Bud, I'd welcome a dedicated Paint day. Hell, a WEEKEND would be WONDERFUL!!!

Just let me know when you want to, and we'll get this goin!

New models? Soon? Plz! Im friggin desperate!

No updates for a bit, busy with training for position at school. Will resume regular updates ASAP.

Good luck with the training!!

Did you get your pipe making plates yet, I did and I'm happy with the result so far.

Lol not yet. I'm foaming at the mouth. BUT.... I did just place an order for an airbrush/compressor setup. So that will hopefully keep me busy till I get the rest of my orders in haha.

Got an airbrush! Check out pics and info in my GK Blog (can be found in signature)

AS for the Mongers.... Got 4 sets of the FW accessories (legs w/ cybernetic parts, cybernetic hands, etc)

AND got my second Achilles upgrade kit.

ANNNND Got my tube tool!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO USE MY NEW TOYS!!!

Cool!!! now you can add tubes to everything

Finaly uppdates! Yay!

Awesome man, I can't wait to see what you do with the piping

Have you considered including a Caestus Assault Ram in here? It's a great model and as long as you're doing lots of Forgeworld, it'd be a nice centerpiece.

/shameless plug, I haven't seen many Caestuses (Caestii?), and that's a damn shame.

tipios wrote:Cool!!! now you can add tubes to everything

YES! LOTS OF TUBES AND CHAIN!!!

Also, I've decided that I shall purchase the FW Contemptor Pattern Dread will serve as my Daemon Prince, and will be HUGELY modified.

MORE TO COME!!! DON'T WORRY!!!

I've got some ideas.... right now, deciding what to do to the already finished models. Feel like they need chain and tubing added........

I actually have never looked into that particular model. I know what you mean, and I agree that it would be sweet to have some of them in the army, but right now, I am trying, DESPERATELY might I add, to save my money until I get more work done on the Knights and the Mongers.

The Knights are the priority, as they have been neglected for FAR too long, and I have WAAAAAY too much stuff to finish.

BUT, thanks to my LOVELY new Airbrush, With a little bit of practice That problem will soon be alleviated, and then the Mongers will receive some of their much deserved attention.

But I DO have ideas still being worked on, so no worries there!

Hey I'm loving what youre doing with this army and its fluff funny thing is I came across your thread looking for threads on contemptors and thought I'd take a look. So I'll return the favor by saying awesome work, I also agree with the red for the bolters for it shows a connection with the mechanicum. Oh sad news the iron hounds died blame dawn of war I found a paint scheme I liked better.

If your still debating on the codex, id suggest chaos, especially plague marines. They dont seem to be able to feel pain, so there feel no pain rule and upped stats would be an amzing fit.
Also, read the fluff, love it! that, and i love the way you've built the models. keep up the good work!

These look really awesome, if you pick the eye lenses out they could be called done minus a chapter marking.

After a very extensive break, the Mongers are back with a vengeance!

WIP Conteptor Dread counts as Daemon Prince. Whaddya think?

oh it has been a while on this lovely army glad your back... even glader with what you brought with you

Rogue Wolves wrote:oh it has been a while on this lovely army glad your back... even glader with what you brought with you

Lol well, it's been a long road to getting productivity semi back under way for either army, but the GK's been taking point since I'm still doing a lot of thinking for the Mongers.

BUT there is a LOT to come, so don't worry!

ahh i remeber your GK if thats what your working on atm i'll have to take a look at that thread

Rogue Wolves wrote:ahh i remeber your GK if thats what your working on atm i'll have to take a look at that thread

Yup, right now looking for critiques of my last posts for both the GK blog and this one.

Any ideas for what else I might add?

if you mean for this dreadnaught i think little i mean LITTLE accents of smaller armored pads/corrigated sheets would look good, i'll get on microsoft paint to show you what i mean

I'm totally stealing that head idea for my Warsmith Contemptor.

Glad to be of assistance! Just be sure to link me a pic so I can admire the work!

Holy crap, this is incredible! Your mini's are beyond awesome, they're exactly what I've been hoping to achieve with mine! Something to aspire to!

Thanks. I wouldn't got that far, but I am trying to improve my abilities with this army.

Sweet, can't wait to see it painted

WELL, I have officially decided to look for some help haha.

Looking for a sculptor/modder to help make some Truescale bits. If anyone is interested, please check out my trade thread for details.

PM me if interested.


Beyond that, looking to get some work done and make some more standard marines later today at work. THANK GOD GROUP PROJECTS ARE OVER FOR NOW.

Beyond that, not much else going on.

I like how much effort you have put into you fluff as well, one thing i would say is it sounds a bit....Necrons meet Nids but i still like it.

EDIT:You may want this in Dakka P&M Blogs if you are planning on it being continuous, up to you.
Good luck regardless.

Sounds to me a bit like Cobra, Only better (they're Marines).
