Augustus b'Raass Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 why did I have to be painting already You can always stop your current project and begin something anew. This cannot possible sound like an alien concept to you. We've all done it. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303480-2015-augustus-arena-event-ended/page/17/#findComment-3962133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Update No 3; another one. Whilst painting it came to my realization that I need to GS some soft armour in his armpit. Camera seems to have had it too, I'm afraid so the quality is not great which is disappointing......obviously sans jump pack too. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/MidnightRunner81/ce66b51f-0d24-465c-9f57-6d8943e47894.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh190/MidnightRunner81/65521dda-fbc5-43ad-b11a-1283c9b2acec.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303480-2015-augustus-arena-event-ended/page/17/#findComment-3962530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Alright! Time for an update on Horus! So.... yeah. For the past week I have... ummm... Let's see. I've dry fit all the parts numerous times. They all "fit" for the most part, so that's good. The two parts of the base line up strangely, though. Um... What else? Oh! I've turned some of the larger pieces over and over in my hands while I stared aimlessly into space, wondering what I've gotten myself into with these Primarch figures and just how awfully I'm going to mess them up, so there's that. Doesn't he look great so far?! Joking aside, I have made some progress, but there was also plenty of the above over the last week. The left arm has been pinned and I'm almost finished with repositioning the right arm: There was quite a lot of space to fill on the back of the arm with the new position and getting all that to line up in the tight space of his armpit has been fun. The pteruges on the left arm come molded in place while the ones on the right are left separate for you to attach, and for the life of me, I can't seem to find how they're supposed to line up properly, even before I changed the right arm. While I don't mind those things attached to the shoulder pads of Horus and other figures, like the Cataphractii, I'm not really that much a fan of the ones hanging from the belt so I don't think I will be including them on the big man. Looking good so far. What are your plans with the base? Is he going to go on the stock base he comes with? Apologies for not replying sooner, I've barely been in one country long enough to get an internet connection let alone catch up on B&C. I should be uploading my own WIPs later tonight. I'm really keen to ask about one particular modification to this figure you mentioned in PMs, but will let you pop that particular cherry when you're ready :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303480-2015-augustus-arena-event-ended/page/17/#findComment-3962579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShVagYeR Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Time to motivate my buddy Zigmunth to work on something other than his xenos armies! :) I, ShVagYeR, challenge Zigmunth to build, paint, and base a 10-man Death Company Squad of Flesh Tearers. If s/he accepts and completes the challenge, eternal glory will be his/hers. If s/he accepts and fails, s/he shall wear the badge of shame until Midsummer.

Zigmunth Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I, Zigmunth, accept the challenge set to me by ShVagYeR, and vow that I will finish building, painting, and basing a 10-man Death Company Squad of Flesh Tearers before April 5th. Completion will earn me eternal glory, while failure shall yield me shame until Midsummer. Waaagh!

Augustus b'Raass Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Finished Variel today. Absolute joy to paint.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Have to say, this is probably shaping up to be my favourite ever rendition of First Claw. Aaron Dembski-Bowden should feel honoured, both Variel and Mercutian are literally jaw-dropping. Mercutian is almost exactly how I imagined him.

Tenebris Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Very well, I am game. I accept the challenge. Who will call me to answer in this event? On a side note, if you do, make it Grey Knights... those are the only models I have other than Chaos.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looking good so far. What are your plans with the base? Is he going to go on the stock base he comes with? I'm really keen to ask about one particular modification to this figure you mentioned in PMs, but will let you pop that particular cherry when you're ready Yeah, I'm going to stick with his regular base. If I was planning to actually play the game with him, I'd probably be a little miffed that the decorative resin base doesn't have a cutout for the regular plastic base size, making it much more difficult to use him on the table top with the giant eagle head taking up valuable space to cram in your Justaerin for CC. As for the other thing, it's not going as well as hoped for at the moment.

Combat_Vet Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 @Augustus - I've admired your work for a long time Brother, but these guys are just beyond words. I know that's cliche, but damn, these are just a few notches above what I was expecting to be honest (no offense meant).
