Brother Pheidias Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 TITH I washed 6 Scimitars and 2 Lascannon Javelins, and finished details and basing on 5 White Scars on foot.

marvmoogy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 TDITHI.....played a game against my regular Eldar / Necron opponents. Big game at 4200 points... Took a mix of GK (libby, 2x termie squads and 2 NDKs), Imperial Knight (Errant with a melta gun and autocannons) Vanilla Marines (Dev Cents, a libby, tactical squad) and my trusty wolves (Ulrick, 2x 10 man podded GH squads, 15 bloodclaws in a storm wolf, vindicator and a fire raptor). Also took an aquila strongpoint with the macro cannon. They got turn 1 and moved up the board to me. Most of my army was in reserve, with only the strong point with the C:SM tacticals in it with a libby, the vindi and the knight on the table. All the GKs arrived turn 1 as well as the dev cents and 1 GH pack. I didn't lose a lot on the first turn.... the Strongpoint took a lot of their fire and lost some AV value and a couple of marines. My turn 1 did a lot more damage with the Macro cannon taking off 3 jetbikes, a wound from the Wraithknight and a few necron things. The gravs also did a pretty good job removing an Annihilation Barge. Biggest mistake this turn was forgetting about the psychic phase entirely, made more painful by the fact I had managed to roll for vortex :-( Turn 2 came and they finally destroyed the gun on the Aquila but they had focussed too much fire on it and the rest of my army came on. My Fire Raptor took out the eldar flyer which game me control of the skies. That's when it was a case of start operation: mop up. Whilst there were a few units tied up in combat that seemed to go on forever, I had 15 blood claws and ulrik in the storm wolf ready to disgorge the troops and pile into a combat that would have swung it. My Knight got gaused to death losing its last hull point to overwatch (which is a shame as, just out of interest, we played on to see 'what if' it had got into combat and that entire squad was bye-byes....but not to be) So, things to learn. 1) Aquila strong points don't make their points back...but they take such a load of fire, the rest of your force can do a lot! 2) Grav cents are amazing 3) Don't leave home without a fire raptor 4) make sure there is a comfy seat somewhere as my back is killing me now!

Dragonlover Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Unfortunately my mate doesn't have time. And it's just shy of ten vows.

Viridia Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Totally hit the hobbyist's wall. Not happy with how my IF colour scheme is, can't be bothered doing any work on the BaC or Deathwatch boxes I've still got waiting for attention. On the bright side, chances are this means I'll swing towards working more on my writing.

JeffTibbetts Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 YITH I finally found an easy, great looking way to paint skin. Only took me about 15 years. I don't even know who I am anymore How rude. Recipe, dude. And I JUST bought three paints for skin, so your recipe better consist of Ratskin Flesh, Reikland Fleshshade and Kislev Flesh. You are allowed to throw in Pallid Wych Flesh and/or Screaming Skull and white, of course. Or just tell me what you actually did before I paint all my Deathwatch dudes. I'm so used to pale Raven Guard skin at this point I've lost touch.

airinhere Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 TITH I used my new airbrush for the first time and was amazed at how fast a huge pile of grey soldiers received a base coat and highlights. Then I managed to break off the microscopic threaded tip on my .35 tip and narrowly avoided a rage by swapping to my alternate .5 tip. A day of great highs and lows!

Aias Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Today, I finally finished the green edging for my Laernean Terminators for my HH Alphas, so I can continue on to cleaning them up and starting the metals. Who had the bright idea to edge in two separate green colors? Oh, right, that'd be me. Carry on.

Race Bannon Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 TITH I realized that my love for the metal Scouts models are tempered by the PAIN IN THE it takes to paint all that detail. So, one demi-squad for each type (Bolter, Shotgun, Sniper, Ninja ... and that's because I actually own all that metal). Any more models goes to plastic. I also decided to magnetize the LS Storm. Hmm. Maybe I also realized I just *need* to punish myself for the hobby.

Cap'm Heckus Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) YITH I finished a second 10 man squad of city fighting catachans and 4/5 of their platoon command squad. I also assembled melta vets with berets (from the MT kit) and began dry brushing their chimera. I also settled on my first of 3 ETL projects: praetorian rough riders. Pictures to follow (they're in my gallery, but posting from phone is a pain). http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_11843/med_gallery_69131_11843_61069.jpeg Edited March 30, 2016 by Cap'm Heckus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/168/#findComment-4350199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Take them all!! Allied detachments, you know you want to ;) TItHI am back offshore and trying to get my half-done Wolves finished. They got pretty banged up, so while waiting for glue to arrive, I made a quick start on this bad boy!! http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20160331_090844.jpg He has been intimidating me for ages and I keep promising to buy the FW paints, but never getting to it. I have 3 weeks on this tub, so thought, why not make a start? Every Horus I have seen is pale grey of the Luna Wolves or Black because he has turned. I thought I would try something different. In False Gods, when Horus is considered to be arond the zenith of his powers, he goes to Davin to put down the insurrection there. He presents himself in the sea green plate of his legion with a regal purple cloak. So that is what I am shooting for. Hopefully I can do the model justice. My idea is that if I he can be both loyalist Horus or traitor Horus (early heresy, before putting on the black terminator suit gifted to him by the dark mechanicum).

So, one demi-squad for each type (Bolter, Shotgun, Sniper, Ninja ... and that's because I actually own all that metal). Any more models goes to plastic. Having just painted a bunch of the plastics, in addition to the metals, I can tell you that I prefer the metals. Both are a pain in the ass, but the plastics are fugly as hell. Ugly heads, arms fit poorly, poor moulding on the arms etc, and they have just as much detail. The scout bikers were much nicer. I swapped out all the heads on mine which made them more acceptable, but painting scouts of all varieties is still pennance.
