Glad you are back, I did have my doubts when you disappeared! All the best with this, can't blame you for getting side-tracked by some Tau

I do have to Admit that I never want to have to put together another battle suit again lol

Haha, there is a finesse to that.

Update:

Currently on trial and error portion of the battle board creation.

I have tossed three failures of curved green Insulation foam so far. I am getting a little frustrated with these failures. I have 20 days to build and paint it and I am still messing up... I need a beer...

I have enjoyed watching this build. Sometimes it take a short break to gather your ideas. It'll happen..

I'll be lurking to see how this goes!

SL

I've been lurking in this blog for a while and your work is impressive. Hey, life happens. Get the important stuff sorted and you can get back to painting later.

Now on number four

Feeling this will be the one

Thank guys

Theorius, the armies on parade is on June 29th at the Games-workshop Cottman Avenue store in Philadelphia Pa. I am mainly doing this for the stores Qualifier. I will not be going to the finals at games day if I win due to funds... I have none lol

This army is not being sold after the competition. This is being created for the awareness of a good cause. I intend to create a blog each year for armies on parade to represent a good charity. I do not intent to profit on these charity armies.

I do sometimes take on paint or modeling commission jobs to fund the creation of these armies

Looking really good, the scale is breath taking, can't wait to see it all together!

No pictures up today. I am putting the watered down glue layer on all of the Insulation foam so when I prime it that foam will not be eaten away. It's thrilling to watch like grass growing

Eternalhero: You go to Cottman Ave? That's relatively near me. Does Mark still work there?

Mark is still there. The store is too small to game but I pick up my modeling stuff from there.

Subbed!

Hmm a slight Miscalculation

With 13 days left. I am hurrying this battle board and the finally touch ups on the models as best as I can.

I apologies to all of the subscribes that I was not able to complete the amount of models that I wished at the beginning of this project but I thank you all for being here at the end to see this through.

Trying to find a GW sand substitute. I don't have time to stop at the Coffman ave GW and my local hardware store was closed today. I will stop at petco tomorrow to pick up some fish tank sand. This will be the best I can do before I run out of time.

Ten days left and I feel that I maybe screwed

That is looking fantastic.

Well guys, I have 9 days left and I am currently freaking out a bit. I never did a battle board before so I am worryied about the amount of work left. I will be working on the top half tonight since it am currently out of paint for the bottom half. I may cut down on the detail a bit so I can complete the majority of the project on time. I wish I could do more but it was my fault that this is now down to the wire.

As all wothwhile projects are.. breathe in , breathe out.. repeat… then paint…

Looking good!

8 days left. Yesterday, I went to GW store and purchased some paints, glue, and propellant for my spray gun. This tool is what is going to save me for this project. I will be finishing up the top half for the battle board. Please note the this battle board in suppose to be a long abandoned imperial fort, the colors are not going to be the same as the army itself.

I hope people have been enjoying the blog so far.

I want to give you guys the back story of the imperial fort so that you will understand the reason why I have painted it in black and red instead of the army army colors of the sister,, grey and pink.

The lost fort is on the desert planet of Achillia Prime. The forts creator was the Black Templar. The fort itself was created for unknown purpose ( like the Templar would tell you). The fort has been Abandoned for over 200 years; however, the imperial guard on the planet, Achillian Gaurd, have strong ties to the secretive chapter.

Now a Chaos has Conquests across the stars to the Achillia sector. A Imperial Crusade of Imperial forces, Black Templar, and Sister of Battle lead by Saint Katherine are now bringing the Achillian sector back to the Imperial fold.

I should have the battle board completed tonight if I am lucky. I will keep you all up to date.

Ok almost done

Just gone through this whole thread. Very very impressed with what you've done.

The battle board is great, probably a really simple answer but what did you use for the 'bricks'? I've been planning on making a piece of terrain kind of like that for ages now!

Good luck with Armies on Parade!!

I purchased styrofoam "project bricks" sold at michael's. that's are pre prepped bricks that will not melt if painted on.
