hermanista Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) @Vel'Cona - having reead the BA codex, to use the relics that make the build work, they have to be Blood Angels. I was all set to have a go at a split scheme and paint them as Angels Sanguine as well.

Frostbit3 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I just finished my 30 cawdor Last Friday after a horrifying painting marathon to get them tournament ready. So many details! I was really disappointed as well at how locked into poses they are. In fairness you aren’t supposed to have 30, but I was glad to have a stash of old pewter redemptionist bits to do head and weapon swaps with. Good looking luck with yours looks like a good start.

Ho hum Personally, I'd let you call them BA w/ Angels Sanguine paint, but I suppose GW has dropped the hammer on such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Yup. And with the Blood and Glory and 40k heat 3 being the big events for me between now and Xmas, have to play by their rulings. Hi hom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 *With a shudder, the dropship emerged back into reality, lurching towards the tech planet at the edge of the system. Within it's belly, the latest reinforcements to the knights stationed upon it* __________________________________________ So a big day for the Knights of Ni... With this emerging from the warp to reinforce the house... So a true support class weapon of war to join the household. It does mean this is my too build list But then that's it, household complete bar the pilgrimage. Just got to build and paint it all. In the mean time, off to warhammer world tomorrow with the knights for a game with a mate since it's larp weekend. Good times :-) Kriegsmacht, Tiger9gamer, Thousand Eyes and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 So a bit more work of the Congregation of Cardinal Glick, 23 troops done plus the two commanders. 7 to go. Including this chap, the latest and one of my favourites I think. Hard work trying to create enough unique poses, but I've found some on Pinterest that will continue the variety. And in other news, Mr postie brought this little bundle today... Truly we faithful are blessed by the Emperor himself!

hermanista Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) So a month gone without Bnc, but it's back. And in the mean time, I did some stuff! The congregation is built and undercoated and persuaded for starters, but that's a bit boring. Paint has been applied to the Triplets though, and that's more interesting at 3.10am when I write this brief piece. Still massively who, but still it's progress! I'm really have with the new shade of red, I just need a bit of time to work on the rest of it now. And start on the rest of the household obviously.

Vel'Cona Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Excellent progress! I really like that eye-catching "drying blood" look you're going for. Or is it red-rust? Either way, it's a cool finish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Why not both? Lol Painting should continue this weekend after getting a pass to do some. In the mean time, for any UK types, I've decided to run a tournament and thus am able to introduce the first North Wales Open 40k To be held in Wrexham, North East Wales on February 2nd and 3rd. If you're local or even if you're not, the event page is here. https://www.facebook.com/events/1166154273559238 More details to follow Stray 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 So I managed a bit of painting today and then there was a disaster! Had used some modelling tape for some neat lines for stripes on the Red Queen Atrapos. Painted in the black, left it to dry and then peeled back the tape... What a bugger Ho hum. Onwards and upwards!

Stray Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Oh no! :/ Though that said, you could probably turn that mishap into some really natural looking wear and tear. I think that'd look really effective - but I'm something of a sucker for heavily weathered Knights :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yeah, that'll be the plan. Its since been recoated in matt varnish to give the paint something to stick to and then we'll just go with sponging and brush work, as well as the decals. I was so happy with the colour fade on the red stripes too. Lesson learned, more varnish on the Lancers when it's their turn.

Black Knight Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I had the same problems when I tried to use Vallejo Red Primer. No matter what I spray with that it just peels, EVERYtime... Went back to the normal grey and no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanista Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 So ticket sales went up last night for the #northwalesopen40k tournament I'm running. Woke up this morning to 16 of 40 tickets gone, which is an awesome feeling. https://www.facebook.com/events/2236410813244906/ is the fb event page for it if you live sort of near Wrexham or fancy travelling. All terrain and gaming tables provided, after I splurged and bought 20 of the FAT mats for use at the event. Next up, laser cutting out 20 boards worth of terrain in work. And if folks want to share the link out, that'll be awesome :-) robofish7591, Vel'Cona and Stray 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clingy Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Good luck with the event. I just finished a 3 game local tournament and had a blast. Wales is a bit too far for me sadly but maybe one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'm hoping I can run it a few times a year, after the setup and prep of terrain this time it'll be much easier in future. 21/40 tickets gone and I'm over the moon :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clingy Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Great stuff. Hope the event goes smoothly and it’s the first of many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Cheers. Every time I mention it the tickets go up, now on 24/40 gone. Lots of cutting and sticking and painting to come then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 1750 40k tournament on Saturday. Planning on taking an Atrapos and 2 Lancers for :cusss and giggles. Leaves 235 points left over. Warglaive, Helverin or the Blessed 32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Or this option... Blessed 32 with an "upgrade" Commander 3x10 guardsmen... And *whisper his name* Marbo.... Thousand Eyes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosteldar Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 LOL! Marbo could be fun, and would be unexpected. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 It'll be different. I hadn't event thought about him really. So list wise SHD Atrapos Lancer Lancer Battalion - Catachan Marbo Commander - Kurovs Aquila 3x10 guardsmen I'm probably going to go house krast, I'll need the rerolls. My last choice then is as so - Warlord on the Atrapos or on a Lancer? I'm more inclined towards a Lancer, purely because the Atrapos is target enough and also hard enough without needing any heirlooms/traits, whilst the Lancer could probably use them more.

hermanista Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Tournament day Bottled it on taking an Atrapos and her two Lancer escorts. Lancer, Crusader and Styrix instead it is, along with the Blessed 32 at 1750. Normal tournament rule applies - Just win at least 1 game.

hermanista Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 We'll... That didn't go as planned. Three resounding and crushing losses.... Oops. Won't be playing Vulker again, back to Raven for me I think with this list. Or Krast is I take the Atrapos/Lancers to the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
