Duz does RG

[duz_]

Thanks :D

Well touch ups aside I think I'm done highlighting the chassis I did a few secondary highlights but not sure if it's all the noticeable

Fortunately they were pretty quick

Next up touch ups then then white and details

[duz_]

Finished the chassis! Now on to the weapons :D

[Bjorn Firewalker]

I appreciate the details you included, e.g., outlining the Leviathan's maintenance panels.

Didn't have much time to paint on the weekend but did manage to get some assaulty hellblasters built though :D

Not sure what the numbers are vs regular ones but with 3 shots and a mobile scoring edition seems super thematic for a fast moving hard hitting RG list :yes:

[Alcyon]

You'll be glad to know the Assault variant is statistically superior to the others in terms of pure damage output!

[thewarriorhunter]

I have 5 from the DI box, but I think I'm just going to run them as assault whenever I get around to painting them.

[duz_]

Turns out the only difference between assault ones and rapid fire ones is the scope on the top which tbh I didn't even realise that until after I finished building them and tried to figure out the difference

I didn't add scopes to them all because I liked the variety in the squad and I doubt many people would notice anyways

[thewarriorhunter]

Agreed on folks noticing the difference. I think as long as you run them all as the same thing no is going to care.

[duz_]

That's my thoughts too :D

 

I remember playing my friend at a tournament. He's primarily a DE player and he was pointing out all the guns his vehicles have an how they look different. I said from here they all look the same to me and I'll take his word for it. He said the same about my IG models :lol:

 

Some people take it a bit too seriously sometimes

[Shadow Captain Vyper]

Yea my Intercessors have Auto Bolt Rifle box mags and Stalker Bolt Rifle scopes because - rule of cool 

 

Good call on the assault hellblasters, I do believe This Is The Way for 9th 

[Alcyon]

I didn't put the scopes on mine either, I can't stand the look of these dumb box scopes attached by a tiny mount - they'd get sheared off so easily. And the marine has optics in his helmet, what can they possibly add that couldn't be done by a control pack or something on the helm or backpack?

[duz_]

Yeh I don't quite get some of the Primaris design where the targeting relays are hard wired in or oddly shaped scopes when I thought that stuff was already integrated in

Ohwell...

Meanwhile the other part of my secret sauce for 9th :D :wub:

I forgot how enjoyable building mini Marines with their interchangeable parts is

[tentagil]

They are a little exaggerated, but they look a lot like many modern day holographic scopes. Which are basically wide rectangles. Like many other things on Primaris, they are there to give them a modern day tactical look. Same thing with all the pouches and the grenades all the Phobos guys come with that can be put on their chest plates. They are going for a special ops vibe.

Had an early Xmas present arrive today :D

He's already had a bath too ;)

Also finished a terminator squad :o

Now to actually get some regular ones since I can field all these guys at once :(

[thewarriorhunter]

Are you going to play the actual game? Curious to know if it's any good. I've found the GW box games to be surprisingly good.

[Jaipii]

I'd love to see progress of that RG Contemptor Dread Duz! 

[duz_]

A bit of holiday hobbying :D

Not gonna lie FW dread legs always suck to model. Also putting that assault cannon together was a pain but the arms are magnetised :D

And a family shot

[WAR]

Looking good Duz.....

[Lord Ragnarok]

I love dreads 

I missed this thread. Will check in more often. 

[duz_]

Thanks Rags and War :tu:

I have another quick update dread related. My resin bases for them all came in :D

And one for the chappy too

[duz_]

Got back to working on the levi tonight been slow going brushing all the black on the weapons and trying to avoid the white but I think i broke the back of it tonight!

I also got the middle pod 3/4 the way done some minor washing, layering and highlights and that's another piece u can cross off :D

[Shadow Captain Vyper]

My levi has been sitting assembled and prepped for the airbrush booth for 4 months. Keep going, you're inspiring me :)

[duz_]

Any work on your Levi yet SCV? I think I've had this guy for over a year :sweat:

Well I thought I'd broken the back of it today having done most the layers and washing with just the highlighting to go on the weapons... Then I saw how much highlighting that required :o

And this is just 1 of the 4 primary weapons I have to paint

[WAR]

Sounds like fun....not but looks amamzing 

[Shadow Captain Vyper]

Any work on your Levi yet SCV? I think I've had this guy for over a year

 

Yea, mine is approaching his 1 year anniversary on my desk in just a couple of weeks 

 

I'm preparing around the house for a 2-week holiday vacation which involves driving across the country to Maryland for Christmas, so unlikely I get any hobbying in for the rest of December 

 

Your big boy is looking very sharp, keep up the great work, can't wait to see it finished on one of those bases!
