Dark Brotherhood Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, here's a highlight of what I've been up to. I don't really work on one squad at a time (thus my geological timescale for completion), but... Dark Brotherhood's Sad, Late, Post #1 HUGE update in the WIP thread in my sig. Lemme know if I borked the posting format too bad, I can come back and fix the headers.

Mr Yellow Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Greetings all, I think it's fair to say 'out of sight out of mind' and our thread has been languishing buried in the pages of the WIP forum for some time so I have decided to post and bring it forth into the golden sunshine that is the first topic in the list. Unfortunately I have nothing completed to show you, I have had no time at all this month do any painting or building :( . However it is time for everyone else to show us your bits.

Adeptus-Alaska Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 does anyone know where on the internet I can find a good picture of the Badab chapters! I kinda need a big one! not the rogue trader one I have that, I need the current one.

Mr Yellow Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You could try getting the Badab War poster from ForgeWorld. Otherwise have a look for images screen shotted from the Badab War books, there are plenty running around if you just google for them.

Rumour Control Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi guys, am I too late to enter into this? If so no worries. Â I have a reasonably sized force 2500pts of astral claws using the siege assault vanguard list from IA 10 and will be working on stuff up until Christmas at least.

Rumour Control Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Here are some WIP pics of what im currently working on. I tend to build up batches of models then paint them together, it works better for me that way and i only have to deep clean the airbrush once (which takes longer than it does to actually paint the models!) than repeat the process over and over after each squad/vehicle.  Im building the trident apoc formation from IA Apoc second edition for a game in october.  What i have to build and paint: http://i50.tinypic.com/1pedjb.jpg  Terminators WIP http://i49.tinypic.com/236nl.jpg  http://i50.tinypic.com/344th6e.jpg  Squad build and ready for painting http://i46.tinypic.com/bgr9kg.jpg  I hope to buy some more terminators tonight to finish off the formation.  I wont post any of my already finished stuff as this is a wip thread but here is a link to them http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=259408 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251570-chapters-of-the-badab-war-painting-challenge/page/9/#findComment-3160846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal585 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Is this still going then? Well I'm entered for my Marines Errant on Warseer's Tale of Painters, so I suppose I may as well uphold my end of the bargain with a few Marines Errant seeing as that's what I initially pledged. Only thing is that I wouldn't be able to start until next month.

Rumour Control Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thats cool LamenterMarine, somthing ive been meaning to do for a year or so but keep spending the money on models instead, one day when I run out of space i'll convince the mrs so I can have one. Â Is that your lamenters army in full? Do I spot a mkIIb land raider? Very nice if so.

Mr Yellow Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Rumour Mill, nope that is not my complete Lamenters Army. That's all I have painted so far. And yes that is a Mk 2B, I do like it more than the standard kit. On the painting table and on the sprues I have the following: 20 devastators, 26 assault marines, 20 tacticals, 25 terminators 1 land raider, 1 dreadnought, 15 Sanguniary Guard, I also have the 40k box on its way to mine too - so I will be doing a renegade lamenters warband too.  Also, I have a cast iron (and sensible) argument that will definitely guarantee that your missus will let you get one of those badboys. 1 - they are only £40 ar ikea 2- you can store more than one carry case's worth of troops inside them 3 - they cost the same as a GW carry case (that's not entirely true but as long as you don't let her read this you are safe). 4- If a reasoned argument fails (which it well may) just sulk until she lets you get a display case for your 'little toy soldiers'. I suggest you let the condescending tone slide this once.  Good luck, I'm sure many of us here will have our fingers crossed for you in carrying out this most noble ot quests.

Rumour Control Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thats alot of stuff you have got going on there, i thought i had a lot on with a handful or two of terminators and a couple of rams. Â What made you choose lamenters may i ask? Â Yeah i saw them once when i was browsing the ikea website, 40 notes is a steal if you ask me. Â Time to build the last 10 assault terminators for the formation which i bought yesterday.I'll post pics of my progress.

Mr Yellow Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 A lot is built already fortunately. Believe it or not I have been trying really hard not to buy more stuff. I always keep telling myself that I won't get more till I have done what I have..... Only have 10 tacs, 15 assault, 10 temies and the land raider to build. Though for me that involves a lot of conversion work. What formation are you building? Can't wait to see the whole lot, apoc formations are the best (worst) excuse to buy tons of stuff at once.

Rumour Control Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 @LM: The formations I am trying to decide on are the dragon fire assault wing from IA 10 and the trident assault force from IA apoc 2nd ed. I can't decide which one to go for. I may put a post up in the apoc thread to see what response I get.  I got the third terminator assault squad built last nite much to my surprise. Will post pics later.  Some pics as promised with the 10 finished terminators. http://i50.tinypic.com/1zwkkls.jpg  http://i49.tinypic.com/2nu3tw4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251570-chapters-of-the-badab-war-painting-challenge/page/9/#findComment-3163335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I thought the dragon fire wing was just three assault rams? Either way, three assaut rams is quite a lot of mullan to lay down. Think I would make my own from foamboard instead. Did the missus allow you to get the cabinet yet?

Rumour Control Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes the dragonfire wing is just 3 assault rams but I'm not sure wether you could put anything in the assault rams so that's why I may go for the trident assault force. Though I don't see why you couldn't but the data sheet says 3 assault rams. Anyhow I'll find out if I can or I can't. The only thing that worries me is that the trident assault force must deep strike so I may not use a formation at all, but the melts torpedoes (I think without looking at the book) are too tempting. Â I know three assault rams is a bit excessive but it's a one off so I thought why not. Also I'm not talented enough to make things from scratch so I save up and buy the model I want. It maybe not cost effective but it's the only way it's gonna happen. Â No cabinet yet but maybe soon hopefully.

Mr Yellow Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Cretheus - like the executioners, knew someone would make use of the chain axe oneday outside of the realms of chaos.

Rumour Control Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 @ cretheus: Your Executioners look great, Thulsa Kane looks like he means business!  @ LM: Great bit of kitbashing there with the terminators, lovely looking assault squad in the background by the way.  @ Jacobite: Nice weathering and blood, ive always been to scared of putting blood on my models just incase i ruin them.  How did you do it may i ask?  My plans my my apoc formation have taken a set back. Due to time, real life and working hard it wont be ready for the 6th october unfortunatly, BUT, i'll still be working on it and hopefully it will be ready be christmas for me and my gaming buddys annual christmas apoc game, though we may sneak a game in before then and were planning on redoing the campaign from IA9 as a run up to the big showdown at the palace of thorns.  Im still pondering what to take to the apoc game.  In other news, I managed to finish this, this week  http://i46.tinypic.com/2vttb8o.jpg  I used it in a game on thursday escorting a caestus and it worked really well, really pleased with it and its a great model to build.  Thanks for looking.
