Dos' B&C Legio army project

[Dosjetka]

After a month-long hobby hiatus, I'm ready to resume work on the project I started during March 2017. A few of the Europe-based B&C staff members, both active and retired, are getting together at Warhammer World later this year for a weekend of gaming and getting to know each other. As usual, I was trying to figure out how in the name of Terra I was going to be able to play games without an army. After brainstorming a few ideas, I settled with the following project: collect, build, and fully paint a 500-point force of Legio B&C Astartes, each one representing a member of the B&C staff, using the rules from Codex: Deathwatch.

A few days later, I had the following done:

HQ:

Librarian [100 pts]

w/ Mastery Level 2, auspex

Troops:

Veteran Squad #1 [160 pts]

WarriorFish [Watch Sergeant] (Legio Venator)

w/ combi-plasma, melta bombs

Captain Idaho [Veteran] (Ultramarines)

w/ boltgun

Aquilanus [Veteran] (Rainbow Warriors)

w/ boltgun

Olis [Veteran] (Conflagrators)

w/ Volkite caliver [count-as plasma gun]

Dosjetka [Veteran] (Imperial Fists)

w/ frag cannon

Veteran Squad #2 [160 pts]

Isiah [Watch Sergeant] (Dark Angels)

w/ combi-plasma, melta bombs

Brother Casman [Veteran] (Blood Ravens)

w/ boltgun

Excessus [Veteran] ("Blank")

w/ boltgun

Gillyfish [Veteran] (Dark Angels)

w/ plasma gun

Dam13n [Veteran] ("Blank")

w/ frag cannon

Fast Attack:

Vanguard Veterans [70 pts]

Jolemai [Vanguard Veteran] (Blood Angels)

w/ power weapon, melta bombs

Marshal Mattias [Vanguard Veteran] (Black Templars)

w/ power weapon, melta bombs, storm shield

Total: 500 pts

I also made an Excel sheet, using the same format as @spafe shared here, to help me have good oversight over the project and its progress.

In the short time I had before my hiatus, I managed to fully paint one model, @Captain Idaho, and almost finish another, @WarriorFish. You can see the results of my work below (more pictures in the "hidden" tabs):

The next model to paint is @Olis:

I was planning on sharing these with the wider B&C after I had painted a whole squad but... well, you know how it goes.

Anyway, thank you for looking and I'll be back soon-ish with more!

They're awesome haha! Love that Olis has a Volkite too. How have you done the black?

[Olis]

They're awesome haha! Love that Olis has a Volkite too. 

 

I wouldn't have it any other way. :D

 

Looking good, Dos. Can't wait to see myself painted. :tu:

[GrandMagnus]

This is an awesome idea for a thread. I'll be looking forward to seeing more :D

Magnificent!

You know I will be watching.

If you ever decide to add a Chaplain... *ahem*

[Charlo]

I wish I was a mod.... Just for the model :P

[Brother Argent]

Looks promising Dos. Now, will you finish it is the next question?
