Yes, that would be nice to see as well.

I'd be tempted to go with Black Imperial Tie Fighter style uniforms. Another option would be to go with the same way your planning to paint your naval forces.

Hey guys - Pics and some fluff will be added come this weekend. I've been rocking out MW2 (Steam username is Bungd-up Email is St_anger_253@hotmail.com) Not much in terms of new and exciting - just finishing the last few stock troopers & Vox operators. I did get to building an Artillery Officer/MoO (Or more accurately, gave him a cool mask with a 'T' visor) but I'll showcase some stuff.


In addition, I'd like to give mad props to GaleForce9 for yet another outstanding product line - Battlefield in a Box terrain.

This stuff is beautiful. It comes prebuilt and prepainted (And flocked in the case of their hills/mountains) and the detail on them is just great. Their 'Gothic Ruin - Corner' cost about $4 CAD more than a GW ruin piece, but considering it's bigger, comes built & painted, and has the same - if not slightly better - level of detail, I consider that more than fair. I would highly advise snatching this stuff up whenever and wherever you see it. I'll add some shots of the ruin and the column set I got too

Damn! I was just at a Boxing Day sale that had Battlefield in a box stuff... at 25% off!!!

Oh well, I'll get some next time.

Alright, sorry for the long break - here're some shots of the awesome Battlefield in a Box stuff from GaleForce9

The Gothic Ruins - Corner piece:





And the Ruined Columns set:





Next, my Master of Ordinance. The Rank Insignia on his Chest denotes a Lieutenant (Been adding these to my Officers as of late for a little extra depth) I might put the Lasgun on his back and have him holding a Pistol instead.





And this is a Comms Relay I built from an Auspex and spare tank bitz This will serve as an Objective and, occasionally, probably share a large base with my MoO and make him look more 'Master-y'

Looking good, as usual! May well 'borrow' that idea of a comms relay...

Quick question- do the MoO's hands look that yellow on the tabletop, or is it just the photo?

It's the photos working hell on the tones. I don't have a daylight bulb so even post-wash, the skintones tend to come out yellow because of the standard bulb

Oh, I see now. I seriously thought you had painted yellow gloves on him for a minute there. I like the comm relay, I may have to do something similar. I have an awful lot of sprue pieces laying around, so maybe a little tower might get constructed...

Nice

love That terrain! lookin' good!

that terrain looks like a GW piece (no offense)

GaleForce9 good stuff. Comes prepainted and all. And for about $4CAD +/- more/less than GW stuff

I like the MoO!! However i would advise against puting them together on a large base for gaming reasons...
P.S. That terrain is positively beautiful...

Not a bad deal for pre-made terrain, but they look like they just cast stuff made from Hirst Arts molds and paint them. Of course, if you are like me, you have PLENTY on the painting table so I am sure that the premade stuff helps immensely.

Just because I have nothing actually relevant to add, and because this is awesome and hilarious...

A -tad- NSFW, but Youtube is hosting it so it can't be that bad.

the video never ends!!!! Crazy!!!

I say, this video must be blessed by the god of SPAM! All bow down to the SPAM god's creation!

That was...well...

i like how your army is turning out there dude... if only you showed some progress pics...

"What?! You messed up in the head or something?"


Looks cool thought, keep up the good work!

He's actually holding his hand to his helmet comm, but I can see where it looks like he's saying "Oi! The bloody is wrong with your head!?"

Some damn nice guard there, the subtle but effective conversions just make them look as hard as nails, excellent scenery too!

Thanks mate I haven't been doing much on them recently - I went from MW2 to Two Worlds and it has sidetracked me with no effort. But I am slowly getting off my arse. Finished another Vox Caster for one of my incomplete squads and I have another one, plus 4 stock primed Guardsmen still to do up. And then the last 6 or so still on the sprue. So... Slowly getting finished. And then I think it's time to add another Lemon Rust

Damn fine army there. For a non-display army you've definitely done some awesome painting and conversion work. Awesome scenerey too. And your video made me lol and WTF in equal measures
you should check out my army (not nearly as awesome but I think its pretty good) the link is at the bottom of my signature

I like em. They look like the scheme for the oldschool Necrons

I used to have a few. They were black with Ice Blue trim and metal gibbinz (Knees, Wrists, Spines and the like) And then the black was glossed over to give it a sort of Ceramic look. But I couldn't stand them long. Painting Necrons was maddening I dunno how you do it.

easy, spray paint em all black, then lightly brush over them with silver to leave the recessed areas black(almost a drybrush but not quite that dry). Then a spot of gold for the chest glyphs, two spots of green for the eyes, more green for the stomach cables and gun parts, then silver for the bayonet. Done. (Destroyers on the other hand are a pain in the arse to paint because of all the gold trim and whatnot)

What did you think of my drop troops suggestion a while back?

I'm certainly thinking about it. I still haven't even primed them yet

The standard scheme might be what I go with though. Though I might give them the MkII three-tone fatigues instead of the standard MkI two-tone

Huh. Somehow I missed the 1/3 update. How'd you do the facemask on your Master of Ordnance - GS? That's a pretty keen mask. Very Boba Fett.

Yep. GS and a lot of cursing trying to get it to keep shape . I actually did that mask on one of Shadowbrand's Vets when he was in town, and decided it looked cool. So I stole my own idea

And yea, I was like "There. All done... Aww damnit! Someone's going to make a Fett referance now."
