Today my IG (AM)....

[duz_]

Finished my first RR squad. Got slightly quicker to assemble towards the end.

Didn't realise the RR were out yet Duz; can't wait to see what you do with them.

Meanwhile I have a heavy bolter team nearly finished for the Yantar 8th- Victoria Miniatures bodies with cadian heads- And a sentinel pilot with an arm posed holding the converted door open also nearly done. Four more infantry on the way too. Might be a little while til I get round to finishing them, but progress is progress!

[Ramell]

Pew pew.

 

Still far from done, cannon, shield and lascarbine aren't even glued on yet, but I'm making progress. Lots of edge highlighting to do on the carriage before I move on to the next part.

[duz_]

@Boneheadyes they've been out for a little while now. Although are hard to get now from what I've heard.

I'm not sure how I'll paint them yet. (Knowing me I won't ). I thought about 3rd Ed colours but they're too close to my Mordians so maybe a take on their current box art. 

VM does great stuff, I use head swaps for various things. 

 

Great work @Ramellcan't wait to see the final product.

I just bought a second Baneblade - I have a list that I really want to play, so it will be a race to build it.

[duz_]

Always a great choice! 

 

I local was selling 3x for $300 I almost bought it so I could do a @Hiroand have 5 of them 

[Bonehead]

I've just seen that Victoria Minis will be doing their own rough riders- I guess that settles what I'll be doing when it comes time to add my own. But I'll be taking inspiration from what you work out to do with yours, Duz.

In the meanwhile, here's some more finished infantry: three troopers and an officer. Definitely not my worst work, if not spectacular. They'll join the growing horde on the shelf for now. I must be near 70 finished models by this stage.

Holding the longer plastic panels in place when gluing (there were slightly warped of the sprue)

Built my first RR on the weekend geez they're fiddly! This one took me an hour! Only 9 left 

 

 

Really? Guess I’m glad I kitbashed mine, even with all the cutting it didn’t take me anywhere near an hour for assembly

I see it’s currently a stormlord, I too just completed a stormlord

I have been running a stormlord competitively now for a few weeks in our league - with 4 heavy bolter sponsons and ingrained precision strat auto wounding on 5+ is very deadly, my next list will be a stormlord and a Banehammer both full of infantry, command squads and Kasrkin and all I deploy are the two superheavies and a fully loads Leman Russ.

I went with full 4 sponsons just because the extra lascannons added a lot of much needed dedicated AT firepower that my army generally lacks.

First platoon has now got its first infantry squad to add to the command squad :) (for my Astra Militarum proxy army - Squats):

 

[Bonehead]

Looking pretty amazing, Inso! Did you have a blog on warseer called 'good, old-fashioned squats'? If not there's someone else out there doing the same thing as you, but it seems unlikely.

This week I decided to lay out everything I'd built and painted so I'd know what to do next. Blimey. 71 infantry and a sentinel. Not bad going. Just a few more models needed here and there to make a pretty decent little force, even if I don't play any more. Another sentinel, some more weapon teams and a few troopers to flesh out a squad here and there.

Then what? I'm running out of AK lasguns so I think I'm going to top out at 6 infantry squads. RR will come when VM do the kickstarter campaign. Vehicles? Artillery? Suggestions welcome.

Running my Baneblade in our local league and keep forgetting where the guns are going so I whipped up some tokens on my laser cutter. 

[Bonehead]

Finished a 2nd sentinel, with a nice little converted driver and open door. Also a couple of specialists for a command squad and the last HB gunner to finish a fire support squad.

Damn. I can see in the picture that I've missed the final washes on the leg pistons to make it look oily. Oh well, not a big job.

Happy easter/ weekend everyone.

[mertbl]

Beat Eldar in my league game with the baneblade! 

 

Then switched lists and losing to noise marine spam when the store closed and we had to quit. He was running 6 units of noise marines with 4 units of cultists and a big 10 pack of possessed. Vanquisher did exactly nothing, even with full rerolls from Lord Solar. 2 rerolled into a 1 or a 1 rerolled into a 2.

Today, an Engineseer was recruited into my proxy Astra Militarum Squats:

 

[Inso]

Here's the next squad for my proxy Astra Militarum (Squats); a heavy weapon squad for the first platoon of blue company :) :

 

 

[Bonehead]

Six more Troopers of the Yantar 8th done. I must be up to 80 models by now. Not quite up to the speed of certain unstoppable nutcases of this parish but they make for a nice mass of co-ordinated colour on my shelf.

Just a few odd models here and there to finish and it'll be time to move on to regimental advisors, and start thinking about vehicles. Two sentinels are not going to achieve much on their own.

Today my IG... kicked ass. Player Placed Terrain for our League, that GW wood in the middle is an Obscuring/Light Cover "Glass Box". It was added after some feedback from other league players to help those not great with player placed terrain. 

 

He was running a DP, Lucius, MoP, 10 Possessed, 8x5 Noise Marines, 4x10 Cultists.
