Nyustukyi Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hello brothers! I have just recently felt confident enough to post up my units as my painting has gotten somewhat okay. I present a taste for now, as I need to upload more. Here is the Sciaran Battle Tank: Spear of God.http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150815_133938nopm_zpsujglbasz.jpgMore to follow!

Brother Christopher Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yeah... "somewhat okay" doesn't give the credit due to this paint job. The tank looks great, in my opinion. One question, though - is it an original Forge World kit, or a recast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 I believe it to be a recast, my second one will be up soon enough as well. I am painting. Thank you for your positive words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thank you for sharing! (I've forgotten to mention it in the first post, the only thing you could improve is the edges of black detail on the white armour - it is a bit uneven in places. But the blacks are just super-crispy, they look amazing.) Â I too have a recast Sicaran and it seems to have similar faults to that one you have. What's really comforting is how well a layer of paint and colour hides the miscast/warped elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisada Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree with Brother Cristopher, just a little touch up near some of the white areas and this bad boy looks good to go. I'd like to see a few other angles because I am considering getting one of these myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I will post up more as well as its brother the Sword of God once I get it done. I also have some other models I am currently knocking out for alls viewing pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 More pictures! Here is a picture of the Spear of God with it's brother the Sword of God, along with the Land Raider Anvil of God. The Crusades Champion is right there as well. As well as the Chaplin. All are works in progress. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010150885_zpsrd3k479z.jpg  The Anvil of God. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010207115_zpsbki73y5d.jpg  More pictures of the Spear of God. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010225046_zpsbt4ld12t.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010231335_zpsfg6ftnui.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010238398_zpsd2vfwqmx.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010243265_zpsgbmivvp9.jpg  The Sword of God. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010248492_zps44zxxat2.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010257305_zpsfcips63u.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010309660_zpsisoz9p7j.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010309660_zpsisoz9p7j.jpg  The Champion  The Chaplin http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f261/JackKnife1990/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150820_010321179_zpsej9emrnh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need to get a bigger board so they aren't so cluttered. Also still have a stormtalon and another Crusader Squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Any thoughts on the display board? Perhaps moving something? I end up with three drop pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Some observations: Â The current set up is very symmetrical. There's nothing particularly wrong with that, but you might consider making things off center so that the eye flows across the board. Â In general, i.e. you're not left handed like I am, the mind's eye flows from upper left to lower right. So you want to place things that facilitate that flow, not interrupt it. Â So looking at your board, I would do a couple of things: Â 1. In the back, I would slide the building piece to the left so that it touches the left back corner. As one looks at the board, the higher piece of terrain will grab the eye and draw it down to the board base. Â 2. I would shift the "wall/fortification" to the right so that the corner of the piece is near the right front corner. That is the termination point of the display. The little bit where the figures are behind needs to go somewhere else. I'll get to that in a bit. Â 3. Next, staging the models you have. First thing to keep in mind is to not overdo the figure count so that the board doesn't look crowded. You need some space between units so that the eye gets a chance to evaluate them. So decide how much should be on the board. Â 4. To support the visual flow, I would consider placing the knight towards the left side back, in front of the wall. You'll have to fiddle with this to see what looks right vs. room for other stuff. Â 5. Sicarians: Awesome looking tanks. I think I would shoot to have one midway between the left back corner and the right front corner. The second one should be closer to the right front corner, possibly closest to the termination point. Â 6. The other smaller terrain bits should probably slide over to the left front corner to make another anchor point. You can put infantry behind this. Â 7. Drop Pods...nice models, but they take up a lot of space as well. I would consider putting them wings up and in the back on the right side. They should create a parallel line with the visual flow, i.e. wall -> knight -> sicarius 1 -> sicarius 2, I would put one toward the back center-ish and the the other on the right towards the center of the right edge. Â 8. You may decide that you want the pods "wings down" in order to display the infantry they are carrying, just realize that is more real estate and that you want to avoid it looking too crowded.

Lord Blackwood Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Man those Battle Tanks tho @ n @   Why forgeworld why are you so expensive. I think you need a spartan assault tank , though I think everyone needs a spartan assault thing so I might just be bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I no. I agree. I most def need a spartan Assault tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisada Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 thanks for showing me two different Sicaran color schemes for BT ... I think I'm going to go for a mostly black scheme because yours is looking pretty mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 No problem! I love helping! Also I just played a 4000 point game against Space Wolves. I will post pictures and such later! It was a blood bath but it was a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Though it's been some time since you've posted it, I must say I love the display board concept. It looks pretty impressive. Unfortunately I'm too tired to provide any constructive feedback. So apparently I'm here just to say "I like looking at other people's displayed toy soldiers and resin tanks".

Ciler Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Regarding your display board concept, I'll second all that Honda said with one deviation though. Â I don't think marines in general, and templars in particular would deploy pods in such a defensive position, it seems clunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Skulls: Tacky. Overdone. Silly!  And an absolutely ****ing awesome idea. I wait to see him with a full ring one day.  What will you do then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Well there are two versions so maybe start on him. Though I find the idea of making a pile on another base interesting. Just have a pile of skulls follow him everywhere he goes lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
