Daemon2027 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks guys. I am worried I have gone slightly overboard with him. Is it to much? Im in a bit of a melancholy mood today. I am thinking Alpha Legion again. I may keep the Iron Hands as an army project now, no more big conversions just crank out models to paint, and on the side convert a Victory is Vengeance Alpha Legion cell. A Centurion, some vets, some weapon specialists, and some headhunters. Could even mix in later armour and say its a Scouring force? What do you guys think?

MindOfMetal Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think thats a good idea. Use the iron hands to create a decent sized playable army and use the alpha legion as an outlet for your obvious creativity and play victory is vengeance with them.

Fire Golem Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Still no Despatch email from FW, getting very impatient! In a minute I'm gonna go meet my GF from the DIY shop she works at, might pick up a dust mask, do I need a particular one? And is there anything else I'd need?

Fire Golem Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Okay so I got a dust mask, it says it's okay for industrial sanding so I'm guessing it should be fine.

Wyvern Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hail brothers. unfortunately progress has been slow this week as Grandfather Nurgle has seen fit to bestow his "blessings" an incredibly virulent strain known to the mortals as the dreaded "man flu" but the other 9 members of 1st squad are 85% modeled and Centurion Taros Wyvernbane captain of the 56th assault company is base coated and first cpl of wash's done, i have next week off work so that should see me back on track Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/19/#findComment-3807701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Lucian Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 You wont get a dispatch mail in the weekend, so Monday earliest? Also, orders on or over the free shipping limit gets shipped faster than those below (in my experience). It normally takes 2-3 days for my orders to get shipped, and then 4-5 days to arrive. (Airmail to DK). Not that it should delay it that much.. Anyway it could be that part of the order is in backlog and is delaying it all.

Fire Golem Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Things still get dispatched on Saturday don't they? They do from other companies.

grand_master85 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 They do. But if it has been sometime since you ordered with them, it's worth ringing up. I had a £300 order delayed once just because they didn't have a single pack of Volkite Chargers.

Slips Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah...remember when I almost freaked out because of how long I though you were waiting on that order? Call Forgeworld or send them an email (or better yet go to warhammer world since your in the country). GW and by extension FW have pretty awesome customer service so I don't see you running into any problems. Also : did you order something that was on pre-order or only ~10 tac marines + some upgrade kits?

Fire Golem Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't live close enough to Warhammer World haha, I will email them. I ordered 20 tac marines, 20 bolters, Tyberos and the LACAL book.

Slips Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah, nothing in there should've taken that long to get to you...

Brother Vidius Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hi guys! Due to work commitments I've not had a chance to get any work done on my Iron Warriors. So I'll post up some pics of finished/nearly there units. http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh567/Vidius22/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps4ebcbc14.jpg Cheap HQ option. Legio Mortis aligned Knight-needs some touch ups and decals added http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh567/Vidius22/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps8978e5f2.jpg Some basic marines. Not happy with the hazard markings so I will be repainting those. http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh567/Vidius22/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsd1df57eb.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/19/#findComment-3808719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Some progress! My Mrs and I have been away since Friday for a wedding in Scotland, and after uploading these photos on Friday morning before leaving the house I then spent an embarrassing amount of the train journey from London trying to figure out how to post them using the mobile interface through a countryside of bad signal.... So here I am, home again, posting an update! Work continues nicely on the Lord of the Red Sands - I've still got a way to go on him, but I'm really happy so far. I can't even tell you how much Army Painter Strong Tone has changed my life. It's absolutely fantastic. I will admit to being slightly nervous about the next steps of his face. Anyone have any good tutorials for faces/eyes? I don't want to have to scrap the whole thing because I lazy-eyed a pupil... I'm almost done with the Red Butchers as well, which is good. Just one more base to do, and some touch ups and I think I'm there!

grand_master85 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Here's a small update. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of watching the highly addictive The Killing Trilogy boxset so my hobby progress has been very slow. The Imperial Fists didn't go well and I've decided to get back into my Alpha Legion instead. I wanted to go for something different and had planned for them to be in mk III armour, big blocks of troops, heavy weapons and tanks. Something a little unexpected. So I've decided to put to use the glorious IF upgrade kits. Here is the WIP for my Praetor and a couple of Templar Brethren. The Praetor is closer to how the finished result will be as I just need to do his face and some weathering, whereas the borrowed 'Templar Brethren' are pre-highlighting and Matt varnishing (I don't want the army to look shiny at all).
