I will post proper tomorrow. Kinda needed me time as the day progressed. Here are some pics of what I’ve worked on.also thanks for the Insecticon feedback. Not sure if I should do my entire burgle warband that way or do a deception themed chaos marine army. Please comment
also I worked on adding to my goblin town Thread so please check that out
And tearing into Dark Imperium and Conquest, at least the Imprrial side. Have some vehicles for these guys kicking about too. The Minotaurs Chapter to be specific
@mage , ah yes Minotaurs. Lapdogs of the High Lords 😛
Looking pretty boss though dude, so nice one 🙂 And dig the use of the Insecticon scheme on your Plague Marines
@sundancer I’m with you on getting turned off GW – for me it was 5th edition that did me in. I think the first dedicated Grey Knights Codex was the last book I brought until the announcement of 8th ed, and the whole revamp of White Dwarf back to a monthly along with them starting up the Warhammer Community program. They might want your money but at least they use Duncan & Peachy to sell it to you 😀
@horati0nosebl0wer Good call on Conan the Barbarian (that soundtrack) and @limburger for not forgetting Conan the Destroyer or Red Sonja. Between the them probably the closest to getting Frazetta on the big screen. Krull remains a fantastic romp, and it’s so bizarre seeing some of the supporting players who went on to much bigger things (whilst Ken Marshall probably gets most remembered as Eddington on Deep Space Nine). Any of you guys seen the film version of Howard’s other barbarian warlord Kull? It’s one I keep meaning to watch but never get around to….
And yeah, Shadowspear is making me look at my MP-01 Convoy figure and thinking if I could flip it for at least the £80-odd most non-GW retailers should have it going for. They will make a perfect recon element for my re-booted Raptors, and it’s wierdly appropos that before the full reveal I’d one an auction for a FW Legion Vigilator:
….who is going to be PERFECT for Raptors Chapter Master Lias Issodon – No Invulnerable save, but has 2+ armour with an additional 2+ when in cover, so you need at least a -3 to push him out of 2+’s. He adds +1 to all Move, Charge, Fallback & Advance moves of Friendly Raptors Infantry within 6″, including himself, and he starts with a move of 7″. Oh, and he is always able to shoot if he falls back out of combat. He can put himself and up to 3 Raptors infantry (not including Terminators, Centurions or Primaris units) into Ambush, where they can appear at the end of a move phase anywhere on the table outside of 9″ of enemy units – combo that with the Vanguard’s Phobos Armour infiltration ability and you could easily have your whole army outside your deployment zone. And his custom bolter – Malice – is just the nuts: 30″ range, Assault 3, S5 AP-4 Damage D3 and ignores the bonuses for cover saves.
My old Raptors army had 2 Devastator squads, one with 4 Lascannons and the other with 4 Heavy Bolters. I sense that this could potentially lose me friends, especially if I add in combi-weapons and account for Bolter Drill….
My hobby time from yesterday consisted of nearly finishing the Dark Angels: transfers are almost all done, just need to do the bases on most of them, and matt varnish them.
I ran out of small 2’s and the large 2’s were too large for the Tactical markings I had mostly used. You can see the size difference above. On the missile launcher Marine, I hand painted the 2 on.
These two have studied left pauldrons, so the right has to have the Chapter Insignia as well as Squad and Designation.
I’m kinda proud of this one too:
The tactical marking is half of a transfer, I then use that as a guide to paint over to strengthen the colour, as the Dark Angel green dulls down the red of the tactical arrow marking.
The Sergeant isn’t done, as I’d put a transfer on to his pauldron then decided after it was well and truly dry that it was in the wrong place. I’ve since removed it, so I can put his squad number there, and the other mark will go into his forearm.
The other thing was supposed to be DnD but one of our players couldn’t make it, so other plans were made…
