scatmandoo Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Not the dreaded last minute vow! :P Good luck for the game on Wednesday, let us know how it goes :) Tbh I may have enough difficulty with completing this vow now so I will hold off any others to negate the chance of failure. I am happy with my contribution this year. The game is cancelled though so I may get a chance to get some painting done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 That's a good idea, you wouldn't want to upset everyone by failing your vows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatmandoo Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well the next sentinel is made and the 171st has been gifted a assault Valkyrie fresh from the scrapyards of the Elysian regiments. Here are some pics. I want to make some rules for the door gunner but don't know where to start. Any suggestions anyone? http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140717_213011.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140717_213020.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140717_232043.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140717_232111.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140717_232134.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140717_232153.jpg C and c always welcome.

WarriorFish Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 That's a nice conversion for the gunner, simple yet effective. Couldn't you treat it as a rear mounted heavy stubber upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks. I can though what points do I add etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just take if from the standard upgrade options for vehicles, as that's basically what it is :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 What about 10 points and make it able to shoot a unit separate to the rest of the valkyrie/detta so long as you don't go over the 4 weapons max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 My latest additions all completed for the vow. Armoured sentinel, http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140723_195201.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140723_195258.jpg And the glorious Wyvern, a must in any armoury... http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140723_195213.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140723_195240.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Excellent work, their camouflage suits the grassland well ;) Good placement of the HK on a Sentinel too, I must confess to never having thought of that! I notice you had some trouble with one of the railings on the Wyvern - I had to do the damn things two or three times before they stayed... I hope they don't break off easy but somehow I feel I might be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for the kind words. I won't risk losing models in the grassland don't worry. As for the sentinel, I looked at it and wanted to try something different and still make it tidy. I like it too As for the troublesome rails, the thing is luck it still has one. Still haven't found the other yet and thing needed more glue this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have come into ownership of my brothers old guard models that he no longer wants. This consists of, Normal russ with lascannon and no sponsons Old Chimera model with M/L, H/B and pintle S/B A now repaired Basilisk Armoured sentinel with Lascannon Now repaired Scout sentinel with M/L A valhallen trooper An old cadian metal autocannon team. 5 steel legion Missile launcher teams Steel legion squad with plasma gun. 7 storm troopers no sgt and the gas mask type. O and a plastic Cadian with a Chaos arm?? So now, what actually isn't worth it and should I sell? Should I replace some of my plastic cadians with the steel legion to give some variety and sell the cadians? I cannot keep it all unfortunately. I already own 3 russes, 2 chimera, 3 sentinel, hundreds of infantry. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I don't think there's enough Steel Legion to work with? Maybe keep them as Veterans perhaps? Might be easier to divide it by unit type; keep the vehicles and sell the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is the basilisk worth it now though? Ap3 and s9 seems a waste of points. Maybe as vets cpuld work for sure. I also forgot to say I have a load of metal snipers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Throw those Earthshaker shells at some Marines and ask them if they're a waste of points :lol: A Bassie is something everyone should have, especially since you already have a lot of infantry so you're also most of the way to an artillery company :) Following on from that, as you have so many troopers already do you really need more?

scatmandoo Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I say hundreds of infantry, maybe a slight play on words haha. I have one small gw case full of men of various weapons etc. I will have to look as the basalisk again I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 After vowing for the in house competition, I had some time to spare this evening so got going on the Valk, going with a combat SAR theme though if anyone has pointers, send them over. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140816_221124.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140816_221140.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20140816_221157.jpg comments and suggestions always welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatmandoo Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 I haven't done any painting but check my list out in the army list area (1850 vs wolves), comments are welcome before Thursday as that is the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Easier to find if you post a link Here it is We could do with more help in the Army Lists section, I sadly don't have the time to frequent it as much as before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks for the link. My comp was being rubbish and stopping me from doing it. I will actively take a bigger interest as I have a lot of gaming experience that I can share. Be nice to give something back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 The game went well apart from a shocking turn 2 where I either missed or couldn't wound/penetrate. A full bat rep will be put into my game thread tomorrow. It ended a draw on VP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Ah well, such is life sometimes. As long as it was fun that's what matters :tu: Did you snap any pictures for the batrep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
