A tale of 20 gamers, a galaxy asunder.

Thanks for the compliments. I've managed to knock out another marine, but I'm not happy at all with the base. Silly me, I didn't write down my recipe, so I had to guess and my memory wasn't too accurate. Will have to play around with it and work something out.

WarSpirit, Post 2 - WIP Sanguinary Guard



Well a small update after a long time. Since i got a tournament in september I had to start to work harder. My first 5 man squad is primed and ready to paint. I had also to start work on theses dudes for my tournament, a count as Dante/Azkaelon and a squad of sanguinary guard.

The Damned Artificer, Post 2 - WIP Legio VII - The Imperial Fists


Time for a small update, as I've been asked to showcase some mniatures tomorrow at a Danish tournament I thought it would be fitting to get some of the fists done, so here's a little WIP of how things were looking yesterday :) Closeups will follow after the weekend (and me finishing painting them tonight)

So here's what I hope to be done with by tonight, but realistically I'll probably not manage to finish the speeder and commander but I'll try.

Here's the progress on the commander so far.

And the speeder have also gotten some yellow (finally) :P

All the while the crew is pole dancing :P

In all circumstances I'll have fulfilled the first goal in this challenge by tonight, which is an awesome feeling :(

That's all for now, gotta go paint some more :D

FlakMonkey: I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the project. If it's the cost of the minis however I may have a solution. It happens that as yours is Iron Warriors they would require some conversions anyway. When I post my first five Ultramarines next week I'll also post a tutorial on turning standard space marines into crusade/heresy era armour marks. That way you may have enough spare bits to assemble your first five, and if not then at least you wouldn't have to fork out for the forgeworld armour marks.

Some great work guys everything is looking fantastic.

 

FlakMonkey: getting from forgeworld is always painful on the wallet. I tend to save for a few months and get a big order but I guess that doesn't help you.

 

Anyway I'm back from my holiday and have undercoated my first squad, hope to start painting afterword tomorrow.

Wow, I go away for a month and then much awesomeness has been sculpted or painted, especially the sanguinary Guard, who are the best ones I have seen. Popped into reading on my way back, and got some flock which I think will work (I am praying it will work this time) and so should have the first five guys finished by tomorrow hopefully.

There is still no feedback from forgeworld about those shoulder pads, and I don't want to start assembling the guys before I hear from them, so after these five are done I will properly work on the captain and the stripped squad.

I also now have a more clear idea of what I shall aim for with Vulkun, but the rest of the force... I'm not to sure to be honest, will still include the Land speeders, but as Terminators cannot take drop pods am not sure about including them, the idea of a non transport list relying on the troop squads to do do stuff is nice but my Thousand sons are that as well, and am not sure if it would be too similar.

The idea of writing scenarios has got me thinking of trying to scratch build some kind of legion crusade/heresy era lander so I could do a scenario of a small salamander force trying to hold the lander in time for survivors to reach it.

Another idea I have had is to get a pack of Epic warhound titans from forge world (I love the models) and then paint one in salamander colours, and the other in a traitor legion's, and then possibly make a diorama, the fact part of me has been thinking of attempting to scratchbuild a 40k scal one for the salamanders and my Thousand sons (Know no fears depiction of the superheavy and titan use by marine legions is just brilliant.)

If they are included in the heresy rules, will anyone be including superheavies?

@the damned artificer: Awesome Fists as always. Really like the commander there, and the Sicarius model is a nice base for a heroic model. Love the change of head as well! I always see your work and get envious and then feel I gotta paint more Fists!

 

Glad this is still going full steam. Kinda regretful I couldn't participate, but am enjoying this thread non the less from the sidelines. Keep it up guys!

Hey guys, I'm still alive and in this thing, but there's been some real life issues taking up most of my time lately and I'm still having trouble finding the last few things I need to finish these guys up.

 

I'm loving the updates, especially those IFs and I might have some competition with painting gold from those Sanguinary Guard.

 

Keep up the good work! I'll try to have some kind of update soon.

ah thanks guys. na the price isnt as much the problem as getting the stuff. where as getting gw products is a lot quicker. maybe its just where i live... who knows. i might then be a little late with my first five guys. but will make up for it somehow. i should probably look around for some tutorials or something for the conversions

The Damned Artificer, Post 3 - WIP Legio VII - The Imperial Fists


So the first few models are done, the 5 man limit is reached, but not with the planned tac squad, instead the tartaros terminator squad is done :D and the Proteus and contemptor too, so I'm pretty happy :)

Here's a few pics from the weekend, I got a chance to snap a few on this lovely CoD table they had :D

Aw that's too bad FlakMomkey, hope it's not too rough a time for you as we can all agree that real-life can be a bitch :)

 

If no one shows up to take up the mantle I'll do an honorary IW marine in your stead for the first deadline, so your legion of choice won't be totally left out :)

 

Best of luck mate :)

Really great stuff in here folks!

 

@WarSpirit: I have been thinking of Lamenter allies for my Astral Claws and wanted to make a count-as Lemartes for a Death Company. Your Azkaelon/Dante

mini looks like something I want to aim for. It's great to see the pose and bits will look awesome!

 

@the damned artificer: I would challenge you to thumb-wrestling for the IVth Legio mantle but will have to pass :D .

Too bad man, would have been a real IW vs IF battle then ;D But anyone is free to take the IVth mantle if they please, my offer is only to ensure that they get a presence here for the first deadline :(
