The Sons of Jaghati (HHWS) CoC VIII distraction

Thanks everyone, gives me a bit of a confidence boost for armies on parade in 2 weeks.

 

So yesterday I picked up a firestorm redoubt and some 6th ed objective markers to make objectives for my white scars army.

 

Now with the skull crushers I do have an idea to use them for next year's army on parade entry that I'm planning and im going to be creating a dedication to the sons of the XIIth. I will be sending a PM to a couple of people to get there input for this project.

Nice. Loving that Bag o' Bits.  Must be some goodies in there for later use. Pity I couldn't catch up with you when I was in Adelaide a few months ago. Next time, definitely. Will bring my boys from this and we can have a Tale of Hobbyists Battle. 

Dude whenever your in town give me a buzz I'll always have a second army free for a game.

 

Now that my white scars are getting close to a full army I'm looking towards my Solar auxillia again but will need to strip and rebase them.

 

I'll still add to this force I still want to add another drop pod and tac Squad another 10 assault marines a storm Eagle some more jetbikes and a command squad and 3 Whirlwind Scorpius

I just chopped and swapped, still need a bit of GS to fill some minor gaps but I'm happy with the result.

 

Fun fact each one is after a chaos forum member that I admire so a cookie or steak to whoever guesses which one each model represents

Left is Flint13, I think because of her love for top-knots.

Centre is BCK because chainglaives are a NL thing and he did an awesome conversion of one in the ETL for his Crimson Sons captain,

Right side is Hyenadae, when I read his stories it seems to be from the troopers point of view and the bolt gun is the quintessential troopers weapon. Apart from hat I think his stuff is really awesome :)

 

Am I close??

  • 2 weeks later...

So today was a kick in the nuts, I didn't even place out of 6 entrants;

 

1st place

I feel the judging was based mainly as the skill level wasn't really in the miniatures itself

 

2nd place

A nice entry the kid that painted this truly deserved second

 

3rd place

More or less annoyed this placed above me as the actual techniques used weren't amazing I'll admit the piece itself is nice but I'm more piss than anything.

 

 

And the rest

yes I'm being bitter but I'm really pissed off that no guidelines on voting were in place, I personally feel that technique realism story and the setting need to be conditions.

 

Not on how many mates you get to vote.

So I'm taking a hobby hiatus as I can't focus when I'm so :cussing angry at myself

It's not down to you dude, the ultra one captures the feel quite well, however armies on parade should be that. Singular army in a setting. And you have put together a really nice board! That raider won you a stack of goodies, enjoy them and get your mind off the marines for a bit. You can't stop hobbying. I won't stand for it

It's not like that it's the fact that the models aren't washed or layered or fine detailed it's more to me on the effort and skill not base coating and using pre mixed basing etc.

 

But I'm just negative as I felt under appreciated

I just want to say, that your table looked great, but with anthing that is a popularity contest things like this happen. 

 

BUT, don't let it dishearten you, its a great display and it will not 'go off' so you will be able to use it again and then at a comp where judging is not done by the 'pepole', the quality of your work will show. 

 

Looks great, as does the whole thread. 

It's all good dude, 30k is still edgy and un-cool in the larger GW pool.

 

Which in turn makes you rad. For what it's worth you would've gotten my vote. That Ultramarine one has models that are base-coated blue with just shoulder trim and boltgun metal painted on. The only legitimate competition seems like the Eldar vs Nids piece. Even the BA one, I'm sure the models are nice, but the terrain is cartoon-y and looks like it's pulled out of a Scooby-Doo image of a spooky ruined town.

 

Normally I'm not a harsh critic because I support everyone trying their hand at this hobby, but you not even placing feels like a blatant move to put down the one guy who painted up a heresy army.

 

Who ran the comp? GW employees?

Thanks guys I'm not as heartless and moody as im coming across, im just critical of my own work and the fact I'm constantly trying to develop me skills and fit the setting I get annoyed when I meet people who don't have the love for this hobby I do.

 

I don't know how many arguments I've had with people over the Horus Heresy as most people have only read a handful of Novels and aren't half as versed in the fluff etc.

 

Hell people don't know the difference between a fire raptor and a storm Eagle.

 

Next year I'll build a city of battle Forge World board and put night lords on it and make it feel like a true scene from the heresy and I'll probably still not place
