dogfender Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I really like the Horse statues on the LR. Definitely a great way to tie in the 'mongol' heritage ties. I assume the doors have closed on joining? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/3/#findComment-4162305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 The front access ramps sized while I was gap filling so I'll leave them sealed, once I get the MkIIb kit I'll finish it all. I just took a family portrait of all the gear in my personal thread I'm thinking of adding the rusting and Weathering like I did for the drop pod Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/3/#findComment-4162307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm still here, we've just had a "all hands on deck" issue at work for a couple of days, I've had 18-20 hr days for the last three, my points/pics are still inbound, but for now it's a bare-bones 10 man Terminator squad.

Soldier of Dorn Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Update on the Red Marshal- http://i.imgur.com/ATnD2Kv.jpg?1 Not sure how I like his eyebrows, so they'll probably be redone. But I really like his soulpatch. http://i.imgur.com/oWCD0Zw.jpg?1 Also, my first freehand (aside from a lot of lightning on Night Lords). Didn't turn out half bad, in my opinion. I kinda ran out of space to write TEMPLAR, so that'll be redone, probably. Also, everyone's stuff is totes looking great.

Dantay VI Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 @ Kurama: Hope the chest gets better fella. I have to say you are changing my view on the Land Raider. I didn't think the horses on top would look that good, but you are winning me around. Its going to be a nice centerpiece for your army once done :) @ The Psycho: The freehand looks pretty good, maybe you could use a very soft pencil and rough out boundary markers for each letter to help make sure they stay within bounds. If feeling daring you could also maybe draw them in with pencil and overlay with paint. If you are going to paint, have you considered using a cocktail stick or wooden barbecue skewer to get that nice tight point for doing lettering. I have sometimes used a mechanical pencil with a very thin lead too. Its how I did the runes on this chest panel Alternatively sakura micron pens work really well too and they come in a range of sizes & thicknesses too. Good work so far though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/3/#findComment-4162455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW1 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm going to start with a basic squad of henchmen: Priest with Eviscerator 11 Acolytes (3 with plasma pistols) If memory serves me right that should be 144 points.

Atia Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 @ Kurama: the ponies really turned out awesome so far^^ <3 can't wait for some battle-damage on the tanks @ The Psycho: for the inscriptions, i know your problem, i usually try it out a few times on my paint-station before i paint the name. Also, i search the middle, write the middle letter there, than the last letter (in your case R), than the first, and than works towards the middle^^ (also a very thin brush, or if you can get your hands on one, an inscription brush really helps for that kind of work) P T P R T E M P L A R hope that helps @ Dantay: wuhu, awesome chest panel!

Soldier of Dorn Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 @dantay&Atia: Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try out some of the things you suggested. Also, I might have done something silly to the Red Marshal. I'll post a picture later.

Soldier of Dorn Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 So, funny thing happened today. I was looking at the Red Marshal and thinking something along the lines of the following- Well, since I'm gonna run the Battle Demi-Company, 'cause ObSec on everything is the dope, I won't have Crusader Squads. Therefore, my most reliable CC squad will be, obviously, my Assault Marines, and ol' Red is kitted out for CC. But he doesn't have a jump pack, which means he's for going with them. Well, (taking out the trusty X-Acto) we can totes fix that. TL;DR: This happened http://i.imgur.com/bPIyreK.jpg?1 Since a jump pack is another 15 points, is it too much to ask that it be added to my total?
