Sentinel done. Once I'd decided on a paint scheme- camouflage made up of the two least used spraycans I had, who could guess?- it was pretty nice and quick.

It was fun remembering about weathering techniques, and then bollocksing them up and going back over them. Eventually I got a result I was happy with.

I'm pretty happy with how the vehicle paint scheme sits alongside the infantry too- it never looks right when vehicles are the exact same colour as clothing to me.

Time to think of another pledge, I suppose.52185595_20230116(5).thumb.JPG.8c7e0b3600196de87cac970afb126f55.JPG372695669_20230116(10).thumb.JPG.47da8c0d81f09269ed7353d741de5506.JPG1100323803_20230116(3).thumb.JPG.be93ff72b2a39132a41bda33fca78c70.JPG

wow, forgot to update this for a while.

 

I've gotten the 20 guardsmen painted, they just need their bases done.

I was a bit surprised with how fast I can knock these out with speedpaints, but hey I wont complain.

 

Bit of a fun thing I settled on for this force, I liked the idea of the squad Vox casters being themed with the rest of the army. Thankfully i was able to find some bugler arms from Victoria miniatures.

I'm also planning on the master Vox in the command squad being a drummer.

Is it a bit cheesy? yes, but I'm having fun with it anyways.

 

As for the rest of the force I've got most of the command squad finished (but I forgot to take pictures), and I'm well on my well to getting the rough riders painted up. They are about 40% finished as I type this but I've only got a pic of them built right now. I'm not sure how I'll paint up the horses, I'd like to keep using the speedpaints but I don't know if that will work as well on the mounts.

You may notice one of those riders is not like the others, that's because originally I ordered the rough rider set from Victoria Miniatures. when I got the order it turned out that all but one set of the rider bits were horribly miscast. I was lucky that I already had a backup ready from when I was picking out what bits I was going to use. Mad Robot Miniatures came through with a really nice set of rider bits that work perfectly. they even came with the brass rods for the lances.

 

Will I be able to finish my whole pledge before the deadline? I have no idea

Great work everyone! :yes:

 

Remember only a couple of weeks left to get those vows done! :thumbsup:

Good point.

In that case I also pledge these 6 troopers that I've built over the last week or so, for the emperor and so on and so forth. Still waiting on stuff -the right scale this time- for the mortar teams, so it's time for more ordinary grunts. These'll fill out the command HQ and flesh out another infantry section.

Great work guys! Can’t believe the speed and quality of work coming from the barracks.

 

Just realised I hadn’t uploaded the before pic for my HWTs. 
 

Here’s the pics for them and the first completion:

Jud- that lascannon team is stunning. Great work.

Hiroitchi- You're a machine. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't believe it.

My silver has dried up and Im down to a dribble of Steel Legion drab, I dont think Im gonna be able to finish, I dont get cash next till after the comp ends. At least I have more units basecoated than I did last week so still a minor victory in my eyes. 

 

Everybody else's stuff is looking great though. Good job guys.
