Vash Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ha ha :D your right about the guard. They are suppose to be many and tons of heavy armour. Its just that I have a love for elite units who rely on speed and mobility. Secondly... I am very lazy... I don't like painting hordes of miniatures :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3856988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 When your collection grows a bit you'll be handing the DE their backsides, as Guard can throw so many dice at them that they go down like insects. Ignores cover and autocannons in particular will ruin their day and make sure you have plenty of numbers to weather their storm :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3857453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 He had loads of jet bikes which had a ridiculous cover save but the ignore cover order worked well :) I think I just need to sort out more models ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3857494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 It has been a little quiet on the model front on this thread. Some of you may feel I have not lived up to my responsibilities as a member of the Commissariat but in the background things have been happening on the painting table... To the soundtrack of screams, shouts and sprays of blood here is the current state of the 711th reinforcements: Wyvern/Hydra This is now magnetised and the tutorial will be going live this weekend at some point. The model itself will be parked in the spry shop over the weekend for its green base spray prior to the full application of paint over the next couple of weeks. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140001_zpsc4373964.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140003_zps649a2eab.jpg Baneblade This is what has been causing the problems but not so much in a technical side but just because it is just so damn big ;) About 75% of the magnetisation is complete but I need to think of a simple way to do a couple of parts of the upper hull but I have some ideas. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140004_zpsd972c1b3.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140005_zpsb5855257.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140006_zpsecbd787a.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140007_zps195f729a.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140008_zpsea91ae39.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140009_zps0cfae87b.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/PB140010_zps2abcd074.jpg With so many parts being able to swap around it is going to cause problems with my cam scheme but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. ;) CoffeeGrunt, Bonzi, captain sox and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3862536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Lovely! You just convinced me to get a Baneblade and now you scare me off with the intense work that needs to be done with magnets.

hendrik Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 actually, a camo paint sheme is not such a big problem. i did it on my shadowsword/stormsword/all other variants and with some planning it can be easely worked around. offcourse my sponsons weren't exchangeable!

elmo Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) @vash: Glad to be able to persuade you to commit to the Baneblade owners club. @WarriorFish: Thanks. Just need to sort out the tutorial now @hendrik: The side panels/sponsons will be the problem. They can be put in any of the 3 locations so I may end up having to do a wavy pattern so each one has exactly the same pattern join point if you know what I mean It will be doable but will need a little thought and at the moment I have brain wear...

WarriorFish Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Looks like a sort of Power Rangers Transformer hybrid, ready to swap the the most appropriate configuration :P I am sadly ill today, but that sounds like a good excuse to do some quiet modelling. I should have some nice free time over the Christmas break (thank the Emperor!), any chance the tutorial will be done for then? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3863155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely my Lord Commissar WarriorFish. At your command I hope to have the tutorial done in 2 weeks but the painting will take a little longer It cannot be "sadly ill" if you can get some modelling work done. I find that any extra time is Emperor sent., but get yourself down to the Medicae for a check up. I hear they are doing a special on Augmetic implants that need trialling.

Jolemai Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Are you going to have the second set of sponsons too? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3863207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Funny you should ask... I have a second Baneblade/Hellhammer from the Hammer of Cadia set which will also be getting the magnet treatment but this will be far easier as I will be able to just glue the upper hull on but this will give me a second set of sponsons when I need them. I am looking at buying the sponson sprue at some point in the far, far future so I will be able to field both Baneblades with 4 sponsons in the future ;) captain sox 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3863210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well it means missing the game where I am surely needed plus I've got a party to be going to this evening but we'll see how it goes. It's nice and sunny for some modelling work though :) I checked with the medics and I've already got the heresy detecting cranial upgrade but they've put me on the list. I'm hoping to get a laser eye replacement, that would be cool. I will make sure to put some time aside for my Shadowsword over the holiday, once I get my Big Guns tank sorted of course! This tutorial will surely be your finest yet :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3863220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 It is looking like I may just go the whole way and finish this one before Big Guns as I hate having half done models lying around but have no fear as this means I can build the second Baneblade for Big Guns ;) Laser eye sounds good or perhaps a built in targeter for when we have to "motivate" the Guardsmen :P WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3863361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'll have you know my aim is great, got to be at least BS5 :lol: Looks like we're going to be inundated with super-heavies soon and that's fantastic, I'll be proud to add mine to that roster! It won't be the whole gamut though, as I'll be building the old Shadowsword kit though that still has plenty of configurations :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3863377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 In-between other jobs I managed to use up 2 1/2 cans of Tamiya NATO Green spray and get the base layer done on all the bits. Now just to add the sandy bits all the detailing and the weathering and it will be done :( Yes - I know the barrel is upside down on the photo but it is not glued on :) http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/322/7/8/wip___magnetised_baneblade_kit___1_by_elmo9141-d86tozn.jpg http://th08.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/322/d/9/wip___magnetised_baneblade_kit___2_by_elmo9141-d86tp36.jpg It is a big kit but I am looking forward to the detailing :) Cod, walter h, Kierdale and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3865163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think I've caved. The wheels are set in motion, I will be purchasing a Baneblade in the New Year. I think I'll make it one of my first magnetised vehicles - oh God help me - in order to get the most out of it! :) Keep up the good work, El'mo, I hope GW gives you a commission! :P WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269375-wip-thread-711th-ccab-chocochip-rats/page/17/#findComment-3865196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
