Strata Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Alright, so i've gotten the second batch of ten finished up. They've been based, weapons highlighted, and i've even gone ahead and painted in the eye lenses using the new thousand sons blues. Pictures will come in the next day or two, once my camera has charged up so i can use it again.. This brings it up to a total of Tactical Marines now. I currently have a rhino sitting primed waiting for the airbrush to be brought out to get a base coat layed on easily. After that, im doing alittle debating, and thought i'd pose the question up here. I have 20 Mk4 marines sitting in box right now, Shall i add them into this force, or use them for a different project?

Strata Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Alright, Here are the promised photos of the completed second batch. Bases Plus eye lenses finished. I've also taken a picture of the full 20 marines finished so far. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/17/844754_sm-2Alpha.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/17/844755_sm-2Beta.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/17/844756_sm-Full%20Tac%20Squad%2C%201.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327958-broken-iron/page/2/#findComment-4595540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strata Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 +++ I suspect we found out about this great betrayal the same way many of our brothers did. At the end of a bolt gun. For us, it were the cowards of the Eigth that came to test our allegiance. They payed for it in blood and flesh, For we are our Father's sons, every last one of us. Let none who seek to test our resolve forget this very important fact. ~~ Talleran Valk: Acting warsmith, 73rd Grand Battalion +++ I've started work on my first Rhino, and while it's only seen it's basecoat so far, i have to say, i already like how it looks. As this is going to be my test to see how my scheme fairs across vehicles, and other such beasts, i'm going to take alittle bit of time to work it out. So far, so good. This is my first play with GW's air range Leadbealcher, and im quite pleased with these early results. Next up comes the initial wash, which i have the feeling i'll need to pay alittle extra attention to when it comes to the flat slabs that make up the sides of the tank. I'll post an update once that step has been compleated. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/17/844805_sm-R1a%20Basecoat.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/17/844806_sm-R1b%20Basecoat.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327958-broken-iron/page/2/#findComment-4595858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfgar Ironmane Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Looks fantastic, makes me finally feel the gut feeling of getting back in the painting frey and continue with my Iron warriors.

Strata Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 So, I may have skipped a few steps in getting pictures of this first rhino.. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/18/844997_sm-Rhino1a.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/18/844998_sm-Rhino1b.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327958-broken-iron/page/2/#findComment-4596717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strata Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 +++ Reinforcements inbound Warsmith. Forge output operating at Seventy-Four Percent.+++ Finally my awaited shipment of new bits and peices have arrived to keep working on personalizing my legion. Thats the good news, I can finally get back to work! Now the bad.. Some how when i thought i was ordering my Mastadon to bolster my forces.. i didnt. A slip up somewhere, and instead what i find waiting for me in the box was a Warlord Titan's Arioch Power Claw. And yet.. i have no Titan for it to be used by. Let this be a lession for anyone wise enough to listen.. don't prescription medicine and forgeworld.

Strata Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 +++ The loss of the tyrant siege master was a minor set back to our plans. While his recent performance on the field has been deminished compared to counterparts from other grand companies, there was still use for him. According to the warsmith, there still /IS/ use for that husk. A Deredeo chassis has been prepared for its new occupant. The choice of armaments, in particular the Hellfire Cannonade has been chosen as a direct reminder of the siege masters failures. His mortal wound having been derived by plasma fire. +++ http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/1/7/848540_sm-Deredeo%20.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327958-broken-iron/page/2/#findComment-4615612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strata Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Some time has passed, and i've been busy in the forge. The Dereado has been fully built, im concidering some brass etch to give it some extra character before it gets its coat of primer. One of a set of twin bodyguards for the warsmith has been started on, and It's coming along quite nicely i think, save for a somewhat strange looking arm.. that should hopefully clear itself out once painted. And lastly, with the upgrade sets i got in, the first half of my second 20 man tac squad has seen its construction stages, and await their time with primer. Where the leader of the first group sports the same armement as his squad to show he is still their brother, this squad's leader has a more.. heavy handed approach. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/1/14/849867_sm-Deredeo%20built.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/1/14/849868_sm-Iron%20circle%20wip1.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/1/14/849869_sm-Tac%203a.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/1/14/849870_sm-Tac%203b.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327958-broken-iron/page/2/#findComment-4622899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 So most of the Marines are plastic from the BoC? Any fluff how the warsmith got those sweet bodyguards?

Strata Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yes, all of the marines so far have been the plastics from the Prospero box, except for the obvious upgrade bits from forgeworld. I'll have some fluff up for the pair when i get them both built and showcased.

Strata Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 So it's been around a month since my last update, and i apologize for that. Things have been rather hectic for me lately, and for the most part by the time im able to get home from a day of maintaining aircraft, any desire or drive to do much of anything has up and vanished. I have, however muddled though alittle bit durring that time. Finished off 21-30 of the tactical marines, gotten a good foundation down on the deredaeo, and built up afew other goodies. Unfortunately for the next week or so i'll be out of state and in classes for work, so dont expect any quick updates.

Strata Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 It has been far, far too long since my last update. For this, i apologize. I've been in abit of a funk when it comes to doing any work for myself, the desire has been there, but the actual motivation to get everything up and ready.. well.. that.. not so much. I do how ever have some heavy metal to show off to placate the masses. They aren't quite finished yet, but close. Oh so close. Enjoy.
