scatmandoo Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Here is my regimental history Here is my Regimental history, The glorious Cadian 171st Regiment had originally been involved in fighting in the Ultima Segmentum against the Tyranid threat found in Hive fleet Kraken. Unfortunately despite some heroic actions they were wiped out to the man. The bells rang on Cadia and the Regiment was disbanded into history. Once the Threat of Hive Fleet Leviathan and the Ork incursion of the Forsarr sector had become apparent in the Segmentum Tempestus the High Lords decided to raise another regiment from Cadia. Then arrived the newly formed Regiment to the sector and as with any new regiment, they have been given very few combat veterans, new kit or supplies. However they do have plenty of hand me down should be scrapped vehicles and weapons, and more than enough ‘green’ troopers. Led into battle by Colonel Anders Gunderson, an officer school veteran held in high regard by even Lord Creed! How the regiment fares will be decided on how Colonel Anders bonds his men into a efficient fighting force while dealing with the odd mission from a couple of mysterious Inquisitors nearby. Early records of the company have indicated that they will soon swiftly become a highly regarded force due to some succesful encounters against both Orks and even some traitor marines. they are being reinforced by some tempestus scions and ogryn to bolster their numbers to aid their fighting skills. One skill they have found is in acquiring Plasma, be it in hand held pistols and assault rifles, Plasma cannon armoured Sentinels or even a rare Leman Russ Executioner. How they are doing this is baffling any observers but on more than one occasion the hierachy have been heard saying "It's not always what you know, it's who you know"!

scatmandoo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Far too useful, those multi blasts decimate my squads. Not impressed, . The manticore allows too many saves though. The deathstrike is the ultimate doom weapon for you though!

guinness drinking dwarf Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My wolves haven't gone up against your deathstrike yet, so wont that be a treat. Will just have to make sure the pups are up in your face before the thing goes off. Danger close and all!

scatmandoo Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 No progress on the Artillery yet as awaiting magnets. However due to some recent horrendous discipline and poor shooting drills, the 171st have been attached a new Commissar to stop the rot. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20141108_201403.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20141108_201425.jpg c and c welcome as always and sorry for the lighting quality.

Vash Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Oh man lord. That guy got swag! That hat really shows who's the boss! :) Only thing I can comment on is that I would love to see some Agrellan earth shade on that hat, and some gryphon sepia on the yellow shoulder details.

scatmandoo Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks Vash! Happy to try out new skills and tips so what are both of those paints and what would they do as I don't have them.

Vash Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks Vash! Happy to try out new skills and tips so what are both of those paints and what would they do as I don't have them. They are shades or more commonly known as washes. They are from Games Workshops paint range. GW calls them shades nowadays. So what it does is that it is a very high viscosity paint, and will fall into gaps and recesses of the miniature. This will give shades/shadows on the areas you use it on. The Agrellan earth shade is a brown shade, and the gryphon sepia is brown/red and in a lighter hue than agrellan earth. If you look on page 3 in my plog, you can see it pretty clear on the command squad. Look at the commander of that unit. His coat is washed/shaded with a dark blue shade. This gives me shades in areas where shadows are suppose to be and also gives a feel of realism.

scatmandoo Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ah ok thanks for that. I have badab black, thraka green, leviathan purple and asurmen blue washes from the old range already. I used the black on his face. Looked at your commander and i see what you are suggesting now. Will try and have a go.

Kierdale Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Agrax Earthshade, not Agrellan Earth.

Vash Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Agrax Earthshade, not Agrellan Earth. Agrellan is the cracked-effect one ARGH! Now thats a save ;) Been using Agrellan Earth way to much at the moment. Ah ok thanks for that. I have badab black, thraka green, leviathan purple and asurmen blue washes from the old range already. I used the black on his face. Looked at your commander and i see what you are suggesting now. Will try and have a go. On skin I use a purple shade/wash. Sounds strange, but it works. All my AM models are shaded/washed with leviathan purple, then followed by a layer watered down skin color. The purple gives a natural shade on skin tones I have been told by some artists.

WarriorFish Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yeah, the washes are great especially on high detail models like this fellow. He certainly looks the part and should be sorting things out for you, especially with a bolter so he must be serious!

elmo Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I use Agrax Earthshade wash for both red and skin - works for me. My red is the old Scab red, wash with Agrax then edge/highlight in Blood Red. Faces are Bronzed Flesh, highlight in Elf flesh. Paint the eyes (white dot with smaller black dot in the centre) then liberal wash with Agrax and light highlight with Elf flesh. The Agrax settles around the creases and the eyes to add depth. I tend to do the brim of the cap in gloss black to make it stand out plus you could use some Agrax on the yellow. You NEED Agrax Earthshade as it has many varied applications :) Yours looks good but any of the advice already given will help the Commissar to pop ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289182-the-cadian-171st-regiment-wip-full-regiment-shoot-p7/page/5/#findComment-3857515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
