The shield was an afterthought tbh. I wanted it black but then figured a marbled look would be a bit less bland seeing as the armour is all black. Never painted marble before so I just looked at some images and used as manage shades of grey as I had to try and mimic it. I think it looks ok for a first attempt but would like to try it out again sometime.

Rusted Boltgun Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 That shield does look smart. I'm particularly enamoured of his ribs - I'll borrow that idea and put a slight twist on it for my version of the model, if I may! jimbo1701 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369161-jimbos-plog-armies-of-all-shapes-and-sizes/page/11/#findComment-6092643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just filled them in white, put the red contrast (blood angels or Baal red I think) in the recesses then tidied up the black after.

ZeroWolf Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 That shield looks really well done, good job. It looks great even considering it's a first attempt.

Firedrake Cordova Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 He came out very nicely, and the magnetising works great by the looks of it. As for the pile of shame ... put it in the hands of the Emperor and randomise it with dice? jimbo1701 and ZeroWolf 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369161-jimbos-plog-armies-of-all-shapes-and-sizes/page/11/#findComment-6092705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1701 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Hi all. Not much assembly of late instead I’ve actually got a game lined up (!) my first in a fair while. I’ve grabbed my second codex of the edition in the form of aeldari, probably my favourite 40K army. I have an old alaitoc army which is complete but has a few things outstanding I want to finish for it. I’ve taken about half those things and built them into a list to incentivise me to paint them before the game in about 10 days time. I need to finish my viper and war walker as well as some weapon options for various vehicles, then touch up some characters and paint some aspect / shroud runner squads. I’ve already upgraded my shining spear (exodite proxy) exarch with a shuriken cannon and upgraded 2 windriders to join the third in mounting one. Great fun to get these guys out again and really looking forward to a game with them.

jimbo1701 Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 (edited) On track to get things done for next weeks game. Chipping away an hour a night is paying off. These chaps just need some varnish now. Update.

jimbo1701 Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Painting right up to the 11th hour had a great game today and won 70:48. Have tried to take some reasonable photos of the 2k army, some close ups of some of the new units added and the whole army in its boxes. Determined to get it finished before the end of the edition!

jimbo1701 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Hi all. Still here. Took a brief hiatus from painting but have been putting a few Krieg bits together. Put these guys on the painting desk for now. Emperors children test models, the accursed drop pod (trying to get painted for a game in 2 weeks) and alaitoc / exodites bright stallion knight. Need to work out how to magnetise the arms, thinking square magnets might be an option to keep the arms in place.

I recommend grabbing some brass rod and adding a pin above the magnet. The magnet will provide the hold and the pin will prevent rotation. First fit your magnets, and then once they're set, drill the hole for the pin against the magnet, this will make the alignment a snap. jimbo1701 and Firedrake Cordova 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369161-jimbos-plog-armies-of-all-shapes-and-sizes/page/11/#findComment-6100163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusted Boltgun Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The noise marine looks fab but the red on the drop pod looks really good! I've got one part-assembled so feel your pain.

jimbo1701 Posted Thursday at 08:32 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 08:32 PM Almost there! Just need to highlight around the chipping now and I think she’s ready to spray. Do t know if I’ve done a decent job with the weathering but went a bit more than I normally would as these things have dropped from orbit so shouldn’t look factory fresh. Annoyingly much of the detail won’t even be seen in game as it’s on the outer doors.

jimbo1701 Posted Friday at 10:13 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 10:13 PM The boys will get their first outing of 2025 tomorrow. Wish me luck! Finally finished the dreaded drop pod (in time for GW to update them according to Valrak) so fingers crossed can move onto painting a more exciting unit soon.
