Captain Antonius Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yesterday in the hobby, I purchased a used leman Russ Eradicator and two armored sentinels with lascannons. The sentinels are blank canvases, the Russ will take a bit of work. It's missing the Armor panels on the front of the turret. But on the bright side, its unpainted!

The Acid Dog Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Today I put the finishing touches on a month's work (well, month and a few days), finally completing some models that, when I started, were completely unpainted. Here they are: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlson793 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 YITH, my fiancé learned my exact feelings about GW kits for basic units that do not include enough bits to actually make the basic unit (specifically, the Skitarii Vanguard/Ranger box that only includes 9 standard backpacks and 9 don't-need-to-modify radium carbines for a basic unit that needs 10 of each).

Urauloth Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think the assumption was that you'd never build a vanguard squad without at least one special weapon, and... I'm not sure why you would? My problem with the kit is the fact that it only has one arc/plasma when the squad can take up to 3 specials, which has driven me to buying arc rifles from france on ebay (or it did, before the start collecting box flooded the internet with admech components) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It's only really an issue if you only want one squad, or want to min-max on a single troop type. If you're building a Skitarii army you'll probably want at least 3-4 infantry squads. Rangers want an occasional arquebus or nothing, Vanguard want max arc or plasma, so it all works out in the end.

Urauloth Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Min-maxing vanguard is probably why I've been suffering shortages. On topic: today I've been removing studs from BaC Mk.IV legs. It takes some time and patience, but I'm pleased to see that it's completely possible to get a smooth finish on the greaves and kneepads. I plan to replace the studs on some of them the old fashioned way once I get hold of some suitible material (water filter beads, I believe) because I don't mind them being there, I just can't stand the ones with a glaring lack of undercut. Should have my first BaC squad built soon, the Ultras for the boardgame. Doing a full set, and using the Word Bearers as convenient practice (and extra manpower) for my main XVII legion project. The Mk.IV tac kit is so nice. I don't think I can go back to the 40k one, at least not without parts from this one thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobrakei Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) TITH I painted the base silver on the rest of my Vanguard and washed it all, painted the base gold on my Captain and washed, received the twenty MK IV marines I ordered and finally managed to get hold of some Macragge Blue spray. It's sold out everywhere, but my local GW manager had 3/4th of a can left that he'd been using, and kindly gave it me for free. What a legend, especially as it means I can start cracking on with my Arcology XIX log. Edited January 16, 2016 by kobrakei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Debonair Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Today in the hobby, my nephew and I painted the names of our marines on the back of their bases so I can finally get the names right during me and my nephew's games of sort-of-space-crusade without having to check my modelling threads on the B&C mid-mission. It's much more gripping when it's Vakar the Vengeful and the hero known as Barlevant fighting off endless waves of enemies while everyone else secures the objective, instead of just White Hawk #4 and Champion of Athlum #2. Furthermore, it's given me the Hobby Bug again - as soon as it stops raining, snowing or otherwise precipitating, I'm gonna spray some assault marines and get back to painting!

Phantomzero17 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 TITH I began discussing with a few friends the possibility of starting up some kill team games to get a few others who interested in the hobby to start playing / modeling.Not sure what I'd want to run but I'm thinking Guard since it's an army I haven't done before.
