AWWWW YEAAAH! Back at it!

 

Well, after some diversions I have finished building the primary chunk of my pledge. To start off I have one last retaliator:

Happy to have this 9th guy built only to be distraught I already have one fellow built with the same pose. I should really leave him be but seeing two similar poses in the squad is gnawing at me.

 

Well, with one left to go I pressed on despite this realization. Time to build my strike leader, Perceval. What I was going to do was recreate this old bean that I made years ago and sold off. I bought a few bits months ago on Ebay and got myself one more of those sweet, metal Emperor's Champion bodies.

I did take this picture today to show you what I saw a few weeks ago. A simple build. That's all I saw aside from nostalgia. I wanted something a bit more "harder than nails" leading the defenders of Badab from the clutches of evil. So last night I came up with this:

I am very pleased with how he came out. I wanted a more knightly figure and I think I pulled it off quite well if I can toot my own horn. Then I realized I used the same legs I used on my Corien kit bash...but I got the pose right with this guy.

 

I have yet to order my servitors but they chould be coming along soon. So now to move on to my achilles heel, painting. I am debating if I will prime my minis black or just that Army painter platemail primer/base.

" It came striding out of the smoke that had been the command post painted in viscera and carrying that massive sword and said 'Area Cleansed' before moving on. Glad they where on our side!"

Not some of my best photos apologies but happy to finish them. Good luck with your challenges brothers!

Some really cool stuff in here; thanks for the inspiration! Would it be acceptable for me to join in here? I'm (very slowly) working on my Minotaurs and this might be just the motivation I need to actually get some more of the buggers painted!

You can join anytime! Post some pics when you have some!

 

The Secessionists and the Loyalists are out on a summer break it seems so we could use a brother to get us back into shape! ;)

 

Huron get out of my swimming pool! You're gettin' all wrinkly!

Stil waiting for a full day off so I can get back into the swing of things, so far I've just primed and de-mould lined some of my FW models and I am still waiting for a replacement MkV Assault squad from FW.

I guess I'll start out then with what I have so far!

Part of my project will be revisiting all the units in the army for rebasing on 32mm bases and touching them up. I like to think that even if my skills haven't improved over time, my patience has so a lot of the things I skipped when I was starting out might be more likely to get done now!

As for an actual target; I'll set myself the target of completing a unit of Assault Terminators. Still need a few pieces to complete the unit, but here's the first one;

Those are some great looking Minotaurs.  I was buried under work recently and painting an assault marine for the astartes of charity on facebook.  Soon to start adding some biker squads for rapid deployment.

This thread didn't die did it?  Inactivity for about a month now?  I have something to contribute, I am a special little butterfly!

 

My objective was to paint a Chaplain, single Terminator, single Vanguard Veteran, and a single Assault Marine.  This is for Killteam!  And I did it!  My next goal is to hit 5-man tactical squad with meltagun.

Nice models good mix of bits I like it . It has been very quiet on here recently and I'm just as guilty. I haven't really had a lot of hobby time due to children and work but I did manage to get an apoc game in with my red scorpions a few weeks ago against nids . It was a massacre I killed everything except his bio Titan that thing was unkillable it just ploughed through my army . Sadly I have very few pics I will try and get 1 up later

Hey thanks! Everyone has a little something somewhere on them. Kill tallies work well for guys who like to remember their conquests and worthy foes! Also drew some different axes on some guys to symbolize conflicts.

 

Might assemble another assault marine and one more tactical to fill that razorback up. Then I may do a Sternguard to give me that option for my Killteam later on. Oh and then a custom gun emplacement. Something portable, kinda like those tarantula sentry guns.

Awesome Executioners!

Well, it has been a few days...quite a few days. I have slowed down on my project but I have made some good progress today. Added some sand to the base, primed the minis, and added a bit of paint & wash to them.

Proof:

Now that I am past the stage I dread most I am ready to sit down with each Astral Claw and paint them one by one. I am also lookgin forward to writing some more fluff. Wish me luck smile.png

Aye, they really look good, hushrong. I'm looking forward to seeing you paint them up!

 

I rediscovered this topic the other day and am still trying to figure out which Chapter to join with. There's a fair chance it'll be Executioners (blame Armond for that :P), but there's still some hesitation that remains.
