Styrofoam04 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 You got more comments on New Badab than over here :P Ya I know. I didn't want to rub that in! New Badab has way less people on it and I get alot more love! I figured since there is more people here I can get more advice. I think I joined New Badab because of your sig. @Terminatorinhell, Thanks I was hoping it would work @Brother Syth He will be named Brother Lemmy http://media.coveringmedia.com/media/images/movies/2011/01/09/lemmy_03.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237985-lord-of-the-maelstrom-a-red-corsairs-wip-blog/page/4/#findComment-2988134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styrofoam04 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 So the month is almost over and Im panicking! I have 2 days to finish painting a mini! I havent been able to lift a paint brush once this month. Hopefully I can get time to. I have to make time! I will get it done! I got some work done. But I'm not finished. I worked on the shoulder pads and the backpack. Basecoated the chainswordand gave it a wash. painted all the gold. All I have left to do is paint the bone, fix and touch up, base him, and give him a coat of satin varnish. Thanks to the leap year I have one extra day, without it I dont think I could do it. Anyway here are the pictures http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020789.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020791.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020792.jpg This guys arms are magnetized. So if I get time I would like to paint other options for him. Most likely Worlf Guard options.

Styrofoam04 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 So I managed to finish him before 12am. But I was too tired to take pics. Next time I should wait till the PVA glue dries before painting the base. Or better yet I should not do it at the last minute! I'll take pictures tonight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237985-lord-of-the-maelstrom-a-red-corsairs-wip-blog/page/4/#findComment-3005149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styrofoam04 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks. For the skin tone, this one is my favorite! I just really wish I remembered what I did to get it lol. Everything on that head fell together perfectly. The eyes, the teeth, the hair and even the clef on his chin. I'm really happy with it. I cant wait to get home to take pictures of it to share. I aslo tried a different technique for the wolf pelt on the shoulder. I really like that too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237985-lord-of-the-maelstrom-a-red-corsairs-wip-blog/page/4/#findComment-3005217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 cofederate lemmy marine is awesome! Also, really sharp work on the OSL, if I can offer only one piece of advice it would be to increase the brightness of the mace, the way it is at the moment doesn't seem quite bright enough for the brightness of the light it's kicking out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237985-lord-of-the-maelstrom-a-red-corsairs-wip-blog/page/4/#findComment-3005291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styrofoam04 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thank you. Thats the first piece of advice I got on it. So are we talking about the blue on the marine or the mace itself? Should I add more to the marine or just lighten it up? I'm still afraid of over doing it. I've seen some that seem like overkill. It also took me 4-5 re-do's to get the mace right. I wont be able to re-do the marine if I mess up.

blackbabyjesus Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 you need to lighten up the source, so the mace itself, the reflected light at the moment is as bright as the source, and that just aint possible!

Styrofoam04 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm really excited I got back my squad of marines from a friend of mine who is painting them for me. I took some pictures, but my home computer is in the shop getting fixed. as soon as I get it back I will post them and you guys can tell what you think. In the meantime I have picked the next model for Mr. March. The red is done and the rest is blacked out http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020737.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020739.jpg Opps I forgot to finish blacking out the combi-melta! I also need to pick a head for him. He is a Wolf Guard, Should I give him a helmet or use a SW head?

