*scratches head* not sure if serious???

Backpacks are looking cool mate, no idea where the bits are from.

dave are you talking about the backpack or the gun.. cause vik is talking about the pack..

^that... the gun is for sure command stuff...

Viktor von Domm wrote:those backpacks look very good! and for the not too uniform look: all the better...for vostroyan this makes totaly sense for me! they are for me individuals that dress in a certain theme but nevertheless all individual...like medieval soldiers...

Thanks, Vik!

There are some Tau bits present, but not from a command thingy.

If we we're playing BS you'd be picking up cards right now, Dave

lol ahh loved that game.... but i always lied even if i had the card (shh its my special strategy!)

I think thats called cheating

no that the point of bull.. well, not really... plus cheating is fun! for example... my 7-8 year old neice and nephew lived with us a while back, and they wanted to play hide and seek... they would hide behind trashcans, or in trees... i hid on our roof.... im sure it goes without saying i won

Well you might as well teach them young that life will find way of kicking you in the arse now I will go hide start counting

well the bad part is there was this really tall ass tree (thats how i estimate ) and since i climbed to the top one game.... my neice did the same (we both got stuck, but at different times) scared me shitless with her up there

ROFL

Yes but don't forget one hand is holding the gun ……

that´s why you have to ALWAYS remember rule one with kids...: you act like a rolemodel...wether you act in good ways or in silly/bad ways... so better make it the first one...! if she had fallen off that tree...

yea well... they always try to copy me (since i am their best rolemodel ) but that just gets my sister annoyed since they try to act like me, which is not a bad thing

Show me a pic of those plasmas from the front!!!

space marine plasma guns?

could be... i have both versions at home and i can´t tell for sure either...

How did I miss those shots?? you said they are NOT stock?

dsteingass wrote:Show me a pic of those plasmas from the front!!!

Thanks for helping, Vik

dsteingass wrote:How did I miss those shots??

I don't know. You were probably busy riveting something

They certainly are stock SM plasma guns. The "not stock" parts are the backpacks. Any more bits guesses? Or should I just reveal my genius?

Dave, you had guessed "Cadian Command Plasma". Were you referring to the guns or the packs? I checked out the picture of the sprue on GW and couldn't find a plasma pack...

I got some GSing done last night. A bit of clean up on the seams of the plasma gunners (not quite finished) but I did manage to finish up the sculpting on the Medusa Cannon!

A little sanding and she'll be ready to paint! I might have to rough up the clear plastic so that paint will stick to it, though. GS hasn't had any problems. Yet.

Thanks for stopping by!

thats a fancy barrel you have there sir, interested to see this bad boy(or girl not sure) looks with a coat of paint!

Barrel detail is looking good, like that idea of adding personal detail to the barrel, don't forget the V …… I don't mean Vik by that

Thanks, guys!

lone dirty dog wrote:don't forget the V …… I don't mean Vik by that

Which "V" are you referencing? You think I should sculpt a V behind the shield and banner, or just paint a V on the shield?

Ahh Yes! Sorry, I thought you MADE those Plasmas

The backpacks I could tell are your wonderful constructs!

by the way rawson...if you ever get your hands on some orky or chaosy plasma guns... i would suggest these rather than SM ones...the vostroyan look is far closer to these...

the big barrel! yes...! but you know you are again setting new standards you otherwise have to fulfill on future projects?

and i too think with a very fine grit sandpapaper you will be more secure then later on sore if the paint peels off...!

very good work mate!

dsteingass wrote:Ahh Yes! Sorry, I thought you MADE those Plasmas

Yes, my sculpting skills have improved greatly of late I'm considering going pro

Viktor von Domm wrote:by the way rawson...if you ever get your hands on some orky or chaosy plasma guns... i would suggest these rather than SM ones...the vostroyan look is far closer to these...

Pics? I couldn't find any that looked substantially different (in my 3.2 minutes of searching )

The Vostroyan V of course and you should sculpt one on the shield it will look spot on IMO.

It was more a question of location rather than type. I was quite sure of the nature of the V

Where could those pics be, I wonder?

In other news: Supply Drop!

I picked up the base models for a few character conversions for the 104th. The Cairn Wraith for an astropath and the new Empire Witchhunter for a commisar!

The witchhunter is my first Finecast (or Failcast, if you prefer) and I must say, I'm not so impressed. Even if you take the time to check for voids in the store, that only reveals major problems (and only on one side!). As I was cleaning up said fellow, there were many things that came to light that I couldn't see upon first inspection. Little bits of missing detail, two holes in his greatcoat (that were, of course, on the side I couldn't see), etc. Not enough to warrant the effort to exchange, but enough to frustrate me a little. Anyway, coming down now

I will shortly begin pawing through ye ole bits box for suitable components for these two gents.

Also, for anyone who cares, here is the solution to the plasma pack bits quiz:


I hope to have another update this evening with my progress for the day!

Cheers,
Rawson
