....Hey, it can happen.

Isiah Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah I love the pose of that new Libby... I wouldn't like to be the one he's pointing at ;). Your Company Master is really cool – love that feathered helm, a really great DA design that was brilliant on the original old metal Master model and really helped define the DA 'look' back in the day.
