march10k Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well, with two weeks to go, here's where I'm at on my last model: With luck, I'll be able to finish the troop compartment tomorrow and then be ready to do the wings over the weekend!

scatmandoo Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This looks good! Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well, all-righty, then. Â Got the troop compartment done, and even got a little bit of an early start on the wings. Â The top of one just needs the stripe and some highlighting, and the other one, well...it's started, but not quite as far along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Here we are...most of the fuselage is done, plus a wing...one wing, two engines, the cockpit, weapons, and landing gear to go...lots of real estate painted, but really less than 1/3 finished! /edit/ Can't wait to post a pic of four valkyries and an avenger flying in formation!

WarriorFish Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 All I can say is they better perform well on the table after all the effort you've put in :P I'm eager to see the completion shot too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 ...and a little more progress...almost done with the engines, and then it's just the cockpit, weapons, and landing gear! I trust in the emperor...I might have to play a little Wagner when the set of four comes on the table on a single rerollable reserves roll, but I'll make them pull their weight!

march10k Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 And getting closer...needs canopies, weapons, and landing gear. Should be VOW COMPLETION before the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 With time to spare, keep up the hard work! I think I might have to cut it a bit closer than I'd like but such is life. I think we could all do with a well earned break after the ETL, I'm thinking of maybe 1 or 2 days off :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just one or two? Â LOL....I may not touch a paintbrush for a week...but then I'll jump on the last (4 of 4) valk and two stormtrooper meltagunners so I can field the air cav...and the other eight stormtroopers needed to get the 35 for a maxed out air cav formation can wait!

WarriorFish Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Heh, well maybe not that little. It just feels like I'm always painting as my free time is usually spent there if possible :) You certainly warrant a break after so many models, but better still to devote that time to getting some games in with your shiny new units :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Well, I got some more work done tonight, but it reached 102 today, and it's still too hot in the house for me to endure 180 watts of incandescent light any longer, so I'll have to finish tomorrow. Â All that's left is the landing gear, and then the group photo of the whole ETL vow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Whew: And with that we bid ETL adieu! I do need to finish the air cav (10 stormtroopers and a valkyrie) and paint up another demolisher and an eradicator for a September tourney, though...

WarriorFish Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well done march, a great effort for the cause! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 So after a nice rest from the grind of finishing ETL, I got back to work on my stormtroopers. At the end of ETL, I was one valkyrie and one troops squad short of a maxed out air cav formation. Well, I've finished the meltagunners for that troops squad and made a good start on the sergeant, so 7.5 troops and one bird to go, as far as that goes: /edit/ Oh, yeah, I went ahead and did all ten bases first, it was as easy to do ten as it would be to do 2-3.

WarriorFish Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 You will be providing a picture of the full formation once you have it right? That will be a sight to see! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Naturally...the problem is that pictures of large groups tend to be blurry, but yer damned right I'll show them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 So I ran out of motivation to paint my last squad of stormtroopers. Five are done out of ten...but I did start something else, it doesn't seem like it'll take long, here's what I did last night: Still needs the other three legs and the sides done, but this is a good start. It seems like it would go with my air cav, but it's actually going to be a firing platform for pask, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 That's good progress, and it's always good to spice up the painting table like this. The ETL was all done and that's the most important thing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Looks nice, don't fancy having a flyer start on it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Gods, no! Â Said flyer would have to start in hover mode and that's inviting EVERY gun the enemy has to shoot at it, since they'll be on snap shots as soon as it starts zooming. Â No, two tanks and two wyverns on top means I'm paying less than 20ppm for a 4++ while eliminating most enemy LOS shenanigans by elevating my firing position.

hendrik Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 i have tried that tactic,with mixed results. are fortifications still put down before terrain in 7th? this was a very usefull counter (although not that sporty imo) against this tactic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Fortifications that you paid for are now deployed with your army. Fortifications that are neutral pieces of scenery are deployed while building the game board. They fixed the ~censored~ cheat of hunting down the largest building in the shop's collection and plunking it smack dab in the face of the enemy fortification...because, you know, good generals always build their bunkers where they have no fields of fire! Anyway, it's not an issue, and the ~4" of elevation that the skyshield provides tended to limit the enemy's ability to block it with a tall building (a huge benefit over the ADL!). It's finished!!!! Or, a cheesy upgrade to a superheavy: Or, the way I'll be using it (with hydras or wyverns tucked in behind!): ...and now I guess I have to get back to my last five stormtroopers, LOL...but only till I buy my first wyvern/hydra on Tuesday!
