Haha! Thanks!

Yeah the scale is a little overwhelming, but Ｉguess thats what happens when you play for 20 years >.<

This week I should have some time to finally put some more paint on my titan..... I just have to get my airbrush working!

Got my airbrush working, It was a plugged air passage that paint had found it's way into.

I got a lot done in the last 2 weeks and will be updating this thread as soon as I have time

Well here goes nothing! I figured I would at least get started on my update of what I have done over the last 2 weeks.

I finally got my airbrush working again! I found a blocked air passage and once I cleaned the thinner than a hair layer of paint off of it the brush worked like it was new!
Now that I know where the problem is I can clean it while I work as I notice the air pressure falling off!
I was also able to crank the PSI down quite a bit and still get the same coverage.



That airbrush stand was the best $25 ebay purchase ever!

I managed to slam out a whole pile of my Aurora Chapter







Here is what I banged out in 2 sittings:



I also base coated all of this but didn't take a picture of it before I put it back on the shelf



Here is what my Aurora Chapter looks like on the shelf now.... Me thinks it needs a bigger shelf!




That's it for now... I have a lot more to update but my lunch break is over!

It's great to see that you had some quality time to get stuff done. But you got a lot more done than I did.

I need to get more painted.

I also had some time to dig through my bitz boxes and put a few models togeather that have made it out the other end of the *dip* or have been sitting around waiting for some love:

Old plastic PM



And a few of his friends that will form another PM squad



I assembled some havocs, and the ever iconic DA's captain that graced the cover of so many books back in the day



Some aspiring champs /w power fists and a few random marines



I love this old Sorceror on DIsk. The backpack is an addition of course



His friend the lord of change (minus one part that must still be in the dip)



And finally the start of my Necromuda Gang. They will probably eventually double as Traitor guard, but regardless they are going to be fun to muck around with



I know everyone wants a big warhound update, but I haven't had the time to sit down and work on it. I have however started scheaming about how I am going to do interchangeable arms



The next time I'm at home I'm going to tackle this! Hopefully the results are as great as they look in my head!

I also decided what I am going to do with my Primarch Models. I've had the idea for a while that I want to make them look like they are on stands being projected as holograms.
I'm going to bulid the stands for them and then start using them as objective markers




I still have some battle pictures to post here, but that's it for the painting and modelling for the moment. I have a couple tanks with me at work that I will post pictures of but nothing exciting

Thanks for looking!

Haha! I was just getting into a great P&M groove and then I had to go back to work >.< Hopefully I can fall back into it when I get home!

The OOP plastic Plague Marines look interesting.

I always knew the Dark Angels would hang out with traitors.

The Necromunda gang and the primarchs look like cool projects too.

Oddly enough I actually have a whole squad of *fallen angels* to build for Cypher's retinue

I wonder if Cypher will make an appearance in 6th...

The necromunda gang is sort of a backburner thing. I played a few games a couple months back and really liked it so I figured I would build a few gangers with modular arms and have some fun with it

Maybe I'll get around to posting some battle pictures today

Just got back into the flow of things and thought i'd check in with some familiar faces!

All looking rather fan-dabby-dosey in here! Loving the battle reports!

Also very keen to see some more pics of the Warhound.

Also, regarding the tau FW drones. Which book are the rules in for those? I have the FW Apoc books but they're not in those! Any info would be greatly appriciated as I was looking to get some for my own tau!

I actually had to look it up! Apparently the rules for the Tau special drones are in IA 3 : THE TAROS CAMPAIGN

The particular ones I bought are Marker drones and are actually in the Tau codex They look extremely huge next to standard GW drones lol.

I'm very keen to make some more pics of the warhound! When I get home in 10 days it will be my first modelling priority!

Always nice to see returning faces in here! Thanks for the visit and stay tuned!

My latest conversion:



The Chaos Rhino Tower of Vindication! Cower in all it's glory!..... Or was this an Ork invention?...

I think we need to schedule you for an appointment with a "specialist" to talk about your "conversion".

What else would you expect a man to do when he's stuck in the bush alone with 6 freshly built tanks?

