SW1's decision time - Stormlord pts?


SW1

Recommended Posts

Cool. I know I probably stated the obvious but yeah, nice one.

It's the little things that help add to the finished model. So anything you spot feel free to mention it. ;)

 

No hobbying for me now till Tuesday so expect random posts on many a thread while I whittle away the time waiting for my next plasticrack fix.

Thinking about the next vow now I'm close to finishing the first one. Prepped, undercoated and ready to go I've got ...

 

IH's Special weapons squad:

IH's Moritat:

There's also some possible RG but they're not built yet and an OOP SW rune priest in TDA.

So close to finishing my first vow. Really trying to work out what I can vow for a quick second vow.

 

Working all weekend so can't crack out the paints. However work doesn't mind me cleaning models between calls so I'm currently working my way through a box full of DV cultists for my brother and can't help but see them as Admec tech-thralls. They'd not take much to paint. Just spray block in the main bits and a light drybrush then a wash or two and done. I could probably do 30 in a single night. But they're only 35 pts for 10 so not that points effective.

 

I've also cleaned up the TDA DA's but they have the crux terminatus on so won't work for 30k. Managed to drill out the assault cannons many barrels without messing them up which is a first.

 

The other option is a bit of a risk with the Stormlord. It's finally had the imperial markings removed. So just needs some IH's bits added before painting up.

I've done a 300+ batch of imperial guard in the past and got through them very quickly so I'm quite happy to run you through it post ETL. Lol ... I'll share it once your ETL vow is finished. ;)

 

I need to think really hard about what to do as a 2nd vow. We need the points and I need to go through my collection to see what could be used as 30k models which won't take ages to paint up and are high points value. Possibilities are:

 

- Space Wolf characters ... 1 or 2 TDA rune priest, an iron priest and possibly some other characters in the old bits box

- Dark Angels ... There's the 2 characters from the DV box

- Raven Guard ... There's 30ish beakies stripped and awaiting painting but are they going to give enough points in such a short time?

- Iron Hands ... Moritat, 5 man support squad, Stormlord

 

There's some other bits which I'm unsure about like chaos marines and the many Preds I still need to do a lot of work on. I've also get a few land raiders I need to decide which colours they're going to have.

 

I think I'll end up doing 4 more smaller vows to make sure I don't throw away the points I've already accrued.

Get in! Best of luck!

 

Where would I find the points for it? I've got the legion crusade book but couldn't see it in there?

 

The price in the 2013 GW apocalypse with a pair of LC and a pintle flamer would be 540, and marine crew makes 555?

Think I've got the right points from the same source. The sponsons have LC and tl-HF in each of them so no pintle mounted extra points.

 

Worked out how I'm doing the black. Block in dark grey leaving black in the recessess and then multiple black washes. Same way I'm going to do the IH's when I get round to them.

Right better pic of the 1st vow:
