The Mad Hermit Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Today I bought my first order of stuff from Victoria minis. A set of ten slouch hat-wearing heads, ten bush backpacks, and a sprue of the Julie Guthrie female heads. I already have a few things in mind for most of it, too.

WarriorFish Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I see updates in here, but a dearth of pictures to go with them... this displeases the commissariat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Master Flex Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Today I had a little bit of time so got the faces painted on my metal Cadians http://i.imgur.com/hxWD1AG.jpg KasrkinRyu, MithrilForge, Lord Marshal and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Those faces are impressive! Here are some more photos of 3 other IG projects I painted last month. 1.) I ripped off my old metal Demolisher barrel and replaced it with an eradicator barrel. Here is a photo of the new Eradicator barrel... http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u420/tallarncommander1/20170204_094655.jpg 2.) I redid 20 troopers' bases. This was the last phase of a 2 and a half year project of re-painting all 300-ish troopers and 17 sentinels' bases. I changed the bases from scorched earth/rhinox hide to Tallarn Sand. And because I'm a dork I also gave each trooper a name and added it to her or his base. :) Here is a photo of the new Tallarn Sand color scheme/names on Blue Platoon... http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u420/tallarncommander1/20170115_174927.jpg 3.) I painted up backpacks for 14 Jade Platoon lasgunners & sergeants. All 11 Tallarn squads' lasgunners and sergeants now have backpacks. Here is a photo of Jade Platoon's new backpacks... http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u420/tallarncommander1/20170204_095546.jpg For reference, here is a 2014 photo of the old metal barrel Demolisher barrel (the Demolisher on the left) and the old scorched earth color scheme on Blue Platoon's bases... http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u420/tallarncommander1/March2014DWTournament018.jpg WarriorFish, duz_, Arkaniss and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasrkinRyu Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Today I had a little bit of time so got the faces painted on my metal Cadians http://i.imgur.com/hxWD1AG.jpg These look great!

The newer style colour scheme on the older metal models works really well. And by the throne you must have a steady hand! Thanks mate I appreciate that! I found quite a good unorthodox method for painting eyes and details: Using a 00 or 000 brush, I brace the long end of the brush against my cheek, almost in line with my eye. This allows me to get the model closer to my face to really see details but also limits any shakes/tremors in my hands :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) I made some progress over the week and the weekend. The ADL was primed and painted and then repainted again to establish a clean basecoat. The original drybrushing I had applied was teeeerrible. The Russ has 2 of 4 camo colors applied and will need some line touch-ups. The guardsmen and sentinel were from earlier in the week. I'm still not sure about the sentinel camo. It's zany but...historical..unfortunately. http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/MarineErrant/IG1_zpsnkwxslrn.jpg http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/MarineErrant/20170205_203519_zpsfinmkwt2.jpg http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/MarineErrant/20170205_203538_zpsgzldbboa.jpg http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/MarineErrant/20170205_204225_zpshlztqhpy.jpg http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/MarineErrant/20170205_204230_zpsajtwzbta.jpg Edited February 6, 2017 by Zeller Arkaniss and WarriorFish 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Great stuff! I love the Russ camo very well executed :tu: I think the Sentinel is fine, there are all sorts of weird world and camouflage schemes to go with them ;) The base grey matches your nice infantry too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Master Flex Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Today I finished my first veterans squad - apologies for the lighting!

WarriorFish Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Great work, the colours are really nice and the skin and faces came out excellently :) If you're painting squads up, what about a vow for the Cleansing of Ioria? ;) Jam Master Flex 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Master Flex Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I love the guardsman that is looking to his right with that "Oh Lord I hope the commissar isn't watching." He was a bit of an accident as the first eye I did ended up in the corner so then I thought let's make him look nervous! He's my favourite now, had to make him my profile photo haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I reckon he's awesome! They are some of the best Cadians I've seen in years. Faces are really tough to do and you've nailed them. Really well done. Jam Master Flex 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasrkinRyu Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 This afternoon i finished work early and finally the weather is decent so I could spray my Valkyrie. At least I can do that decently, I spent sometime spraying car parts...kinda want a mini spray gun now D: WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It's great to see some of the old Cadians getting some love. I thought they were excellent miniatures (I have some myself) and it would have been fantastic if GW had turned them into plastic rather than redesigning them like they did (especially the helmets). Ho Hum... :( Today, my Army got an unexpected Panther-Russ tank (still WIP): http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/Squat%20Vehicles/SquatWIP132_zpsnmyn46ot.jpg It's a little back heavy but I can live with that. It has been a relatively simple conversion which means I will be able to repeat it a few times :) . I still have a little work to do but it is ticking along OK :) .

Shamansky Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) 'Are you sure this is legal Todson?' 'Adsoluely major. I have my man in Munitorum. We play regicide from time to time. And i must say he's not a good one at it' 'If that man knew you better, he would never play with you.' 'Oh major, that's just a game? More so those guys are leftovers as we are. Their transport ship crash-landed on a planet infestad with orks and tyranids.' 'I hope you did not arrange that' 'Major I'm just a humble servant of the Emperor' 'And you should pray him harder. Or somebody in Munitorum or Commissariat will get too interested in your actions.' 'I did nothing wrong. And you know major, I play regicide with our regimental commissar too. He's very venturous and not very careful' 'Oh Throne... If I was not in command of a regiment that have to fight for every box of rations, I would execute you long time ago lieutenant' 'The goals justify the means, don't you agree?

Shamansky Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Last weekend i went to tournament with my 'new' tanks with artillery and infantry support. 50% of armies there were ynnari... The only questions in my head is was the man who wrote this a xenosexualist and what was he thinking of while making one of the strongest armies even stronger? Beacuse of poor wording you get up to THREE shooting phases with multiple strenght D shots per game turn! Facemelting. The only thing to counter this that came across my mind were full scale combined platoons with lots of HWTs, conscripts, commissars, priests and maybe psykana division (i'm not so sure about those witches). Foot slogging mass of infantry that won't be caring really much about what is shooting at it. Edit:One more thing 'Emperor's Wrath' artillery formation is really His wrath in flesh. I took 2 wyverns, 1 manticore, Volkov's cane, Vox, and a servitor for tech-priest.

Inso Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) For my army, I have started the third platoon and have partially assembled the two infantry units. I need to assemble the command.

Tallarn Commander Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Shamansky, Yes, I went to a tournament last weekend and many of the armies were Ynarri there as well. 2 of my 3 games were against them! Those of us who weren't Ynarri, in homage to Oprah, started shouting during our games, "And you get a soulburst, and you get a soulburst..." If you can't beat your opponent, at least you can annoy them. :) Edited April 4, 2017 by Tallarn Commander duz_ and Arkaniss 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
