those punishers look awsome... too bad an executioner is my tank of choice

Nice stuff man! BTW what are you going to use all of those brotaions for?

Flying Pooo - Thanks!

DiDDe - Thanks!

dsteingass - Thanks!

Rogue Wolves - Thanks! You my want to check the pics of that mega battle for pics of my 9 executioners

HAZZER - Thanks! I'm using them as Crusaders.

Well I figure GW Is just waiting for me to build my first thunderhawk before they release theirs (thus forcing me to turn mine into terrain). So I made a deal with the world a long time ago. When I finish an entire company of marines, that company will get a thunderhawk.
This has been so ingrained in my play group (GW waiting to screw me) that I have been asked to keep working on my marines. So I present to you the last piece of the 2nd company 9 Land speeders with magnetized underslung weapons.

Right now I'm waiting for the wash to dry (applied after the picture) then it'll be touch ups, flatten them, assemble, and base (which will be really dynamic).

You truly are a machine as dsteingass put it! You just pump out so many awesome miniatures in such small amounts of time.

OOh sweet! I love ultras man! those land speeders look suburb I'm considering buying 1 soon too! (And tactics you could give me)?

I also built some honor guard

Sorry foda I know this is from like page 3 but hw did you get those heads? Did you cast em? Or where can I get em from because it would be great if anouther suppily sold them. (Btw I know there GW heads).

wow thats alot of speeders! they look awsome

It is seriously amazing how much you get done, AND the paint jobs are good too! It's not like you're just slapping paint on them (unless you somehow figured out how to do that and still make it look great)
I'd love to see a pic of the whole 2nd company once you finish these last 9 speeders.

Then it's time to do enough thunderhawks for their rapid deployment from a battle barge

THEN it's time for a battle barge!

I think if anyone could do it, it would be you


(PS. and then finally gw will come out with a kit for thunderhawks)

Flying Pooo - Thanks!
HAZZER - I haven't used crusaders just built them. That page explains where the heads come from.
Rogue Wolves - Thanks!
Awesomesauce - Thanks! I have thought about a battle barge... it'll be a long way off. After my 2 StormBirds and other things

Well I primed the last of my basic infantry IG minis

When I put down some basic colors these will be ready for dipping along with all the other guardsmen. Then I'll be some quick highlights away from over a full company of infantry!

I built and Primed the last 2 dreads for the 3rd Company


Saturday after a game I noticed a small problem. Since GW makes so many Space Marines I hate having 2 of the same poses. Well it appears as if I have 2 of a certain librarian, so 1 must go!


You're opinion on which one?

And finally I built some bases for the speeders!

Nice looks great !

I like those speeder bases! And those old school librarians are super cool.

Keep both libys, you may use one for a futre army, because they won't go for much on eBay. The speeder bases look good too!

Why not just take the clippers to one of them and remove the axe? Maybe drill the fist and add in a force halberd instead. IIRC the left hand of those minis was plastic too, snap it off and chuck an arm that's posed/equipped differently. The guy on the right looks less completely so chose him I guess.

ghostmaker - Thanks!
Flying Pooo - Thanks!
HAZZER - I assure you I will not need them for Apoc. I have way too many models as is
Lennysmash - Thanks! That'll delay the 2nd company some more

Well those 2 dreads got some basic colors down


Then I broke out one of my bottles of old GW Ultramarines Blue Spray paint and did a few of those unpainted models (yeah I built and added more to the stack that were unphotographed)


And primed some more minis grey


I also went to the Astronomicon GT last weekend and took best terrain with my City fight table (link for those who haven't seen it)
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v314/Foda_Bett/40k/Scenery/Finished/?start=all

And won $200 in GW giftcards a raffle! I see 6 razorbacks in my future!

Well since I've left my job for hopefully greener pastures (closer if nothing else) I've got a nice week of freedom!
First thing I did was brush minwax on all the guardsmen and stormtroopers I've been working on.



