Beachymike123 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 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! this reflects me far better than previously modelled! go with this one - its funny, has me with a special weapon and the look on the face is bordering on perfect. the only critique i'd have is that he isn't scratching his head very good though. is this for the CCS or vet squad, 'coz i'm very much looking forward to the other interpretation @sviar, look after that sniper rifle(s), they have a dodgy previous owner Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/page/2/#findComment-3444585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argun Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Glad you like it leinmann! Was thinking this for CCS, melta for Vets. Makes sense since the CCS is usually in the back, not moving much, yes?

WarriorFish Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 This is making me itch to work on my squad, but my free time is all booked up for the moment Keep up the good work Argun, you'll surely be the first to complete at this rate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/page/2/#findComment-3445050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 @sviar, look after that sniper rifle(s), they have a dodgy previous owner Haha I'm reading about the Long Las in page 61 in Imperial Munitorum Manulal. @ Argun great job so far I feel proud that the sniper mini represents me, and I like it a lot, it's awesome.

Argun Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sorry for no updates (yet) guys, but I just gotta share this... At my local gaming store the other night, I went up against a friend of mine who runs Angry Marines as Blood angels... I used my tried-and-true Imperial Guard to combat him. Suffice it to say, he completely kicked my sorry behind, but in the last two turns is when some sorta magic happened. He had disembarked his Terminators from his Stormraven in an emergency (I'd immobilized it with a lucky shot from plasma vets) and all I had to shoot at them were my troops. One turn later, I'd killed two, and forced them to fall back. The next turn, all I had was my two company command squads. One with Straken (Semper's CCS model's first debut!), and the other with Creed and Kell. My buddy had assaulted Straken (the only survivor of his squad), challenged him with his reclusiarch (which already had a wound on him) and promptly beat the Marine to a bloody pulp the next turn, forcing the squad to fall back. Creed on the other hand, had managed to take the 5-man terminator squad to a mere 1 man (filled with the righteous anger of the Angry Marines no doubt) and surprisingly when said terminator assaulted, he did no damage to my squad. My men on the other hand, killed him. Many laughs were had at the results, even though it was a loss. Just goes to show that an army with Creed can really surprise your enemies!

WarriorFish Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Did your opponent raise clenched fists and shout "CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!"? Funny that I have an almost identical story of legend for my Company Comander too - clearly the Emperor looks after his own Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/page/2/#findComment-3451078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argun Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 That he did, that he did. In fact, that game was the debut of many of the ETL II members, plus a little something special (it's my entry to Grotsmasha's diorama contest, but I can't take pictures until it's up and running). In fact, it was Uber's model who struck the killing blow to that terminator! Hopefully someday soon I'll finish making the members, and begin painting them. IIRC, I've got Semper, Warriorfish, Uberwolve, Sviar, Leinmann, and me with complete models. Names of missing members will be greatly appreciated!

Argun Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Still plinking away at making the Honor Squads, but on an unrelated note, can anyone give some thoughts as to the latest update here? http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277470-arguns-wips/ Think I'll rename this as Argun's Imperial Guard WIPs, and the other as Argun's Marine WIPs.

WarriorFish Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 That might be a better name for the topic, but you could just as well leave it as it is as it is still part of the ETL II. I've not even started on my squad yet further than some basic planning :( I'm really busy at the moment but they will be done, I just can't say when!

There is no need to rush this, as I bet everyone else can make better squads than I can! Just think of mine as a rough draft, you guys'll be making masterpieces!

Argun Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Say, got a question for everyone here. Would anyone like to see a general full-army shot of my Guardsmen? Would probably be able to do it Sunday, as I've got an apoc game tomorrow (Retaking Santa this time! Came so close a month ago.)

Argun Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Heh, what did you think we'd say? No thanks? Show us EVERYTHING Can't promise absolutely EVERYTHING, as a lot of things aren't complete yet... but I will show you what I have gotten mostly completed! (Several unfinished tanks are in, but about half of my infantry can't make it as they'd be nothing but black/grey blobs of primer) Did I mention that I love artillery? Only got 6 basilisks, 3 medusas, and 3 Minotaurs... but there are still several goodies left to build! *coughbombardscough* Also shown are 3 hydras, 2 punishers, 2 vanquishers, 1 Russ w/sponsons, 4 hellhounds, and 4 chimeras (1 w/autocannon) Closeups of my 3 hydras. Don't get much use anymore thanks to only having skyfire. Hope that changes in new codex! I do remember commenting somewhere that I went with the Artillery company route... albeit one with an odd amount of superheavies and tanks... Here you can see 2 shadowswords (one is the hexblade from another topic) one stormblade, and part of my baneblade. One vendetta, roughly 40 infantry ( ~20 cadian hazmat guys) and a Baneblade. 12 meltagunners, 5 plasmagunners, 4 sentinels, and some of the ETLII guys are shown. Anyone want closeups of certain things? Just ask and I'll be happy to do so!

Sviar Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 That's amazing Anyone want closeups of certain things? Just ask and I'll be happy to do so! Well if you don't mind. If you have any Storm Troopers, it would be cool to see them in snow camo. In the picture with the Vendetta there is a white crowd next to the HWT model. And lastly if every ETL II minis are finished It would be nice to see a group photo...pretty please with a Commissar on top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275788-arguns-imperial-guard-wips/page/2/#findComment-3573839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argun Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ask, and ye shall recieve... All of my currently completed ETLII figs. Can you guess who is who? First of 10 penal legionaries, others have been waiting on more coats of paint for too long... Couple of snipers. My commisar corp. Vendetta. Lots of use, so some parts are somewhat missing... Cadian Hazmat guys. Last pic: he looks so sad... Did the colonel order him to stand guard in the snow? Sergeants Superheavies. Anyone care to add captions to these guys (and/or the singled out guys above) for da lulz? And just a little something I came up with in a conversion-induced haze. Kinda looks like something the Elysians would use, no? Well, there ya go. Some closeups for you guys to enjoy.

Sviar Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 T(h)anks. It is an awesome sight and I like the paintjob.

WarriorFish Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm out of likes for the day it seems, but it was good to see all the pictures!

Argun Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've got one of the two Semper models done, will post up a pic or two tomorrow. Would anyone here mind giving their thoughts on the latest post here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277470-arguns-marine-wips/ ? I'm genuinely curious if anyone would like to help me with the little dilemma there.

WarriorFish Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Good to hear you're still working, though words aren't much use to us. As the Emperor cares only for scars, not medals we only want to see pictures :P Regarding your other post, are you a member of a D&D board somewhere? That would probably be a better place to ask, as the chances of a role player happening across your post here is probably rather slim.
