WarriorFish Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is better to wait than risk buggering something up, patience isn't a virtue for nothing ;) I've not been able to make nearly as much time as I'd like for my projects but sometimes that's how it goes! We're not going anywhere, so we can wait :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283143-working-on-my-guard/page/4/#findComment-3575921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Have switched my entry for the new ammobunker BIG model comp...was going to do my 2 valks but with this crap weather recognize that I wont be airbrushing for a few weeks at least. Going to finish my Venerator project- I converted the driver and gunner to DKOK dudes and am wanting to use the sensor pod from the Cadian Haz command team somehow.

lionofjudah Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 So heres my Tauros conversion http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/AD39E45C_zpsea11e2cf.jpg I am not a lascannon fan (especially the weedy ones that came with this) and wanted the Autocannons for continuity with my army.

WarriorFish Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looks promising! Though the front left wheel looks a bit wonky. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283143-working-on-my-guard/page/4/#findComment-3576744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ya... Came assembled and like that...:/ Figure I'm gonna cut it loose and rebuild.

WarriorFish Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah, but it will be worth it. Maybe pinning would be a good idea, I don't imagine it'll have much to stick to other than a thin axle?

hendrik Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 you could try to base it on a flyer base for increased strength? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283143-working-on-my-guard/page/4/#findComment-3576894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hendrik... You were reading my mind. It's going on one of the flyer bases like the artillery pieces:) Secret weapon on has 2 designs for the urban rubble bases so the arty gets 1, the Taurus another and when I get a third their will be a valk or a vulture on that one;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283143-working-on-my-guard/page/4/#findComment-3577098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't get bases for vehicles, they look weird and it isn't necessary for the model to stand up. Plus vehicles take up enough room in transport without sticking giant sheets of plastic to them, are you sure you can't glue or pin it in place?

lionofjudah Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I could and Im doing it for aesthetic purposes and that I find the wheels and bits to be thin and weedy. Having worked with as much resin as I have I dont want to move this once or twice on the table and have some stuff fall off of it ;) . I havent decided how I am going to move this army around yet...think I will need a bunch of the pluck foam or go ahead and take the hit on the BF custom case.

hendrik Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 i don't base most vehicles either but certain builds such as artillery carriages,, attack bikes etc just look good when placed on a nice base!

lionofjudah Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Put brush to Venerator for a few minutes this am... lil bit of white wash and some of the secret weapon 'concrete wash.' I like the concrete wash a bunch and highly recommend it if you are doing any kind of Urban scenery. I have spent my time catching up on my sons Orks right now and am preparing to assemble another 10 or so guardsman. Thinking I will use some of these new guys as artillery guys on the bases to get each arty piece to a 5 man crew. 3 guns, 15 dudes, 3 mortars, 6 dudes... ive got some building to do :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283143-working-on-my-guard/page/4/#findComment-3582775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well...few more inches of snow on the ground- So happy we had a 60 degree day between freezing spells. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/0ABBB80D_zpsb40393ef.jpg That and 2 hours of Game of Thrones allowed me to black and black/ coal black the helmets (and then remember that I wanted to do all of the armour plates on the elysians) and brown the skin, gloves and strapping.

Beachymike123 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 you're doing great brother, especially considering your weather right now. i agree GoT is a great way to get into the swing of painting, i think its the backdrop of fantasy that helps us do better and concentrate (but dammit i'm only going through season 2 so please no spoilers) . looking good though brother, keep up the great work.

WarriorFish Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 How do you watch TV and paint? I have music on but it mostly becomes background noise as I concentrate on the task at hand.
