Batface the Hat Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I've just spent the last 2 hours pouring over this thread from start to finish and looking at your models. I gotta tell you, you're amazing. Good luck at Adepticon, and I hope our armies will get a chance to cross combat blades while we're there. :wallbash: -the Hat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/14/#findComment-1537675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Renn Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Great looking army, Koyote. Good luck at Adepticon. One question: While looking at your army, I noticed that there are no power weapons/ power fists on your vet. sgts for the tactical squads. Why is that? I would think you would want one of those weapons to help with kills in close combat. Just wondering. Renn EDIT: One more thing. The links that you provided earlier in this massive post in regards to your painting techniques and how you paint your red are broken. Could you give a quick tutorial on the red? Thanks.

Koyote Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 One question: While looking at your army, I noticed that there are no power weapons/ power fists on your vet. sgts for the tactical squads. Why is that? I would think you would want one of those weapons to help with kills in close combat. The simple truth is that in this list, I feel that the points are better spent elsewhere. My list for the Adepticon Championships Tournament: 1850 points Lemartes = 125 pts Death Company x10 w/jumps = 200 pts Vet assault x8, pf, meltagun = 260 pts Vet assault x8, pf, meltagun = 260 pts Tac squad x10, lascannon, plasma gun = 225 pts Razorback = 50 pts Tac squad x10, lascannon, plasma gun = 225 pts Razorback = 50 pts Dev squad x10, missile launcher x4 = 270 pts Whirlwind = 85 pts Attack Bike, mm = 50 pts Attack Bike, mm = 50 pts 57 marines, 3 vehicles and 2 bikes 9 to 12 scoring units One more thing. The links that you provided earlier in this massive post in regards to your painting techniques and how you paint your red are broken. Could you give a quick tutorial on the red? Thanks. The basic recipe is: - White primer undercoat - Two coats of Blood Red. Mix it with water to thin down the coats. This will give you a smoother finish. I almost never paint right out of the pot. - Two coats of red ink. Don't let it pool too much on the flat surfaces or it will create dark red circles. - One coat of a mixture of brown and red ink. Use a 1 to 3 mixture (brown/red). Water it down some: 50/50. Again, make sure it doesn't pool too much on the flat surfaces. Let the first coat dry completely before applying the second. If the armor still isn't dark enough, apply a second coat. - The finished product will be very shiney so a coat of dull matte coat is required.

Brother Renn Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for the recipe, and good luck at the tournament. There are a couple of guys from around where I live that are going as well. Wish I had a completed army so that I could at least consider going to events like these.

Seva Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 First off, those bloods are some of the finest I've seen ever. Love the cartoon-like painting style. Your attention to detail is great. This was a joy to look at. Good work man! B. Damn you for painting them so well I am late for a meeting and I blame you. Thirdly, all kidding aside those are some great models, clean painting and good posing. Was wondering have you ever tried a red primer? I like the recipe for red that you have seems simple enough. Do you highlight the red at all? Once again great work man!

Nope, no highlighting on the red. My receipe creates a pretty good effect with minimum effort.

Koyote Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 The objective counters for team 'Blood Angel Blues' are finished. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/counters.jpg As some of you may know, the theme for our 'Blood Angels' Adepticon Team Tournament team is our lamentation over the current state of our codex. The counters are all symbolic. The dead Bezerker symbolizes the loss of furious charge. The sword and book symbolizes the loss of useful psychic powers like FoD and FotA and the addition of the ridiculous Wings of Sanguinus psychic power (e.g. Other librarians can use their jump packs to get into combat AND use their force weapons. Blood Angels librarians no longer have this luxory.) The dead Sanguinary High Priest symbolizes the loss of a unique IC that made the Blood Angels more than just space marines in red power armor. Also you may notice that the Sanguinary High Priest holds in his dead hand our beloved grail. For many players, Blood Angel Scouts were once a favorite choice -heroes in carapace armor! As a Troop pick with both furious charge and infilitrate they were truly a terror on the battlefield. In the current codex Blood Angel Scouts have been relegated to guarding the carrying case or display case where they wait, forever unused. But heck, what are we whining about? Our Scouts now have strength 4 shotguns. ;) The Scout represents the former glory of our Blood Angel Scouts and the teleport homer he stands besides represents a useful piece of wargear that was omitted from the current Blood Angel codex. Which if you ask me is very ironic. Now that we can field Terminators without fearing any pre-game losses to the Death Company, we have lost the means of guiding them safely onto the battlefield. The last objective counter is a jumble of lost wargear: a librarian's jump pack & iron halo, bionics, purity seals, an auspex, a familiar, and a flamer that was once standard equipment for all of my Assault squads. Now I must either run VAS to get a mobile flamer or make due with overpriced plasma pistols in my RAS. Thanks Jervis!

Koyote Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Task Force Armageddon has returned from Adepticon. Team Blood Angel Blues didn't do as well as I had hoped, but we had a great time nonetheless. It was good seeing OMG and Steel Armadillo again, and great to finally meet (and play against) Morticon in person. ...Even if Mort is a bit of a lightweight. :P http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/Adepticon7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/14/#findComment-1545077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escaflowne_Z Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 ...and here I always pictured Mort as a skinny Asian kid in a dorm room somewhere! That deserves a LOL @ me. Didn't know you'd turn out to be my twin brother...well, minus the hair. Oh, and all of the armies look great (props to OMG's marines, love that color scheme).
