That's a lovely find!! :wub: 

Is that a 32mm base? I'd definitely start with that for increased stability.

 

It will be; I stack my characters (and as these are characters these days...) I plan on weighting the underside of the 28mm base before gluing it on to the 32mm.

Mainly these needed their bases finished. As they are my legacy stuff, again, I didn't want to tweak anything major; barrels drilled all round, eye lenses, eyes, power sword. Also went over the Devastators red as it was streaky and highlighted the helmets.

That's a solid work! How is his personal "wobbly model" syndrome right now with so many moving parts?

Very sturdy, mainly as the body is one piece. All the magnets are strong enough too, however, I tried the washer route for the fists which adds more weight than I'd like - will just go regular magnets or metal strips next time.

Infantry WIPs

April

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of April pledge to complete eleven infantry models by month's end.

To do:
  • Scouts: Touching up and details
  • 2nd edition plastics: Second red coat, recess wash, highlights, details
  • Grey models: Fully complete

Another couple of Scouts I hadn't finished (somehow) and some Tacticals that needed some love. I'd already made a start on the bases and metalics, but needed something else for this months vow...

One Armour through the Ages box and a metal Mk VIII step forth! They will be painted as Veterans but need a lot of work to get there:

  • The Mk II gets correct Mk arms and a backpack, the closest shoulders I can find, a special-issue bolter, and an ammo pouch
  • The Mk III is easy, he's just getting a suitable backpack.
  • The Mk IV gets correct Mk arms, backpack, and shoulders, a special issue bolter, and a Sanguinary Guard dagger
  • The Mk V ended up with Mk V assault arms - so he's getting two BoP chainswords (along with a spare fist), Mk V shoulderpads and backpack, and an ammo pouch
  • The Mk VIII has the one-handed special-issue bolter and auspex from the Sternguard box, BA upgrade sprue shoulderpad, 2nd edition backpack, pounch, and purity seal

Devastators WIP

A sneak preview of what's coming up...

2nd edition bodies with the FW heavy weapons pack and some BA bits.

Edited by Jolemai

I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the fw and 2nd ed lascannons if you have the opportunity while painting them. Also - flames on the barrels/plasma cowl?

Some quick shots if that's what you meant?

I'll be painting them up like my current scheme - so that will be red and green tips on the lascannon and plasma cannons respectively, and a Goblin Green base rim (oh, and red armour on a white undercoat) :tu:

Coming to a BA blog near you...

Grot, I'm looking to enhance my current vow with the following model (Librarian). If that's ok, it will take me to twelve models vowed this month.

I've got one of those somewhere. It was a right pig trying to work out his helmet I seem to remember. I think I tried to do the Eavy Metal/RT era halved colour scheme but I don't think it really worked so I'll look forward to seeing what you make of him!
