The Lord Commissar Paints

Of course you are. After all, Officer rations include apple sauce, gravy, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding and so on

 

Man... That sounds so much better than our rations... All I ever seem to get is chicken ala king with egg noodles or beef stew... With hardtack, gatorade, beef jerky, and cheese crackers. 

 

We don't have officer rations...

 

My guardsmen only get the Omlette MREs. All candy is forfeited back to the Emperor.

BLECH! I hated those, they were terrible, thank God they no longer make them. My men get the good MRE's and all the contents, gotta keep their strength up. I wonder how many boxes of MRE's could fit in that shadowsword stormsword that WF just finished?

Stormshadow?  That variant is unfamiliar to me...sounds like a G.I. Joe...

[Ulrik_Ironfist]

Too many shadows and swords and blades and banes and such with the IG superheavies to keep them all straight.

Let's see:

 

Baneblade

Hellhammer

Stormhammer

Shadowsword

Stormsword

Stormblade

Banehammer

Doomhammer

Banesword

Stormlord

 

Yeah, I can see where you'd get a bit confused. 

[WarriorFish]

It's magnetised, so it has many names

I've done the final bit of assembly work on the Lord Commissar and given him a GS eyepatch. Doesn't look too bad if I do say so myself:

I will prime the model tomorrow and get some of the base coats done so I'm expecting to get most of him done over the weekend

[scatmandoo]

The eyepat h representing the deathmask there Fish?

[WarriorFish]

It's representing how tough he is

[Vel'Cona]

I'm picturing him somewhere along the lines of Xiahou Dun (Romance of the Three Kingdoms).  TL:DR; he gets shot in the eye with an arrow, then eats it.  You know, because it's already part of him.  Also, because he's a BEAST! 

[WarriorFish]

I've done the fluff for him, it references some things that were once discussed not too long ago so hopefully you'll like it (if anyone remembers :P ). I'm looking forward to painting him :D

[WarriorFish]

I didn't get quite as much done today as I had hoped, to top it off the front picture was badly blurred so I'm afraid you'll have to make do with this :lol:

Not very exciting, no :P

[elmo]

Any progress is good progress ;)

[captain sox]

just a silly question: is Green Stuff still available in non liquid form?

 

That cape is so well done!

Yes. You can get it in long rolls as a binary, or in tubes (I prefer the separate tubes, as you don't get the hardening where the two meet). Look up Green Stuff on Amazon, you'll find it.

Some more progress, and a better picture:

He's coming along nicely, most of the main colouring is done so I can focus on the details now :)

[our_baz]

Looking good. Question is that the black you were directing me towards on my thread?

[Ulrik_Ironfist]

Looking good WF. 

[scatmandoo]

He is looking good! This you on the tabletop?

[WarriorFish]

Thanks That is the Charadon, though it looks a bit shiny in this picture. This is after one good Badab Black wash, I may follow it up with another

 

edit: wait for his background scats ;)

It's so nice to have the B&C back! I found motivation waning during those dark days but while I didn't paint or glue anything I wasn't wasting time. The ancient Leman Russ has found a dip! This also nicely dissolves the glue, or rather does on less venerable models... I don't know what they made the paint out of back then but it's tough stuff! I think the colours used are particularly hardy too, no doubt reinforced further still being on the blessed hull of a Leman Russ

 

I may need to invest in a larger scrubbing device with sturdier bristles. For the moment I've put the tank back in the Fairy power spray, I may leave it until the weekend in the likely vain hope I'll need to put less elbow grease in. I also dug out a few things, mostly Marine stuff but I did find another officer model to add to the pile I have other projects that I will be spending time on (such as my Knight) but these odd Guard models will be a great break from them.

 

I've not forgotten the two Bullgryns to do along with the Scions either, plus there's a certain painting event scheduled soon...

[SW1]

What is the next painting event?

[elmo]

Sounds like you have made some nice progress

 

If I find the paint being a little stubborn during stripping I use a spot of jif cream on a tooth brush to help to persuade it to leave. Works really well on large models.

[WarriorFish]

Advanced warning has been given, the rest is top secret until further notice. There is plenty to be getting on with already in the ETL

 

Thanks for the tip elmo, I think I'll need it!

[WarriorFish]

I'm keeping busy, the stripping is a bit annoying so I'm going to attack that properly tomorrow to give it a good soak. In the mean time I've started on another project as planned. I will be documenting it in the AdMech section as I promised to return when I got going, so you can follow my progress there :)

[Vel'Cona]

Joined the dark side, eh Commissar?
