greatcrusade08 Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 i find conscripts amazing if boosted with orders, that means whiteshields and creed for double skills. FRFSRF and take aim on cadian whiteshields is amazing!!! im currently working on a mixed arms list, 6 x 30 conscripts, 3 leman russes and a couple basilisks. should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Annoyingly I cant find where I put those fausts, I tidied up and cant remember where I stashed them. but I did just find a ton of German bits I got off ebay ages ago and found 3 being held with two arms, 3 left arms extended holding them, two right arms with them leaning on shoulder and three singles with no hands. Im sticking them in an envelope now so I dont loose them before I get them posted. greatcrusade08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 So its been a little while. My degree is keeping me busy, but im eagerly awaiting the new releases. As it happens i have two local very small tournaments coming up using the old codex. I am thinking of spamming conscripts as a swan song for them. i now have 8 units of 30 and another 120 infantry ontop. Whats everyones thoughts in a good conscript list, spam as many as possible in an infantry only list or mix in some tanks?

greatcrusade08 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 The new Cadia stands box has allowed me to revitalise my project. the new models are great, and i wanted to give contrast paints a go. Im very happy with them. Ive gone for a more "red-coat" british paint scheme and made a pledge to the painting challenge. Here is the first of my units completed Doghouse, The Pounder, Tallarn Commander and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallarn Commander Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 They look wonderful. Are you going to stick to the camo green for your regular troops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Fantastic work! I’m loving the striking red and black scheme. The head swap really adds to the models. Keep ‘em coming! greatcrusade08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im splitting my collection in half, all my old conscripts are staying camo green and being used for 30k, my 40kis being updated to new models. any older platoon sqauds will be repainted to match. just need to work out colour scheme for vehicles next Tallarn Commander 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought lengths of round plastic and cut it down to rivets, use plastic glue and tweezers.. what are thoughts on colour scheme for vehicles, do i stay with black/red?

MrKoolPants Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Man, those tanks are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see them painted! greatcrusade08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 My painting pledge is now complete, not sure if i will add another, may spend a couple days catching up on other stuff and see how i get on. I am very impressed by contrast paints and it is likely i can get a lot of painting done this year. Still unsure how to paint vehicles however. duz_, Tallarn Commander and 4CIN87 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I pledged a further 2 infantry units and 2 commissars as part of the painting challenge. I’ve nearly finished the infantry but wanted to start on the characters. This is my WIP commissar. I’m going to repaint the boots black, brown doesn’t work imo duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have finished my second pledge and added a group photo. really happy with the speed/quality ratio of these Slave to Darkness, SvenIronhand, MrKoolPants and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Looking good!!! That red... Ooohh that red. As for the vehicles, red and black would look good but everyone uses that for Inquisitional troops, you could try black and red instead? Joking aside, Im clean out of ideas for tanks. Your troops are mostly red so flip that for the vehicles, good old standard issue grey with a red spot colour maybe? . greatcrusade08 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 I painted up an older unit to see if the scheme works, theres definately a difference in detail, but im reasonably happy 4CIN87, The Pounder, MrKoolPants and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
