Frostmourne Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah but i have just got involved in a local tournament which is 600 points, painted and everything, on the 18th of September, so...i am screwed...even 2 basic 10 man squads plus a Sicaran and a Centurian is like 230 quid :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/2/#findComment-3792332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm still trying to figure out the heraldry for my marines and some of the bling. Id like to do some robes and such, but I don't want to overdo it. I'm still trying to decide what I want for a company emblem and how to do the Legion heraldry. I like the idea of Dreadwing, but I have no idea yet about the Dark Angels as their fluff is lacking. Idk if each separate wing had combined arms or was a separate speciality.

Frostmourne Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ok, so it looks as though My Challenge will be a 10man Tactical Squad, and a 5 man Heavy Squad, and my Centurian.

StruManChu Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi all! After not involving myself in the hobby or B&C at all in 2014, I just can't stay away any more (and I'm making myself finish a bunch of existing things before I go out and get any more stuff)! My pledge for September is for my World Eaters, and will be a squad of 5 Red Butchers and Angron. Thanks to Frostmourne for putting this together!

Though more Ultramarine-ish in flavour, why not do a Toga type thing for your terminator robes? Goes from around 1 shoulder to the waist then down around the legs. Use it as a canvas for personal / Company / Chapter Heraldry and the like.

Brofist Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm going to try to finish up x18 breachers + x3 regular legionaries + x2 legion standard barrers. 23 mans total. No sergeants though- I'm holding off on my characters until FW releases IW torsos + heads. Undercoated, varnished, hair-sprayed, and zenithal primed them last night. The conversions alone took over a month to finish. Hopefully I can get the painting done in less time. e: Just to give an idea, it took me 3hrs to get halfway done with this stage: http://i.imgur.com/0Wkt3iR.jpg F cleaning mold lines on forgeworld crap Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/2/#findComment-3792559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyvern Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 well as promised heres what ive got on my table atm obviously VERY wip so these will end up as the first 3 members of the 10 man CCW support squad sgt included will update when my FW order arrives http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/Jay_Leslie/014-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/2/#findComment-3792699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 @Wyvern - Looking good man. Really nice kitbashing. Looking forward to seeing where you take this. @Demon2027 - Crap! We totally were! That's my bad I think. We couldn't make it work around Christmas. I'm still keen though, beer being relatively essential to a good life. Can't believe you remember my Plog either. I need to get back on that. I've spent this evening in front of X-Men: First Class drybrushing various shades of Bronze and Brass over this guy as a test for my Red Butchers, and I'm pretty happy with the result so far. Obviously this is still WIP, but I think the armour is pretty close to done, though my crappy phone camera is not the best thing in the world. It only took a little over an hour to get to this point, so I'll have a crack at the others tomorrow night.

MindOfMetal Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Right, got a little carried away last night and fully painted a whole 1 of my pledge models (still needs a bit of snow flock on the base).

MindOfMetal Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 He is indeed, one of my two lightning claw ones. I got bored of waiting for FW to release them so built them a couple of months ago.

Grimtalos Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Glad this is underway. Decided to start at the top and get my HQ done, then will be moving on to troops. So my first pledge is an Emperor's Children Centurion armed with a Phoniex spear and plasma pistol. I undercoated him this morning, so will try and get a picture up later today.
