BA Today

[appiah4]

5-man 'meltacide' squad with two meltagunners, two regular assault marines and sarge with combi-melta. They will ride in a pod but the backpacks are magnetised so they can have jump packs. The sergeant's weapons are also magnetised so he can have a pistol and power weapon for other uses.

What's up with the power pack on the dude far right?

[CaptainHelion]

I'd imagine that, given the packs are magnetised, it's just rotated around a little bit.

Lesson learned, always magnetize AND pin.

[CaptainHelion]

Two points of contact, always. One point is never enough.

[LutherMax]

That is what happened, and I will be adding locator pins with 1mm brass rod :)

[CaptainHelion]

It's a code I unintentionally keep finding myself living by. If it's worth doing, it's worth OVER doing.

Today, I finally decided which forum I paint for for this years ETL.

 

Blue Blood Angels.Blue.

 

By the way, feel free to add a piece about your blue Successors here. We need more submissions!

[captain Angel]

By the way, when is the ETL?

[Jolemai]

It's rumoured to kick off on the 1st May. See the brief below :)

[simison]

Played in a team game of 2k points with an all-walker army: 1 Knight Paladin, a Furioso, a Fragioso, Cassor, and a Furioso Lib. I was allied with the Wolves against a Black Templar/Knight Errant army and an IG tank army. We won, but only b/c I rolled a 6 for a D3 VP Maelstrom card, and my army was tabled on Turn 5. 

 

The Knights went at each other, and, unfortunately, we rolled on our rank tables. He ended up with a standard pilot, while mine was a Knight Apparent. His knight killed mine, but then mine destroyed his in the ensuing explosion. A mixed bag for my knight's first foray.

Finished two more Sternguard yesterday and another assault jumper...only to find that I magnetized his torso with the wrong polarity.   Trying to keep all the jumpers' packs interchangeable so I don't have to worry too much about "who's got the right pack?".  Grrrr...now I need to pop the magnet out of his torso, or decide whether to just have a dedicated pack for his wonky magnet.

 

And I'm using 1/8th inch magnets and I don't find wobble in my jump packs sufficient to require an alignment pin (either using the lighter plastic packs or heavier resin packs).  What size magnets are y'all using?

[Jolemai]

I have some of these for the big stuff and I use this and this for the smaller stuff.

 

To be fair, I'm a newb/n00b when it comes to magnets

[captain Angel]

Last night I finished removing the bases and assembling three boxes worth of space hulk termies.

[Jolemai]

ETL vow?

It's my eventual intention I just need to work a few things out though first.

[captain Angel]

ETL vow?

Yep, cat wait. This will be my first one.

[Jolemai]

After what seems like an age in Blu-tac, I've started knocking together my Sanguinary Guard with glue. Having a brain fart when it comes to the shoulder pads though. SG have the feathered pad on the left, correct?

[sockwithaticket]

I have finished my not-Corbulo, High Apothecary Phonubiel:

Wow Sock. . .  That may be my favorite of yours yet!

Correct!

 

@sock - nice work...

[Ovidius Incertus]

Got 13 more guys built and based over the last few days, including a fully magnetized sarge.

[RedemptionNL]

Finished a Cassor the Damned last week, my first BA model:

Was working on a Baal Predator last weekend, by my airbrush decided to be annoying and start blowing air back through the paint cup. So now I have to find a solution for that before I can continue.

Want five more? I've cut them out of my army.

[LutherMax]

Nice Dread RedemptionNL!

 

About your airbrush, try dismantling it, cleaning it and putting it back together. When you put it back together make sure everything is tight.

 

It may just be that paint has dried on the needle tip but a thorough clean is best to be sure. I get bubbles in the paint cup often with my Infinity. Less so with my Patriot.

[RedemptionNL]

Yeah, I've tried cleaning it a few times already, no dice so far. I have an Evolution for a few years now and I often have problems with it doing that, but usually a good clean is enough to fix it. And I just replaced the nozzle and needle a month ago. Perhaps it's an issue with H&S brushes, if your Infinity has the same problem? Maybe it's time to look into a different airbrush, what made you buy that Badger?
