Dont-Be-Haten Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 So shadow war is pretty fun. Played some learning games. Eldar Harliquins are *real* tough. You definitely want a Heavy Bolter(s) sitting on overwatch for Dakka. Snipers have good range as well but only 2-3 since they can't move and shoot. Shotgun scavengers seem to be the best bang for your buck. But two melee weapons aren't terrible. Also I've talked to a couple of the consistent players (also read reliable) generals to continue escalation league. It's just been pushed back a week.

Mightykin Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Finished librarian with force sword and a tactical srg. today. I also repainted some very old ruins I had many years ago! Productive day!

LutherMax Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I had to work the Friday and Monday of this bank holiday weekend but thanks to the typical crappy UK Easter weather I did get time to finish my second tactical squad – 'Lorenzo'! http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Blood-Angels-Tactical-Squad-Lorenzo-01.jpg More / bigger pics in my WIP thread / on my blog... Also, while I was doing these guys I did a couple of alternative sergeants with magnetised weapons. Which one do you guys think is the best?! (P.S. I will be doing some text on the banner, forgot about it before taking the pics!) http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Blood-Angels-Tactical-Sergeants-768x768.jpg OrbOfAntioch, Tyriks, Panzer and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/232/#findComment-4713114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Bloodied Hell, top work as always Luther. They look straight out of the fluff. Also, fun bit of info from Inferno. In one of the premier outings of the Ordo Sinister Psi-Titans, full third of the Blood Angels Legion is deployed to fight off a craft world. They have a crazy warlock titan that hits Sanguinius with its psychic spear, an attack that "no other could have survived". Nice comment on our Lords resilience. Oh, and he rips open an Eldar titans head with his BARE HANDS.

Code 187 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Fantastic. The non-standard BA heads look real gritty and awesome. Also a fan of these. I'd like to get some myself.

I know I've seen them, just can't remember where. Any chance of a pointer? Left and right ones are from the Sternguard kit, middle one is a Centurion. To be honest every marine kit has plenty of heads like these - the BA kit ones can be a bit... flowery! :D Definitely the guy with the banner.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Quick question. About how long does it take everyone to paint roughly 500 points? Is it dependent on what the models are? Obviously highlighting etc. Takes more time. I'm on week 2 of a 5 man Tactical Squad, and I still have a Dreadnought and Drop pod left to paint. I have been trying to paint at least 30 minutes a day.

Takes me ages to paint stuff. What I've done recently though (not really planned), is get a whole bunch of stuff base coated in the main one or two colours (an airbrush helps massively here). Then whatever unit you pick up only takes a small amount of work to complete, so you can crank them out - relatively speaking.

If you're going to paint, I find the minimum to invest is an hour - unless of course it's a very small part! Paint when you can spent a couple hours and get a solid "step" of the work done: One colour, all base colours, washing an entire squad, all the red hilights etc LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/232/#findComment-4714033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out it takes me about an hour to take a base coated marine to a finished marine. Since then I've made sure I have at least an hour when I sit down to paint, and that has made me more efficient.

RedemptionNL Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 An hour? Sheesh. It can take me a couple of hours to finish one mini after it's been airbrushed and I still only get average quality.

Charlo Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Also, something that is very hard to learn to do... Don't judge the mini's quality until it is finished. With just base colours on it'll look weird, after a wash it may even look dull. It's not until that first/ second highlight pass that it all starts to come together :) Arkangilos 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/232/#findComment-4714294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I've been assembly line painting. I have 5 Tactical man's painted up to where primer is showing only on flash. I paint each Marine to the same level so all red then seals& tabbards etc. Flesh then helmets and I do arms and weapons last usually. Right now I'm working on the helmets which takes longer since I'm having to paint up to white. I was just curious. I'm very envious of people that paint to a high quality quickly!

Arkaniss Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I paint to a very average quality and slowly Finally sorting things out in my new abode so I'm hoping to find time to get back to painting Blood Angels again. I've made a list with the Archangels OIF so I need to get painting to use it!
