ImperialSquishiness Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) So, I haven't done anything with Guard (or even played my guard!) in a very long time! This army has been months in the planning and buying stage and is now about to take off. This is my Black Hawk Down themed Guard force, AKA Task Force Gothic Serpent. Here is my Vendetta Gunship completed!

duz_ Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Looks great sounds like you had a good project to keep you busy over the holidays! :tu: What's next? ImperialSquishiness 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialSquishiness Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Got a vulture up next. It should do! I've been in a bit of a hobby funk for the last couple of months, and struggled to find the motivation to do all my other projects first. This will hopefully rekindle that a bit! Still need to buy 2 valkyries and wheel kits for the 4 Taurox Primes before I have everything, plus kitbash an officer of the fleet and Primaris Psyker duz_ and WarriorFish 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Good things come to those who wait :P Looks like we have a lot to look forward to as well, keep us updated Squishy :tu: ImperialSquishiness 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imren Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Nice job, how about some slight weathering? Make some oil (use ivory black or lamp black oil paint diluted in odourless white spirit and use a syntethic brush, not your nice kolinsky sable brush) streaks behind flap hinges. Also sponge on neatly some pitting on the front face of the wings and fuselage. You tube and tonnes of weathering tutorials for oilpaint weathering of flyers.

I was likely going to wait until all the planes are done and weather them in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Good job. Will the task force have heavy vehicles- Leman Russ battle tanks, Chimera transports, etc.- to correct a noted weakness of its real-world counterparts? Or will you limit it to Tempestus Scions and Taurox Primes as analogues for Rangers and up-armored Humvees?

The only non Scion parts are Lord commisar, primaris psyker and officer of the fleet. I have a whole guard army anyway duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I've always wanted to do this. Vets for rangers and scions for delta company. Let's you bring some heavy weapons in the vet squads. Too bad we dont have any small flyer transports. I highly recommend the victoria minis gamer edition wheel kits. I picked up 2 sets at adepticon last year. I painted my guard tan and black but it just looked bad on the table so I went with a more traditional tan/green.

ImperialSquishiness Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 I was gonna get the wheel kits from zinge industries. Probably go for 6 wheelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialSquishiness Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Making a bit of progress. Lord Commisar almost done and work started on the vulture. robofish7591, WarriorFish, NerdyFellow and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Good to see progress, colours are nice especially on the pilots - it's always worth doing things properly even if they're not the most prominent thing on a model :) ImperialSquishiness 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 By the way, what will you put under the Lord Commissar's raised foot when you decorate his base? A dead xeno? Dead Chaos worshiper? Hopefully not a dead but loyal (if not as brave as the Lord Commissar demanded) guardsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialSquishiness Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Lord Commisar now done. Fuselage and base for the vulture now done barring weapons. Might come back and add some proper weathering later but will probably do all the planes at the same time.

ImperialSquishiness Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Now I just need to build and paint 40+ Scions, 2 more valkyries and 4 Taurox Primes. Going to get wheel kits from zinge for the tauroxes. Can't decide between 6 or 4 wheelers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also need to source alternative plasma guns, which may be a little difficult now...
