Vel'Cona Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Those look awesome, but you'll need to re-pose the heck outta the Sicarians to get them on there. Be prepared to do some puttying, pinning and bending to get them to stick to those bases!

Be prepared to do some puttying, pinning and bending to get them to stick to those bases! I agree with Vel'cona on this. Furthermore, today I will continue working on my Onager. Basecoat of Jokaero orange is on the hull and weapon.

MindOfMetal Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Finished my pre undercoat work on my Kataphron breachers. Can now use them with either Torsion cannons or arc cannons-as well as being able to use them as 30k Myrmidon Destructors with all the weapon options. That and finished my 8th of 9 Castellax.

CommodusXIII Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A ton of bits came in yesterday, and I have more to pick up at the post office today.

Kilofix Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Almost done with Vow 2 - just need to slap Martian Ironearth. Think I'll break and eat an orange. No wait, on second thoughts, I need to base first, it takes forever to dry.

Vash Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Going to assemble my Knight Warden tonight. Perhaps the other 3 Kataphron Destroyers too (fairly fast to assemble). Once that is done, I think everything I assembled for my primary army list. Of course, I still have 1 Onager, 1 Balistarii and 20 skitarii models to assemble... But hey. Once I am done with the primary stuff. I can take it more easy and take my time with the rest.

Vel'Cona Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I find the more I use the Ironearth, the more I like it. It's really a self-detailing basing material, and it gives super consistent results. The biggest downside is that the bottles don't go very far, and they're going to be more expensive soon. Good thing I stocked up last week! Having assembled a squad of Sicarian Infiltrators last night, I kind of agree that they're a bit oddly proportioned for the base size. That said, they're posed in a way that a 32mm base simply wouldn't work, thanks to their giant stick-insect legs. There's definitely a lot of potential to pose them in a more dynamic way, but I'm far too lazy for that given I want to get the first vow done before Monday, so I can get the remainder of my stuff into a second vow.

The biggest downside is that the bottles don't go very far, and they're going to be more expensive soon. Good thing I stocked up last week! I think I have bought a total of 8 pots now. Finished of 4 of them already. Good thing we have a nice deal on paint at our local game store. Buy 4 pay for 3 (basically its actually less than 3 even... its like pay for 2.8 pots). But... it is a huge amount of paint to invest on large bases... which is not uncommon with the Mechanicum forces...

Gorthaur Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I finally got motivated and spray primed all of the models i've been meaning to begin working on. Time to begin slapping paint on these Kastelans and Sicarians! http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q194/InsaneDwarf/20150527_153120_zpsby7kt6wx.jpg I'll be posting a mars basing tutorial in the tutorial forum section sometime today as well, nothing too special though. The defining thing for my bases is the rock placement and drybrushing.

Gorthaur Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Did you vow these models Gorthaur?

Scurvydog Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Been working the past week to finish my current models. Only the last Kastellan to go, then I am ready for a few more saturday http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag255/Hajrian/smith_zpsb0hnetkf.jpg http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag255/Hajrian/army%20skits_zps0ijymtyr.jpg I got the knight used for a discount, but sadly with no transfers, so it is sort of improvised, until I figure out to do something else or buy them of ebay.
