Charlo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) While I did want to make a stab at my Vow before I went away for a few days, instead I've been forced to clean up my painting warzone (or table, to some people). As such it has given me the opportunity to organise my entire BA/ SM Collection (plus some other stuff) into a stand of drawers, plus leaving me an actual decent painting space not covered in boxes of eBayed mini's Will post pics later. Initial thoughts are: "I HAVE SIXTEEN BIKERS INCLUDING A CHAPLAIN AND TWO ATTACK BIKES?!?!" "Huh, I guess with finding my old tanks and rampant eBaying has lead me to owning 8 Rhino Chassis Vehicles." "That is more Death Company than I expected. Excellent." Update: Didn't get a chance to shoot much, but here is all my tanks in a drawer including from left to right in rows: Vindicator MkII Rhino MkI Rhino MkII Whirlwind MkII Pred Anihilator MkII (going to turn this baby into an Executioner with some Venerable Dread Plasma Cannons ) Vindicator MkIV Pred Anihilator MkIV Baal Pred MkIV Hidden Content http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/IMG-20150713-WA0000_zpslghbjqo8.jpeg Edited July 13, 2015 by Charlo knife&fork 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 "I HAVE SIXTEEN BIKERS INCLUDING A CHAPLAIN AND TWO ATTACK BIKES?!?!" Ha ha, had a similar experience when I was cleaning out the closet today. :D "Oh, I had totally forgot about those speeders and attack bikes!" I also managed to put together 2 heavy flamer marines, then I realized that they were both equipped with the sternguard version. Which is odd considering that I've only bought one BA tac and one Sterguard box. I later found the BA heavy flamer in my bitsbox but I have no clue from where or when that extra SG flamer is from....

Jolemai Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Currently working on my ETL vow by using my own variant of the "reclined painting technique". By that, I mean I'm sat in bed with a cup of tea and painting with Snakebite Leather. LutherMax and CaptainHelion 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Finished moving yesterday. Gonna try and burn through as much of my vow as possible before the internet gets set back up, and distracts me again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 My upcoming Blood Angel army rebuild is picking up steam, fixed up one of my Death Company, picked up some Ebay Scouts (metal forever!) and a Baal + Battleforce arrived. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Painting is not going well. But! I did finally grab the last Honoured Imperium box at my local, and a BA upgrade pack. Also, I need to figure out a fun 750pt list for an upcoming small tourney... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Bought a Rogue Trader Land Raider. I swear it's the last thing I'm getting on eBay! Pics! Always wanted one of those. It's currently in the worst marine colour (blue) but it does have some magnetising on the sponsons (currently assault cannons?) so I'll be able to switch weapons in pretty easily. I now realise it doesn't have a front ramp, but if anything I might use it as a count as for perhaps a spartan (if sizes are similar) or just a LR with the right weapons. But of course pics when it arrives! Edited July 17, 2015 by Charlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGK Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) The best match for the old Landraider is the Forgeworld Proteus. Modern landraiders are larger and the spartan is bigger than them! Enjoy your new tank though I have fond memories of mine back in the day ,besides who doesnt like a scout tank with two twin liked Las cannon?

Ovidius Incertus Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Forum's back...and I've neared the completion of my vow. Astorath done, jump librarian done, jump priest done, termie librarian done, librarian dread done, fragioso done, sternguard and vanguard squads done. Fire Raptor is on the table with paint on it. Even started to paint up the first 10 man tac squad I've had built up. Edited July 22, 2015 by Ovidius Incertus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanforthLaertes Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have been working on assembling a squad of Death Company (but I shall be using them as Assault Sergeants, I think) - just 5 fun models with cool wargear and a nice Blood Angels vibe - and also a squad of mixed-weapon Terminators based on Grey Knight figures which I am going to have function as the bodyguard for my Terminator Librarian (in fluff, they will be a unit of trainee-Librarians) ... I just had the models lurking. I am thinking of getting out all my models and overhauling the project I started a while ago ... which was a full company of 100 Marines (3 Platoons of 3 squads of 10 + 1 Lieutenant each, a Captain + 5 man Command Squad, and a Chaplain - total, 100 men - with transport vehicles (Rhinos for the Tactical and Dev squads, and a Razorback for the Command squad).

Jolemai Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 As for painting, on Friday I was painting terrain* * By terrain I mean the huge steel girder in my living room with intumescent paint. This stuff is thicker than Skull White, it's like painting with Polyfiller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm thinking I might have to call my vow a loss right now. I've not been able to find my last Vindicator or my Razorback since the move, and I can't get the paint to look right on the Vindicator I DID find. It looks like I'll be checking myself into the ol' Black Tower a week or so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've not given up yet! Just sort of vocalising the likelihood. Really, I ought to have made a much smaller vow, given we moved house, and my generally slow painting speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) I've almost finished my Contemptor and Stormraven. Need to start my Mephiston count as though... Painted contemptors look incredible...
