Beautiful Baz

[The Pounder]

Great work Baz!

[WarriorFish]

Good stuff comrades! I have been away due to the malign influence of Nurgle, but the foolish dark gods have yet to learn that His Hammer can not be stopped and will always prevail in the end! I hope to get to work this week or next for my own additions, keep the progress updates coming

[The Pounder]

Finished my Vow!

 

Death Korps of Krieg Deathriders Squadron

 

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s progress/completions!

[commissar_roach]

Finally got some time to get more work done on this mortar section. I really wanted to make more complex bases, so i'm trying out something new to make them look like they are in mortar pits.

Excellent Jud! Those look great a fitting fledge and completion! Will update shortly :tu:

 

Roach those mortar teams are looking extremely promising. Can't wait to see all the boarding painted up :yes:

 

Just over 3 weeks left troopers!

Just over 3 weeks left troopers!

PSSH...3 weeks left I'm calling them done....

(I'll post better pictures tomorrow)

[commissar_roach]

Almost there....

[duz_]

Great work war!
Although be careful some of us will need all those 3 weeks :mad:

 

Not going to lie roach, those planks and basing came out even better than I expected! Definitely an effort to be pleased about :yes:

 

 

 

Completions updated, let me know if I've missed anyone so far.

[Slave to Darkness]

Almost there....

They are looking good :tu: 

 

Your force is coming together nicely.

[WAR]

Better picture

[GreenScorpion]

It is nice to see the amount of activity this challenge has brought to the sub-forum :)

Really like how the miniatures in the thread ended up once finished.

[WarriorFish]

Excellent work here it's great to see, but the commissariat expects no less from the barracks Unfortunately I am somewhat indisposed rooting out the remnants of Nurgle's forces but be assured that as soon as the forces of chaos are defeated once and for all I will make haste to the battle field here to finish my duty. Onwards to glory comrades, no life lost in His service was lost in vain!

[duz_]

Some minor progress for me (so minor not pic worthy :lol: )

Finally straightened the commissars power sword.... ( :huh: )

 

And it's possibly warm enough to prime outside a balmy 10C so that should help expedite things since I won't need to airbrush prime

whelp I normally don't do a lot of hobbying during the week but I really wanted to finish these guys up.

so, just to make the bases feel a bit more "lived in" I went ahead and printed off some imperial posters and medical documents to scatter on the bases.

 

 

once that was done i went ahead and finished up the build.

so without delaying it any longer here is the finished entry
 

[WAR]

Love it, Commissar_Roach!

[duz_]

Great work roach! Excellent details definitely worth showing off at your next local painting comp :tu:

[MedicMike0708]

Really fantastic photos and work done by all.

 

I’ll be providing a text only update tonight, I’ve had some chances to work from home and take “frequent hobby breaks” without any ill effect on my workload.

 

I’ve got 6 of my lancers finished, and their mounts are at about 80%. I wanted very much to make these a “legend legal” force, so I’ve ordered the correct sized oval bases, they were lost in the vagueries of the warp, fortunately Canada post adepts finally found the parcel and it appears to be moving again. I also wanted to ensure wysiwyg so I ordered some holstered pistols from France as they have a bits ordering service that was fast and efficient and Mordians don’t have pistol holsters modeled. That just left the swords for 2 of my pistol wielding riders. I love the sheathed and scabbard swords on the deathriders, but that’s beyond my skill to replicate, so I’m going to strap it to their backs, the look is actually better than I had hoped.

 

I suspect I will finish the bulk of the actual painting over the next couple of days, then when/if the bases arrive it will be a sprint to the finish to base them up properly. I have lots of spare chaos bits to grind beneath their thundering hooves.

[Sviar]

My wow is done. Except for th Valhallan blizzard spilling over the thoughtout none snowy areas on the base, they tuned out well.

[WarriorFish]

Great work on some classic models Sviar, you captured the theme with the colours and bases :tu:

[The Pounder]

Great work guys!

 

Commissar Roach, nicely done! Turned out well.

 

War009, they look menacing!

 

Sviar, great basing, you can’t beat a Guardsman in a greatcoat!

[duz_]

Awesome work Sviar! Valhallans have a special place for me as I almost picked them as my regiment back in 3rd. I hope to see more outside this challenge :tu:

 

Made some progress balmy 15C today between snow storms so finally managed to get the rattle can out and prime my commissar!

Next stop painting!

Wow Todays high is predicted to be 77 F/ 25C and a low of 51 F/ 10 C........but we are only a few weeks away from the 100+ temps

[WarriorFish]

Where there is a will there's a way - and the Guard always have a will ;)

 

I have been making slow progress here and there but all progress counts, and it's enough for me to be confident of success before the deadline :) Not that the commissariat understands any other concept of course :P Don't forget update pictures, I'll see about getting one up soon :tu:
