march10k Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The angle of the slung rifle is all wrong. Obviously, there's the option of slinging it in a convenient "garrison style" position where the rifle hangs behind the armpit, but that's hardly battle-ready. But in the "semi-ready" state that I think you're looking for, the barrel would be angled downward. The way it's hung is exceptionally cumbersome and the slightest movement would cause it to slip. Just my professional rifle-toting opinion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3726224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looks nice. Like the camo scheme. I like the beret head too. Is that green stuff or a head from the scions box? What is left from the vow?

WarriorFish Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 The GS wasn't really playing so that was the only way it would sit without the strap looking silly. The head is the standard Guardsman sergeant one, I'm starting to get the hang out of GSing berets now All that's left aside from the final details and touch ups is the bases so I can do them at a nice pace during the evenings this week. Expect to see the vow complete and my 3rd one pledged this weekend!

Kierdale Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Good stuff. The camo looks excellent and I really like how your men are wearing gloves! I really must go back and repaint my veterans' hands to look gloved.

WarriorFish Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks Kier, I can at least beat you on camo (until you start painting it that is :lol: ). I find the gloves make a big difference in making them look more professional as a fighting force plus I figured that if some modern forces can give their all soldiers gloves it must be an easy feat for the leviathan Imperium. Especially with an Inquisitor pulling the strings, they probably get the fanciest of gloves :P I'm unreasonably excited to have made such good progress with them, I'll try and finish the bases off as soon as I can :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3726992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Gloves are looking good, just need to get the next vow in. I await in excitement and I take it after the slog with doing infantry that it will be armour?

Just my professional rifle-toting opinion I'd say it's semi-ready right now as it's already pointing towards the enemy to fire... :P Looking good as always! Excellent camo and I do love to see infantry in their squads all orderly and correct. I'm toying with the idea of expanding my single Guardsman into a full squad by painting up his mates so this is inspiring work!

WarriorFish Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ah yes, back when Guy Ritchie was good... :P I've already planned my next vow according to time I have available so that 3rd vow is as good as mine :) You should, a single Guardsman gets very lonely all by himself!

Arkaniss Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 He's surrounded by some unpainted mates so he'll have to settle for that for now! No clues as to your next vow then? You've made some real impressive progress and I feel bad for only painting 1 model in I don't know how long. I feed off other peoples' WIP threads however, so I shall keep lurking ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3727230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it was and one of my all time favourites. Know most of the lines and you should look on youtube for snatch wars if you are a fan.

WarriorFish Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nice try, but I won't get over exciting and spill the beans on my next vow that easily ;) I even managed to get a little more done tonight, a quick slap of black getting the HWT bases up to the same level as the trooper's ready for basing: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3727275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Moving right along Warriorfish! I am a fan of gloves on my dudes as well, Im not a big fan of painting flesh (hence the respirators You are busting out an admirable amount of dudes for our ETL and your dedication to the miilitarum is duly noted!

WarriorFish Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thanks, I've certainly put the hours in - I'll not be sad to see the back of this vow! I'm looking forward to the next one, my free time is limited for the rest of the ETL as I'm on holiday a fair bit of July but I've made sure that it won't be too big so there's no risk of failure Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3727703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 In the service of the Emperor, there is no such thing as a, "holiday." Unless he has blessed you with the gift of dying in his name on one of his Garden Worlds! Excellent work on these, by the way. You're really cranking these out, kinda glad I didn't enter the ETL if this is the standard!

WarriorFish Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thanks Coffee, I suppose it's more of a training exercise. I'm dedicated to working hard and doing a good job for the Commissariat so my superiors have ordered me to go and learn how to relax As for the ETL there is no standard, just painting models as you'd usually do It's all about working as a team and getting models done so nobody is expecting master pieces - just completing all your vows before the deadline Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3727734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I almost sneaked it through My next vow will be 2 Hydras, I'm looking forward to getting back to some armour With a bit of luck I may be able to finish them before my holiday, then I might even have enough time for a 4th vow!

WarriorFish Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Through the Warp, to near and far,To Tallarn, Lethe and Ultramar,The Emperor points and we obey,Through the Warp and far away.The Platoon is done! It was a busy evening, I even made time for some muffins. I finally found my stash of transfers so I could properly complete them, but I forgot how tedious that was too They're finally finished and I am very pleased but for now time for some sleep! The pictures aren't great but I'm sure they'll look a bit better with fresh eyes - I'll be back on Sunday to make my 3rd vow and get started on it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290760-warriorfishs-etl-iii-eleven-barrels-of-hell/page/6/#findComment-3731439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Excellent work! You really must give us a step by step tutorial for that camo sometime (after the ETL). Next up is a pair of Hydras, you said?
