dirge caster Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hello everybody. I've had an idea! I want to get 17 gamers together, online, to re-create the chapters of the Badab War and I couldn't think of a better place than the Bolter and Chainsword to do it. Each person could choose a chapter from the war and I thought we would start off by building a 5 man squad and posting our progress on this forum. Let me know which chapter you want as the first person to request a chapter, on this post, will be the only person who can use that chapter. Perhaps we could all go on to create a character or a vehicle in round 2. Personally, I would like to make some raptors after recently reading Deliverance Lost. I like their colours, I've got a load of MK 6 helmets I can use and I want to try to add some convincing corrosive damage. I want to give some of the new citadel paints a try and I may even try airbrushing the models so there's a few new techniques there that I'm going to try out. I don't want to impose too many rules and restrictions but I would ask that the first squad of 5 marines be completed by the last day of May. If you like the idea then let me know which chapter you would like to build. Let's go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Much as I regret doing challenges that have a time limit... 5 guys sounds doable. Dibs on the Red Scorpions. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Dibs on Fire Hawks, just a quick refresher of their pre-LotD colours, cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What would the time limits on each round be like? If they're doable I wouldn't mind putting myself down for the Sons of Medusa. ChaosLord Leon Enaek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge caster Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 I want all future time limits to be realistic and easily achievable for people with busy lives. I can't imagine any would be less than a month. Also, there's no restrictions on points limit or unit type so 5 terminators or 5 scouts would be fine. For now, this post is just for fun. Things may get more serious / strict in the future but for now I just want to give people a bit of motivation to build something they may not have even considered.

ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well I have a few things coming up in the next few months-exams and charity work in Peru mainly, but if it's just the odd model I should be able to make at least some headway with it! Dibs on the Sons of Medusa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well, I'm in! Olis took my Red Scorpion plans with their Libby, so I'm naturally going to go for the arch-evil baddy, Lugft Huron and his Astral Claws. Have at me!

Hmm, well, if you want I could switch to some Exorcists if you really want to do some Scorpions. I did hem and haw over them. Your choice, brother. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 What?! We can't have me making choices, that'd lead to death. I'll flip a coin. Heads says Scorpions, tails says Claws. And the winner is....Scorpions. Right, if you're willing to switch, then that'd be great. I'm so much better at painting grey than at blue/silver.

Hyaenidae Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Damn, I was gonna go with the Claws!!! Grrr.... Well, I guess I'll lower myself to painting up some Sharks.... Carcharadons Astra, please.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well, if Olis switches and continues the mighty switch chain, you'll have the Claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uprising Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have about 2500 pts of unpainted marines and Badab War has always be my favorite fluff for marines. I have decide to try and complete my Salamanders force. Hopefully this goes better then my lpc, which i failed this year (starting to hate seeing grey unpainted marines).

Olis Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well, that makes seven of us - only ten to go. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demus Ragnok Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well, I have never painted any miniatures and have been looking for a reason to start. I've been wanting to give it a try for a while. I think I like the Star Phantoms. But is white too much of a challenge for a nooooob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Not with the new paints, I'd say. I find it relatively easy, and I can't paint, so you should have it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 not so bad, actually; Base with Rakarth Flesh base, make a mix of 50/50 Rakarth Fleshand White Scar and go over the entire model, wash with a watered down Asurmen Blue wash, then go back over it with the Rakarth mix again, just over the raised areas. Highlight with White Scar, and you should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Actually, we could probably run through the whole narrative using vassal in addition to building the armies if we have interest in doing that. It'd give me even more incentive to get the army done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Meh, not sure how I feel about that. Does vassal allow a Tyrant's list? (never used vassal before...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A D-B Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm famously slow at painting, but I've started making progress on my 40K army in recent weeks, and I'd love to get into this with a Chapter whose colour scheme I could get done pretty quickly. And at the pace metioned in the thread, I think I could get a handle on it. I'm in for the Minotaurs, if that's all good. (Not just for the colour scheme, but because I want to write about them at some point, and I'm good pals with the guy at Forge World who played them in the original campaign.)

A D-B Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Damn, doesn't anyone want to be a traitor with me? :lol: Added AD-B into post 20. Sure, I'll trade a Chapter with Forge World shoulder pads, transfers, and Rhino doors, for... for... No. No, wait. Otherwise, I'd have been tempted by the Executioners or Lamenters.
