Nards08

Wow phatosen that Lysander looks great! Very nice work. I hope one day when I get around to painting mine he looks half that good!

Your 4th Company looks great! Maybe one day I'll get around to posting mine up on here.

What might this recipe for stubble be? It looks good but I have never tried it myself

I also just read one of the soul drinkers books where Pugh fought with the Fangs of Dorn. Basically two short and fat power swords. Apparently he likes to dual wield.

I'm torn between an action pose like the Seth model or a more static menacing pose for my new champion. Decisions. Decisions.

Here we go, my first WIP shot. The cockpit section is done. Now it is time to move on to the main fuselage. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/stpit_zpsd2560c3c.jpg

Well after the LPC, Black Templar Exp, and the ETL I was quite burnt out on painting. I have taken a break and am ready to give my boys in yellow some more attention. So that being said... I, Nards08, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least 1 Stormtalon Gunship on or before the 29th of December, 2012. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow to bring honour to Dorn and the Emperor by completing my vow and not failing my brothers-in-arms. Ave Imperator!

I just picked up this kit and I believe I'm going with the TML on mine. The skyhammer was a close second but the TML won due to versatility. You can't just look at the ST abilities for an interceptor because it is capable of so much more. With zoom you really don't have to worry as much about ground units knocking you out without huge volumes of fire. Against all other fliers you are still covered. AV12 is the best out there right now and even your AC can pen that due to rending. Pen hits are still great but just because you pen doesnt mean you are knocking anything out. You can glance a vehicle to a wreck though and that's where volume of fire comes back in. With AC and TML you have 6 shots (if in range of both) that have a decent chance of glancing or better. As most things are 3 hull points if you are lucky you could knock another flier out of the sky right there. Now switch over to ground targets. Once again AV12 is pretty decent but you still have a shot to damage AV14 with both weapons. AC can actually pen AV14 with a good rending role. Not alot of armour left on the table? Thats ok cause now you can shoot blast templates and AC shots at anything left that moves all while being hard to hit and getting a 5+ save if you want it. Versatility is key and really what makes SM great. The AC and TML combo fit the bill for the ST.

I'm sure some of the brothers on here would be willing to help you make a bigger dent in that stockpile haha! I fear for my completion as well as I changed work shifts and have zero time for much hobby anymore. Oh such is life :)

I have been distracted by my new Tyranid Army. They are yellow as well! Really though I only have a captain and a tac squad left. Hopefully I can pull it out.

Added a small update to my WIP thread today. Rhino is done! Tac squads and Captain left.

I cant wait to see all the Fist goodness coming from this expansion

Well I'm glad we can start right away as I couldnt contain myself. I have already began work on my captain with some small converting. Also started painting a few of the tactical marines. Shall we be posting WIP pictures here as well?

I, Nards08, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least 15 Tactical Marines, 1 Captain, and 1 Rhino Transport on or before the 31st of June, 2012. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow to bring honour to Dorn and the Emperor by completing my vow and not failing my brothers-in-arms. Ave Imperator!
