Squark Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 so to clarify things the models can allready be built and undercoated before the start date Yes correct... thanks mate. another question sorry, do the models have to be based as well as painted? Last year's ruling by Captain Semper was, "If you feel it necessary," I believe, but don't count on that staying the same.

Captain Semper Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yes, basing... Well, it's generally encouraged, even if it's just painting the base green or something. However the underlying rule here is to paint the mini to the best of your ability and that includes the base. So it is expected that when you declare a model complete it should be at least up to your usual standard. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289472-etl-iii-is-coming/page/4/#findComment-3660806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatSmasher Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Can any one explain how to post pictures? I think I need to have them hosted on a website to generate a URL to copy, what do you guys use? I am almost finished my first marines, including 5 sky claws and 7 long fangs. I bought these "used" (which the guy at my GW store seems to hate) and I am painting over them to get some practice. They are not particularly wolfy due to the builds from the previous owner, but I just wanted to gain experience before I started painting units I have paid full retail for. I have a question though, assuming I am using the conventional fang-russ-fenresian colour progression, which stage should I be "washing" these models. So far I have washed after the first layer (Russ) and I think I may have made a mistake because everything looks a bit muddy now, especially in the corners. Thanks.

Fytharin Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Which for those of us who proudly don’t base is good news!!!:D CatSmasher- I upload to Photobucket. I’ve had an account for 8 years and some pictures of mine are only accessible there and I’ve never had an issue. In fact they were really good at helping me recover my account when my old e-mail hadn’t been changed and I forgot my password. LOL Washes can be tricky depending on what you’re wanting to do. If you’re looking to get a shadow in the edges say between the plate of the power armor and any edges then you can try to just paint it into the crevice. In my experience I never get it dark enough with this method so base coat the model, slap it with a heavy wash, and then go back and paint your end color taking care to not paint over whereyou want the wash to stay.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I also use photobucket to upload pictures here on the B&C. I have recently aquired an unhealthy liking for basing my minis. I know it's weird, but I got all this cool sand and cork and plasticard and tubing and wiring just sitting around not being used. This way, I use a tiny bit of it at a time and it will go away in like...er, twenty years??

Captain Semper Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 You can either upload to photbucket and use the direct link here by copy/pasting it in the field provided once you click the image icon in the tool bar of the posting editor or you can make a personal gallery here in B&C and upload straight from you PC. Then use the link in your posts in a similar fashion as before. Try it out and if you have problems PM me.

Forté Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Basing is good. I use Vallejo Grey Pumice paste, Milliput, Green Stuff, dirt, sticks, bits of models, stones, all sorts.

Nrthstar Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Photobucket for some, I just use Imgur now, simple, disposable. I've been doing the same for bases, cork, wire, etc, but that Citadel basing kit for Space Wolves is so damn tempting. I can get rocks anywhere, but I'd have to cast my own ice crstals in resin to get that effect. Either way this needs to hurry up and start. I've stripped and primed my land raider, at least 6 termies almost finished stripped, and my new Arjac is assembled and primed and I'm dying to paint him. He looks amazing.

The Shadow Guard Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 So get on with it then!! Or is this your battle plan, Semper?? Get us all antsy in our pantsy nice an early so we may make a mistake and allow you yet another victory??!! LESS PROMOTION, MORE ACTION!! End of Line Angels like to warn you before we come and beat you.... unlike someone..oh so long ago... 10,000 years ago.... who threw a punch without warning..... because someone else got through the enemy defences before he did? .... We still prefer to give you adequate warning! :) SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289472-etl-iii-is-coming/page/4/#findComment-3665175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Week yes, that was totally by the book... Standard DA manual says that 1. If you openly disagree with the Lion 2. Try to pull rank on the Lion based on some obscure Imperial edict that no one really remembers 3. Your name starts with "N" and ends in "-emiel" Then you lose your head. Pretty standard.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 and when you say enemy, do you mean those like that violate Captain Semper's DA Combat Manual #3, those are loyal to the Emperor but take mysterious prisoners, or actual traitors?