Styrofoam04 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 So I got alot done on Saturday. Although, none of it was for Mr. March. I managed to get some casting done. So on Thursday, I created the mould http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020818.jpg As soon as I got home on Friday I poured the rubber, 6 hours later this popped out: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020825.jpg I spent all day Saturday casting (well most of the day, the evening was spent at a pub and having some green beer for St Pattys Day) I did about 6 casts and only 3 of them turned out. Due to bubbles and bad mixes. The three that did come out needed to be cut out and trimed. The came out a little thicker then the orginal so they needed to be sanded down and i got 3 of these: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020819.jpg Next to the orginal: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020820.jpg It was very time consuming but I feel it was still faster then cutting them out of plasticard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237985-lord-of-the-maelstrom-a-red-corsairs-wip-blog/page/4/#findComment-3019599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styrofoam04 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 So back to Mr. March I took pictures of him with the highlighted black. He is still WIP and the black parts not highlighted and have red showing through are to be painted a different colour. http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020821.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020823.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn268/Styrofoam04/P1020824.jpg Let me know what you think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237985-lord-of-the-maelstrom-a-red-corsairs-wip-blog/page/4/#findComment-3021833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styrofoam04 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I had a great game on Sunday against Dark Eldar Elite. I have never played Dark Eldar before and DEE was very helpful. While playing he gave detailed information on each unit and even told me which was a greater threat. He is very forgiving and stern. He is a new player himself. So when I made mistakes he would tell me about it and let it go. On the otherhand when I would let his mistakes go, he wouldn't allow it. (trying to learn from his mistakes) Which made me feel crappy about it. Anyway, He won first turn, and decided to go second. It was Capture and control and spearhead. He kinda told me he was putting everything in reserve. Since I knew ahead of time I deployed differently. I put one unit of Long Fangs on top of my bunker Objective and the other two Long Fangs I put in their Las/Plas Razorbacks (which I never do). I knew I had 2 free turns of movement. I placed 2 Rhinos and 1 Heavy Bolter Razorback as close to the edge of my deployment for max distence. In both of them were 8 Grey Hunters with Melta and a Wolf Guard with Combi-Melta and a Power Fist. The HB razorback was amy power ball of 5 Wolf Guard all with Power Weapons and Huron Blackheart (Wolf Lord, Power Weapon and Power Fist and Runic armour). I also deployed another 2 Grey hunter Rhinos. One of these Rhinos had a Rune Priest. these two I camped by my objective. First and Second Turn, Very straight forward. I moved my Long Fangs razors towards terrain and deployed them in cover. The two Rhinos and HB Razorback went all out to get in range of his Objective Unfortunetly I dont know much about Dark Eldar to really complete a detailed BatRep. I can give you the jist of it. He brought in a transport and a unit of witches. The transport hid behind a bunker and the witches behind his objective. He shot at my Long Fangs and I lost the sargent. Turn Three, I got my three units in 3" range of the objective, I lined up a Las/plas Razor to shoot the Witches (but I forgot about it in the shooting phase) My long fangs returned fire on the transport and wreaked it. Some Dark Eldar guys came out all of them had Power Weapons. I shot some Frag Grenades at them, 9 hits but only Killed only one or 2 He deployed a cool black jet thing with lots of guns and missiles. a monsterious creature thing, a little skimmer thing that had 5 guys in it and I think 10 regular guys walked on the table and another transport. He wreaked Hurons razorback. They Disembarked out the rear in cover. He then wreaked the Rhino Next to it. He also wiped out a squad of long fangs. Turn Four, I exploded the jet thing, wounded the monsteriuos creature thing, shot Krak Grenades this time at the power weapon guys killing 2 more. i move my ramianing Grey Hunter Rhino thats near his objective towards the transport. I disembark and shoot everything at it. my meltas were 1/2" out of range, and the bolters only got a cant shoot result. Im not sure what else i got. He brought in another jet(placed in in the crater of the first one...taboo), some wing things. I think at this point he gave up thinking of capturing my objective. He was going to skim accross for the contest. His main concern was getting these damn Grey Hunters off his objective. His jet thing shot eveything at my long fangs leaving one ML to remain (passed leadership at the end of shooting). He weapon's destroyed one of my Las/Plas Razors(yay Bumper car). My rhino-less Grey Hunters get shot at and assaulted by the monster. But I kill it in the assault 5 marines remain in this squad. A squad disembark out of the transport lead by Lelith(bad a$$). They multi-assault my Grey hunters and Huron's Unit of Wolf Guard. Lelith had like 11 attacks, and her squad had alot of attacks too. I lost all the grey hunters in that squad and left behind a Wolf Guard. Huron's unit brushed off all attacks. I return by killing only four guys. I lost the assault. The lone Wolf Guard passed the Ld save, but Huron Fails. I also lose the initiative test. and had to take 3 wounds. I lose 2 of them. Turn 5. Not looking good for me on his side, I need re-enforcements! I move my Rune priest Rhino 12" and disembark the Rune Priest. I use living lighting on the witches sitting on his objective and with the help of pistol fire from the 5 Grey hunters I cause them to retreat off the table. Soo the funniest part of the game. my Lone ML Long Fang decides to shoot at the black jet in the crater. DEE says to me if you wreak this i will jump over the table! ... I roll a 6 on the damage chart .... and he runs around the table and playfully checks me into the wall. We laugh then remember that it was a glancing hit so it was only immobilized. My full squad of Long fangs sitting safe on my objective split fire 3 shots into the jet to finish the job. The other two shots go on the advancing power weapon unit and kill 2 of them. My assault phase didn't go too well. I lost it again. Lelith over killed my remaining Wolf guard(in the Grey Hunter unit) with 10 attacks. Huron gets a wound and I lose a power weapon Wolf guard. Last ditch effort He skims across the table to my objective but is 10" short. His power weapon unit also moves toward my objective. If he rolls a 6 for running then he contests... thankfully he rolls a 1. His assault phase Lelith is not Base to base with Huron so all her attack are agains the remaining 2 Wolf Guard who of course DIE. He has 2 reamining guys with regular weapons and Huron only needs 2+ saves and I roll a 1!...I'm just glad he has 1 would left. End of fifth turn. I hold strong to my objective, and Huron and an empty rhino contest his. If the game ends now I win. If it continues, Huron dies... rhino explodes ....and the reinforcements dont make it. For the Tie. I ask DEE so do you want someone else to roll the die for next turn... his reply was "I take fate into my own hands" ..... He rolls a 2 ...Game Over... for the win.. really good game.
