Bryan Blaire Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 TITHI primed a model (Swarmlord) in white for the first time ever in 26ish years of painting for this game - this afternoon I'm going to be going back to hit it with some Wraithbone for Contrast shenanigans. I also committed the cardinal sin of Ready, Fire, Aim and neglected to get blutac into the join anchor holes prior to doing my first so hopefully I can scrape some of that off to get some good plastic bonding going in there.

Vykes Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Today in the hobby: I tried to get a full army shot for the first time in probably a year and a half, and it ended up something like this with a mate of mine while on the phone: Them: "So, you ran out of space? Does that mean the army's done?" Me: "I didn't run out of space, I just ran out of tables." Them: "..." Took me a few moments to really realize... they might be right, but surely the answer is, "get another table," yes? So that'll be a thing soon, and until then, i didn't do my usual photo clean up and prettification. Said I wouldn't until I got a table and set up another shot, so I could 'stew' in the notion of a completed army. Also I may have done the duel I wanted in the heresy, rather than the pair we got. Never cared much for Loken or Abby.

Plans to keep it prestine or build it? Very much planning to use them! I'm planning an urban Catachan force, starting with some of the old metal models I have lying around. There may be some Cadians mixed in (I'm working on the fluff), and I'm sure I could find a place for these guys. With 36 in the box plus some metal characters I'm hoping to source I could have 3x10 (metal sgts), plus command inc. standard and medic. Assuming that eBay is generous, of course!

WrathOfTheLion Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Today in the hobby I finished the first five intercessors for some Angels of Redemption. I think I'll end up doing a combat patrol of them at least, should be fun to paint a few more of them.

That era was juuust before my time so I have the WD nostalgia and the "you cant have it" feeling for it. I've got like 3 metals and an incomplete arm sprue I'n my scavenged oldhammer pile though.

havlar Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) TIHI I ran out of Vallejo red paint, so I used crafts Americana instead for my marine bolters.

Cap'm Heckus Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 TITH I stripped and soaked 40 metal stormtroopers. They'd be sitting in "dip" for about a year (might've forgotten i had them...). Of the 40 there are 6 sergeants but only 2 special weapons (1 flamer/1 melta). I think the math works or for 2 10-man squads and 4 5-man squads. No if only my area would get some Chaos Black primer back in stock.

RikuEru Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 "And as he sat down his shield and gazed over the wartorn plains of Ybrik and up to the gaping Rift in the sky, he knew the Indomitus Crusade was over for them. They had reached the border of Imperium Sanctum. They had brought freedom and hope back to countless besieged worlds under the Emperor's Light. But Imperium Nihilus was still out of reach, behind that veil... if there even was anything 'behind' the Rift." So that's how far I got for now. I will need to test some ideas for my new energy weapon style. Dark frost!? ...or Obsidian blades? And basing will be done once all are done...

The bloody thing keeps clogging as soon as it sees a drop of paint, and I can’t find the problem I had that same problem recently trying to undercoat my Mega Dread. I spent pretty much an entire day and only got the body and leg partly painted. It was Vallejo primer in my case. It has worked better since then but I do feel your pain on that one.
