Danny Cyanide does Imperial Guard - Elysians and DKOK

[Danny Cyanide]

A little more progress on the 2 at ease squad and the Marshalls tonight:

The squad in the right is complete, except for basing, the squad on the left and the Marshalls have been base coated, washed and the jackets have been highlighted.



This is the way I've decided to go with my squads, all will have the blue jackets, officer will have red detailing, and specialists will have their own schemes, Green for engineers and very dark grey for Grenadiers.

Here is a closer shot of the Marshalls, I'm really happy with how they are coming together!



All of their metal parts will be much brighter than the line troops, and their red accents will be brought up to match the red on the Commissars.

They're magnificent! I can't wait to see the end result...

[WarriorFish]

Marshals really come together with the paint on, good bit of work on them :tu:

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[Danny Cyanide]

Well it's been a while, I got a little busier at work, so my production has dropped a little.  I did find a new to me basing product that I'm absolutely in love with, Valhallan Blizzard!  This stuff is great!

 

Anyways, I finished up my Marshalls and the 2 at ease squads, and I upgraded everyone to have some snow on their bases, so here are some pictures!

Looks great! I envy the speed you can push out such good looking models at!

[Danny Cyanide]

Thanks duz_! It very helps to be able to paint at work when things are slow and up until the last 2 weeks, things have been slow.

 

On the Elysian front, I've reworked my list for the rule of 3, and then again with Codex points, and have been able to fit in 2 Valkyries, so once the Elysian rule are history, they will live on as an Air Cav force! I'll keep working then as Elysians as long as the index is current, but I've got a plan for the day it disappears!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[WarriorFish]

Great to see them all together, keep up the hard work :tu:

[Danny Cyanide]

Wow, it's been 7.5 months since I've done anything for my guard!

 

I'm going to have to rectify that really quickly here. I'm coming up on my 1 year mark of getting back into 40k, and I still haven't played a game. I blame this on the fact that I don't have a finished Army, so my goal that I'm setting is to get my DKOK Army finished to 1500 points in the next month, before I hit the Year mark on Feb 6.

 

I'll be posting updates soon!

Had a productive evening tonight. Malcador Infernus built and I only had to pull out half of my hair straightening it out!

Can your named character take master of command warlord trait? Named characters generally have a specific warlord trait that they must take. You may want to check that.

[Danny Cyanide]

I'll double check the Warlord trait next time I have the index in my hand, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a set trait.

 

In other news, the motor pool is growing today:

 

Motor pool grows

 

 

I've had to modify my list a little to compensate for the heavy bolters on the Malcador, and I found that I didn't actually have 2 battle cannon turrets, but one battle Canon and one Demolisher.

Edited January 6, 2019 by Danny Cyanide

[Harrowmaster]

Venner doesn't have a set trait as the Krieg list predates the codex.

[Danny Cyanide]

And here is the last update for today:

 

2 Hellhounds (with really had gaps between the plastic Hill and resin interior, filled with white mili-put) added to the motor pool:

 

 

I think I'll build some Grenadiers tomorrow! Painting will start next week as I forgot my airbrush at home and won't be able to get it until my days off on the 10th and 11th.

Lots of great assembly going on, but don't forget to paint too lest your pile get too big :P

Yeah, unfortunately I forgot my airbrush at home, so I can't Prime anything until I go on days off on the 10th! Is ok though, I'll hit the painting hard when I come back to work on the 12th!

[MrZakalwe]

On the flip side tanks are best done in batches IMO so you are building up to some serious efficiency!

[Danny Cyanide]

Well, my days off have been cancelled to an undetermined date, so I won't be picking up my airbrush any time soon. I might drive to the nearest town and pick up a cheap single action if I have time over the next few days though.

 

I did manage to get a little more building done today:

 

10 Grenadiers, Sgt with 2 hotshot Las pistols, 2 Plasma gunners:

 

 

And my first 5 Engineers with Krieg Shotguns:

 

[The Pounder]

This whole thread is gold.

I’ve been looking for a new project to start a bit later in the year, you’ve inspired me to pick up my lasgun and bayonet!

 

Quick question, did you make the crests on the heads of your officers? Or are they from a bitz store?

[Danny Cyanide]

I'm glad that you are enjoying the thread, and I'm honored I've inspired you to join the Emperor's Anvil!

 

My Warlord Marshall is a standard Forge World figure that comes in one of the command squad. The other 2 were command squad members that I added the crests to with white Mili-put.

[Danny Cyanide]

And we are back in business! Picked up a dirt cheap single action airbrush today, so I'm going to start painting tonight. It looks like a Chinese clone of aBadger 350, so should do my base coating just fine, and it only cost me $18!

 

[duz_]

/shudders at siphon airbrush...

 

Should do the job though!
