walter h Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Looking good, really enjoying the urban color scheme, but didn't notice any battle damage,or markings.

WarriorFish Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Very nice, I see you're making the most of the extra base space. Maybe another bit or something on the base would help?

Chapter Master Furious Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) so back again with a complete heavy weapon squad (once again pardon the poor quality on some of the photos, working on a Light box) so there you have it my first heavy weapon squad @walter h: so I do have some regimental insignia on the left shoulder pads on all of my troops (red line with the winged skull motif) but not unit i have completed my platoons, I'm going to wait on the squad markings @WarriorFish: I did notice that the bases are lacking a bit , next time going to include more rocks/ equipment on the bases, give it more depth and narrative. so all i have left to paint so far in my force is as follows: 1 Valkyire 1 Tempestus squad (5 man) 1 infantry squad 1 platoon command squad 1 Commissar (Officio Prefectus model) when complete, i will be at 1020 points. so I'm going to finish what i have first so that I can gather more $$ for more units, and as well i'll be back at college next week so my time will be limited. but I would like to say thanks for all of comments and responds that you have all given me! I am loving how my Astra Militarum army is progressing, as this is my first non- power armour army (EVER) So once again look forward more progress on the Gregorian 101st! (finally named them!)

hendrik Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 once you pop you can't stop! seeing you've hit the 1000 pts mark i'm affraid the next stop is 1500 pts! ;) I noticed that you've not used your lascannons yet, if so, how about gluing two of them together, cut of their barrel and glue it on again upside down. put a pin in it and you can mount it on your valkyrie (pin the missile pods too so you can switch between valkyrie and vendetta). also, don't glue in the wings for easy transportation Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3911129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 They look really good, don't forget to drill the barrels if you have the tools as that makes a bit difference. For future HWTs don't be afraid to mix in different bits from other Guard bits to spice them up, for example using standing legs so you can use the kneeling ones for other gunners etc :) Great to be watching the Gregorian 101st form up we'll be needing a group picture soon :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3911158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Furious Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm back with more progress! I'm trying to squeeze as much painting in this week as i can before i have to head back to school. So i Completed my Officio Prefectus Commissar, which turned out a lot better than i expected since I've completed him, I decided to move on to starting to figure out a colour scheme for my squad of Tempestus Scions, and i came up with this: Honestly im not sure how i feel about it, might need to think it over. But as always let me know what you think, and comments and suggestions are always welcomed!

WarriorFish Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 They both look great, the white and black on the Commissar are very good along with the details - you should be pleased with him! I like the Scion scheme too, I'm thinking of something similar for mine. Red is a strong colour and goes well with black (just ask the Inquisition!). You've done us proud with the work you've been producing, keep it up :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3912502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Furious Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks Warriorfish for the Feedback! though I wasn't too pleased with the highlight for the red armour, i used mepheston red and looked to much like a fire engine red. so for the second Scion i painted i highlighted the armour with wazadakka red: which turned out A LOT better! more of a maroon/ crimson i was looking for! hoping to get the last two guys done today! and more picture will be coming soon!

WarriorFish Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I find there isn't much difference between the GW reds, seems like there's only really two of them - Red Gore and Blood Red (or whatever they're called now)! Looking good, I may have to adopt a similar scheme for my Scions when I get them done...

WarriorFish Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Alas a bit of a wait for them, I have to clear the decks of current projects before I can rewards myself with them. Until then I live through other people's Scions ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3914303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Furious Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 As promise i have finished my Scion Squad! and they are a nice looking punch. hoping to make them into a 10 squad at some point. now just three things to do on my list (Valkyrie, Infantry squad, platoon command squad) and that should be the first 1000 points done! our_baz, CoffeeGrunt and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3914637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Great work, all they need is the side of the bases tidied up and the bolt pistol and melta barrels drilled and they'd be perfect :D You've got a good pace going so don't let up and you will soon be at 1000pts! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3914762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wow, great colour scheme on the Scions, the red really stands out! Loving the Commissar as well, I've yet to paint mine sadly.

WarriorFish Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The scheme looks great on it, you have no excuses not to do another (or two...) ;) The grey is nice with the highlighting and I still like your basing but I think it could do with a little more colour. Have you thought about picking out some of the bits and bobs in metal for example the sensor type arrays on the front, and the piping on the engines? It'd help break up the grey and round the model off nicely.

our_baz Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Great progress. Very distinguishing colour scheme on the Scions. Nice they way you've tied in all the colours of the army on your Valk.

Chapter Master Furious Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello Fellow Commanders So as i stated before in my previous post, been busy with school and life, BUT as of yesterday i officially finished the first 1000 (roughly) points of the Gregorian 101 Regiment! this is a milestone in my hobby carrier as i am finally fulling a long time ambition of collecting Imperial Guard Astra Militarum army for quite some time now ( almost 4 years). So To celebrate this milestone I have (attempted) taken some Army shots of the current force as of now. Still working on lighting issues for pictures as of now, but all in due time. But without further adue, heres the Gregorian 101 Regiment. The Last picture is of my Commander of the Force, who shall not be named (yet) anyways, thanks for looking and commenting and stay tuned for more progress CM Furious Brother Handro, Kierdale and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3967691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Great job on reaching the 1000 point mark! Good looking guys, as well. The only thing to do now is celebrate- by painting more Guard!

Chapter Master Furious Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 haha thanks for all the comments! well though i have big plans for this army, i have a bit of a immediate List of things to get Company Command Squad x2 Leman russes heavy weapons squad x2 Veterans though its small, this is just to finish up what i had in mind for this army but feel free to recommend units i should invest in as well! thanks again CM Furious Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289978-astra-militarum-gregorian-101st/page/3/#findComment-3968352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Good looking army...keep on painting. May I suggest some ogryn's I have a soft spot for these new sculpts.

elmo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 but feel free to recommend units i should invest in as well! It all depends on what you want... Do you collect for gaming, fluff or because you like the look of a model? Personally if it looks good then I will get it no matter how well it works on the table ;) Bulgryns/Ogryns would not be a bad choice and they seem to be on most peoples painting list.
