The battle for this (which, I am told, has been upped to 38k per side!) is going to be a featured Video Battle Report on the front page of BoLS. This will happen about a week or two after the actual game. I and the guys at Phoenix Games in Buford, Georgia will be sponsoring the event. There will be 76000 points on the board, all fully painted! I'll definitely post a link as soon as it's up.

Wow, love the hellhound conversion, any chance you'll tell us how you made the turret?

No Prob! I build this back in the days when the turret and bits for the hellhound were still made of Pewter. I didn't want to spend the money on a separate kit, and had an extra chimera handy, so I built the chimera, converted the turret with a bunch of little fuel tanks and a heavy flamer, filed off the lasgun mounts on the hull, and added a bunch of barrels to it. With an odd and end there, that's pretty much it.

And...Here is the finished Hellhound! Also, a pic of what's to come...

Heavy Artillery is swarming! Colonel Cannonade rubs his hands with glee and chuckles as a Manticore assumes the position. There are rumbles in the ether, now, that a Local Hero is coming to join the company for it's deployment!
As it stands, the total is: 3520.
A little more protection is on the way...

Looking Good Ant.

Very anti Tau! Lol!

I hate the damn Tau! They deserve everything that happens to them.....everything BAD that is!

Man, you certainly are pumping them out! Though, one complaint: all your eyes you have painted so far are pretty large and goofy looking. Better no eyes at all then big silly eyes that detract from the model.

_Tim?

I like that paintscheme and your paintskills are pretty amazing too. I like this blog afterall and those artillery pieces are quite fantastic!

Keep on going!

Ahhhh. Back from the Super Bowl weekend, and the Machine is rolling without a hitch! The Tovarin 3rd Fusiliers are complete! With the Hydra taking its place on the line, ready to crawl all over those pesky fliers, Colonel Cannonade's Force is ready! However, all is not finished. The good colonel has been talking quite effectively with the Governor's command, and at his request, another local hero is coming to join the Taskforce! His reputation is known all over the world, and should he deem the mission worth his participation, he will be bringing a massive punch with him! More soon...

And he has arrived! Major Gideon Fracas, with his 60 ton box of death! He has at his command an entire company of Leman Russ Tanks, which will be arriving over the next couple of days.

I have to say this blog is a great read and put most of us to shame at the speed they are being produced. Really like that magnetic table. Must be satisfying seeing it filling up with each passing day.

It is. It will be sad to see it all go when it sells.

Out of interest (and I don't mind if you don't want to answer) how much do you charge for painting an army like this to this standard? You can PM me if you want or you might see it as advertising your services!?

Nice! Every time I look at Imperial Guard tanks, especially the Forge World stuff, I have a serious urge to collect an IG force...now that would certainly make my wallet hate me.

DO YOU HAVE A LIFE!?!
In all seriousness, this is quite impressive.

Actually, this is my full-time job. I am doing this as spec to sell on ebay, but I also have a couple commissions going. (Nowhere near this size, but there you are) I usually spend about 9-10 hours a day painting and doing biz.
And now!!!! Major Fracas has directed his first platoon onto the field!
This brings the total to: 4120 I think I'm seeing the downhill slope of this!
@Reaper-Man: PM Sent

Very Good, very good. It looks like my IG Meat shields are progressing nicely.

Its too bad that all those tanks are going to get blown up by the Equus Proditor

Not if you do your damn job.

Commisar Cestus is beside himself! When Major Fracas arrived, ALSO looking very similar to another hero of the Imperium, the good Commisar flipped his lid. Marching up to Fracas' Russ, he demanded to know why even his SCAR was almost a perfect duplicate of the aforementioned hero!
In response, the Major made a small gesture with his hand, and the second platoon of Leman Russes trundled onto the parade field.
The platoon command tank made a slight 'miscalculation' in its drive path, and 'accidentally' bumped against the good commisar, crushing his power fist!
As the commissar made preparations to 'Find Wanting' the tank commander, the second Leman Russ, following the first, also 'accidentally' bumped into the good commissar, smashing his bolt pistol!
Needless to say, the good commissar stormed off to the munitorum to file an official report, and to replace his armament. Time will tell when the showdown will come...

Boy you had better instill some gdamn discipline in the ranks of your minions. Your allies have foreseen many failed morale saves on account of fragile egos.

That being said, I need to see the overall army

I AM a bit worried about discipline. My whole army might be paralyzed with laughter when they see the ranks of fairy coneheads prancing across the field. Just make sure you point your pointies downrange, and brightlance those titans.

To everyone else, I apologise sincerely for the distraction my minion is causing on this thread. He is simply excited about the massive amount of pwning we will be doing at the Apoc game.

Tomorrow, the final Russes...

Well, everyone, I have come to the end of the Standard Codex part of my army. The points are now at 5380. There are only 3 models left to go...

You are a freakin' Baneblade. You ARE a freakin' Baneblade! Good gawd man well done!

"only three models left to paint", Yeah, probably just a commander or tw... Three Baneblades!!!

You have only just painted up my dream IG army that will take me 3 years to build, convert and paint I needs to get me some diposable income!

I was not surprised they were baneblades. I mean what else could they be! Really looking forward to seeing them finalised.

Wow.. Just wow. Kudos to you good sir.

I spy a Hydra Flak Tank. That's something you don't see often enough. I wish there were a way to make one that was easy and struck my fancy...
Sigh...
I'll have to make one the hard way. I just think the interceptor turret looks sorta silly.

Finally, after finishing up almost all of my other commissions due this weekend, I have finished the first 'Blade!
