Beachymike123 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 just had a proper look through your thread (been busy with a few odds and ends lately) and there are some really nice conversions here. i especially love the bases you've done, they add a lot of character to your models, who are also painted fantastically well. looking forward to seeing more when you get the chance.

lionofjudah Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks man... I got all my guard together to play a game against my sons orks today and he wound up with a stomach bug. We watched Star Wars and I rebased a squad and built another squad of guys with maxmini legs and Victorias torsos, arms and heads... Great stuff! I'll take some pics in am and post them up.

WarriorFish Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I thought virus bombs were stuck in 2nd Edition still? :P My Guard haven't had a game for a bit, I reckon everyone is scared of the new additions. Rightly so, but I'd argue the regiment was formidable enough before! I've been looking at the Victoria stuff quite a bit recently so I'm interested to see what you've done.

lionofjudah Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Well mr warriorfish...I took a few shots this am before leaving for work and when I went to post them here they were blurry :(... What I get for a 3 minute photo shoot with crappy lights and my phone camera. Heres what the sentinel looks like on one of the bases http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/3DD29BB5_zps3ee32f02.jpg Will be getting the snow and ice treatment maybe this eve.Heres an overhead shot of one of the arty pieces...Ill be mixing as many infantry types together as possible to show the fragility of their situation...or the tenacity of the emperors own to fight to the lasthttp://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/E68748B5_zps8c857d90.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 As that old terran saying went: Never give up! Never surrender! :P Sentinel looks good, though you should drill the autocannon barrel to really finish it off. It's easier to do on larger bore guns too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 drilling out the autocannon barrel this eve... painted a sniper and swept my Deathrider objective off of my table and knocked off 2 of his legs ... :(... really freaking small pinning will be occurring.

lionofjudah Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ammobunker is hosting another comp for Jan/Feb so I'm thinking about entering 3 vehicles. I have 2 Vendettas and a Tauros Venerator that need to be finished up. Will post pics when I decide what Im doing... May work on my sons Squiggoth as well but obviously wont be able to talk about that here ;)... Course, with the talk of our new'dex coming down the pipes with the possiblity of another armageddon event happening..IM getting all excited:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Nooooo, the dreaded fall! I'm really paranoid about my models and keep them away from edges and normal activity. Fortunately I work almost exclusively in plastic now so it is less of an issue, though my carpet is the wrong colour to find small plastic bits... Keep that excitement lion, it will spur you on to greater glory! I hope to see pictures of your models soon, and word of your success shortly after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks man... I've decided to try and keep my line guardsman to 1 hour each. Vets, Sgt's, Commissars and Commanders will receive a lil more loving. The vehicles will be getting a weathering treatment ala Mig Jiminez's 'Winter Weathering'.... I'm excited to feel like I can finally paint a pretty nice army!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks guys!! I appreciate the encouragement. Life has blessed me with an hour here and there to assemble a few dudes. Worked up 3 Elysian guys from the mortar squad. Added a few of Victoria lambs heads and some anvil industries pouches ... Trying to decide where to prime next week as it's supposed to be in the single digits :0 Will take some pics tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Put 8 more elysians together.... These guys got Chadian haz env helmets. Have some maxmini armored torsos and threw a Elysian respirator head on him... Kinda like that look. No pics... It's -10 right now so definitely no priming. Cheers gents Stay warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm glad it isn't that cold here, it's bad enough though. That and the wind and rain means I'll not be priming anything soon. Speaking of which we're not that fussy you can show us unprimed models, we want to see what they look like :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 They're going to look very characterful when they're all painted up, good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Late night research and I remembered apologists lambs world guardsmen. Contemplating shaving the hoses off of one of the elysians torsos to see how it looks.Wasn't sold on the elysians 'look' so far. NOw that Ive had some awake time to think on it, Ill be taking my chisel tip xacto to a dude this eve and post up a pic for some c&c. Realized I may have misplaced the sprue of shoulder pads for these dudes:(... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 ok...note to self...always cut stuff off of dudes before you assemble them! Thought I learned that years ago :) Also, Think it looks better and definately needs some smoothing down. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/368B6B47_zps08f41e3f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachymike123 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 looking good brother. looking forward to seeing them with paint on, but i imagine you're still a tad chilly atm. i've seen the weather on your side of the pond, and it would make a valhallan proud great work fella.

lionofjudah Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Watched Total Recall and built some dudes this eve. Working on mortars and about 15 dudes... have successfully not xacto'd myself with the last batch of dudes and my thumbs are very excited about that. Trying to decide what to arm the last batch with- thinking it will be a squad of Vets...armed with GL's...just cause I dont have one of those yet:) Will try n get pics before im off to work in the am.

lionofjudah Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ugh...this weather is bumming me out... at least double digits right now and a bunch of building has occurred. Have 20 guys, 3 mortars, and 2 marines ready for primer. NO pics yet as the days have been crazy... I hope to post this eve with some progress. I recently picked up some paint on primer so I may get jiggy and do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Paint on primer? So it has come to this... Desperate times indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ok... No paint on primer... Pretty much had no time for anything not involving work or family for the last few days and starting to get skeeved off a lil. Well, I did work on my sons orks and discover game of thrones so I guess that is something but... I am at a stopping point til I get some decent weather to prime. The paint on stuff is a lil mind numbing to do:( Will hopefully have time in next day or so to build some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
