HackedDuck Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 So I'm moving over to the guard now that my admech is nearly done - so far I have -2 x leman russ -chimera - command squad - 30 Cadians (sprinkled with special weapons) - commissar - 1x heavy weapon team here's the chimera about 90% done just a little bit more work to do Dunno how to do the searchlight so I just painted it yellow for now - any advice? Also I played my first game using ad mech and guard allied and even though it ended in a defeat it was the most fun game of 40k I have ever had. It started slow but around turn 3 our armies clashed in the middle and it was a glorious bloodbath :P -Raven guard try to hide from the glory seeking command squad- (Also don't know why this one is sideways, sorry) -the last survivor of my entire army faces down the enemy army(he was replaced with the banner for dramatic effect)- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324533-cadian-steel-ducks-guard-force-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Lovely colours there, always great to see a nice Cadian army as they're relatively rare (we're all too busy with our DIYs mostly :P )! I'm looking forward to seeing more :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324533-cadian-steel-ducks-guard-force-wip/#findComment-4460363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Very nicely painted Duck. Guard can do a lot as allies. It's nice to see a cadian army that's not out of codex pictures. As WF said we're usually too wrapped up in our DIY's or doing the unsupported armies (Steel Legion, Vostroyan Firstborn, Tallarn and so forth).

Father Mehman Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I can't see the searchlight very well but, if you haven't already, slap some Casandora Yellow on it, brighten it back up with whatever yellow you used to basecoat it, and call it a day. As for the army itself: looks great! I mean, 30 guardsmen is a little light but you're trying ! It's funny because we die in droves. Nothing? I'm still not funny! Anyway, now all you have to do is give us some backstory. Don't be shy about it either. Just post away!

Anyway, now all you have to do is give us some backstory. Don't be shy about it either. Just post away!I'll have to do some research first :p Well today my eBay orders finally came in - The heavy weapon teams need rebasing but apart from that they are painted pretty well :) But the commissar might need stripping as the primer has chipped off in places I also finished a cadian commander - Not too happy with the skin but I have practised on some other models and I think I can do it better now C+C welcome as always!

WarriorFish Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 A good haul of models there, and your commander looks great! The highlighting makes the colours pop nicely, this standard would make for a brilliant looking army on the table top :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324533-cadian-steel-ducks-guard-force-wip/#findComment-4470452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Mehman Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Excellent job on that commander, Duck! Don't worry about the skin too much as it looks very good from my end. His coat is so smooth looking, too. I mean smooth as in no bumps or anything, not the slang term meaning... whatever. You understand. Keep it up ! PS: Also waiting for your fluffy backstory!

The Mad Hermit Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Some great stuff here. I'm interested to see how that Commissar turns out, as I have one of that particular model and I like seeing what other people do with stuff that I own.

HackedDuck Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Minor Setback So I just tried to prime some scions with a colour from Montana gold that I bought about 6-9 months ago. And well, now my scions look like they are made out of lumpy stone :( tommorow I'm off to get some stripper and a new primer from Wilkos. I'm sure not all sprays from Montana gold are like this just unfortunately it has slowed my progress a little.

Father Mehman Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Fantastic job on the tank, Duck! It looks almost good enough to put mud all over it ! Ah, mud. Glorious mud. Tell us, have you worked on your Commissars any more? Those Scions might get a bit footloose and fancy free if their CO isn't around barking at them. Well, more than likely they'll just stand there waiting for orders. Alright, these are the things we need: more tank pictures, more Commissar pictures, and a few Scion snapshots. Especially Scions ! Keep up the great work ! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324533-cadian-steel-ducks-guard-force-wip/#findComment-4501576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HackedDuck Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Reinforcements the cadian 285th were sent to gamma-epsilon0182625 to deal with the heretical uprising. If there one thing the 285 hate more than anything it's those who turn their back to the imperium. Whilst staying on gamma-epsilon0182625 (aka kipta) they were joined by the local PDF force, although weak more guns are better than none...Reinforcements were also sent the form of scions (still WIP but really liking the lense)And a commisar...Word has also been sent for a wyvern to destroy the hordes of heretics..........

HackedDuck Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Decision time!!!!! So I have the funds now to buy either a vendetta or the start collecting scions kit. The question is what would everyone like to see? I'll go with the most popular decision Or I could go for 3 sentinels or a couple more russes, pretty more anything from £50-£70 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324533-cadian-steel-ducks-guard-force-wip/#findComment-4534797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Your tank scheme is really nice, would you be doing the same for the Vendetta? I'm assuming you'll be kit bashing the lascannons rather than the FW kit? The Scion box is cool, good value and a data slate that helps them out nicely on the table top. A couple of Russ tanks would be great but given all the choices are good I'll have to go with Sentinels because aside from liking them a lot you've not done any yet ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324533-cadian-steel-ducks-guard-force-wip/#findComment-4534822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I do like both models however I do find more use for deep striking Scions at 90pts then 3 TL LC for 170. The scion box is also super good value and so is their formation.
