@Kor'Vesh...well worth the wait to see your sallies mate! Easter well spent, love the hazard stripes..very crisp...me thinks your gonna have a stunning army :-)...thanks for the weekly report again, looking like a close one!

Also thank you for your comments regarding the Ultramarines. ..your spot on with the "weathered" look..wanted them to look more weathered than battle damaged. Thanks again mate and look forward to your next batch of sallies..

 

@Dantioch..thanks for your comment mate..I am Indeed thinking of a bigger force of the XIIIth...something lime a 100 marines bigger lol...as for the Iron warriors. ..I dont know..they might be making there way to Ebay soon...unless someone here wants em *cough* for just the actual resin cost *cough*..hope to see your marines painted soon :-)

 

@DimDim...cheers for your comment mate...really appreciate it. .regarding the red...lol terracotta was the first earthy I picked from my paint rack, I thought it would be a good clash against the blue...at 28mm it helps to stand out..also im colour blind so in my eyes I need stronger colours..lol god knows what they look like to everyone else haha...maybe your right that less is more...I have done a very quick test below using mud brown...any better? (Forgive the state of sgt bob, he has been the test bed for more colours than he should have) ..again mate really appreciate you taking the time to reply!

This Dim. Dim the terminator, he is part of my command squad (wich... is not yet build,, except Dim)

Dim Dim's around like a true dim should.

@DimDim: Notice the knee pad msn-wink.gif imperial fist yellow, just for you msn-wink.gif

You are one crazy guy! I'm honoured to be a part of your command team! I'm glad you used the golds/bronze, so much cooler than silvers. I also love the glow effect.

@ChaplainMortis, I'm glad you got what I was trying to say and took it like a champ! The original color is better, and it may look better with less applied to the fig (keep it conservatve). The original does give a very close match to the primer used on German tanks during ww2.

ok all out of likes on this thread alonebiggrin.png great stuff guys really loving the varied armies in one place .

for my contribution could i add

a BUILD list to prep for the incoming etl war

build 30 word bearers

build 5 gal vorbak

build 1 wb rhino

and build 1 fire raptor

Great to see more pledges coming in - glad we'll be seeing more of your Sallies Twisty, and such a hefty set of Word Bearers for the ETL Daemonclaw. I'm excited!

Glad you like my marines guys! Thanks for the praise Chaplian Mortis - they aren't quite at the standard of you and some of the guys here. I think I need to imporve my paint control on the brush, probably work with thinner paints and more layers. I'm pleased with them though, and what I have painted looks really good all together. I'll hopefully get some base coating done on the next 3 this weekend!

But Mortis - you might sell your Iron Warriors unsure.png ... they are too beautiful (in a functional correded heretical kind of way!)

Hydra and AO - sorry guys. This IS casual, and I don't want to be a pain in the ass, but I think I have to say a pledge is a pledge. I'm happy to swap things for a similar points value, and write things off for delivery issues etc, but I don't really want to start saying 'X pledge deosn't count'. It feels a touch less fair for the competition. Its not like anyone really cares though, and I've not got any badges of shame to make you wear or anything! Anything you do manage (like DimDim the therminator) will count agaist you vow whatever! Hope that's OK!

I don't suppose I'm going to get any points for making these...

I've made literally no progress since my last post. Been too busy packing stuff and getting organised for the move North. My wife got a bit of a bee in her bonnet about the number of sprues and bits I had in their various states, so I've been forbidden from painting until all of that's been tidied up and sorted out.

Never, ever move.

Put a base coat and watered down purple ink layer on the 5 BA's... heres a WIP of the sarge

That's pretty damn cool man.

I'm back! I had a huge move to plan out, some big shifts at work, and a lot of other things on my plate. Completed - one move from SC to WA!

I'll finish up my 9 Firedrakes, pics inc, got 'em assembled and 75% painted.

I'll be assembling at least 20 Breacher marines, assembling my Legion Spartan, assembling my Sicarians, tank destroyer and battle tank.

tester for the BA scheme... definitely needing to glaze the highlights back down some...

using thinned down red/orange/, orange, orange/ yellsow, yellow so far... too much???

good god too much... lol seeing it on the big screen vs right in front of my own eyes...http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/DD623FC2_zpsbiqkshem.jpg

lionofjudah, when I saw it on my phone it looked great. Looking at it on the iPad it dioes look too much. Perhaps a red wash to blend it all together?

 

Minded metal, love the delagatus. Trust the sons of vulkan to bring a giant hammer to a compliance. I'm assuming it is because they didn't quite understand the phrase, "hammer out a deal."

He's not really a negotiator, he's the commander of a small shattered legion force I've decided to put together to use up some of the bitz from my bitz boxes (basically that hammer was the biggest one I could find that wasn't from the nemesis dreadknight). 

Mind of metal, Like the knife. For close encounters. A pistol is for losers

 

Forge world order came through. Ive got hold of a spartan, sicarian, justearin terminators and 5 jump infantry to convert into some reavers.

 

But what to start first, want to build the Spartan just to see if it's as bad as everyone says it is. But wouldn't mind taking part in this Etl.