Then I got the dreads ready for decals:


And finally painted the 6 terminators from my last priming batch:
3 Claw terminator sargents

2 TH/SS Terminators

Minor Huron Conversion

Nice work, are those Steel Legion in the box??? I have a pile of those models i am beginning to paint up for my combined Cadian Steel Legion force!!

niallkissick - Thanks! The majority are steel legion.
When GW previewed their 25th Anniversary model I thought it was nice but not something I wanted in my army. So I decided to make it an apoc objective! I ordered 2 from the online store and just happened to find 1 at a local GW. I was able to combine the 3 to make a rather terrible model (the other 2 nice ones will go in storage till I'm happy with their Ebay price), and painted it up like a copper statue.

I'll get a pic when the washes are dry.

I got the dreads decaled


I also sealed the guardsmen from the last post!
Steel legion



Assorted IG



Stormtroopers



And I built some corsairs to become death cult assassins

good stuff like always so how many company's of IG do you have now lol

That copper statue looks awesome! I love the idea of it
Also all the troppers look great too.

But I also noticed something in the foreground.. Why do you have 3 spitfire-boxes there? :O Are there more of them? I'd love to see some pics of them too! ;D God i love that aircraft!!

Keep up the great work!

You've got a 25th guy too? Sweet! I mange to get 2 on the 24th by the skin of my teeth! At my FLGS! But atm there going for about £40-50. I like the idea for an objective marker too! Was yours a miscast in anyway too? Liking the termines and guard too!

ghostmaker - Thanks! I now have 5 full platoons of steel legion (all infantry squads, special weapon squads, and heavy weapon squads) and I think this brings me up to 2-3 full platoons (minus heavy weapons) of mixed infantry.

DiDDe - Thanks! Actually there are 4 there, 2 hasegawa and 2 revell, there's also 3 of the new tamiya kits in my attic. My father and I are going to super detail them as an exercise in stretching my scratchbuilding skills

HAZZER - Thanks, I believe all of your questions are answered in my post.

Well before I started my new job I was able to get in a 20k a piece game against Spellbound.
My forces consisted of:
100 Purifiers
2nd Company of Ultramarines
3rd Company of Ultramarines
12 Drop podding dreads
6 Vindicare assassins
5 Callidus assassins
9 Leman russ exterminators
2 stompa hunter (sentinel company)
20 Legion of the damned
9 LandSpeeders
Baneblade
Stormblade

My Reserves:





My Northern Deployment





Northern Opposition




My Southern Deployment




Southern Opposition





My Central Deployment


Turn 1:
Northern Charge


Southern Charge


Turn 2
Northern Charge


Southern Charge



The game was a blast and came down to a Draw with him holding the southern objective, me holding the northern, and no one in the center.

ok, I have to ask..Why would GW's releasing of a plastic T-Hawk force you to use a scratchbuilt one as terrain?

dsteingass - because what ever GW came out with (even if mine was better) would be different from mine, and if I'm going to have multiples of a piece of armor I'm gpoing to have them matching.

Ahh, I see, you want that identical army look, gotcha

Being a Guard Player, I want mine to look like a collection of whatever they acquired over a long campaign during a crusade.

dsteingass - For my IG I prefer certain tanks to look identical. Since my guard are from Armageddon and Armageddon makes chimeras all my chimeras should be identical.

Last week I started painting some Veterans and was finally able to finish them off this weekend.







Then I got 4 Apothecaries painted up. The first robed guy is for the 3rd company.

lovley stuff there sir.
What materials do you use for you casting stuff?
because they are real clean casts?
Thank you and keep up great work.
Peace

spudkins - Thanks! I think you'll find a good explanation of the materials and steps in the 2nd or 3rd page of the titan thread.

Well I've been working on some black minis
Cassius and a Deathwatch Chaplain


2 Deathwatch Librarians (1 jump pack)


2 Chaplains


There are 3 other chaplains I'm working on as well but they're still drying.

Well I've been hard at work again and last night I finished off the last 5 black models!
Commissar and converted chaplain


Terminator and Normal Chaplains


Lemartes conversion


Callidus conversion


And I basecoated some tech marines


I also finaly got some pictures of the dried statue.

Well when I got home from work this evening I was able to finish off the tech marines. Next up will be some dreads I need for BoLS Con 2012

First up I basecoated and sealed some old school familiars


and a few servo skulls and purity seals


While waiting for those to be dry I was able to start weathering the land speeder bases




Next up was painting another statue this time the skullz Iwo Jima statue

Aww Dood! That is badass!!
