Epic Brother!

[Prot]

I love this grot... I really do.  You have quite a history here with the DA. I'm struggling to commit

 

Truthfully I sold my DA army. I was so frustrated with the codex. I still love the legion, and it's great to see you put so much into them now. I restarted them myself but kind of fizzled. I'll be checking in on this, and my add my own DA to the list. Love seeing this. Good luck!

I've made a start on my Call to Arms vow, I've completed 5 Terminators, 4 Teleport homers, and made a start on a bunch of other things too,

the WIPs,

 

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Brilliant start Brother!!!

You do the Lion proud as usual. 

[Grotsmasha]

So how did my Call to Arms go? Poorly. I picked up a commission, that I dragged on instead of speeding through, and failed the Call to Arms, but I did get a decent bit of work done still,

 

 

 

 

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Well done Brother!

Acolades mean nothing, effort is everything. 

And noice minis too!

[Grotsmasha]

Got a LI Praetor and Corswain painted,

 

[Raziel-TX]

Awesome work!

[Grotsmasha]

Continuing on with a LI Contemptor,

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Lovin' it!.

 

I'm going to join you soon, just finishing up my last two LI Warhounds then it's on to the rest of my smol DA too... yay team!

 

Have you got a whole army, or just dabbling atm?

[Grotsmasha]

I have the infantry box and a Kratos box, for now it's dabbling, I like the idea of them on my shelf.

Next on the wishlist is a T-Hawk...

[Interrogator Stobz]

I have far too many... or not enough...  never can tell these days.

 

Next week I'll start on either my Drop Pod Assault or my Aerial Assault Formations, not 100% sure which yet. Each has three THawks, so winning either way.

 

Looking forward to seeing your crack habit forcing you to get and paint more!

Another YouTube inspired project. 

 

The basic premise is: What If,( ala the companions, returned/forgiven DA) the Lion opened up some of the DAoT weapons the DA used during the Heresy to returned Legionaries? The ones who know how to operate them first hand?

 

So, the order of the day, Eradicators.  Here's where I'm at,

 

 

As you can see, I need a third weapon. The middle weapon will be painted as a purple energy-type weapon. The RHS, green irradiated bolt rounds. The the LHS with the wrist Auspex, I'm coming up short. 

 

Any ideas for a weapon type or design type?

Plasma burner? Phosphex launcher? Big choom gun?

Ended up settling on a Thallax Plasma-Fusil, seemed appropriate as The Lion carried a pistol version.

[Grotsmasha]

Continuing on with LI, an Apothecary for Corswain,

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Smol dudes are cool!!!

 

...but tricky to paint. Well done Brother.
