Vash Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks. More to come later tonight I hope. Got my Warlord Alpha and half his unit done.  In total I now have around 850 pts painted :) Soon I can start playing the Skitarii army I intend to field in a small scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Well then, update time. Completed half of the Plasma Caliver unit today. The Alpha in this unit will act as Warlord, to prevent overheat. Equipped with a power sword and the phosphorenix relic weapon. The unit will be joined by an inquisitor, equipped with a plasma pistol & power sword, and rad grenades. These 10 brave plasma and rad wielding soldiers will board a drop pod. Supported by the Dunecrawlers who has the weapon upgrade that reduces the cover with -1, further supported by the units omnispex, I am hoping the unit will obliterate their intended target. In close combat, supported by another Vanguard unit dropping in, and the Sicarian units (one of each), I am hoping I can gain some advantage with the rad rules and rebuff the infiltrators provide. Anyhow...  [skitarii Vanguard] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/Caliver%20unit1.jpg  [Alpha back] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/Alpha%20back.jpg  [skitarii aprox 800 pts] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/army%20800%20pts.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Very nice. how are you getting the drop pod?  Thanks. I am adding a Flesh Tearers Strike force detachment. 1 HQ, 1 TROOP and 1 FAST ATTACK is the detachment requirement. Then you can add a redicuouls amount of FAST ATTACK (meaning drop pods...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethernitas Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Amazing looking models but I'd expect no less after beeing awestruck by your GKs :D Â What did you use for the dirt on the greatcoats? Not sure if it's pigments, wash or standard colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's pigments, wash or standard colour. Ha ha, those GKs were from a long time back now. Or it feels like it. Had more time on my hands back then. No kids thus more time to paint. Anyhow, the dirt is painted with Forge worlds weathering powders. Dry mud is the one I used here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Great looking force Vash! :tu: Â Did you do anything to fill in the seams between the front and back halves of the vanguard's coats? I'm trying to decide if I need to get the putty out or if the undercoat will hide them well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks again guys. Â Great looking force Vash! :tu: Â Did you do anything to fill in the seams between the front and back halves of the vanguard's coats? I'm trying to decide if I need to get the putty out or if the undercoat will hide them well enough. I simply used a lot off plastic glue. Well not draining it. But just enough for it to flow over when I squeeze the two parts together. The glue will melt the plastic and create a smoother surface. If needed, I will once it's dried up and hard again use a modeling knife and clean the surface just like when your cleaning mold lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Joined the ETL, so I gotta update with before and after pictures. Here is the first of two Ironstrider Ballistarii to be completed.  I have only assembled it and sprayed it with the base colours I use. Next update on this one will be when its done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/Ballistarii%20wip.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Well then... another update. These are units that I painted 2 days ago... before I entered the ETL, so they cannot contribute to the ETL sorry. 5 rangers, missing 5 buddies, and 9 Vanguards with Inquisitor. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/5%20man%20rangers.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Adeptus%20Mechanicus/Vanguard%20plasma%20caliver%20unit.jpg   Almost halfway through the army now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall Egregorius Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Very nice! Is there any way a group shot from the back could be made, so we can see the detail on the backpacks and robes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to arrange that on the next batch. :) Back packs are really dull though. Just brown, and high lighted once with scag brown. Robes looks the same as the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
