Thanks, nearly finished these first 5 and made some inroads to the next 5..

Skalk Bloodaxe wrote:^ what everyone else said. Stormtroopers are ace! Great job! Especially like the 'gem' effect on the eyes.

Thanks!, glad you lke em

Ministry!!! you say? Was AMR there and did it, therefore, turn out to be NIN?

Yes she was (with her new tiny Latina GF!, which was funny as Julian turned up....................) I think she's looking really well too..
I thought I was the only one who remembered that...as Jon/Luke/Henry didn't seem to register it, whilst I found it hilarious...
They were really good after the 1st hour of just playing new stuff that was very generic thrash really, they did 50 mins of Psalm 69 era stuff....which was awesome, there was moshing

Those ministry guys must be old by now.

Oh Yeah..

Still got about without zimmers however...

good to hear they still going, considering some bands they influenced have got old and stopped playing..more fire to those chaps.

They dropped off my radar with 'Filth Pig' (an album, not a 'practice') and not really missed em. They actually split in 2008 and reformed for the 'Relapse' album.

Doesn't seem like I missed much going by what I heard at the start of the gig, old stuff still sounds ace however.

S'up

Finished the 1st 5 of these puppies...







Did some heat damage on the flamer here, washes of Liche Purple, Regal Blue, Brass and then Black.



Logo's done, 'The Corps is Mother, The Corps is Father'...



Group shot, the other shoulder pad has the number '71' (it's easy to paint!), it's in numbers instead of numerals to differentiate from the grunts as these guys are supposed to be Inquisitorial Stormies..

Still a way to go on the remainder...

See ya soon..

Sweeet! Like the pads on those guys.

I will also write down that heat damage method. I may want to use it later.

Wow... this is some mind blowing stuff, well done

Thanks, I think more than one wash of each is best, let them dry fully as well, I didn't do either of these things....and might revisit..

High Praise, thanks a lot!

I demand that your Primaris Psyker looks like Walter Koenig.

I demand reduced price in GW mini's!

I was thinking of doing a 'Master of the Fleet' as him, spiffy uniform and a PPG, I think the rules would suit his behind the scenes machinations better than blowing stuff up..are there any 'Not
Bestor' models already out there?

I'll see what pressure I can bring to bear on GW.....

No real B:5 minis I'm aware of, other than starships and starfighters.

Bah,

I had a quick look on Hasslefree, whom I thought would be the likeliest contender but no dice...

Troops are looking good. keep it up!

Yes, I remember AM shouting 'MINISTRY!!!!' on a squidgy black night in The Venue, it was you and me sipping pints as I recall, and that hot bisexual girl with long blonde hair who's name I've forgotten (ellie maybe?), who's face I ended up eating at the end of the night. If the others were about, they were on the dancefloor when it happened.


that freehand logo is looking boss, did you outline with black or is is all black and then again with the gold over the top?


Also, apparently Harlequin Miniatures did a B5 range, heres a pic of some.


http://www.oocities.org/babylon_5_toys/harlequin/index.html

Very out of date pages though, although I seem to remember Black Tree Design bought many of the casts, let me know and I can ask Dean about it.

Ellie Sunshine *sigh*...

Yes ask about Bestor as the model looks nice (from what I can make out from that tiny pic) I had a look on eBay but nada...

I painted the symbol in black and filled in the gold, drew the line at shading the said gold however..

I've just read through the whole thread, and you have some really nice stuff going on! I admire your GS work, as I am just starting out with it. Do you have any tips? Anyway, I have subscribed. Definitely looking forward to more of this! By the way, I love the converted Commissar! Do you know if he has committed any executions yet?

Also, you seem to be one of a few Imperial Guard generals left that don't field their veteran armies in Chimeras with melta-guns. I respect that.
Kudos to your Sir. *salutes*

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

With GS i'd say just practice really. 2 good points however:

Leave it for a while (5-10 mins based on ambient temp) once mixed as it'll be super sticky and hard to work with.

Make sure whatever you're sculpting with is wet so the GS doesn't just stick to it. You can (and I do) get sets of tools but I do 90% of mine with just a scalpel balde.

I've rebased said Commissar now I'll try to get some pics up when I get the chance, I think he's only capped 1 Sarg so far, *fingers crossed* Ld 9 is pretty good and when near a standard you can use that re-roll instead

Thanks for the kudos, I really dislike that whole mech vet thing, IG should be about big Infantry formations backed up with some scary (but inaccurate) tanks and specialists (snipers, mounted vets etc) all watched over by Commissars...

Anyhoo *Salutes Back*

Thanks for the reply. The GS tips should come in handy here and there! ... When it comes to the Commissar, only one?; not bad.
I quite agree with you, when it comes to the structure of your army. It fits much better with the Guard fluff and image. After all, it is said that they expend lives at the same rate as they do so with ammunition!

I'm taking a basic GS class at GenCon, because the stickiness drives me nuts and takes forever and pisses me off because I don't know what I am doing with GS

I guess Rivets are more you're speed?

Certainly isn't slowing you down, your stuff looks great.
I'd be interested what they tell you at the class, let me know if you can be arsed

Np man...I will do so.

Cool dude.

looks like Three Stage Studios are ripping me off. I still haven't receive the 'replacement' dispatch either and sent another email asking about refunds and now ominous silence :(
It was only $20 or so at least...

There was a thread about his shop on Dakka and it seemed pretty split between people happy with his service or really not.

So it seems like I'm in the market for some track bogies again..pity as the nicest I've seen were by 3SS.

Zinge do a nice set of build it yourself ones but I want 6 sets which would be £60 from them!? I'd rather have a Baneblade thanks...

http://www.freewebstore.org/Zinge-Industries/Modular_Tank_Tracks/cat658642_929443.aspx

Ramshackle do some nice ish sets too, I'm looking at 'Track 2' which would be a more reasonable £10 or the 'Grendal' at only £7!

http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25_43

Know of any other contenders?

Sorry to hear you might be ripped off. That's a horrible feeling regardless of how much you spent. It looks like I might have to contact eBay for the first time in 3 years, item isn't showing up and seller isn't responding.

I understand that life happens and things can get a bit out of control so I always try to offer the benefit of doubt for as long as possible. But not responding to any inquiry? That's just bad business practice.

You are right, for the price perhaps a Baneblade kit would be your best option. You'd have lots of nice bitz left over for sure...

Yeah it sucks, I'll send one more email asking for a refund (it's past time for a paypal escalation) then write it off and bad mouth him all over the internet

But my loss is Ramshackle's gain, I ordered 3 sets of these track bogies...



They look a bit well ramshackle but I think they'll still be ok for guard. I plan to make a version of Rapiers (mount a lascannon between then) and then use them as a Lascannon battery..



I also noticed this little beauty and couldn't resist it, only £7!, I thought it'd make a sweet little Salamander scout car...

So we'll see if these guys deliver!

I like the look of the GNU assault carrier for use as a chimera.

youve got to be kidding me.. you got that car for £7!?! If it turns out to be a good kit, I think I'm going to pick some up, those look easily convertible to 40k style!

They need a little cleaning work mind but most of their stuff is quite cheap, their resin always looks sticky to me
