Captain Baranov Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Very nice, though the melta barrel on the right appears to have been missed! Thank you :) and good catch, I completely missed it.

Vel'Cona Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah, Vostroyans definitely have amazing character. I wish GW had kept on with that range and done some Veterans or maybe a unique artillery piece for them, but at least the models exist! I wonder how much they go for nowadays?

Captain Baranov Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 I wish they would have as well. I love my Vostys, but a big problem, at least for me, is the limitations of poses hat come from an all metal force. This in turn makes them a bit samey when you get a whole company of them, half in my case. Metal is not the most forgiving material to convert with, afterall. As for price, they are now becoming more and more affordable in comparision to some other choices. In Canada they are about $50 for a ten man squad, which is just a bit more than a Skitarii squad or even a tactical marine squad. Funny what happens to metal miniatures that get forgotten, eh? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307708-vostroyan-firstborn-regiment-185th-reporting-in/page/2/#findComment-4079470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wow interesting, I figured prices would skyrocket for them now that metal isn't a thing for GW. I honestly can see why they've stepped away from metal as a medium, as it really does discourage conversions, though I still love the "feel" of metal models in general. Back OT, though; what's next for the Firstborn?

Captain Baranov Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Part of the appeal of the Vostroyans was actually the metal aspect, as I much prefer the heft of metal over say plastic. That said, anything that doesn't require a Dremel to cut is better than metal for conversions ;) Yet, I too digress. Anyways, the plan thus far from the 185th is to hopefully get started on the 72nd aspect of them, the tanks that I want to make a main part of their list. That said, money is a tad tight at the moment, so I might just focus on finishing the other two squads I have. We shall see.

Captain Baranov Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Good evening everyone who might see this. I've seemed to have sluffed off a bit, but I return with my completed ETL vow! Took a bit, but I'm pretty happy with what I've accomplished.

WarriorFish Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nothing distracts the commissariat more than nicely painted up models too Well done Baranov these are some more excellent Vostroyans! I think we need to see a full army shot What's next on the list for the 185th?

I think we need to see a full army shot :D What's next on the list for the 185th? An army shoot is due, I agree! That said, it might be the last thing I'll do with the 185th for the near future. University starts up again in a month and I'll be a wee bit distracted for then on. There is always hope though.

SW1 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 An excellent completion with some mighty fine looking models. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307708-vostroyan-firstborn-regiment-185th-reporting-in/page/2/#findComment-4129286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Looking very nice! What model are you using for the fleet officer?

Toxichobbit Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Looking very nice! What model are you using for the fleet officer? That's a Kayazy Assassin Underboss from Privateer Press. On a related note, Captain Baranov, are you going to use Greylords as Wyrdvane Psykers? They'd fit the Vostroyan theme perfectly.

It is indeed stolen from That Other Wargaming Company. With that said... I hadn't even thought of using Greylords that way, but I might do just that! The irony of using Warmahordes stuff for my Vostroyan army is I started painting the 185th up to use as Winter Guard, but I then got distracted on the B&C and the rest is history.

Vel'Cona Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Can't blame you there. PP has a great game and some of their designs are super bold and fun, but their infantry have always been a rough sell (see Kayazy and Skorne units for prime examples).

I'm kinda partial to the Kayazy assassins. That said, I do agree about Scorne. You would have to pay me to paint that faction.