I just don't want to be anywhere near it the first time it fires lol.

Blood is blood in the eyes of the blood god

If you stand near it it may do him service

So I figured I owed Dakka the battle report I promised.

The details are a little fuzzy now but there are lots of pictures so hopefully that makes up for it


The Skinny:

4 player game, randomly rolled teams, each player brought 1850pts to the game.

I brought my Chaos to the table, my brother brought out his Orks, and 2 friends brought grey knights and Necrons.

after the random roll it was Chaos + Orks vs. Necrons + Grey Knights

We played a capture and hold scenario with 4+d3 points. a 5 was rolled so 7 points were placed

Long table side deployment was chosen with a 24" dead mans land

Roll to go first/deploy first was won by the Chaos/Ork team and forces were deployed:



Much of the necron force was deployed in reserve and initiative was not seized

A few shots of the key points at deployment:









Orks and Chaos push forward led by a battlewagon and stormboyz



The other end





After an uneventful first turn the counter strike comes



end of turn 1, after we got back from a food run.



Boyz clash with scarabs after they have their truck eaten



eep (typhus is an objective marker. all of the markers are neat miniatures)



Some death cult assassins come out to play along with their shield bearing friends



Scarabs clash with Kans



Stormboyz get Stormed



End of turn 2



Power weapons prevail



Necrons start to pop up



A demon prince breaks through to the other side



an overview



Necrons come to play in the bushes



Unfortunnately from here on in the game got really intense and I didn't take enough pictures

Here is the table at the end of the game







Post Battle discussion



Chaos and Orks were victorious! We took the center of the table and managed to push back into their ranks for the entire game. Us forcing them to be on he defensive allowed us to control the flow of the game and gave us a definitive victory!

*wipes forehead* Hope everyone enjoyed that!

I blinked and it was over.

Congrats on the victory! Looks like your group are definitely players not painters...yet.

The GK Player has a fully painted SoB army, but has been playing GK's because it's the only way he can fiels his inquisitorial army right now.

My bro is new to the game and is painting away all the time, 6 months and he'll be painted out.

The necron player also has a fully painted army except for the new codex stuff.

But yeah, we enjoy playing too much to let painting stop us form doing it.

I really have to get on finishing my 2500pt army >.<

I'm going to be on to project *finish spikey bitz on tanks and base coat all tanks* the next time I'm home from work.

What is it with all man caves having wood paneling on the walls LOL

It's the only room in the house that nobody forces us to renovate??

I need more shelving lol

I'm jelly of your vindication tower and titan. Mostly your tower though.

It is a pretty tall tower.... I can't wait to get home tomorrow and start in on the spikey bitz!

They look sort of Ultramar-y right now.

Though the stacking makes me think of Imperial Fists for some reason.

Quick! Kill the loyalist! His mouth attempts to preach the emperor's name!

No. Just no. I was going to say that it could be a Plague Tower, but... no. Just no.

You and what army (besides the 23000 points of Chaos)!!

Looking forward to the pointy bitz. Vegas is betting that you stab yourself in the hand at least 19 times with the points.

haha~ Maybe I should use them to play JENGA instead.....

I think the odds are better that 93 of the spikes break off the first time I transport the tanks anywhere at least that's where I'm putting my money!

Man, Logg_frogg, you have quite the "Workbench" laid out in front of you. More like a factory than a workbench, given the number of mini's you have. I'll be following your thread. Came here thanks to this:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/150/255352.page#3827601

Glad I did. Excited to see your chaos army grow.

Oh, and that tower rules. Skalk's just jealous he didn't think of it first.

Thanks for the visit! I'm going to be happy to see my army grow in colour

... I could go overboard and build a LR tower when I get home....

I will be following you now, as well. So much good stuff to see you paint! Abbadon turned out great, and Warhound will be immensely fun to watch.

The Tower of Vindication... My orky side is quivering at the awesome!

One of the first pics, I see you have a Gorkamorka box... I loved that game back in the day, tons of fun.

Also very much liking the beer fridge in the cave. Or are there two fridges?

SO MUCH AWESOME GOING ON HERE! That titan is SICK! Great stuff man.
