captain sox Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Update time! Progress on the Hydra about 90% Done. Need to do the treads, and heavy weathering and the crew http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo3_zps0a3ff92e.jpg And tonight I whipped up this guy: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo2_zpsddbcb430.jpg This is what my Scions will look like, though with feedback, I may modify some of the colours. What do you think? Red too vivid? Is the Gold too bright? They will be riding in a Valkyrie Night Fighter.... stay tuned.

elmo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I like it. The gold and red are not too bright but help to break up and add interest to the darker shades and the hydra is looking great.

CoffeeGrunt Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Really liking that Scion's colour scheme, it's suitably muted but the red and gold make it pop a little and stop it being dull. Also liking the Hydra, keep us posted once you start weathering. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294884-soxs-astra-guard-army-tanktastic-update-on-page-3/page/2/#findComment-3799576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Agreed, both look really good :D The colour scheme is great for Stormies, helps them stand apart from the rank and file too. Seriously though, I've already said I'm getting some Scions. Everyone can stop posting up awesome pictures of them :lol:;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294884-soxs-astra-guard-army-tanktastic-update-on-page-3/page/2/#findComment-3799652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Scion looks great. I wouldn't change anything about it.

For the HQ (guys in the Beret) its Eshin Grey for the fabrics, washed in Nulin Oil then highlighted with Dawnstone.

WarriorFish Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Comic Sans to boot! There's a time and a place for it, and that isn't here! You better make amends for this heresy sox in the form of many models ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294884-soxs-astra-guard-army-tanktastic-update-on-page-3/page/2/#findComment-3823428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 LOL to all the above. First off, I want to clarify, all the models (except Valkyrie) are stripped, bare and nude. I wouldn't subject you fine folks to images of anything else. Second, I decided to take my army in a new direction, and I needed to think long and hard what I wanted to do. It wasn't an easy decision, but that leads me to point number 3. My army has grown so quickly, I needed to change up the scheme to something more manageable. To answer Warriors questions, there are MANY MANY MANY models to be painted. You will not be disappointed. I'll post images by the weekend. stay tuned!

WarriorFish Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I repainted my Guard many years ago. Or rather I started repainting... technically not finished as there's 2 HWTs outstanding As long as you don't also decide to repaint another army at the same time like I did you'll be ok Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294884-soxs-astra-guard-army-tanktastic-update-on-page-3/page/2/#findComment-3823900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Never really repainted an army before as much as did some touch ups. Nevertheless, good luck to you Sox, can't wait to see what you paint up!

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I concur! As a fellow desert camo enthusiast, I demand more dusty-coloured tanks!

captain sox Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Here's a few views of the new camo on my Vanquisher. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_8478_zps8caefa0e.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_8476_zps515ef7ca.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/IMG_8477_zps22dc49f2.jpg the pinkish brown is Bugmans Glow... I was looking for more of a pinkish colour instead of another brown, so I rolled the dice and will see what happens. I have Steel Legion Drab as the base colour, Castellan Green, and Zandri Dust as the other camo colours. Still need to do the metallics and weathering. Hoping it'll turn out to be a good scheme! Sorry for the blurry Sasquatch-esque photos. iPhone and espresso not a good mix.

Joasht Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've always been curious; does the Baneblade in the Hammer of Cadia box come with bits for the variants? If so, which ones?

Just the Baneblade and Hellhammer unfortunately, that would explain some of the savings that can be made on the set over individual models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294884-soxs-astra-guard-army-tanktastic-update-on-page-3/page/2/#findComment-3833044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
