Relics of the Armoury Painting Event

[GuardDaddy]

Rough Rider colour test - aim to knock off other 4 tomorrow. Then that's a pledge done

 

 

[WarriorFish]

Good to see more models added, and progress made keep it up comrades :tu:

[lionofjudah]

Update- all relics now basecoated with dunklegrau shine.

Also been working on getting these boys ready to travel-

[Arkaniss]

Ooh, two posts for twice the likes. Cunning! I'm looking forward to seeing that parking lot painted up :tu:

[WarriorFish]

Not any more ;) I don't think we'll have long to wait, wish I could say the same about my vow :P

[robofish7591]

I clearly need to turn myself over to the commissar... these new chaos models have been far too distracting!  My plan is to get my vow finished up this week since I have a few days in between quitting my old job and starting my new one.  I'm pretty close, so I think I can pull it off... at least as long as I stay strong and don't get distracted by my shiny new night lords!

[Wassa]

Yeah I may have been a bit optimistic with mine.

 

I’m losing a few weekends too as apparently doing Warhammer on her Birthday, Easter, and our Anniversary weekends is frowned upon!

[sairence]

Hehe. It's hard to keep on top of stuff. :p

 

I should be making some more progress this week and next, will be doing some work on the support for the wings and buy some extra paints next week.

[WarriorFish]

Fear not, still plenty of time yet - if not there's enough bolts in the pistol ;)

I had a thought today that could use some feedback before I start priming. I plan on using these veterans in a mixed Cadian and Tempests force with the Droptroop special detachment. Would it be worth giving them a heavy flamer in addition to the plasma and running them in a valkyrie rather than sitting back with the rest of the gun line?

[WarriorFish]

Depends on what you need. If you're planning on going all in with the forward assault then an extra push for that would help. Alternatively someone to hang back a bit for support is also useful, so it may be a decision from what else your army is made from :)

If they're in flamer range I don't think they'll last very long! For Catachans who can follow up with combat yes, for Cadians I'd rather stay back a bit!

 

Cadian Veterans actually make great objective campers, BS3+ and allowing them to have several special weapons and a heavy weapons team means they can still put out a lot of damage when given Take Aim.

I completely forgot to post the finished stormlord.

 

 

Her first bout has been scheduled for the 20th, doing a stronghold assault mission versus a combined BA and IF force and I'm one of the attackers.

[WarriorFish]

Nicely done, I'm sure the dice gods will look favourably upon your efforts - good luck :tu:

Metal and track base coats laid down

I'm really happy I asked because I have the terrible habit of forgetting that infantry and veteran squads can take heavy weapons. I organize my process on kits and because the heavy weapon teams are completely separate they slip from my mind. I'm going to build a lascannon for the veterans.

[GuardDaddy]

Vow complete - rough riders

 

 

 

 

 

[Wassa]

Camo in progress!

 

[ScionOfCorlesia]

Calling my Valkyrie vow complete!

Took the opportunity to show off an army-wide photo.

Now, what to make my next vow..

[WarriorFish]

Nicely done, and bonus army shot to boot! We're getting some decent progress now as we enter the latter half of the event; let's keep the updates coming

[Wassa]

Before:

 

After:

Does anyone want a guide for these by the way? I’ve got so many more to do!

Edited April 14, 2019 by Wassa

[jaxom]

I do! It looks great. I'm guessing it involves removing the masking tape in layers for each step?

[Arkaniss]

That is some spectacular camo Wassa! Nice work! I imagine quite a few people are gonna want to know more about how you did it :tu:

[Wassa]

Spray it one colour, add masking/stencils, repeat a few times, then peel it all off (the fun bit).

 

The masking prevents the next layer of paint from reaching the model and when peeled off it leaves the outline of the mask.
