Love the bikers, ace sculpting!

[Atia]

 

 

@Atia: haha thanks! Although I do kinda take offence at this blatant deflation of the meaning of the word adorable. 

gnehe, you know, stuff like Samus, Glottkin or Archmagos Draykavac are "adorable" too, atleast for me :P

[Augustus b'Raass]

@Pearson73: cheers buddy, glad you like it. 

 

@Atia: Well, alright. Although I'd describe Draykavac more of a cutiepie than as adorable...

 

Also did the bases of the Rapier Quad Heavy Bolters tonight, right before nap time.

Hope you like, and goodnight! :D

[Quixus]

Nice.  Where did you get those double t beams?

[Grizzly_bear]

Wow this thread is just awesome brother

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Nice.  Where did you get those double t beams?

 

Could have made them himself, but Gale Force 9 sell a pack of plasticard which comes with just such a piece. Great basing on the Rapiers. Gods I miss my hobby equipment.

[Augustus b'Raass]

@Quixus: at some local hobby store, but as BCA said ^^, GF9 also sells them.

 

@Grizzly_bear: hey dude! Cool of you to stop by, and great that you like what you see. :)

 

@BCA: Yup, GF9 has awesome stuff. I picked up their sculpting tools years ago and never regretted it. :tu:

[Midnightmare]

My that is a hefty vow, good luck with all that! Kudos on all the building (loving the bikers!)

 

Very nice Hellblade btw :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks Mdinight Runner!

Today my prize came in. I participated in and won a competition on FB in February - basically whoever got the most likes won AUD500 to spend on an online store. The winnings coincided with the release of the Blood Thirster, my doubling up with a mate who ran a nasty daemon army in a 2v2 40K game, AND a massive sale on the webstore in question. So I was a lucky duck by being able to stack discount with free money and this is the result:

DAMN that's a lot of miniatures! Ninety-six (96!) to be precise. No idea how I'm going to paint them all, but I do know that the bloodletters will resemble the ones in the new Daemonkin codex (red and black) and the Plague Bearers will be mostly flesh-coloured.

 

Also, I got my Gal Vorbak in from FW. Hot damn these are superb looking models. They look absolutely fantastic and I'll enjoy converting them into and running them as spawn.

[Biohazard]

Nice one. And congrats again on the win. :tu:

[ShVagYeR]

So much win... I bet the dice love you too!

 

But seriously, congrats on the bargain. Can't wait to see all that warp spawn painted. :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

@Biohazard: and thanks again mate!

 

@ShVagYer: Haha well as long as I roll enough of them, eventually they will lov e me (it's why I always run a Triple Quad Heavy Bolter Rapier Battery in my army - 18 TL BS4 S5 AP4 shots are bound to kill anything that isn't armour 12+) ;)

[Atia]

awesome! you're going to safe that stuff for next call of chaos? :D

And I hope you're using that stuff for the ETL ;)

[Teetengee]

Couple thousand more points for the paint gods if you do!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Haha don't overestimate it everyone! Some of these models will DEFINITELY get vowed for the ETL this year, but don't overestimate it: a 10-man squad of regular daemons is less than 100 points. I do also have four Blood Crushers that need paint, and these are less cheap, points wise. So they might get priority. ;) :tu:

So NO, Atia, I will not wait until the CoC... 

[Teetengee]

yeah, but the wo battlegroups are probably around 500-750 each plus the bloodthirster alone puts you well above 1k, plus the other units, might be around 2k.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Yup. I added it all up and all the daemons in the picture plus the bloodcrushers add up to 1636 pts... But that's a helluva lotta models for 'only' 1636 points... Hmmm

[Kilofix]

I like the little bits and conversions you do to your models Aug. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the Scorpion.

[Chaeron]

Yup. I added it all up and all the daemons in the picture plus the bloodcrushers add up to 1636 pts... But that's a helluva lotta models for 'only' 1636 points... Hmmm

 

It definitely is more models than my vow, which is about double that points wise. Daemons are just very cheap!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Speaking of....

... I did a tournament today at Games Workshop Amsterdam South and won! It was a 14 players tournament with three 1v1 pre-set Maelstrom of War rounds, where the winners of each round had to face the other winners, and the losers faced the losers. You could get one points each for massacres, painting/basing, preparedness (bring the rulebook, six objectives, clear army list, dice, tape measure, and templates), and one point for each 'most sportive opponent' nomination. I won all my games (12-2 vs Eldar, 17-3 vs Sisters of Battle, 17-3 vs Tyranids) and got all extra points and one 'most sportive opponent' nomination, which combined yielded me first place! Yay!

 

My 999 points army list was this:

HQ

Chaos Lord, with VotLW, MoN, Blight Grenades, Bike, Lightning Claw, Power Fist, Sigil of Corruption, (175)

TROOPS

Cultist (9x), Cultist Champion (50)

Cultist (9x), Cultist Champion (50)

FAST ATTACK

Heldrake with Baleflamer

Bikers (3x) with two flamers, Biker Champion with Meltabombs and Lightning Claw, VotLW, MoN (148)

HEAVY SUPPORT

Havocs (6x), Havoc Champion, 4x Missile Launcher (161)

Maulerfiend (125)

Rapier Quad Heavy Bolter Battery (3x) (120)

 

The prize was €40,- in gift vouchers, so I added some cash and got the new Promethium Relay Pipes and a Basilica Administratum, from both of which I'll be taking parts to use on the scenic base of my Brass Scorpion!

 

Additionally, I've been doing some painting on my Nurgle Bikers and managed to get two almost finished yesterday evening. Here's some pictures.

Thanks buddy! I really try to convert/kitbash/add detail to each and every single miniature I have, and (large) vehicles in particular lend themselves to extra detailing

Which is exactly why I shy away from doing them, as I'd like to get the most points out of my painting time during the running of the ETL Edited May 24, 2015 by Augustus b'Raass

[GhostMalone]

Brother your in Amsterdam? I'll be there August 8th

[Augustus b'Raass]

Dude seriously? We need to play a game or hang out! PM me. :tu:

[Augustus b'Raass]

Alright, another night of building is done and this is the result: the CHaos Vindicator with Twin Bolter and Extra Armour. Lots of trophies again, and I used the head of a rapier crew member, which looks just fantastic in this mech role. 

 

I did manage to loose the top targeter bit after the shoot... And I now cannot find it anywhere. Totes annoying. I might have to find a solution to this... :( Anyhow, here's the pics:
