Coming Soon to a City Near You ...

Well I have been greatly motivated by all the great blogs I have read on here. I have been a lurker on here for quite some time and only recently joined. And now I have decided to get off my but and get my army finished up. I am more of an avid collector then anything, as I have very little time to actually play. I drive a truck for a living through the week, and have 7 kids and 4 grandkids that usurp my time (not to mention my husbandly duties and honey-do lists lol). I have vowed to myself to get this done as I love the thought of having a well painted army to love and admire, even if it is just upon a shelf in my future game room

First a very poor quality pic of the army as it stands now. I promise to get /find my better camera and see how that does. This is not the completed army, as I am missing a few things to make it "my ideal" force, and I will list those after the pics.



Next up is my Command Squad led by Commisar Yarrick, the Standard bearer is a pure GS sculpt I bought off of Ebay, a true one of a kind find!



My Veterans, I am using my Arbite forces for these. I actually have 4 full 10 man squads. I plan on putting them in FW Repressors, as anything else just seems sacreligious to the Arbite Image. The Squad Leader on the left is a conversion using the the Emp's Champ and the Combi-bolter from the scout biker sqd. I'll post a closeup if anyone wants one.



My Valkyrie, 1 of 3 I plan on having for the army.



A scout sentinel squad, just love the way the look and myriad ways you can pose them.



Just a few of the many planned Leman Russ's, and 3 of the 14 Chimeras I am gonna need to make this a Mechanized force.



And my quick change Stormblade that can make just about any version that I need.



I still want/need to get (most will wait til after the holidays to get tho):

3 FW Enclosed Basilisks
2 Valkyries
2 Leman Russ's
11 Chimeras
and a Gorgon

I am wanting to add a right proper commander for them, as it really the one model the Steel Legion is really missing. I just need to find someone that can do GS modeling on commission, If anyone knows anyone or can point me in the right directio I would greatly appreciate it.

As I said I don't have alot of time, but I will paint something each week and get it posted ASAP, for the Dakka world's scrutiny and comments. I think with this great community's pushin I can get this done.

Thank you.

Ok, jere's a few better pics of my Arbites, mainly just to show off that maybe I can paint a little bit. LOL

My High Marshall conversion :





A regular Marshall:



And your general run of the mill troop types:



Hope they meet your approval

For commissioning you could talk to Dave Taylor, he takes them and I know there are some others on Dakka he's just the first name that pops into my head. Possibly even the guy who is making an all plastic Steel legion army.

Forgive my ignorance, but do you know how I could get a hold of Mr. Taylor?

Insaniak might eb another option - both Dave Taylor and insaniak are members of Dakka, thorneblade, and have one or more WIP threads on this forum.

I would go for a leviathan instead of the Gorgon. It carries about the same amount of troops but has more firepower.

Though a Leviathan would be a scratchbuild, while a Gorgon can be purchased.

True. But with the building kits that are out now it gets easier all the time. An Imperial sector and 3 Shrines of the Aquila, and some turret sprues. You have almost everything you need.

Ok, sorry about missing a weekend ... but hey it was Turkey Day weekend, lol. Some how I get wrangled into cooking the turkey every year. I was beat though, had to drive almost 24 hours just to make it home in time. I did manage to get something painted that weekend, but it wasn't mine. My wife loves the Lord of the Rings movies and just had to have a Mumak, and so it became priority ONE (if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy).





Now first off I have to apologize for these pictures quality up front, they are slightly better than last time, but I still can't find my bloody tether for my good camera. Gonna try and borrow my brother-in-law's, maybe then you can see them in all their glory, lol. til then I got my Techpriest Engineseer squad done:





Finished my stand-in commander (Commisar Yarrick):





Finalized the general color scheme of my forces:





And someone asked to see my one of a kind Standard Bearer up closer (sorry still not good pic):





Thats it for this weekend, not alot I know but as I said the way of the road keeps me pretty dang busy .....
