Campaign: Assault on Lutum Phase 2

[elmo]

I may be up to the line on this one but will not let the Commissariat down!

[our_baz]

Sit Rep..4 down 3 to go. Basecoating the final three tonight, shouldn't need to go the wire with this. Famous last words!

Here's some shots of the last three I finished.

[WarriorFish]

Like the red and blue, keep it up baz and see them finished early - it will give you a nice break before phase 3 ;)

[WarriorFish]

Time is slipping away, phase 2 of Assault on Lutum is entering the final days - yet we're still missing a lot of red on that table! Bit too quiet here for my liking I can only assume that's because everyone is so busy painting ;)

[elmo]

I can smell the burning brushes from frantic painting and recaff from here ;)

[P3AKHOUR]

Basecoats done.

[Marshal Argos]

I'm still plugging away at my one squad. The wife threw a wrench in my plans and decided to give birth to daughter number 2, a couple of weeks early, so I'm painting with one hand and rocking with the other.  We'll see how far I make it in the next 6 days.

 

 

I'll get a pic up as soon as I'm done fighting with google fotos.  ;(

 

 

Ha, got the pic.

 

**** Hmm..  the Pic showed just fine for me, so I've tried a new link...  Hopefully this one'll work.

[WarriorFish]

Very nice colours there P3AK :tu: Argos; rock with the foot it's easier and frees your hands up for vital paint work - and congratulations on your new soldier. I expect to see her recruitment papers on my desk by week's end!

 

The rest of you - get painting! You can rest when you're dead...

[Arkaniss]

Congrats Argos! Though the picture doesn't work for me?

[WarriorFish]

The image fails to load :(

[our_baz]

Reinforcements from the Scholastica Psykana are nearing completion, as thoughts turn towards phase 3.

[WarriorFish]

Good stuff baz! Hoping we can see some more progress shots as we enter the last week... Good to see Argos's image now too, very nice indeed!

I've been working on my phase 3 vow a little tonight. All will be revealed in due time!

[nismogrendel]

Great work everyone!  I was super sick all weekend, made very little progress on the Ogryn.  My shaky hands and blury vision is gone... so back to the painting tonight! 

[Uneven Frostgun]

Eyy you want progress! I'll give ya progress you bloody black coats!

Us normal grunts call 'em Brown Bloods, as... err brown is the colour of wealth, sure wealth, due to the fact the land is brown and land ain't cheap.... pfft nah it just annoys the hell outa' them)

 

LORE INCOMING!!! soon... probably

 

 

Inking has been completed now layering, should be all ok.

 

--- Sir the lieutenants have assembled the men as instructed sir!

 

I told you to assemble the man AFTER the new uniforms have been issued!

 

Sir. It was my mistake, I alone bare the responsibility for this.

 

Is that so? Well, I suppose the new uniforms will have to wait. As for you captain, I have a special assignment for you. ---

In progress pic, I like the way the highlighting is coming out on the gun.  The lines always look so even until I look at a picture... then I see nothing but the flaws :p

Made some good progress tonight, on track to finish for sure!

Excellent stuff, the entrants list is updated! Keep the final push going and victory is assured!

[RADU LYKAN]

My next hobby night is on the 29th, nothing like a mad dash at the end to spice it up

[WarriorFish]

Fortunate favours the bold RADU! It's nothing to worry about, just like finishing your final year project the night before submission - and who doesn't do that? Except the lecturer shoots you if you miss the deadline... So I guess it's more like school than university now I think about it?

[Arkaniss]

That's the only way I can get models done Radu, I need a deadline to motivate myself. The closer the deadline the more motivation I have

[elmo]

Final stretch ... based tonight - final detailing tomorrow - photos Friday :)

[WarriorFish]

As long as it's before the deadline We can't let the Campaign stall after coming so far, it's time to put Nadoun and his cronies on the ropes ready for the final blow in phase 3! Onwards to victory comrades!

[Uneven Frostgun]

Ok so the cloth is finished on all the troops, just got to paint the armour and details... and the base and the guns...

That commissar's finger is looken' mighty twitchy

here are some more completed troops for the Commissariat's pleasure

[WarriorFish]

Great work Frostgun, the colours look very nice - surely on schedule for completion too which is just as good :tu:

[P3AKHOUR]

Those look great Frostgun, love the tan.  I see you're using the cadian hostile environment torsos, did you have much trouble getting the hellgun cables to mate up to the backpacks?
Its my last paint night tonight.  I'm aiming to finish my bullgryns, but progress is slow.  Every time I drop a brush or pop the lid on a paint pot they form a line and lock their shields together.  Takes a lot of coaxing to get them to stand down.
 

[WarriorFish]

Have you tried a friendly faced Guardsmen with some rations?
