Very clean work, man. Looking great en masse. Inspiring stuff.

I cant believe I have neglected your thread. Awesome army shot sir. Extra points for the FW drop pod. Going the extra mile!

Only the best ride for my little murderous washing machine

The recipie has served me well making lots of dead bodies

I think you mean 'have infiltrated all over the place'...

That isn't a severed head on the Contemptor's base, it's a heavily concealed Alpha Legionnaire setting a trap that the Dreadnought has just walked right into. One second later, and the rest of him will burst from the ground, meltabomb in hand, to turn the metal menace into scrap! Hydra Dominatus!

They were creed before it was cool

Its all good man, and thanks thankfully my local gw has great light so taking pictures there is awesome and easy.

Well I am back from canada and playing ash. We got two games in and they were a lot of fun, it was nice playing against a fully painted army on a table with nice terrain. I won't give out any spoilers, but the games won't be posted until august and september. But I can say they were a lot of fun to shoot, so hopefully it comes across in the video as such.

But I do have pictures from the games including a few action shots, I also was able to build my 3rd terrain piece tonight along with washing corax and the laser vindicator destroyer.















Some in game shots from the 2nd game





Lastly the terrain plus corax and the vindicator

Nice. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the Vindi.

How'd the game go?

They went well! I will post them on my thread once they are posted by ash

So I was able to build the laser vindicator today along with corax finally. I messed up on his jump pack, but I built it in a way that makes it look like he is dropping down instead of swooping and I kinda like it. I will be priming and hopefully airbrushing them tomorrow (if it isn't too hot). I plan on making the killed marine on corax's base a word bearer because I think that the red will help accent the model and that I actually have word bearer transfers left over from my BaC set

Cool. I love the Laser Destroyer Vindi, so cool.

EDC

Good idea on the Word Bearer. I think he will compliment the black well. And I'm looking forward to seeing the Vindicator, I like that model a lot.

Yeah I can't wait to start corax he is going to be so much fun.


Well I was able to start the laser vindicator today, but I was only able to get the base coats and metals down only to realize I have run out of agrax so tomorrow I will pick some up and continue on with this beast

God damn you work fast! Looking good dude.

EDC

Ahhh yes. The Agrax must flow! Lol. Never enough Agrax is there? Lol.

Took me ages to get hold of the LD vindicator when it first came out. Very popular kit apparently.

Coming along nicely! What else do you have planned for the army after Corax and the Vindi?

evildrcheese wrote:God damn you work fast! Looking good dude.

Thanks! I am still in that get everything painted for the youtube games crunch

It is an awesome model right? And the rules for it are pretty damn good so I can see why it is popular and yeah agrax is literally the best wash so I can see why I run out a lot

Paradigm wrote:Coming along nicely! What else do you have planned for the army after Corax and the Vindi?

Honestly? No I got nothing, well I mean I got 5 melta supports and 5 lascannon dudes plus a plastic vindicator. I plan on making my armies on parade board and a few of the dark mechanicus before I leave for university. After that I plan on doing some ashen claws blackshields as a small fun army


Not a whole lot to comment on, I was pretty busy today so I only got the washing, heat stressing and finishing the white on the vindicator. So I should have him done by tomorrow and start work on building my last building and prepping them for my AoP board. I am going with a dark grey for the buildings so they match most tables and will be a nice contrast to the teal blue and red of the mechanicus models

Nice work on the quad laser, looks ace.

EDC

Definitely agree, the laser looks incredible! Still love the ARMY pics!

Hey! Everyone else is taking my lines! The Laser truly does look amazing, contrasting with the matte black of the armor.

Amazingly good work on the Raven Guard over these pages. A very impressive looking force, and you're a braver man than I am to assemble that Fire Raptor.

Thanks man! I am glad I learned how to do heat stressing as it has served me well so far

I am still in awe that I have actually finished an entire army for once in my life

I have said many times that it is the worst sculpt I have ever dealt with...and now I want to get a storm eagle because the raven guard have a special variant of it that causes blind and concussive on the missile blasts


Well I have almost finished the vindicator, minus sealing and matting down the transfers. I have also basically finished Corax's decorative base bar painting the rim, sealing and matting the dead word bearer's transfers and painting the blank parts of the base (what should I paint that? the marble or the stone color?)

Up next is painting the big guy himself







Vindicator

Loving that very-much-dead Word Bearer. The Colchisian cuneiform looks awesome.

Having beautiful models that call your name everytime you look at them makes a big difference too.

Nice progress on Corax's base.

angelofvengeance wrote:Loving that very-much-dead Word Bearer. The Colchisian cuneiform looks awesome.

Its a transfer from the BaC kit actually, they have a lot of nice ones for the WBs on there

Well the raven guard are coming to a close, I finished the laser destroyer and corax is rapidly following. I got the base coats down on him today and hope to have him finished by next week, starting tomorrow though I will be making my armies on parade board and starting to finish my dark mechanicus (hopefully slowly over the fall semester) and after that the plan is to start a 30k blackshields army which I have 10 terminators already made up for.

The Laser Destroyer is looking superb! Can't wait to see Corax either.

What sort of scheme and theme do you have in mind for the Blackshields?

Lovely job on Corax and the LD vindicator . Still debating on whether to paint mine in Dark Angels 30K colours or 40K colours.

Yeah the WB transfers are really nice .

They will be ashen claws (so dark red and black) they were the terran members of the 19th legion before corax took over. He didn't like them so he sent them to the far side of the galaxy to crusade and all of a sudden they disappear and return back as space pirates

They actually changed the dark angels colors so they could sell more green paint (or make a green paint set) actually so I say go with black


So I started work on my armies on parade board since I am almost done with the legion. I have made the general layout of the board, it will be the fall of uraniborg to chaos and the last ditch defense by the scions holding the bunker. I think I got a good model layout for this one (the IK will be replaced by my chaos one later on). What do you all think is it too busy? I will be adding smoke coming from the buildings (cotton and those flicker candles) and a piece of cloth with a chaos star hanging over one of the buildings signaling the new rulers at a later point. Now this is a rough draft, I still have to seal the base colors in, get the crackle paint down, spray it a martian iron earth color with the airbrush and then seal that in.

Nice work on the armies on the armies on parade board so far.

Corax is looking great!

EDC

Excellent work on the AOP board! Corax is looking phenomenal, as is the vindicator. Those two are excellent models to purchase. Ready for the finished products!

Awesome start Ustrello. That's gonna look the business. What the deal with AoP boards - are there like any rules/ guidelines etc that go with?

Soon, hopefully very soon. Maybe by wednesday at the latest for coarx

Januine wrote:Awesome start Ustrello. That's gonna look the business. What the deal with AoP boards - are there like any rules/ guidelines etc that go with?

A few rules, gw models and it can't be bigger than a 2 foot by 2 foot board. And it can be one model or an entire army, they are super fun to do and a good motivator to finish a army

Well I am almost done with corax, all that is left is to do his lightning claws and his hair.

Cool stuff, the contrast on the wings is great!
