Barabbas Sogalon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 What's wrong with a little snow during the winter? Good use of the mk III command body. When do we get to see the shoulder pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Haha, you loathe snow... It's seriously my favorite thing about the winter months. But hey, we bond on Demon's Souls, so we'll call it even ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Pretty soon, I'm working on finishing Vanya now, as well as working on a test model for the new project. I'll certainly wash a handful tonight, and get them glued on. Maybe even prime the models tonight, finally. And, as proof that I'm working: Vanya and Test, WIP: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1618_zps05c52601.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1617_zpsfc11f9ad.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1616_zps4db427c4.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1619_zps8f94d8a3.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1620_zps40e629fd.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1621_zps9b32dbc6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Oh, since tomorrow is Valentines day, I'd like to leave you guys with a Valentine of my own: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/Night_Lords_Assault_zpsd792b686.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Tiny tip if you're using Photoshop to add lettering. Stroke adds a nice outline and drop shadow or outer glow make the lettering stand out that bit more. Lovely valentine though. Now go tear some hearts out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkyn Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I used Paint. Plain old Microsoft Paint. I'd love to get Photoshop, but pirating is not my thing, and it's WAAAAAY too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well, getting stood up sucks, but coming home to find this in the mail was awesome. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1626_zps43b6775e.jpg Oh yes, that's a blister of Rogue Trader minis. I was specifically looks for the older brother of this guy: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/champandmos2.jpg But the rest are awesome too. And, in addition to not wasting money at a good restaurant, I watched Pacific Rim. I want those Imperial Knights. Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkyn Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 So, my three day weekend has begun. I started it off by organizing each project I've been working on. Text dumps and image references/inspiration have gone into respective folders by Legion number, and I began the monumental task of writing up lists based on each project's theme. Just as a reference, I'm putting the various projects here, as a sorta spoiler. VI: Murder-Make Warpack, under the command of Jarl Asbjorn Bloodmaw VII: 293rd Company, under the command of Centurion Castor Melanthios VIII: 100th Company, under the command of Captain Marek Vanya XI: 18th Company, under the command of Centurion Saul Mithra XII: 43rd Maniple, under the command of Blooded-Captain Sandor Kerr XIII: First Company, 1st Chapter, under the command of Marius Gage XX: Theta-Four Cerberus, under the command of Alpharius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Well, I've gone and done it now... Stopped by my LGS today to have a chat about some Knights. Left with a few boxes to start on ANOTHER Legion project. Now to start assembling... EDIT: The Vaunted First Legion come to play. "Little Night Lords, watch out, the First has come for YOU!" Counts-as Cataphractii. I wanted the shields so badly, but the Legion list doesn't have them. So, the shields count them as Cataphractii armour. I have some volkite chargers to add to their waists as well, I just need to wash them. "Come at me, Bro!" Sergeant: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1627_zps7b6b03a8.jpg "Frak!

Larkyn Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Heard from Chessex today. I'll be having a handful of these made up: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/unnamed1_zps8bb50f99.jpg I also have plans for dice for each of my armies, over the course of this year, to replace the crappy boring dice I have now.

Larkyn Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 *Sigh* Guys, what am I doing? Why, oh why did I have to go and paint up this color scheme? Probably my least favorite Legion, but I just felt the need to try it out. I mean, all that praying...all the papers and book burning...and then getting shamed by the Emperor and Papa Smurf. Good thing they got revenge... http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1632_zps647f000f.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1633_zpsbd8fd7b1.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1634_zps4fd6b7d4.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1635_zpsb34beee7.jpg I don't know if this will go anywhere, I doubt it.

Kol Saresk Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hey, i'm sure you can pull it off. Just think of it as providing contrast for the Legions you do like to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Very sweet... if it wasn't for the horrid thought of having lots of figure models at that scale to paint, I'd have totally gone that scale for tank warfare, those raiders are so cute ! I'd trade them all for one Spartan and a Proteus right now though :D Very nice horde you have there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah...Painting that HUGE amount of stuff isn't going to be easy. But, it might, since they're so small. That collection began in 2006, June, to be exact. My former best friend and I decided to start up Epic as our Summer Project. I chose Guard, he chose Marines. We started pretty small, I picked up a Guard infantry box, a Leman Russ squadron box, some storm troopers and the arty box. Still came to a pretty penny. He chose the SMurf company, rhinos, land raiders, and vindicators. After a few games, we came to realize it was one of the best games GW has ever made. But then summer ended, school began again, and we didn't play Epic nearly as much as we played 40k. After shelving the armies for a while, but keeping up with the rules releases, I eventually bought the Marine contingent off of my friend. Then came the info that GW was canning the specialist games. I must have spent nearly a grand on Epic models. It was definitely at least $600. Even though no one around here plays Epic, the models are fantastic for their scale, the metal rhinos and land raiders look EXACTLY like their 40k counterparts, except smaller. I had always intended to start up an Epic league at my LGS, but have never gotten around to it. But now, I think I will. The Heresy bug has bitten me, and bitten me hard. I can only think of a few themes that I would want to theme a campaign, and my armies around, and the one I have in mind pits two Legions against each other: one is my least favorite, and the second is one most people dislike the 40k counterpart to, but I think really like the 30k version. The Battle of Calth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MordentHex Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 EPIC! NICE! I didn't know anyone still played that, its great to see it! I loved the old Titan Legions game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah, Epic is pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to dividing up my Epic stuff between the Word Scrubs and the Ultrascrubs. Oh, and while I'm here, I forgot to add this one earlier. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1656_zps952c4260.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
