I painted some last night and added grey to the weapons, brought the metals up to boltgun and used PP's armour wash on the metals... the storm troopers received a coat of red to the fancy detailing on their shoulders...will be adding white to the armor and then highlighting the clothing and will probably call these guys done and move on to the next round of dudes... have downloaded a copy of the codex and will work on getting my ETL points together..

I have also recognized how much I dont like mobi and pub files on my laptop...just irks me trying to read them and I really wish GW would pdf their books...

There was a small roll back over the weekend unfortunately not everything could be recovered. The first picture in the album seems to not show properly?

I had my first 2 ETL pics up...theyre not there anymore... :(... I will repost them. Glad the brothers were able to fix everything!

First mobile update... My guard see action for the first time in almost a year against the WAAGH! Of me son...

Wish I could say the guard won.... My dice did not favor me and the orks advance was not slowed by much
http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/89D27E1F_zpse1b42490.jpg
The ork vehicles exploded left and right, the macharius decimated the burna squad and the warboss was laid low by sustained fire(darn I forgot orders again... :/

They got into our lines and the day ended tragically for the sons of Artemis

Sounds like you had a lot of fun, you'll get vengeance next time I'm sure msn-wink.gif Maybe if all of your models were painted the dice gods would favour you more? tongue.png

I am endeavoring to get my ETL completed... if I do I will have a fully painted and based army (to my liking ; ) for the first time EVAR!!

Upon seeing the pic I am excited to get everybody finished so I can snow and ice the bases all at once.

Finished my sons MekaDred this am and after gluing the arms on realized just how big the model is and how hard it will be to transport it smile.png GLad he has a Stompa as well (will be avoiding the new Ork walker as it looks like a toaster and I have a Mr Potatohead I've been wanting to use for a walker for awhile...

I am finished with my xenos rant and will get back to the imperial fold tomorrow eve.

On a side note, last nights Game of Thrones ending... shoooooo

Ah, I suppose I should have caught up with that tonight to avoid spoilers... I'll keep my head down tomorrow and watch it after I get home from work :lol:

 

Getting an entire army done is what makes it all worth it! You can stare at completed squads all day but nothing compares to seeing them all on the table fighting for victory. Of course as I mentioned the rolls for a painted army just seem to be better ;)

Heres my next group of doods for my ETL...new sgt and a priest

http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/BB78EDB3_zps61d535b0.jpg

some filler guys for my other squads. Turned my old sgt into a vox/standard bearer. I didnt really plan on where these guys were going to fit in the squad and I just built them up for the rule of cool.

Lil updated pic... been a lil wild on the real life scene around home.

http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/7E238B5B_zpsa9691da2.jpg

washed a mortar in agrax and another in nuln oil to see which I liked best.

will let those dry and hopefully be working on them this eve.

Ran out of black primer and went with the white... wow thats a big difference!

Great to see all the progress! Also great to see another man who's brought his son into the hobby. How old is your son, if you don't mind my asking? My oldest will be 8 in a month and I'm wondering if it's almost time to introduce him to the hobby ...

 

Just a reminder on your vow, I see Captain Semper still has yours listed as "tbd" points and I didn't see an update in the ETL thread to your initial vow post here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290390-e-tenebrae-lux-iii-imperial-guard-strategium/page-10?do=findComment&comment=3689828

Nico- my son is 11 and loves Orks, my oldest stepson is 10 and is our rules lawyer and table builder and the youngest is 7 and has a few orks , some WOC leftovers and a flyrant ... I honestly haven't read our new 'dex yet to get all the Pts together . On my list behind the honeydoo's.

Thx warriorfish... I am plugging away on my first vow so I can add another before it's over. I'm guesstimating a solid 1k in points for the cause:)

Alright guys... need a lil help... which wash strikes you best?- top is agrax/middle is nuln/ bottom is without either..

Heres a shot of the work on the priests jacket thus far this eve... and all I am doing tonight smile.png

Thanks warriorfish... I've added some more to his trim and painted the base colors on the other guys I was working on. Washed them in nuln oil and am starting to detail them.

Can't seem to get a decent pic right now and am recognizing my painting time of midnights to 2 am the last 2 nights is wearing me out a lil.

I am closing in on finishing the infantry for my ETL vow and am stoked to get to the fun stuff... Vehicles!!!!!!!!!!

So I have 2 mostly assembled vendettas and a thunderer that needs more detailing. I will be getting a new needle and spray nozzle for my airbrush and am excited to try out some different techniques for counter shading on the panels.

I'll be using the hairspray technique for winter white washing and have a full pot of typhus corrosion as well as 6/7 oil paints for weathering the armour when it's ready.

 

Im closing in on my first vow and hope to get some good pics up after work today.
