WarriorFish Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 That works, good work with the conversions they're coming together nicely. What method did you use on the bases?

gomericus Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 My bases are the last thing I usually paint,,,(I.m not sure why most folks now dont paint the rim of the bases) I paint the rim in a golden brown,usually building up a couple layers then I use paint to cover the base under the figure and dip it in my flock mix,which is a mixture of different flocks and train model flock.

Marshal Argos Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I really do love the way those guys look, and I agree about painting the bases. I do mine much like yours, only I seldom do more than 2 layers (I'm lazy when it comes to the bases). Looking forward to seeing more.

gomericus Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Heres a small update of the touched up CCS and pcs's I reworked the command group adding more detail bits and touched up the paint job,changed the MOO to look more like the rest of the artillery crews in blue and red,he looked abit too much like a commissar, For the pcs's I touched up the paint and converted the basic troopers to have grenade launchers,and working with metal is rather tedious, and finally Ive begun working on my flamer rough riders,,I extended the flamer tips as the normal ig flamer looked abit like if it went off it would cook the horses face off Once I am done converting the flamer troopers up I am going to go back through the 3 squadrons,touching up the paint here or there as needed and add more highlights Seems every time I work on things I get just abit better,but the one thing I seem to forever struggle with is faces,so I usually just wash then in a flesh wash, Then its onto my artillery carriages Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301379-victorias-own-of-foot-plog/page/2/#findComment-4067905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Some great conversion work here :) For flesh I just use a wash too, the newer Reikland Flesh wash is very good so I can recommend it.

gomericus Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thank you,, I try to individualize each guy even the basic troopers some what and love converting things.

gomericus Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Flamer rough rider conversions done,spending the morning touching up their paint jobs,hope to have some pics this evening.. however as I paint I wonder,,,might it not be a good idea to swap the two priests for commissars,,,theyre ld9 stubborn rule would most likely mean the conscript squads they would be joining aren't going anywhere and the priests special rules only apply to cc of which i try to keep them out of at all costs and use them as a cheap screening force and firing line.

WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The priest hymnals are very useful, it's mostly what makes them better than commissars at the moment.

hendrik Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 How about horse drawn thud guns,put on a base to create the footprint?maximal height could be shown by some antennas? Edit,note that this could allow for some excellent dioramas,for example one crewmember calming the horses while others fire the detached thudd gun.

our_baz Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Great job on the painting, can't tell too well from the pics maybe the white could do with some depth. I'm partial to a red coated guardsman. The conversions are really well done too must of been a right pain on the old metal mordian models. Two things could help to give you depth on skin and faces, put a flat colour down (Cadian flesh, bugmans etc) then added a wash over, then put the original flat colour on the face leaving the wash in recesses or you could dry brush highlights.

gomericus Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I rather like the idea of using horse as ive got extra that would be great he limber team which should be close to the height of a chimara a d extra riders that should be close to 3 inchs and limber bits and lots of stowage and whats nots for the horses to carry thees that should work indeed thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301379-victorias-own-of-foot-plog/page/2/#findComment-4110636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomericus Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Le-sigh,,,,and its finished. A quick run down of army stats 2 earthshaker batteries another serving of pie via the MOO Wyvern battery 12 lascannon batteries 6 autocannons-4 via platoon squads and the quadgun 9 melta guns 12 grenade launchers 6 flamers And 184 troopers for the wyvern I ended up dropping the limber teams as they made the footprint too large. For line of site and what not the heavy bolter gun wheels are the same height as a chimera hull and the missle tips are 3 inches tall for the top of the gun shield.I am going to add a small tree and some bushes to the base of it when I get a chance to get to a hobby store, Hope these come out ok and show all the blending and shading and over all detail.The flash kept washing everything out. as I was setting things up I noticed the 2 troopers that needed basing,which are now done,,next up is painting two multimeltas for an immolator then onto my titan legion which includes 3 reavers,2 warhounds and a knight household.
