firestorm40k Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Quick update - the Desolation Squads are mostly done - all assembled, just a couple of details to do and touch ups, then they're finished. We're away this week so those will have to wait till after! I only got them fully assembled last night - I used them in a game the previous week without heads, backpacks or Super Krak launchers on In other Ashen Sentinels related news, the Crusade Campaign I've been using them in has come to an end - you can read about that over at my blog Brother Captain Vakarian, Firedrake Cordova, Dr_Ruminahui and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6103923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Oh man, I don't have anything new or original to say - I love these. These group shots are absolutely cool. I think that you've also did the right thing regarding the Apothecary - red tabards work very, very well despite being "impractical" (i.e. human blood is also red so in terms of practicality, I've always thought that a white tabard would work better on de-facto medics) and the one that you've started painting is looking excellent so far. firestorm40k, Brother Carpenter, Firedrake Cordova and 2 others 1 3 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6104617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if that's interesting/helpful or not firestorm40k and gaurdian31 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6104702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Been a while since I posted - not that I haven't been painting, but prep for a big campaign finale team game has been taking a lot of my time - making an finishing a bunch of terrain. Along side this, I've been chipping away at the Repulsor and Redemptor. I'd hoped to get them as near done as possible before the game - I managed to get them so I was able to build sub-assemblies. Unfortunately, however, the Warp anomaly in my hobby area has struck again So after applying washes, the armour plates in front of the Sarcophagus got stuck in place; I managed to get the top half up again, but the bottom half is well and truly stuck, so the bottom armour plate came off: I put this part with the sub-assemblies on my painting desk. I carried on, finishing metallics, applying decals, and adding chipping. A couple of days later, last Friday to be precise, I went to put the Dread together - could I find that armour plate, for the last few days had sat where I'd put it, with the other sub assemblies? Like hell I could So last couple of evenings have been spent literally pulling out everything from my painting area - clearing the desk, the paint racks (and checking behind those), checking the shelves sat on the desk, pulling everything out from underneath and behind the desk... ...but no sign of the cursed armour piece..! So I've had to bite the bullet and order a replacement part - I've only been able to find it for sale as part of the whole torso, so I've got part of a Redemptor kit that I don't actually need..! Anyhoo I'll press on with getting these done over the next couple of weeks - that will complete my Crusade army (two months after it finished ). But that's not all for this army - I've got Jump Pack Assault Intercessors next on my agenda for the Ashen Sentinels Dr_Ruminahui, Rusted Boltgun, Brother Captain Vakarian and 4 others 1 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6109840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaurdian31 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I missed the last couple of updates but everything is looking great! Sorry to hear about losing that dreadnought piece, I can unfortunately almost guarantee it will show back up once the replacement arrives. That's what happened when I misplaced a whole model (Khârn), once the replacement showed up I found the box with him in it. As for the rest of the unneeded torso you could use it as a bit of terrain or an objective marker. firestorm40k and Brother Carpenter 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6109843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just know that is exactly what is going to happen The rest of the torso will likely be used in some terrain, or on the base of another model, like you suggest gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6109847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Boltgun Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 May I suggest you take a look in any bags you had on your work area. I pulled a part-built Impulsor out of the loft at lunch time and found two sprues of Kill Team scatter terrain in the bag that I thought I had lost. That Repulsor is looking mean and all credit to you for running a campaign. I'm going to head back over to the blog to read it again. firestorm40k and gaurdian31 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379491-ashen-sentinels-my-primaris-space-marine-army/page/9/#findComment-6109855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, I have done that - I had a couple of bags that had the Repulsor sub assemblies in (grav plates, hatches, defensive turrets), but it didn't end up in there. I also went through all the other bags of random bits adjacent to my hobby area (though I honestly can't think why it'd have ended up with those ) - nothing there either 5 hours ago, Rusted Boltgun said: That Repulsor is looking mean and all credit to you for running a campaign.
