appiah4 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Oh you definitely are not.. 80% of my backlog is from 2e through 5e. What's stopping you from going the HH route, appiah? Apart from the obvious overpricing of the FW sculpts. I find it prohibitively expensive; I considered buying GW's plastic MK3/4 kits at some point, but then Primaris happened and I have zero will left to invest more in old marines..

Majkhel Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I understand. Still I would see ways of converting Firstborn marines to suit HH era. With the abundance of used bits, 3rd party bits and 3D prints available it's certainly doable. Like converting MkVII armour to MkV is pretty easy if laborious by adding some studs. Speaking for myself, I am thinking of a point in time (at least several years for me) when I will want to do something useful with my old marines I put so much effort into throughout the years. I would hate to throw them out, and it might be hard to sell them. So converting them would be a definite option. There is a small HH community where I live. It might grow bigger in time. That's just the pragmatic optimist in me ;) I'm definitely not trying to force my way of thinking to you. Just some thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majkhel Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hah, I'll be joining in as well with my Troops then! :) No rush for me to paint more point-heavy stuff yet. I can hold on with some to the possible end of the year ETL VIII. Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Well, I happen to have some single models lined up in my backlog...however Uni is really starting strong this year with 4 exams and two scientific essays to finish until August...maybe I can achieve some early bird points. :) Jolemai and Majkhel 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluejayJunior Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Nice! And the model you paint doesn't determine the faction you add the points for. So I can still work on my Sororitas and have it count for the Blood Angels! Zephaniah Adriyen, Jolemai and Majkhel 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephaniah Adriyen Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Might just pledge Makari, Nob, whatever, for the honor of the Blood Angels forum - y'all treated me well during my early days, and kinda deserve the point from me, I think.

Blindhamster Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 bit of progress on my captain... larger pictures and more angles in my blog here He has a lot more to do, arm and backpack aren't stuck on so i can sculpt the fur on the cloak. any suggestions for left shoulder pad?

SnorriSnorrison Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Looks great, Blindhamster! Nice work on the GS, too! For the left shoulder pad you could use an Aggressor-pad from the upgrade sprue or maybe one of the BA wing bits to put on a blank one, I usually like to use those instead of decals on my characters. It looks quite fancy and pronounced on a model like this. Blindhamster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Considering a revamp for the Sanguine Vision, maybe for their Primaris brothers when I inevitably get some... Painted up a quick test today. 1/4 scheme because KNIGHTS IN SPACE! AFAIK there isn't a cannon scheme like this... It's close to Angels Sanguine so i'll probably reverse it for finals. Thoughts?

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Solid paint job and yea it is like the sanguine. What about a grey instead of black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Cool scheme! I wish I had the skill or patience for a quartered scheme. I *never* thought I would but actually, when I broke it down it was surprisingly easy. The only tough bit was the helm (which is a little skew). Just take it slow and make sure you have a sharp brush edge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) For the Lockdown painting challenge, do we do everything through the master thread or will there be a thread here on Baal as well?

appiah4 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Quartered Red/Black was something I considered for my Primaris army but in the end decided against because I wanted to paint something different, but it looks DAMN GOOD to be honest..
