I haven't got much paint time in but did some modeling on the second squad , umm can we say awesome street sweeper shot gun complete with drum clip .

This is the point where I usually demand pictures or souls will be eaten. And this is no different!!

pictures will come soon on a little vacation at my sisters =^/ .

well back from my trip and ready to get back into this , I have to work on some comission work as well ( look out for that blog as well ) , but iam going to try and keep some sort of pace on my IG at least 2 hrs a day .

this si a really great project, and i love the ivory effect you give to the lasguns

Been super busy and only been getting in little tid bits of work but I managed to bang out another vet with a little bonus on the base that adds some more flavor to the unit .

I will post up pics tomorrow while Iam slammin down a bowl of fruity pebbles or alphabets with marshmellow goodness .

Also my camera is full my little one is starting to crawl and sit alone so its pic central .

YES, PICTURES! Stop with the eating of the fruity-goodness and get to the posting!

Congrats on your little one, isn't it neat? My 17 month old son is getting talkative and it is always interesting to see how they learn.

well I know pics are in order but iam off to well ummm destroy some orks and other xenos scumbags . Tonight .

OK OK , finally an update sorry kept getting sidetracked like the other night when I was suppose to update after the game , someon had the awesome idea to see district 9 and Iam glade I went to see it cause it was awesome . antway to the update .





Jake " Fyce " Ronen was brought up pretty much in the rich part of town coming from a very wealthy family which helped him attend the best schools and obtain the best education money can buy , but money in Cadia cant buy one thing , a pass from serving in the military well it can but his father being a war hero would never even think of that as an option and truth be told Fyce was looking forward to his service . Money was able to buy him a spot in the vetted storm trooper platoon though .

Fyce had a wit for making anything that can go boom he also had a wit for finding and setting up traps with his explosive devices , Fyce served with the 223rd storm trooper platoon for 7 years and was given an emperors seal for locating and deactivating a large explosive device under Cadia General hospital and saving the lives within and also being able to trace where the explosive was made , leading to the take down of the trader scum that built and set the device . Fyce was approached by a commissar on the day of his award ceremony and has been with the Iron vets ever since . On his first mission out the squad came across a dog impaled on a barbed wire fence Fyce had a weekness for the site of him and refused to leave him there , after a few words and a fist fight with the sgt. later it was decided that the dog would be bandaged up and hidden for extraction on the way back from the mission at hand , from then on Sec had become a member of the iron vet squad as well . Sec being short for the Cadian word Amasec Which is a strong alcoholic beverage distilled from wine which the mangy mutt seams to love . Sec has proved himself time and time agian by helping Fyce search out booby traps at extremely fast rate .

Fyce was givin his name by Chef just like everyone else in the iron vets Fyce came from the word fyceline the main chemical in explosives , Fyce also made a custome upgrade to his shotgun being able to launch small rocket like grenades from the barrel of his shotgun ( like the grenade used to launch from m1's in WW2 ) .

A sneak peak at the second iron vet squad , with awesome street sweeper automatic shotgun !

Jeebus Fethballs Slann! these guys never cease to impress me! It was certainly worth the wait. One question: How do you get your elbow/knee/wrist pads coming out so clean and sharp? I tried to add some to my recce team but they kept getting mucked up while I was manipulating the GS. Could you add a little mini tutorial?

hey thanks man , I just noticed I had the first pic twice I fixed it and added the side angle .

As for a mini tutorial I should be able to do that .

That dog is flippin sweet... did you sculpt it or is it from a miniature range?

Its from the bretonian archer sprue .

Again, nice work. These are very, very nice!

The photo quality isn't amazing though, what sort of camera are you using? Does it have a macro zoom?

Plus you could really benefit from some simple post-processing such as auto-contrasing and auto-colouring. Does this example look more like it does in real life?



Also, I have stolen your idea for necron heads. Gonna add some gasmasak filters and shove them on Elysian bodies for my valkyrie drop-troopers

I agree, the necron heads really do capture the "Army of Two" look.

I'll have to look for that Bretonian dog. Thanks!

@infilTRAITOR - thanks bud , I ment to do that just posted them in a hurry as I was abouit to head out for the day , I went in and cleaned them up a bit .

@fox yeah they also have the feel of that dude in the new GI Joe movie I refuse to see .

A new GI Joe movie? HERESY! It must BURN!

Here is some of my inspiration , how can you not love these guy.

wow my pants need changing i love your guard man

That is some sexy tasty-cake. They are amongst the vety-ist vets I have ever seen. I am ashamed at my own lack of vet-ness, and must purgate myself. Or maybe I'll just steal some of your ideas and rock the tabletop in epic vet fashion.

Seriously, those are some models I would be proud to have drop from a valk and hand deliver the hurt to my opponents (I don't even think they'd be mad about it).

I love the chimera! did you just use cutouts for the kasrakin camo pattern? or did you paint it on freehand?
also i love your army of two(10)

@ red - thanks tis truly awesome to have them pop out of a valk and toss a demo charge on some marines or melta gun a tank .

@ennkay - thanks a lot , the pattern s free hand have since neatened it made the lines a little sharper .

These are awesome. I've certainly stolen tonnes of these ideas. Haha.

Would these vets be from a group called trans-world operations?

Been busy working on a commission which comes before getting my stuff done , but Iam setting aside at least an hour a night to work on my guard while Iam working this commission to keep at least some progress going .

Tonight after working on some eldar tanks for that commission I thought might as well get that vanquisher conversion done I been putting off .

Here is my vanquisher complete with a knight commander Pask .

Arm him with a sword,that way they can dive him closer so that he can..um..hit them with a sword!

As for the army of two inspired imperial guardsman,AWESOME SAUCE!

hey is the vanquisher worth the use in a under 1500 point army? seeming its only 1 shot slug in the new rules, i love the paint scheme you give these guys keep it up man

With pask I love ths tank it takes out at last 2 big tanks a game , its a melta gun from 72 inches away with a las cannon back up , and in kill points it usually takes out a few tanks and lives unlike a melta aquad . I feel Pask is the key to making it work though .

in a 1500 point game I would take one vanquisher with pask and 2 russes , I probably would cut a valk before I cut my tanks .

I run pask in a vanquisher with las and hb sponsons a guy at my flgs plays bugs and his hive tyrant hasn't lived past the 3rd turn I really need a tyrant head for my trophy rack.

That vanq is great. The track armour is rather good looking. That's something for me to steal!

Yes... we will all need new ideas for trackguards now that GW wants us to pay more money for them... Are yours made from regular card or plasticard? Any plans for rivets or are they going to stay like that?
