Glad you fixed that mold line Damo. Really looks top notch mate. Beautiful work. So much emotion in that figure!

Excellent looking figure. here's to your many victories!

Brutal stuff, mate, he's looking about 15 kinds of mean! The colour choice, the texture work, all top notch!

Thanks dudes! I think he's a damn brutal looking model and when I get the new boxed game when it's released about the 24th Sep the other 4 fighters will get the same treatment :-) it's basically a Khorne fighting pit game where you take control of participant and do your best to take his opponents skull for the throne! to be honest it's the first boxed game and first non 40K game that I'm looking forward to getting, it might be the small number of models and the personality of them as individuals that draws me in as well as the option to add additional fighters and cards in the future! Stay tuned!

Sternguard are finally done! these guys have taken me way too long to finish and I don't know why! but here they are in their mustard glory ready to bring a bit of very accurate pew pew pew to the galaxy! hope you like them guys.

Man, that Slaughter Priest looks like a real badass. Top work!

Sternies are looking pretty awesome too.

Argh, why are they still on those weird bases?

Because trying to get them off nearly broke a foot so i left them.

Sternguard are fantastic! Really love that yellow, and the balance of colors on the models

Thanks Ritides I'm glad they're finished and together they look sweet that yellow would look great on a Knight Atropos!

Now does anyone on here know much about the new Deathwatch? I was given (lucky me) a Deathwatch Terminator captain and a box of 5man DW Kill team but i'm not sure I know what to do wit them? I've sort of had a read through a few threads but everyone just keeps bickering and countering every suggestion so I gave up so i'm thinking of having them made up just with cool options like a blackshield, Frag cannon, flamer heavy bolter, shotgun and a few terminators made with the extra pads? then using them along my IF's? until I delve into pure DW army territory

So can I have some input please? I don't want to waste the builds when I do them and i'm not worried about points costs

I saw a frag cannon used in a batrep the other day. It was horrible (in a good way if it's your frag cannon). Lovely job on the sternguard Nerdy. The universe is both safer and prettier now that they're ready to be deployed!

The good news is that most of the cool DW stuff is also good. The shotguns are great up close, the Frag Cannon is nasty anywhere under 24" and the Blackshield can be brutal even if you keep him pretty cheap, just a power sword and CCW. I'd say the best way to get a useful unit using as many cool toys as possible is:

Blackshield, probably with a Power Weapon of some flavour, maybe a Storm Shield
2x basic Shotgun guys, to keep the cost down and give you some nice close range firepower- they could be given a Power Weapo/Claw if you want as well.
1x Frag Cannon
1x Heavy Thunder Hammer, because no one should ever have to justify taking something that's even more brutal than a regular Thunder Hammer.

Then with the Termies, go Assault Cannon or HF, knock together a melta-fist and you're good to go!

All that said, with the upgrade sprue in the Captain set you've got a bunch more pads, and you'll have plenty of spare arms, so if you've got any Tactical/Sternguard ect parts lying around, you could put together a counterpart squad that's more ranged-focused with the spares. Stalker Boltgun, 2x regular Bolters, Heavy Flolter and whatever you want on the Sarge (I think he can take an Auspex for dropping Cover Saves). Add in a CML Termie and that's a nice shooty unit.

Thanks Para, good info and here's a WIP of my Nurgle Prince for your troubles I'll finish assembling the DW tonight, and what you suggested was pretty much exactly what I was going to use on them the frag cannon has been received excitedly from what I read online and the image of a marine with a shotgun is just plain cool!

So today I primed a few models and started the Nurgle prince with some washes over him then began blending a flesh tone into the skin while it was still wet, I'll make him quite light skinned I think so any nasty bits stand out I saw a horror movie trailer a month or so ago and the scary bit had coal black eyes with red skin around them bleeding into white and looked creepy! so now the Prince gets it too!

Those Sternguard are the bomb. Great work as always.

God damn, that Nurgle dp looks cool.

EDC

I think you've nailed the skin tone.

Looking nice and putrid Damo

Actually got a fair bit to show you today! lots of wip on projects and a finished Landraider

I like to start with the finished stuff so now I've done the turret gunner I put it all together and voila a great addirion to my IF army and before anyone says anything I am trying to find the sensor boxes for the top of the side sponsons.










Next up is the work on the DP, more skin work and a little colour addition on him with his horns and tongue and a few glazes



Now a few beginning shots on upcoming projects!

A couple of Minotaurs for the Warlord Titan base that belongs to Whaley and being done by Ramos


Two Knights plus Kastelan and Magos for a local guy who gave me a bunch of bits and I said i'd paint something for him lol this is what he sent


The Minitruck model kit for a present for one of my best mates who's visiting in November a replica of what he owned.



My own IF Termies



Whaleys Salamander terminators.


And I'm still waiting for more Mechanicum from Gits, A Knight Atropos and Magos for Ritides and the Reaver Titan when it gets built!

Oh my word, so many things! How do you prioritise and programme what you work on? Just looking at all those projects has me feeling overwhelmed.

LR is looking awesome.

EDC

Crikey, you've been a busy chap! All looking awesome, the LR especially!

Your land raider is awesome, really well done! The decal on the right access door is a little wonky. And now I've noticed it, I cant unsee it :(

You've got a tonne of stuff WiP... GL to getting it all done. I'm excited to see the results.

Wow, that yellow works so well on the Land Raider, too! Perfect for the Atropos

I think I'm last in line after all those projects but that's just fine . Looking forward to following your progress on these!

Glad to see you are trying to add decals to your list of weapons in your painting arsenal. Land Raider looks good. I think the Sharks land raider is missing one of the sensors too, even after I sent a spare! You must hate those things

Can I trade you a few bits for several hundred dollars worth of painting too??

Sign me up as well!

The land raider is proper nice mate, the lascannons are spot on for burnt chrome, nice one !
As for the workload, that's this week sorted, what's for next week ?

Nailed the yellow on the Raider imo. Well done!

Got a lot on your plate there with all that stuff to do. Looks like a lot of time at the painting station!

Damn Damo, I dunno how you do it! So much stuff going and each is more impressive than the last!!

Really gorgeous yellows on the Raider, and the Nurgle beastie looks properly gross

It all looks really promising and LR looks amazing.

DP is coming together really well. Your friends uuut is looking glossy. Looks like it has been parked in a rough area at mo, just needs a couple bricks.

The yellows on the LR are amazingly smooth.

Nice lot of projects on the go, will keep you going for ages.
