Inso Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I thought it was about time I took stock and get some images of my Astra Militarum, Squat army... as it stands at the moment. There is still a bit to go but this is where it's at :) : Infantry Company: https://i.imgur.com/X7ccsO3.jpg Veteran Company: https://i.imgur.com/yAqF2yN.jpg Armoured Company: https://i.imgur.com/kjnwe8T.jpg High Eschelon Leadership Company: https://i.imgur.com/LhgWcXP.jpg I still need to sort out the third infantry platoon and the transport for the Infantry Company and Veterans... but I'm almost there :) ... well, apart from paint ;) . The High Eschelon units count as allied Space Marine units. 4CIN87, duz_ and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Today, I've started painting these guys: These casts were sent to me by Macrocosm. They are from the ones I sculpted for the kickstarter and I have actually put a bit of paint on them (primed and I have started the black on the Commissar)... I couldn't help myself :) . These will be the first members of my grand new Astra Militarum army :) . Cap'm Heckus, Kriegsmacht, 4CIN87 and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mertbl Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I requisitioned a baneblade chassis today. Working quickly to get it through the forge and paint shop. GW was rather clever in how the pieces interact. I could see myself buying 3 and magnetizing the main gun so I can have all 3 chassis variants with minimal hassle. It only took me like 20 years in the hobby to buy 1 baneblade, we will see how quickly the second follows.

Fortunately Commissar Elmo had already prepared a great tutorial on how to magnetise them. I've used it twice :D http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297605-tutorial-magnetisation/page-2?do=findComment&comment=3867853 If you build it in time it will make a great entry into the current hobby event! :tu: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362435-chalnath-expanse-liberation-hobby-event/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tonne of faff but you can magnetise a single box to enable you to build all variants. You do have to cut one of the panels very VERY cleanly in half though. Mine still doesn't quite slot together perfectly but it's better than buying multiple. Unless you want to run multiple of course! Just ordered 3 manticores to replace my three basilisks in the Emperor's Wrath Artillery detachment. Will see how much of an improvement they are vs SM with the new Tank Ace rules. Going all out mechanised with a Baneblade, 3 x Manticore, 3 x Hellhound and Tank commanders with troops and astropaths to make a brigade.

Inso Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I've run out of Squats to paint... so I'll be sculpting a few more now :) ... here's the start of my new Astra Militarum army: A Commissar, Sgt and some troopers: and a small squad of Ratling Snipers (the bases have now been painted to match the others): These will all form part of the Command platoon, consisting of a Company Commander, a Commissar, a Command Squad, a Ratling Squad and two Infantry Squads (each with special weapons). Lots to do :) ... 4CIN87, Warhead01, Cap'm Heckus and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The manticore doesnt get any buffs from the emperors wrath specialist detachment. The emperor has truly smiled on my guard during this time of dire plague. I purchased the Apoc Spearhead Detachment from my local store mere hours before my state shuts down.

Kriegsmacht Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It's been a while since i've been around here focused on other things. Decided recently to open my tank factory and finish my Chimera, Punisher and Hydra. Minor things to do but i'm happy where they are now. Started working on a Devil Dog but I need to wait for an order of paints come in the mail. I need more London Grey and Flat Brown paints for the rest of my vehicles. duz_, Bjorn Firewalker, Ldorte and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Good job on the tanks. The camouflage patterns are well done. Kriegsmacht 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hidden Content What is this "done" you speak of? The tank company is fully painted (just needs decals) and I have NO plans to add to that particular tank company. I think 12 tanks in a company is about right . These are the rest of them: I may end up getting more tanks but this company is finished... done... . I know this post is a while ago but just want to say I love the use of Tiger IIs for your IG army. Love that tank. Inso 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Today, my army got some more future recruits :) ... some new head sculpts: The top two will be available for purchase (at some point) but the bottom three are one-offs for my army :) . Once the first two are cast up, I'll be adding some of those to my army as well :) ...

Inso Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Now that I've finished the head-swaps for my troopers (the three at the bottom, on the last post), I have had the chance to get a bit of priming done so I can add a few new recruits to the army :) : duz_, Kriegsmacht and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'm Heckus Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I stripped the paint from a used punisher tank and re-primed it so I can start fresh. Sadly it’s guns were glued in so I can’t magnetized it but it’s a punisher with HB sponsons so I think I’ll manage. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 That's not the worst combination to be stuck with on a punisher Do you know what glue was used? Dettol generally breaks down super glue from my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
