OwlandMoonGuy Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Quick update. The Venator looks like a tank now and I've started in on the paint. I cut down a pair of IH land raider doors to fill in the sponson points. They thankfully fit perfectly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_2953_zps9f3656a0.jpg I tentatively have a practice game for the 1,850 list set for mid-January so I'd like to have the Venator complete by then. Does anyone else believe in the "curse of the new model?" Regardless, it's good to get all of that out of the way to eliminate any potential for superstitious factors. I took over all my kitchen counters to clean all the parts for the Falchion. It's my plan to get all the parts primed tomorrow and start base coating some color on it as well. Later on in Jan there's another tentative plan for a 30K vs. 40K Apoc game. Nothing like pitching D cannon shots to make a game lively (as stated above). I've never had the privilege personally so I'm very much looking forward to it. I need to find time to make some custom decals for these models, the Castallax included. I've reached a bit of an impasse until I get the decals in place. So maybe if time allows that will get done tomorrow too. Cheers all. @Kor'vesh: Looking forward to the Jan pledge. I hope we can consider these entries despite the head start. Cheers x2, -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's really exciting to see you expand your forces. Seeing your work inspires me.Cutting down the land raider doors to fit the sponson hole worked out perfectly! I remember the first time seeing your paint scheme and was so inspired that I now use the metallic blue technique on my iron hands as well :D Keep up the excellent work! And be sure to kick some traitor butt at Adepticon for us Medusans ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Time for an update. Here's pics of the completed Venator: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/IMG_2986_zps41e463ad.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/IMG_2988_zps63e2f6ab.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/IMG_2989_zps7a82de4c.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/IMG_2992_zps694a5b72.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/IMG_2996_zpsbd51e2a8.jpg I've tried a few new things with these thanks that I didn't employ when working on the army last year. So I'm going back over some of the past vehicles and adding some enhancements. Once done with this round I'll take some army pics. If you didn't notice this pics from the Casual Challenge thread I've also made some good progress on the Falchion: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_2979_zpsa6263f2c.jpg That was taken a while ago now so there's been some progress since then. I'm looking forward to a 30K Apoc game on the 24th so I'm going to make a mad push to get this done before then. I have a pretty full weekend this week so all the work will have to be done during the week. So expect more soon and here's hoping that I'll get to pitch some "D" damage pie plates during that game. Cheers all, -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 That looks incredible! Fantastic job, I think I like your Iron Hands paint scheme the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjasuperspy Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 That Venator is phenomenal. I'm really digging the weathering and the "Laser" decal is off the charts. Also it is crazy how good the icon from the IH doors looks trimmed down & plopped into the sponson areas there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm really digging the weathering and the "Laser" decal is off the charts. Thanks gents. And yes, I figure the IH would print instructions on their equipment to ensure that everyone's well aware of which end emits the neutron beam laser. These are just some random shots of a 2-on-2 game we played on Saturday. Maelstrom mission #6 (the one with 6 numbered objectives and the descending active objectives), 1,000 pts per player. Sallies paired up with s Alphas (I suspect perfectly executed Alpha deception; these are not the loyalists you should be fighting with) vs. Fists & my Hands. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3022_zpsrmw0xn76.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3023_zpsxwiqjj7r.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3024_zpsoscqmgjt.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3025_zpsqerdjrer.jpg So this is the first action my Venator has seen and I'm already beyond impressed. I suspect that it'll continue to be a standard selection even in lower point lists. Cheers, -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlandMoonGuy Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ok... here's the completed Falchion: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3052_zpskriuqxfq.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3054_zpsecmvfadc.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3032_zpsrwmedogh.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3033_zpsxbuaz5cd.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3036_zpsldrie1q1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3041_zpsnmeocs1w.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3043_zpsdjis75vl.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3059_zpsptxf3y3f.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3064_zpsklaxxm1u.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/OwlandMoonGuy/30K%20Iron%20Hands/IMG_3074_zps06i71pgc.jpg Though technically complete I see some touch-ups I need to do here and there. I think before the games I'm also going to make a few more custom decals. Otherwise it feels good to get this beast off the do-paint list. That's all I have in the realm of commentary at the moment. Maybe I'll post more tomorrow if I get a break at work. Comments always welcome. Cheers, -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Its not the ever-so-lovely Glaive, but damn! Does that Falchion look baws-sauce! ...mind explaining the pink barrel :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thank you sir. As per the pink barrel, The IH just needed to bum some fuel off their good friends the Emperor's Children. Actually I want to get an EC icon (like maybe off the brass etch sheet?) so there won't be any question. Cheers, -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
