Vel'Cona Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Dang Kilofix is an unstoppable force of painting! I can't even imagine assembling a new unit the same day, let alone getting any paint on it. That's dedication, right there! Glad you're feeling better, Immersturm! When I'm sick, the only thing I want to do is stare dejectedly at a computer screen. Forget painting!

Ascanius Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've assembled and undercoated my Skitarii. Five Rangers, including an Alpha, and five Vanguard. Just for modelling at this stage, not gaming. I'm using the Alpha head without a hood, and also the two Vanguard heads without the helmets. I'll have to give some thought to the best way to do their skin - I don't love the look suggested in White Dwarf for the pilot of the Ironstrider/Dragoon. I want something a little paler. Anyway, I'll be painting them in the colours of Forgeworld Agripinaa, as soon as payday rolls around this week and I can pick up the paints I'm missing.

Frater Cornelius Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I can not believe it, but I managed to do Imperial Guard, Militarum Tempestus, Sisters of Battle and Space Marines in the IK guide today. The SM part was the killer, everything else seemed like a stroll in the park. I mean, try and find a viable way to play each Chapter Tactic with IK. Still, kinda pulled it off. Go me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Putting the transfers on my Knight now. Almost there... Edit: Also I JUST noticed that the Knight Transfer sheet has blood drops/tears. Oh well I like my freehand better. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Dawnstar Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I got my first five Vanguard about 80% done yesterday and I'm hoping that I can get the painting finished tonight. After that it's just a question of how much of the remaining 15 Skitarii I can get started on before I get distracted by building my second Vanguard squad and Kastelans.

marshall Egregorius Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I was not able to paint last night, so my plan is to make some progress on the remaining 3 vanguard tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm combing through my favorite bits stores for additional parts, and am working to complete the left arm by the end of the week. Hunting for bits is one of my favorite facets of the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Handro Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have finally taken the plunge and thrown my lot in with the Ad Mech. Whilst all around me were buying resin, I splurged on plastic at the WW opening on Saturday. (Kind of silly, I know).Today I started building a unit of Vanguard, whilst ogling the sprues of my Warden.Expect an ETL vow of desert yellow-cloaked troops sneaking in under the deadline once I get my hands on the codex. No idea what colour I want to paint the knight though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Technically yesterday's efforts, but I'm now only a few washes away from finishing my first ETL vow and I undercoated most of the models for my second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinsanity Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Finally grabbed my box of Rangers today, had to wait ages for it to arrive...

nziv Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Working on my first 3 thallax Trying to decide if to go with standard shiny black helmet or go with red as the models don't have any other red on them (cream, gold, silver colors so far) @ marshall Egregorius Very nice paintjob I would go with slightly different coloration on bases as cloaks and base blend in, this makes sense in real life but for little plastic men you may want a little more POP. Maybe a bit of details or decals on the robes would do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 With Ryza I'm painting the Thallax's helmet (surrounding area) black with the visor itself silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well been off for a long time. Family stuff... Anyhow, last night I did the basic work on 5 rangers. Looking to do the same to 5 Vanguards tonight and perhaps finish the rangers. Once they are done, I have the Skitarii force done for the updated army list I intend to field. But I still need to complete 20 more skitarii, and 2 walkers for the ETL vow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
