Brother dean Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Was very confused with the first quarter of the book "Pariah" until I figured out why they were calling her "Beta".....

Zincite Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Personally I reckon it looks garbage, but I'll reserve my final judgement for when he's painted.Modelling almost always looks better when painted!Today in the hobby, I have been as productive as ever.Like a bolt'a oil-slick'd lightnin', t'ain't no stoppin' you, is there!? But hey, look. You posted here. That counts as hobby.

Nusquam Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I took advantage of a year end sale and got a bunch of the Wall of Martyrs stuff.

sockwithaticket Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Today I decided to spruce up an old Chaplain rather than plow on with my massive pile of unpainted things.

Zincite Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Today in the Hobby I painted a Chaos cultist. I also converted my first (old-style) tactical marine into an 'aiming' pose. I'm pretty chuffed with the results! It's not perfect, but it looks better than that funny aiming-at-the-sky pose the arms had when I started.

Brother dean Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) (last night) Started painting my commission payment of 3 RWBKs and stopped myself and thought I maybe ought to work on the assembly commission first since I've been paid for it already.... Quite pleased with how it is coming on as it was rather badly warped and igknot had already straightend it quite a bit.... http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/StormEagle/DSCN9950.jpg I hate working with greenstuff, because I am not any good working with it.... cause I never work with it...... cause I hate it....

Brother Casman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yesterday in the hobby, I vowed (resolved, whatever :P ) to assemble and paint the following by the end of the year: Fortress of Redemption Aquila Strongpoint Firestorm Redoubt Vengeance Weapon Batteries 3 sets of Imperial Defence Lines 2 sets of Imperial Defence Emplacements Imperial Bunker Skyshield Landing Pad Honoured Imperium set Aegis Defence Line Luckily, the fortress of redemption is about half done - so I'm aiming to have it completed by the end of January. In the name of the Emperor, I will not falter! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/31/#findComment-3559002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) YOU CAN DOO EEET! The fortress took me a month of painting but it is worth it as I have only seen one other fortress painted (in person... Seen like three unpainted) and it is done badly...

Aqui Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Today in the hobby, I am working out a 500pt list for a game that the local GW is running (1 HQ, 1 Troop + whatever else).

The_Chaplain Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 @jefftibetts: desnyder<?> the guy who made the templates to turn a rhino into the old pattern with plasticard had a thread, pretty sure it's on warseer, where he said he used halcraft brand beads. I got some labelled as tiny glass marbles or something along those lines off eBay. I'm supposed to get them around Monday, ill update my confessor thread with pics of them before and after I use them for you if that helps?

the jeske Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Pwnd a non noob player so hard he bought an Cryx banes , before I managed to leave to store . har har But what am actualy working on right now is a standin FW demon prince for a friend . Am using the WK body , but without the head and the jump jets/weapons . I actualy got inspired to build it after finding some old citadel journals with harlequin army rules . An eldar dreadnought there had its "head/body" fused with a wicked smile . Am doing the same only chaosfied. The body got upgraded with the maw from a WFB chaos beast , to make it look as if the warp itself exploded from inside the wright knight [or at least will look like it when my wife paints it] . Left hand got upgraded with a green sttuff wip sculpted on a long bras rod , that ends with WFB imperial asrtroloabium . the arm is pulled back , to make it look like as if the DP is using the wipe to make it spin [realy old people like from the 60s and under know what am talking about] . The sphear took a lot of [oddly] time to resculpt . It was the proper size and looked cool/magical enough , but not slany enough .So I added some straps of skils to make it look less tzeench and more decadent . My wife had the idea to put a serafin inside , but the model didn't fit and I would have to either resculpt the whole leg section or find a different model [it also made the model even more heavy] . The right hand is outstreached and armed with a shoty weapon[yes I know they don't have any ,but I needed a counter weight and it looks ok] , I wanted to make the arm look like an old [again my WFB roots come back] sorc of tzeench flamer arm. I did that by triple linking guns from forgefiends and extending them a bit , as the forge fiend guns seemed to be too short[to me , my wife told me they are ok]. Now all that is left to do , is only to finish the harm section carried on the WK back [classic stuff everyone used DE , slave , ukrain slave girl model and guards for it in the form of dark elf witch elfs , but with legs swamped with demonetts] . Another month or two and it should be ready to be painted. When I finaly can unpack nids , I will also added some parts of the uber maw model[the tongue and the predator maw endings] to the central maw/head of the WK .
