jay170788 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hey Everyone I have been lurking here on the forums for quite some time. Mainly just picking up some tidbits on playing style with BA in 6th etc and have slowly acquired a few models due them being the first codex I ever bought back when I just read the books for fluff before I collected models for gaming. Have just kit bashed and painted my Libby, here he is (apologies for the shaky hand syndrome, was taken in a rush before heading out and didn't check before shooting out):- http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz16/jay170788/20140124_212313_zps8ca7beeb.jpg I have joined a gaming group now who have just started a planetary empires campaign. (In said campaign we can ally with each other as long as we hold a starport, we are always Allies of Convieniance this way). So the tyranid player asked me to ally with him and I brought along my BA. He gave me around 400 points of his army and so I took the following... Libby w/bike (got Iron Arm and Enfeeble) 5 tacticals (sat in the bastion on the quad gun) Fragioso w/ Heavy flamer & pod We were playing eldar and he seized, POOF my Libby explodes. Fraggy dropped and just ran around the whole game scaring his bikes away (playing the Purge the Alien). Tac's on the quad gun were stars, wiping out two squads of two war walkers and taking the last wound off a farseer with mantle of the laughing god. Overall we won 11-4 and a good fun game.

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That sounds like a heck of a fight! Well done! Also, the libby looks really cool, did you go with a darker shade of blue then usual?

jay170788 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah my Libby is based off kantor blue. Don't want him to bright. My army is to be a toned down army. One destined to fight in the depths of dark., am hoping to stick true to the colour scheme except for of course the darkened libby and my vehicles. I am not a huge fan of the sea of red so to speak so my vehicles are black with the accentuations in red (almost like flesh tearers) but across the board am hoping it will look good against the block red of the infantry. For instance this is the start on my Raven:- http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz16/jay170788/IMG-20140110-WA0008_zps96e3394a.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286168-my-first-steps-into-the-shadows-of-sanguinius/#findComment-3580642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Cool! I see your painting over the cockpit windows of the raven?

jay170788 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah I bought it built so had no choice mate. But seems fitting that it'd be tinted due to solar flares etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286168-my-first-steps-into-the-shadows-of-sanguinius/#findComment-3580872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine Eternal Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I like your libby, very cool. Don't worry, I paint over my cockpits anyways. I paint the glass in a gold to mimic some sort of solar shielding. Looks good, keep up the good work.

Terrahawk Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Welcome aboard Brother. Not surprisingly I do like the colour scheme you got going on for your vehicles...
