Dosjetka Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Brother and sisters, apologies for my absence these past few days. Real life is relentless in its beating and unfortunately I have had to deal with other matters which take precedence over keeping an eye on the B&C and this event. I have however found a bit of free time this morning so I'll make sure I update the participants list (we already have a couple of completions from what I have seen!). In any case, it's great to see people motivated to participate in this! Keep up the good work! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331495-reinforcement-rush-march-17-now-live/page/3/#findComment-4677972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 + List updated to this point. + Great work so far from everyone who's posted their in progress pictures. We even have a couple of completions: congratulations to both Pr3Mu5 and Wulox!

phoenix01 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Here's a shot of my in progress Vanguard Vets. This is Cohors Primo Velites Posterior VIII Squad Densus. It is the fraternal twin to Velites Prior VII Squad Sempronius, who are together known as "Loyalty and Honour".

Sugarlessllama Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I am loving the awesome models I am seeing! I hope to have some completed models to contribute soon. I was away at New Employee Orientation all this week, so no painting. However, I on the home stretch! Woot!

ShVagYeR Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I vow to enlist the aid of Primarch Roboute Guilliman and Lord Marneus Calgar, as well as reinforce the Vth Tactical Squad with 2 Battle-Brothers and the VIIth Assault Squad with one Battle-Brother until the end of March. If I fail in my vow, I will bear the badge of shame until midsummer.

Thunder_god Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am jealous! I can't get my Guiliman model till I get back from Atlanta tomorrow! How'd it go together?

ShVagYeR Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It wasn't very hard to put together, but there were some surprisingly small parts, especially in the backpack area which reminded me of assembling 1/35 WW2 panzer models, like small pipes and such. The sculpt is incredibly detailed at the cost of not really being able to change his pose unless you're very confident. I decided to tackle the part that's easiest to mess up first, so the helmetless head is done and the base is halfway through. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331495-reinforcement-rush-march-17-now-live/page/3/#findComment-4680352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian quacker Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 next update Interior is done except for the lightning eagle. 2nd layer of blue and wash done on outside and sponsons are removeable so all the work on the interior wasn't wasted.

I decided to tackle the part that's easiest to mess up first, so the helmetless head is done and the base is halfway through. Very nice. Shows that the head can actually turn out alright despite GWs pictures. I picked my Primarch up today and after a 3500 pt game where Calgar wrought carnage against the enemies of reason (the crazed heathens of the Blood Angels Death Co) I read the Rise of the Primarch book back to front. Tomorrow begins work on his resurrection. He will be my next vow to be completed amongst my current dedication. Keep it up Brothers. Courage and Honour!

Thunder_god Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Excellent! I picked mine up today,and I'll begin working on him tomorrow. Too tired tonight after 12 hrs on the road. It's an awesome looking miniature. Beautifully detailed. I've been thinking of painting him using the method Duncan uses to paint his Thousand Sons: paint him overall gold then block in the Kantor Blue for the armor (I using the darker blue). That might be my ticket. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331495-reinforcement-rush-march-17-now-live/page/3/#findComment-4681037 Share on other sites More sharing options...

abadizzle Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sorry for the double post but wow... Ill be straight ka-jiggered if Guilliman isn't THE most impressive miniature I've ever seen... Wow. Pics don't do the sprues justice. Wow. Really looking forward to clipping and cleaning the big man tomorrow after work. Wow. (Sorry if off-topic... All self-respecting 'sons of Guilliman' need to go get... Well... Guilliman) wow factor of 30 bazamillions.

Thunder_god Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I was just working on my Primarch model, and the feed belt for the heavy bolter is not in my kit! I've scoured my work desk, vacuumed and sifted the canister-all to no avail. I admit as exhausted as I have been, I don't check all the frames when I started. I simply stared on step 1 and went from there. Do you think GW customer service could be if any help?

abadizzle Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I have my doubts about customer service, TG. I'll compare the bolter-feed to all of my available bitz and shoot you a PM- if something CAN work, we'll make it work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331495-reinforcement-rush-march-17-now-live/page/3/#findComment-4681173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'd give customer service a shot anyway. The worst that can happen is they say "sorry, no" but there's a fair chance they'll be able to do something about it.

ShVagYeR Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you Brothers. Abadizzle, I totally agree -- this is the most detailed miniature I've touched with a brush so far. The base is finished and varnished, now working on the legs and torso. Sub-assemblies are definitely the way to go with this model. The ammo feed is part number 38, top-right corner of the sprue with the base. Are you sure it's not there?

Thunder_god Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yup. It's not there. Even went online to look st the frames to make sure. Oh well.

Thunder_god Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It's a towering miniature, even over my taller marines! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/E76A3E96-B9AF-4DE6-9FD3-6C1A4751EEAB_zpskylcng6d.jpg And here's my part 38 frame: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/2C5CA8CA-C262-4701-88BD-90A466191585_zpsueeeq1qe.jpg I saw that lad night like I said, and had a panic attack.

Grotsmasha Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 So, I'm looking to jump in with Guilliman, but I may have got a little excited.....I've sprayed him with Retributor Armour and hit him with Riekland Fleshshade, any chance he's still eligable or have I gone too far?

ShVagYeR Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thunder_god maybe you could get ahold of the devastator heavy bolter and somehow modify its ammo feed? It's not identical but maybe would do the trick? Grotsmasha it's totally alright, now I would recommend a drybrush of Auric Armour Gold and another one of Runefang Steel. The downside is then you have to take a small brush and do all the blue armour inbetween those embellishments. I sprayed the model with Macragge Blue, but still had to do that cleanup after drybrushing golds. Ok I think I'm about halfway through. Now it's time for the backpack.

Pr3Mu5 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Brothers, forgive me for the slow progress since my latest vow, I have been sent away for work until the end of next week so I have limited time at weekends (I have considered locking myself away from the children for both full days) and the fact that I had arranged a rather large game yesterday. That being said some progress has been made and Veteran Sergeant Ulixes of the First Company is ready for duty and is awaiting the rest of his squad. Those of you completing Guilliman I am proud of you. The Primarch awaits my attention once my current vow is complete. to all... Courage and Honour!

I'll continue non the less, I'd just like it to be eligible.
