So was it scary leaving the house without your rebreather?

I lucked out when I found mine , but a cheap way might be to pick up poorly painted necrons and cut them up .

I'm gonna have to do that. Seen a few cheapies on eBay I may bastardise.

i would grow a beard, but it grows in tufts...

Err...thanks

Flinty wrote:So was it scary leaving the house without your rebreather?

Unbelievably so. Wasn't allowed to wear anything cool to the wedding

UPDATE!!

It's a laughable one, really. All I have are these, I do have some time to paint now so the ball should get rolling again soon.


Base for the sniper I painted almost two weeks ago


Valkyrie WiP. Waiting for my gf to go home and grab her blue wash so I can finish the windows.

Ahh the "duties" of real life... they always invade our modelling and gaming time!

My projects are going on hold now for a little bit as I'll be getting married myself next week! The In laws will also be with us for the next 10 days so my airbrush and compressor will get hidden away in a cupboard!

Great work as always though and I agree with Get to the Chopper that the sniper is a great figure with brilliant pose and character.

Agreed that nasty thing called,"life" gets in the way too often for my liking.As for the blog,coming along well I love it it's very original,can't wait to see more.

fellow traitor, you might be in luck! the heads are basically the only thing i don't use from the necron kit. drop me a pm if you are still interested.

To quote a certain Luke Skywalker: "But with the blast shield down I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?"

Sorry couldn't resist. I still think it will look awesome when its done though (I'm guessing roughly the same colours as a Messerschmitt 109 right?)

Its a shame about the windows, but the rest of the detailing on the Valkyrie is really nice. If I could venture a recommendation though for the weathering. I saw one Valkyrie offering a while back where all the weathering was done from front to back re-creating a sort of slipstream effect. It looked rather neat (I didn't use it thought because I'm too lazy to weather ).

I think painting the windows isnt a bad I dea if you dont want to spend time painting the crew , also allows you to use those bits for other things , which in a traitor guard army can come in handy . also the windows tend to fog up over time on a lot of cases .

Real life duties can kiss my hairy behind now! You should say the same thing to your in-laws. Do it!

I painted the windows for a number of reasons, someone has touched on it in a later post so I shall answer it there. But I will whack you a PM shortly, just got some monitory issues to work out with the bank. Stealing my sh!t, they don't know who they're messin' with!

Yep, the BF109 is to be my muse with this piece.

I've not even started on the weathering yet All that you see is the basecoat.

There you go. I wanted the bits for my guardsmen. Plus, I like the idea of not being able to see the crew as it makes it a little more sinister.

Just painting the interior at the moment. More pictures to come!

This is looking really good atm, very nice army and very inspirational. Well done!

Many thanks. When do we get to see some of your Renegades?

I'm off to a farmsted tonight where I hope to be able to finish basecoating the Valk. Ifeel mean for the lack of updates so here's something to tease you while I'm away tonight.

Lol is that a decaying airfix car ? Jaguar E-Type? Triumph something or another?

I think it's a Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. It's one of them £1.99 kits that your auntie always thinks would make a good Christmas present. I can't remember when I got it but I've been wanting to destroy it for a long time.

Haha, Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag drivers Anyway These are looking great as usual, and the Valkyrie nose is looking good too, I hope we will be seeing some nose art on there at some point .

Damn straight!

Liking the simple objective! (i presume)

infilTRAITOR wrote:When do we get to see some of your Renegades?

I might do a blog sometime soon, but they're kinda on the backburner atm as i got a nid army and an Imp. Fists blog here, check it out (shameless plug! links in my sig)

No nose art. Sorry.

Objective? I put two bases up there; one sniper and one valkyrie

I think what you meant to say was "I WILL do a blog sometime soon". If they're anything like your Fists, they'll be great.

Was rummaging through my bitz-corner and found out I have enough to make the following:

3x Lascannon teams
4x Mortar teams
2x Missile teams
2x Heavy bolter teams
2x Heavy stubber teams
2x Snipers

That's on top of what I have already (1x mortar, 1x autocannon, 2x missile launchers and 2x snipers). I've made one of the new mortar teams and done a base for a heavy bolter team. Also put together a lascannon with a shield (not GW standard).

I have my first proper game with these guys on Tuesday (I hope) at my local GW. Gotta get my paint on over this weekend. Will add pics on Sunday/Monday of minis and game pics on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Thanks a lot mate much apprciated!

D'oh, i was having a tupid moment , i also think i was half asleep .

Its a great base, but i cant help wondering why a jag would be in a battlefield, although i suppose, now that i think of it, its entirely plausible and feasible. You know what, just ignore that sentence altogether. Great base infilTRAITOR!!!!

lookin' great atm.

another question for the Mighty Infiltrator, Master of the Renegades: I was planning on doing a Renegade-style Death Korps of Krieg group, and later on some Cadians, and a few Catachans.

anyways, I was looking on FW and saw a Krieg set that had a bunch of guardsmen to put into a Gorgon. you think that could work for my Krieg unit? DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG - INFANTRY SQUADS FOR GORGON <<<that's what the set is called if you don't know wat I'm talking about.>

yet again inFIL, you inspire. I think I shall play with some rust effects...

Check this out.

O_O very nice!

It does look like an XJ 6



Which makes it sound like a Tau Battlesuit.

Hi! Great work! I'm impressed with your army (I was reading all your post/blog this morning)

Just read all the way through this thread, interesting army, suitably non-uniform as a renegade force should be!

The stand-out for me is the Aspiring Champion conversion, it's classic stuff. Well done!

I just wanted a wrecked civilian vehicle on my base and I just happened to have one.

The hardest part of that would be to get rid of the imperial iconography as it's small and horrid on the FW minis. Other than that, should work.

You're right, you know. As soon as you showed me that picture I remembered the box this model came in. I've kept it loose in a carrier bag for about ten years now

NEVAH!!!!!

And here's some more...

UPDATE!! Sort of.

I had planned on having my first game with these guys Tuesday just gone until I actually sat down and tried to work out a list to use. It's all well and good oogling the Vraks rules but it's not until you get out that pen and paper and have to decipher each little bit of rule that you realise 'hang on, am I going to have enough for this?' It turned out that I didn't. So, in an effort to see what I actually need to do - instead of milling around on odd projects - I've decided to take some snaps of each squad/vehicle I want to include in my list so I can see the gaps and what needs tidying up. I'm hoping to get it all done by Tuesday but I very much doubt I will.

Headquarters



1x Exalted Champion - Plasma Pistol, Carapace Armour, Bionics and Master Crafted Weapon
4x Bodyguard - Carapace Armour, 3x Boltguns (No hellguns in Vraks list :( ), 1x Voxpack and 1x Flamer

Fast Attack

Also, I would appreciate it if you would look at my gallery to vote and leave comments on individual pieces. I have noticed that someone has taken the liberty to down-vote a lot of my things so I must've annoyed someone somewhere. Also, it has come to my attention that someone has been passing off my work as their own on the internet. I only post my stuff onto here, Facebook and the Miniature Wargames Union forum. If you come across my stuff could you kindly let me know as I would like to read the feedback given elsewhere - and to embarrass the culprit.

Many thanks for looking!

When you find that link and those stolen images, make them public here.

We Dakkites will unleash a nerdrage firestorm so terrifying even God will turn his face away in fear...

First off the Valkyrie base just looks totally awesome. As do all the finished models in the individual troop/vehicle entries. This being my favourite squad:



Second, it looks like you have alot of infantry/heavy weapon teams to finish, so best of luck with that.

I'll go check out/vote on your gallery in due course.

And lastly if I find the fiend who is masquerading your work as his own I will alert you..
