A Mordian march to glory

[duz_]

Thanks Bjorn

When I put the assassin in some foam I stumbled across this VM commander that I had speed painted for an event last year

I decided I'd go back and finish her off

Not sure it was worth the effort but another thing off the list at least

Still have plenty of other options for the painting event too...

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The guardswoman is well-painted, with an adequately decorated base. I believe I previously complained about her pose, though; she looks like she's simultaneously relaxing with the chainsword resting on her right shoulder; surrendering with her raised left hand, and bracing to receive an enemy attack with her spread legs. If you put a grenade in her left hand, so it looks like she's about to throw it, then her pose will look much less ambiguous. Edited March 13, 2019 by Bjorn Firewalker

Nice job on cleaning up a loose end. I don't know if I could ever speed paint, I think it might stress me out too much.

[Captain_Krash]

Great looking guardswomen! Throw some yellow stripes on her chainsword for some old school flair

Thanks

 

Hrmmm Krash, you might be onto something... Some silver "hazard" stripes might break it up a bit, I may try that out ;)

 

As for her pose to me she seems to be nonchalantly issuing a hand signal to her troops :tu:

Duz_, I am a huge fan of Mordians and their doctrine. I enjoy your work as well. Now I need to pick your brain. Have you ever considered movement trays? They would make my life easier but am concerned because the bases might not touch completely. Any suggestions?

[duz_]

Thanks Hawkeye :D

I really enjoy the Mordian RDs plays very well to my play style.

I did actually try some movement trays at a tournament last year. They were designed with no gap and were great. Helped speed up my deployment and movement phases and no one compalined about their use or meeting RD requirements.

I got them from here

Hope that helps! :tu:

My new bases showed up over the weekend

They look great already have the resin washed too

 

If I have some time might paint a few up in the next week or so

 

Likely be purchasing more for the rest of my army. :tu:

[Captain_Krash]

Can't wait to see them Duz, I was thinking on getting some as well. Your pics will convince me.

Some absolutely gorgeous miniatures throughout this thread mate, particularly love those Bullgryns. The blue looks very clean, good job.

Gotta admit, I'm quite jealous of all that terrain of yours and that Killteam board you're working on looks fantastic. Working on something similiar myself, though in 1' by 1' sections so eventually build out into a decently sized 40k board.

 

Keep up the good work.

[duz_]

Thanks SoC :)

Ugh sooo much terrain though! I Have 2 more boxes unbuilt and none painted :sweat:
One day maybe... might need to take another long weekend just to get some done!
Although I also have to redo the floor in my man cave too :ermm:

Speaking of days off I had one yesterday and got around to zenithal priming 30 guardsmen! And basing my new bases, which turned out quite well :D
Next step is to mask their shoulder boards and base blue! Hopefully all this work is worth it! <_<

[The Pounder]

Loved the battle pics, nothing like fully painted forces.

 

Are those your Primaris? Which chapter will they be?

[duz_]

Thx Jud

 

The primaris are part of my RG force

Bit more progress today got 21/30 models rebased

Still need to finish painting both but was a good time to put them on their new bases. They're resin which is nice as it gives them some weight to counter balance the metal minis. The looks like I'll have to order more soon and :D

Oh also varnished my Demolisher tank I'd finished previously

Not much time to hobby this evening but managed to finish of the new heroic base and mount my Artel W commissar. :D

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Commissar is well done.

[duz_]

I started batch painting last night on scale I haven't done since long before the Cicatrix Maledictum

~2hrs and 60 shoulder boards later I just need to hit them with a quick dry brush or two and maybe a layer. I also based the faces 3 different colours so I get some pale skin tones off different shades for some variety.

Next I'll probably look at blocking in the blue. Going to try something slightly different that what I've previously done. Normally I'd just do a nylon wash, however going off the UM Primaris painting guide I'm going to try a 50/50 drakenhof / lahmian wash to see how that goes.

[duz_]

Because I have a problem, especially when it comes to Commissars I just ordered this guy... 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile Anvil is releasing 3 new ones shortly too which I will also likely purchase 

[thewarriorhunter]

I'm hoping Anvil gets their new power armor stuff out soon because they have had some really cool stuff in the past. I want to see what bits I can stick on my marines to spice them up.

[librisrouge]

What a weird thing to consider a problem. Have you considered asking the commissariat for guidance?

[duz_]

Well the solution is clear, I purchase them all and run 6 each game ;) 

[Gederas]

I think that Commissar is supposed to be Ciaphas Cain. The sideburns and cup of tea make me think it is

I think that Commissar is supposed to be Ciaphas Cain. The sideburns and cup of tea make me think it is

Judging by the fact that his uniform looks like both a guardsman officer and a Commissar's uniform smashed together, I assume that this is supposed to be Ibram Gaunt.

[WarriorFish]

I did v1 for ETL IV:

As you can see, he is much more heroic ;):P

[librisrouge]

It is Ciaphas Cain. There is a Jurgen model that goes with him to make the situation absolutely perfect.
