Race Bannon Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 TITH I put the finishing touches on a Scout squad that has metal Telion leading it while the others are plastic. Then I spray-coated a metal Terminator Librarian, metal Master of Recruits and the 2008 GD Captain (2-handed TH). This effort brought me to some conclusions: I do not have a plan to complete my army Plastic scouts suck to paint due to lack of detail and "soft" lines Metal scouts suck to paint due to too much detail Why did I shave off the "X" from my Telion's left knee pad? Why the :cuss do I want to try to paint that doorstop of a Terminator Librarian :eek Why in the Wide Wide World of Sports do I want to paint that Captain?

infyrana Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 So today I decided to have a little think on where I was taking my 30k Death Guard and what I'd like to add to them (oh Leviathan, I see you with that Melta Lance there looking back at me!). Shame that I have cluttered the desk up so haven't been able to work on them in a while. But what gets me from reading the posts out there is the feeling that I've missed multiple generations of 40k FOC changes (yes, I still use FOC because I have no idea about all these new battleforged and cad terms..). With every thread I read I seem to feel so out of touch that I wouldn't have a clue where to resurrect my 40k stuff into organised potential!

Soldier of Dorn Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Started painting a Dreadnought. I've never managed to actually finish painting anything larger than a Terminator before, so here's to hoping, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadhead Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Keep saying to yourself "It's just a bigger terminator" who knows it may help YITHI finished base coating ten cataphracti TITHI learned that forgeworld are now doing legion cataphracti pads (6 so far) The dilemma to finish the base coated ones and fiddle with transfers or wait for my number (XIII) to come up in the fullness of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulJam Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 TITH i played my first games of Epic (mingeddon) against a live target. it was bloody brilliant and i can't believe there is so little ongoing love for this concise gem of a game !! lost the first game on objectives at turn 4 vs another SM army and took a bit of a pounding from their warhound and overextending (things to work on).won the second against a dark eldar force through casualties and follwing up on objectives (non-sm opposition was an educational experience).

Ion Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Not 100% if this is the right place, but had to share... TITH I watched a unit of 8 Imperial Guardsman charge 3 crisis suits, inflict three wounds (suits rolled triple one for saves) and overrun them, wiping the unit out. It was glorious.

Brother Sefiel Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 GreetingsToday I started painting another extra-armoured Damocles (this time converted from a Hunter). Building it has been quite pleasing. Why in the Wide Wide World of Sports do I want to paint that Captain? Presumably because you want to give him a Shield Eternal and use him to smash demon princes, monstrous creatures, etc.That's what I did with mine (after giving him a few other interesting bits) and now Hammerman, as he is known, is roundly hated in my local gaming group (which conveniently forgets the fact that their flying circuses used to batter my poor marines viciously until I made him the solution).

Carlson793 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 TITH, I set myself a challenge: take the contents of the Anvil Industry order that just arrived - 30 Crowmantian Militia, 15 Cultist Praying, and 4 sets of Unity Council Marine Pistols - and, before the weekend is out, have 15 'fully' painted Inquisitorial Henchmen Warbands (2 Acolytes, 1 Psyker each) ready for a wahoo psychic phase shenanigans army.The plan: red primer on bodies, black primer on 'bolter arms' brown or charcoal armor blue robes (psykers) one-coat fleshtone on faces little bit of gold trim Army Painter Strong Tone Quickshade flat/matte clear coat Clock is ticking and primer is drying...

Firepower Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 TITH I ordered the anniversary model at my local GW, which is seeing the busiest Saturday ever. It's not exactly a roomy store, either :P GW sent the store a whopping 2 copies of the Angels of Death book :lol: JeffTibbetts 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattleBrotherJohn Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 TITHI I was disappointed to find out the 30th anniversary Imperial Space Marine figure had already sold out in my local GW shop . But when I got home I found out it was still available on the GW webstore and ordered one . Then surfing the site I saw that the Imperial/Crimson Fist Tank Pack accessory set was no longer available . Which has lead me to go searching on a well know online auction site and paying x3 the price that GW was selling this set for ( ) just so that I could have them on stand by for unspecified possible future Fist vehicle projects as yet to be determined . Beginning to think I am just the teensiest bit obsessive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Tith i am Feeling frustrated with Gw and their new releases... Deathwatch game Knight vs renegade knight Sm:aod Csm:bl Csm:cs All things I want and they are coming out so fast I can't afford any of them... And I still have a truly long list of things ive been wanting... black templar, ig, tranids, chaos stuff etc... On the plus side luckily I've put off getting any of the campaign books type stuff and the 2 chaos supliments have been glaring at me it the local store so I'm glad I didn't get them yet... And I've been contemplating a knight, do a nearly 2 for 1 deal is pleasant... Yay procrastination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrack Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 TDITH I dipped into my primed Nurgling box and used up the last loose Nurgling. He will be taking a ride on a helbrute roller coaster.

JeffTibbetts Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) TITHI buckled like a belt and ordered the 30th Anniversary mini on a whim.

Carlson793 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 TITH, I set myself a challenge: take the contents of the Anvil Industry order that just arrived - 30 Crowmantian Militia, 15 Cultist Praying, and 4 sets of Unity Council Marine Pistols - and, before the weekend is out, have 15 'fully' painted Inquisitorial Henchmen Warbands (2 Acolytes, 1 Psyker each) ready for a wahoo psychic phase shenanigans army. <snip> Clock is ticking and primer is drying... Okay, like Apollo 13, I'm gonna chalk this one up as a successful failure. Things I learned from this one that I need to account for next time I give myself a challenge: Unlike GW, when most companies tell you it's 28mm scale, it's gonna be scaled to a 28mm human, not a 28mm caricature of an overly muscle bound humanoid (painting normal scale guns when you're used to Space Marine bolters - SHEESH!) You're 46, Carlson. Yes, you have enough time to get XYZ painted, but account for the fact you're going to lose 15-30 minutes each hour getting up and loosening up your stiff shoulders/numb fingers. When scheduling a 36-hour painting session, do remember to account for the 4-6 hours your going to lose from your previously scheduled date night with the fiancé, the 8+ hours of sleep, the hour or two for meals and shower, and the laundry you've left sitting in the basement for the better part of the week. All that aside, I managed to get the psykers ready for Quickshade and 'basing' (just a coat of Martian Ironearth), about half the Acolyte guns painted, and the Acolytes about half done. ...probably won't touch any of 'em for another week, as tomorrow starts my week with my son.
