Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I like where this is going, however my only gripe is that the gun can only pivot a lot less now because of the statues. The tank destroyer types have a fixed superstructure and not a turret so the statues won't be interfering with its ability to shoot.

helterskelter Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well as that was addressed before I could get round to doing a post I thought I best address something else before someone gets ahead of my game http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz184/Lamenterkyle/Mobile%20Uploads/20150912_150635_zpstp3drjhl.jpg Yes tentacles. Told you. Anyway had to go grab some primer from hobby theft this morning. Need to order my blue from GW this week too. The painting is going to be delayed by a few days which makes me most sad :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/6/#findComment-4170401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well guys were nearing the half way point of month 1 I wonder if we will see anymore progress Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/6/#findComment-4170426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Snap, not sure if I will limit it to 10 or go for the full monty. Paint speed suggest 2 units of 10 over 2 months though, especially as they still need a lot of work.

GhostMalone Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 So guys the hydra unfortunately has pulled out; but since September isn't over we will backfill the position. I have emailed those on the waiting list so whoever replies or contacts me first will be added to our roster. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/images-10_zpsouj82u1j_edit_1442185078682_zpsxpbxbzoa.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/6/#findComment-4170844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkyn Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I cannot paint white. That's something I have realized over these past few days. So, instead of White Scars, I shall have Greyish White Scars.

GhostMalone Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Dude white scars look better as an off white or light grey believe me if you try to go full white they look cartoony. I know you can do it after all us aussies have to show everyone how it's done grotsmasha is included Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/6/#findComment-4170954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the models for this and next month but would then struggle so would rather let someone take my place now then part way through the 'tale'. Will stay active though, keep an eye on all te fantastic work being done.

So, instead of White Scars, I shall have Greyish White Scars. White, more than anything is an exercise in patience. I did a one off White Scar and used only (for the white) Ceramite White, Nuln Oil, and White Scar, all over a Black Primer. I thinned the two whites more than usual. Ceramite White was 4 thin coats and White Scar was 3 REALLY thin coats and a un-thinned highlight (which doesn't show in the pic).

SW1 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Am I able to change the models I was going to do? Doubt I'll manage to get the henchmen unit completed in time. Would like to change it a single Inquisitor kitted out with a conversion beamer in power armour. The bits are sat on my desk ready to go. I've also come across some Spyra models and the twin fist one is exactly like the description of an Inquisitors rig in the first book of the Bastion Wars trilogy. So want to do that as well once I pull the book out and check his name out. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/6/#findComment-4171005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Invictus Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'll get my remaining terminators done this weekend, and maybe pledge a centurion if I have enough time. Also got my FW order so I have a lot more models for next month . Kurama, I'm loving the look of those assault marines. Can't wait to see them painted up!

NovemberIX Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 So I took y'alls advice and decided to try to bind something to my hobby table, ya know for the extra buffs, but I'm not sure it went right..... Here we see mostly the legs and torso of the Contemptor (who really needs a name by this point...) They're pretty much at the point where I can glue, but I need to make it's base first since it's gonna have a rather Captain Morgan pose if I pull off what I'd like. Up next and much more done is the Deredeo. The guns still need straitening, and I'm considering washing the barrels. I can already tell the missile launcher is gonna be the headache inducing part of this project. Resin just doesn't fit together right. (I think I hear Honda yelling damn skippy across the city) That said I think I'm really starting to like the model. It has the feel of something from Macross, a light sorta VB-6 Konig Monster. I figure this week should see the completion of the Deredeo and the glueing of the Contemptor.

Balthamal Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Still waiting on my FW order and not able to paint anything atm because it's raining pretty much horizontal.

GhostMalone Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Brother it's okay I still have to produce another 5 and give them all combat shields.

SW1 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My post seems to have been eaten up from earlier. :( Here we go again ... My new starting vow is an Inquisitor in Power Armour with a Conversion Beamer and mastery lvl 1 for 108 points. Currently carving a mk3 body in half to glue a GK back onto the front of the chest. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/6/#findComment-4172562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
