Beautiful work SL. The adds for the bastions & the servitors are spectacular!

Very purdy indeedy

Thanks everyone. Waiting on some paints to get more done on the Bastions. Might try some of the GW rust dry paint ( the orange one) to see if I can make it a little more used looking.

Brought some plastic plants from my local pet store. They are a bit large but should be able to make some interesting flora pieces as well as finally get some of these minis based. Looking forward to the end of the month when I'll have 11 days off! Hopefully the weather stays mild!

I've actually used the rust dry paint on some of my Leman Russes, it actually looks really good if it's used properly. if you do use it I can't wait to see how it comes out!

Looks great!

When do we see more ruined Ork buildings?

No Ork buildings for me. The ones I did are for you. I'm still contemplating a Ork Sky shield ( in the tellyportin theme ) at some point.
I still have those/yours to send.. I Haven't been able to find a big enough box.. maybe I'll hit one of the packaging stores. I might have to ship it in several boxes.

If I finish the Bastions over this next weekend, I'll be doing some repaints on these...

These were built for our Adepticon display a few years back, so now they'll get an upgrade to the current theme. The craters probably won't need to much and the AA quad guns will be spared and re-purposed for Carapace mounts on my IK's

Pics? ( the Git rule )

What is the pipeline made from? It looks really cool.

There's a lot of really good pieces there SL. I love my pipelines... I should finish them one of these days.

Resin. I believe. Didn't actually purchase it myself. Got it as a gift. Nice thing is it's all in pieces so it can be put together multiple ways.
I have lot of terrain pieces like this and someday I'll put them on 1x1 boards so I might actually remember to use them in games.

Finished the Aegis wall last night. Pics this weekend. Did some more detailing on the 1st Bastion. This looks like it will take forever to finish these. ~Sigh~

Some more progress on the pile of Terrain/Fortifications. Trying to get them all painted in the same theme.

One of 3 Bunkers I did for a Adepticon Display. They were all originally blue grey. They also have interchangeable gun mounts; Heavy Bolters, Multi lasers or Las Cannon.
Sorry for the blurry pic.


Finished Bastion. One of 2.



As promised a group shot of the current fortifications ( I have a sky Shield, but it too needs updating )



Lastly wip pieces, including the remaining two bunkers with their respective weapons and some ruins.

Close up of the ruins. WIP

Beautiful stuff SL, though there is a bit of discontinuity between the completely rusted fortifications and the pristine, doted on gun batteries.

Love those ruins... need to get me some of those I think.

Love the colours. The marble is beautiful and your "fixing" of the blue is ingenious

Yeah, the amount of gold metallic with the bone color skeletons on the gun make them seem brighter than the other pieces. I might wash the metallics down again. There is not as much bare metal on the guns as the other pieces. The kit is much more embellished so it calls for more detail. Originally the red base was the rust color, I thought it needed some color to break up the rust ' Blob' effect, thus the red.

Thanks, It's still a Wip and not where I want them yet. Kinda trial and error!
When I'm done with the set, I'll dust them with the rust to tie them to the the other structures. Hopefully it won't ruin the effect.

Terrain pieces look great SL. Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do.

I like the two toned ruins with the fancy floors. Terracotta and dark grey look really good together.

Thanks Egg.. so cool your back.. Are you attending AC this year?

Was pleasantly surprised myself. It was a just start painting moment and see where it goes.

I'll probably drop off the bunkers to my FLGS. they are bit small and don't fit the standard bunker that GW sells. So I'll have to make some new ones that fit the foot print better so they are legal for the points. I'll keep the guns however.

AC? Not sure what that is so probably not.

Adepticon

Everything's looking sharp, SL. I should road trip.

That would be fun. I believe it doesn't cost anything to show up. Both Git and i have rooms if you need to stash stuff.
We do end up playing pick up games of 40k as well as late night Boss Monster!

More cool terrain pieces for the holiday. Several new " industrial tank" farms that I eagerly had to assemble.
Finished off the single tank and will try to get the double tank unit done this week. Snow tonight so it might get delayed due to shoveling.

Snow!? Heh... it was in the 70s here yesterday

Looking forward to the pics!

Took the day off.. lots of snow. Some of my drifts were 4 feet high. Still more clean up to do, I hope this is the worst it gets all winter.

Got into a game of Zone Mortalis at Adepticon. So now I have to come up with 2 500pt HH armies. Thinking about doing Alpha legion, just cause it's so different than what I own.

Any suggestions on how to fill out a good offence and defence list ?

Yeah ive been watching the weather around you guys... Man. You can keep that stuff!!

Its only just now dropping a little below freezing this week, and still no snow to be seen!

Tough weather week, some drifts I had to clear were over 4ft. Who needs a gym! So sore . Hoping this is the last of it! ( insert insane laugh here)

Finished single tank. Still need to finish the double one of these.

Several more tank terrain pieces. The blue tanks unit is missing the other 2 tanks ( painting separately so I can weather them correctly). The other piece is still in the building stage. ( Bonus for LoS blocking terrain ) The walkways will fit normal figures. Haven't tried Termies though)


The last 2 can be found at http://impudentmortal.com/

May you all have a prosperous and joy filled new year.

That is amazing! I'm so jealous, really want that red one! Totally inspiring for my plans for ace chemicals.

Come Adepticon I'll pick you up one. Lots of terrain to choose from at the convention.

As previously mentioned, I'm participating in a 30k game of Zone Mortalis at Adepticon. Purchased a Betrayal at Calph box set yesterday. Thou I prefer the older version of Armor I thought it was a good cost effective way to get most of my figures instead of through FW. DEcided to go with the Alpha Legion, Not sure how effective they will be as I haven't played the game and am not up to speed on all the rules. But if I don't get started soon It'll be crunch time especially while playing FO4.

Look for some test figures and perhaps a new blog in the near future. Any suggestions would be helpful!

that's mighty kind of you but I don't want to put you out. And baby #3 means my purse strings are tied Cheers though buddy I'll admire from afar

Just can't do a true loyalist marine army can you?

Those tanks look great! I thought the red one was an air compressor at first glance.
