A Tale of 18 Hobbyists - WIP project thread

[Corsair]

Damn chaplainmikey, I just love the shade of blue you have got.

[geektom]

It's official, chaplainmikey- your blue looks killer!

[Vect]

Can I join in?

[chaplainmikey]

Thanks guys. :) Undercoated the Vets earlier(and remembered to drill the barrels beforehand;) ) and am currently putting down the basecoats and washes on 2 models.

 

Vect- It's up to BattleBrotherLudovic as he's the organizer, but I think you might have missed out.

[Minx]

Im loving the crimson fists!!!

 

I will be doing one for myself soon... Im very excited the more I see well painted CFs

[Grotsmasha]

Can I join in?

While BBL has officially closed the Tale to new participants (with two extra places no less) I don't see any issue with you unofficially participating. By that I mean you can't post your pictures in this thread, but you could start your own thread and follow along with the rules and challenges within this thread.

 

Cheers,

Jono

Cool, although not restricted to a list and points, which army will you be doing?

I'll keep an eye out for your thread.

Hi guys, I've been working through my Company Command Squad. I've finished the Officer and Vox-caster and well on the way to finishing the others. I have just bought my Commissar (the one with power fist and sword) so as soon as I get him I'll start painting.

 

I would have more pics to show wip but the images where to big to upload. I'll tak some more tomorrow and try to get them up, you'll all have to wait till then ;p

[chaplainmikey]

Geektom - Welcome aboard mate! Interested to see what you'll be painting.

 

Colonel Sanguine - Really like that strong, vibrant red! Nice to see the IG being represented in the tale. ;)

 

Mike.

Jaspcat - Very nice job with the greenstuff!

[Ironwithout]

Chaplain - most stunning shade of blue I have ever seen. How in the world do you paint so fast so well?

 

Colonol Sanguine - looking great so far. Can't wait to see that Commisar, stunning model.

 

Demus Ragnok - the pose on that guy screams british football hooligan lol. Love it!

 

Jaspcat - that model was great before you slapped loads of greenstuff on it. Now it looks awesome. Are you planing on customising the whole army or is the HQ just a one off?

 

Geektom - let us know when you start your thread. I look forward to seeing your models.

 

This thread is looking great already! Can't wait for more!

[NovemberIX]

Jasp, that guy makes me think "Rocket skull Paaaawnch!!!!" it looks awesome.

The nice thing about being the "sub-boss" is when I have a bit of time I can work on models. Here they are primed up and awaiting the first coats of yellow.

[GhostMalone]

Brother every unit in this army will be custom and unique no out of the box stuff here ;)

Unemployment has its benefits( no pun intended) . :P

I lovr when people do conversions for each and every model in their army so I'm expecting great things! :P 

 

Mike.

[GhostMalone]

Come on don't pressure me :)

I'll get on to it I swear :P

This made me giggle.

This makes me think your mad. But I can't wait to see how it goes!

[chaplainmikey]

This makes me think your mad. But I can't wait to see how it goes!

I agree, but apparently madness is a pre-requisite for building a truly unique army.

Made some progress with the Sternguard so I'll get some pics up soon as I can. Really want to skip College tomorrow to finish them (and my Fulgrim)!

Mike.

@Jaspcat that model is looking pure devious awesome. loving your GS skills can't wait to see the finished product.

@colonel Sanguine those guard are looking fierce and really give a visually pleasing aspect to the model, as well as immediately tying them to the sons of sanguinious (spelling?) can't wait to see more. i do have to ask though are you going to wash or highlight the flesh?

@chaplainmikey well no pressure eh? seriously they are nice CFs and one of the reasons i stripped my marine army just so i can have an army of them. you have a true talent there that would make Dorn and Polux proud. i look forward to this tale developing and seeing how our armies grow and develop alongside each other. that said, i look forward to seeing all armies developing as the Tale continues.

i apologise though peeps t a lack of updates so far. i've been busy stripping and training for my chef NVQ since i finished my holiday week but i should have something up in the next couple of days. loving the updates so far, loving being part of this (definitely motivates me to get my together painting wise). kudos to BBL, you know how to get our juices flowing, and this is only the first month!
