Just read 41 pages of awesomeness, I'll keep following this in the future. Keep up the good work!

The Relic Contemptor Dreadnought has an awesome running pose. I like it quite a bit.

RE: sternguard, as far as I know, if you buy the finecast sternguard box it is just that: some older marks of armour pieces with a ferrox pattern bolter. I think you are set there.

It must be me but when I see that laughing Necron with a gauss rifles. I think of the skull puppet in this skid and he says: "I glance you. I glance you!!!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uwOL4rB-go

Love the dreadnought looks dynamic and ready to mess some one up. the cron heads look crazy.sternguard look great too.

personally i would love to see either the sterngaurd or the dread painted up but thats just me. If ya need a break from your marines deff paint the rons up. looking for more goodness.

Woah, great models, mate!

Necrons now? I love the skull faces, nice touch!

Do you happen to have a few spare Necron heads?
I think we could set up a bits trade as I'm missing a couple Necron heads...

Mr Pooo, I have an abundance of Necron heads! they're yours if you want them? and yes, Necrons now :-) I found them and assembled them as they were given to me by a mate a little while ago, and when i saw a squad a HQ and a destroyer complete i thought why not? I can collect it slowly and just do a fairly basic paint on them for fun! so now i'm bidding on a triarch stalker, 40 warriors and 6 wraiths and have just bought 30+ 'robot beetles' so yep,....... taking it slooooooowly!

:( The unending cycles of wargaming, you are never done until you have collected them all (TM). Hmm, wait, wrong game.

I'm new to Nerd Fests marine blog, but I have to say, I'm glad I clicked on the link he added to another thread. Some of the best painting and modeling I've seen on this site. I'll be using his skills to inspire me when I begin painting my army. Nerd fest, you should try doing some tutorials on some of your techniques on painting and modeling. I would like to see how you do some of this stuff.

Hey DarkKnight! i'm glad you have joined us here :-) feel free to PM me if you want a tute or run down of anyhting I've done! i'm pretty friendly and passionate about the hobby i'd be only too happy to help!

Its odd that simply sticking skulls on a Necron changes the over all look to them. But I friggin love it. Nice idear there

Cheers KC i'm in a paint funk at the moment so I'm building all the models i have to go! there'll be some pics soon of a bucket load of grey plastic marines and some more dreadnoughts and Necrons :-) I may even base coat the Crons to see how the skulls look with paint!.... Ooooh exciting times eh!

Can't wait to see that Contemptor painted up - I love that kit and how flexible it is, very nicely posed Nerd

Spray paint is the next step in lazyness. Eventually though, you get some paint on them puppies..........or dead skeleton guys, whatevs

Yo Damo,

Just got myself up to date with the thread and everything for the new marines looks great! I loved the bat-rep as well.

Keep up the goow work bloke.

Jacko

Thanks jacko! Glad you like the progress! it certainly has been a while since you've had a look around! I'm thrilled you're back though ;-)

and having you back has now given me the shove to paint up my contemptor to honor your return! lol so that's what i'll work on next week, keep an eye out everyone for updates... or hassle me to do something ...please!

I hereby hassle you to show us WIP Contemptor pics

Woah Dave! quick off the mark there buddy ;-)

don't stop there the more hassling the better = the more guilty i feel about not painting for a month lol!

Consider this another prod for Contemptor pics with paint

guilt guilt guilt (hey im catholic i can wield guilt like a weapon)

Sweet baby jesus a month?! Even Ive been painting lately ya bum

I am in the middle of the longest paintjob of mah life.

I hear ya, I just batch painted 20some boyz and 10ish lootas in one go. It nearly killed me

This page is sorely missing any pics of...anything. Cmon man, we expect better of you

Brilliant! that's exactly what I needed to hear lol!

Contemptor is now primed and washed ready for paint. I will be back..... Oh yes..... I WILL be back... Mwahahahahahaha!


.... Oh and it'll look freaking sweet as!

It better man, or your getting the hose again

Righto, I need some input tonight if i may ask politely?

I'm starting to feel the painting urge wash over me and i want to get some things organised, tomorrow i need to order some paints and in the batch i want to order the main colour fro my Necron force, I was going to paint them up in a bone theme and make SkeleCrons with this colour primer http://www.thecombatcompany.com.au/cp3012-army-painter-colour-primer-spray-skeleton-bone-undercoat.asp but I've seen a few armies that scheme now and while it looks good i'd like to be a bit different and am seriously leaning towards this colour http://www.thecombatcompany.com.au/cp3013-army-painter-colour-primer-spray-necrotic-flesh-undercoat.asp keeping in mind that the accents would be done in a dark metal and black theme (have a little look at the smaller pics to see the shade proper)

In the meantime i will (I promise) be working on my contemptor the next couple of days and popping pics up :-) as well as my Accord wagon model I got! a bit left field i admit but I will use some of my Nerd skills to 'cool' it up some!

so please let me know your opinion on what shade to necronise my army!

Between those two, I think necrotic flesh will look more awesome. I demand more pictures of contemptor dread.

Contemptor! Contemptor! Contemptor!

Meph, Leo, thanks guys! I'm pleased you're both still around considering my severe lack of painting lately (you can thank my work!) I shall really put in an effort on Contemptor this week I plan on having all his colours based and started shading the red :-)

so, one vote for Necrotic flesh then!

Accord wagon? Like a honda? Why do they even make a model for that?
