WIP thread - 711th CCAB (Chocochip Rats)

[elmo]

You know what... I don't know. At the moment I have a box full of vehicle sprues

 

Edit: I think you are right - it is the only model I have which has one so I must be getting ahead of myself by part painting a Hellhound already ;)

I don't blame you, they're good models and also effective on the table top :D

[elmo]

Hellhound or Wyvern/hydra next?

[scatmandoo]

If gaming any time soon, the Wyvern is a auto include. If not both models are good and fun to do.

 

The chimera looks great and I think the MM needs to be included in the next book!

[WarriorFish]

Hellhound! The MM was a sign from the Emperor :D

[CoffeeGrunt]

I vote Hellhound, it's a very fun model!

[elmo]

Hellhound is ahead at the moment ;)

 

Whichever is done it will be magnetised, as usual, and will follow the half done Leman Russ.

 

Unfortunately I have had to nag about the lack of delivery of 2 more Russes and a Chimera as after the best part of 5 weeks in the post they have yet to turn up. 

[WarriorFish]

Rubbish, I've got to chase up some missing magnets and it's a pain :confused:

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

I'll add my vote for the Hellhound. Fun model and I agree with WarriorFish the multimelta is a sign.

[CoffeeGrunt]

I'm really loving the Devildog arm. Even disregarding the Melta effect, a blast with those stats on a Fast chassis is nasty!

[elmo]

Looks like the Hellhound is well in the lead now :)

 

The Chimera is complete and the second Russ should be almost done by the weekend. :P

[WarriorFish]

This is making me want to get another Hellhound... great models indeed but I already have four variants which is probably enough. Can't wait to put them all on the table against a friend's new Ork army. Maybe with the 2 Wyverns too :P

[elmo]

Well, I just ordered a second Wyvern too ;)

 

I really need to catch up on my painting queue :P

[Jolemai]

I really need to catch up on my painting queue

 

 That very phrase has been etched on my mind for the last ten years...

 

Any news on any artillery?

[elmo]

Basilisks are planned but I don't know when I will be getting round to them. :(

 

I was thinking of 3 of them. I just like how they look.

[Jolemai]

Could be worse. I have over 40 second edition Tactical marines to strip and repaint at some point...

[WarriorFish]

The ETL sorts any painting backlog out ;)

[elmo]

Not for me! I end up buying more :(

[WarriorFish]

That's what happens once it cures your backlog - but at least it makes you paint them quickly right? :lol:

[elmo]

To be honest, my completion rate stays pretty steady throughout the year. The ETL and other vows just make me paint specific models rather than more models ;)

 

I don't think I will ever clear my backlog. I have a box of still shrink wrapped Night Goblins from 2008 :(

[CoffeeGrunt]

I remember the days when I didn't have a painting backlog...

 

...That was before I had four armies.

[elmo]

You only have 4 ...

 

Tau

DA

IG

Nids

Orcs and goblins

Empire

 

Each at least 7k points less the IG/nids which are in production. And that is just painted!

 

Beat you :P

[CoffeeGrunt]

My Tau are about 6.5K, Guard probably about 2.5K. I then have a small Everblight force that I have yet to build, and a fledgling army of Lizardmen. :P

[WarriorFish]

The fact that you can count your Guard army means you don't have enough! Come back when your answer is "I have no idea" ;)

Give me a chance... I have only just started

 

Dark Angels went from nothing to almost 11k painted (about another 3k unpainted) in 2 years
