CoffeeGrunt Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I do like how all of us have brought something a little unique to each submission, truly the strength of the Guard lies in its unrivalled variety! I know I've seen a lot of tips and tricks that I aim to put into use, (or in the case of Elmo's weathering trick for Valkyries, have already put into use...thanks for being so much earlier than me for that, Elmo!) The rear door gunners are another cool feature I'd like to try again. Plus that Stormlord is going to inspire my own Macharius Vulcan, and the ground vehicles on display are sporting a lot of nice techniques to carry over to my own vehicles. (There has been a Manticore kit sitting in my local store for several weeks now I've been pondering, and while digging out the Macharius from one of the store owner's collection of old models they're aiming to sell, there's a Destroyer Tank Hunter sitting unbuilt in a box. Please stop me before I buy it all!) D: Looking forward to the next challenge though. This was a great exchange of ideas, and it's a real pity geography won't allow us to collect the entries together into a sweet group shot to show those Power Armour Pansies who gets the real rides into battle!

WarriorFish Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well said both! I love my tanks so I was eager to get into this challenge especially as I had long planned a Veteran Chimera with extra bits, but to have finally got a weathering method that I can do and be happy with is the icing on the cake Granted that is mostly due to Typhus Corrosion but I'd no doubt still be trying to come up with an approach if is wasn't for excellent ideas and advice from comrades Painting competitions and Guard at their finest The Union Flag is indeed freehand, but given it's made of straight lines it's simple enough. I have likely unobtainable goals for freehand in the future but everyone starts somewhere and nobody gets anywhere without trying Onwards and upwards - I'm taking a little break from 40k projects for the moment but you can be sure I'll be back soon. Until then I'll live vicariously through your projects so keep working hard!

+DAN+ Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks to everyone for the positive comments and suggestions throughout the challenge. Really love the way members get involved with other people's projects and offer their views and suggestions. Can't wait for the next I.g challenge....I shall go back under my rock until then Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/11/#findComment-3820738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Stepping down? Yes. Come the end of the month, I'll be back in the ranks! Basically I don't feel I have enough time to commit to moderating. I have a rather hyperactive son for one , plus I can probably then put what free time I do have into actual modelling.

elmo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Or 2 superheavies.... I have been ignoring my baneblades ;) Just depends on how long a time frame we have for completion.

WarriorFish Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Close enough: here's the OP link Sadly I don't have the time for a good conversion challenge, but please let us know if you plan to take part with any Guard contributions so we can follow your progress :D As for Big Guns, you know what vehicles are valid - any non-transport vehicle or any super heavy - so what's stopping you assembling it in advance? We're not looking at anything until later this year, possibly early next year so there's plenty of time. I will keep everyone updated with the timings Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/11/#findComment-3820840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Good to hear!

captain sox Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm debating what to do next... I stripped my army (excpet for the Valkyrie) and am re-painting it completely. I think the Hellhounds are next for me too, but then there's the Hellhammer...

Grotsmasha Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So.....I have a dilemma. I llike participating, and I don't want to miss my opportunity for a rank increase, but as per my fluff (and financial status) I don't and won't have any tanks. The Baulkney 71st relies on Sentinals for it's heavy support.I would like to put it out for consideration that I be able to participate with a trio of Sentinals to balance the workload as compared to a single tank.

WarriorFish Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I love Sentinels, so how could I refuse such an offer? Don't forget to visit the Parade of Honour to post your completed transports as Kier said. It's not just your sig you should be using to show off :P Keep to the rules to keep the topic size down, but for single model entries like this you can put a few images up per post Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/11/#findComment-3822144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
