Argun Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Here's the pictures of my ETL II vow. The 4 Hellhounds. The 10-man Veteran squad. All primered at this stage. Closeup of the lead Hellhound. And my three Minotaurs. Gonna paint and then assemble these guys. First time doing that, and haven't figured out what to color the interior... (A note: those Minotaur Artillery Tanks are a pain in the to assemble, but hopefully will be worth it in July ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Drive me closer! I want to hit their scorched remains with my chainsword! :lol: I like the Vets, it's always fun to mod them up especially after doing so many rank and file Guardsmen. I look forward to seeing them painted up, in particular the Minotaurs :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/#findComment-3376422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argun Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Been a long time since I've updated this, but to show that I ain't dead yet: The driver. He is fully painted, but looks kinda cramped in there. What took me the longest time to do... basic weathering. First time doing this on any vehicle... and not sure I like the results. And to show that the guns can elevate Hopefully I'll have the other two done by the end of the week, and then start work on the hellhounds. The veterans are done, just need basing.

WarriorFish Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Great work! They're going to look great together when you've finished your vow, especially the four Hellhounds. They'll be able to purge entire sections of the board clean for you :) Have you thought about some gun barrel scorching? It's pretty easy to do and does a lot to make the model look like it hasn't just rolled off the mechanicum production line. Do you have any pictures of your Vets?

The veterans are done, just need basing. Well done Argun, this is good news, any pictures of the Veterans? Did somebody say... veterans? And the hellhounds. Soon to be finished shortly.

Argun Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well, since the ETL II is over and I've pledged to complete not one, but Two! honor squads (one company command squad, one veteran squad) consisting of the members who successfully completed their ETL II vows. Here's some pics. First up is the WIP of Captain Semper (Straken counts-as) FashaTheDog. The only demi-traitor/xeno in the bunch (AFAIK, leinmann might want to be #2) The 'pet' on his shoulder is called Mr. Cuddles, but his enemies know him as Mr. Nibbles. Possible WarriorFish, might add more at request. Me, the humble HWG with mini chainsword. Quite the possibility of Uberwolve. This knife big enough for ya? (only noticed the binocs here in the pics, will be fixing those later) C&C most welcomed guys, as I need to make 2 versions of ya!

WarriorFish Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Give me a big knife too, and if you've got any xenos heads then a trophy would be nice :) The SM Scout box is good for raiding, they have grenades and cable bits which look good on Veterans if you need more ideas for gubbins.

hendrik Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 i really like the snowy camouflage/paintsheme!as for the weathering, you could use an old toothbrush to apply a light drybrush with a metallic paint to shouw wear and tear on the flooors etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/#findComment-3440382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Do you mean using the brush to brush it on? I've heard of using one to "flick" paint on for thinks like mud but when I tried it didn't really work out...

Argun Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Not to worry uber! arm's on the way, just need to find a suitable one for you! Am on the lookout for a gasmask for ya as well. Working on leinmann's guy as well-- he's getting a custom sniper rifle, might start sculpting camo cloaks as well. Who wants one, if they turn out alright?

Argun Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Alrighty, here's an update! As Uberwolve has the distinct honor of being our forum's ETL II Champion, I have elected to give him the Regimental Banner (and a powerfist just 'cause it looks better than the original arm) This is the mini of him for the Command Squad. Found ya an arm! Here he is, ready for the Veteran Squad. Any more items you'd like there Uber? And as per Semper's suggestion, here is leinmann as the Command Squad's sniper. Need to figure out another guy for the Veteran squad, so would you like a sniper there, or another special weapon? As always gentlemen, I am open to interpretations and criticism. I'll even (try) to redo the model(s) should you so choose.

Warhead01 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Fantastic! I look amazing! and theirs two of me! we can't loose! I really do like the pose with the banner! very nice. And commando me looks good as well. I think yours needs to be carrying a demo charge.

WarriorFish Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Missing an arm? Just a flesh wound!

Argun Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Been a bit busier today... got a Squaddie Leinmann, plus Sergeant Semper! (I did check... the loadout is legal! I was going for the 'rule of cool', but it works!) Semper. Still going with the Straken look, so he's got a bionic arm. Leinmann.

Argun Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Going back to the conversations we had before I started making this, I've come up across a slight oops. Sniper was supposed to be Sviar. Leinmann, I think I've got just the mini for you as a replacement! Will have pics up soon. And here it is! He's using his personal gaming device Munitorum issued Manual Reading Device. Now comes with instructions on how to use plasma guns safely!

huntingbane Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hey I was just wondering if you'd like the sound of this colour scheme for imperial guard A dark blue cloth with blue or black wash White or grey metal with brown wash And blackfor others like the gun And a snowy base type Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/#findComment-3443766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Maybe not the best place to ask an unrelated question Brother, you might do better to create a new topic for your colour scheme where we can go into more detail on it. For example you could use the Guard painter to mock up your scheme so we can better know what you're aiming for.
