whoops page roll over anger

You may want to take a look at your post Fatty as I think you got hit by Page Rollover ...and I miss your mouse :(

I'll admit that I wasn't that big a fan of this Sternguard initially, but the addition of the tranquility pattern has changed my mind about it.

And that hat... it really ties the model together.

Oh you posted it alright ...see the first post on this page .

You were effected by "page rollover". There is a small trick in bypassing this -- to some extent. You can actually see the hidden posts if you are able to click the "Skip to first unread link" on the thread in question when in your "Subscribed" page. Of course, if you were the last one who posted, that feature wouldn't be available.

She does support a business, so it wouldn't hurt to simply ask her if she would be willing to part with that model for cash. She might say no, she might say yes.

Fixed that sorry everyone

hes looking great i like the colors on his face

The eyes... The eyes... Amazing work!

Here's the deal. I have a tournament on Nov. 5th & 6th and by then I need to finish the sternguard *and* two LS Storms, as well as keep making progress on my trades. When those two units are done, I'll give you an army shot.

Checked, too rich for my blood... but thanks for the tip. In general I think I have all the beakie stuff that I need... and then some.

I'm considering modeling a Santa hat in GS that can be added or removed from the model. It's just too funny a concept.

Thanks Rogue! Have been trying to work on my flesh tones.

OH, and so you guys don't think I'm just resting on my laurels... progress on the next sternguard (GS's). Eyes, studs and lens on the scope and this one will be ready for camo!



Color on the photo is off as I'm still learning how to combine my camera with the new setup... but you can see some of the progress. Really happy with the way the auspex screen turned out (though you can't see it from this shot). I hope to have some time tomorrow night to work on him... might even be able to finish up the camo with luck.

Lookin' good. The yellow is looking a tad more muted then on Abraham, but that's probably the photo setup?

Yes, yellows on all 4 sternguard are the same. I need a grey backdrop as white or black completely screws up my cameras light sensing ability.

I REALY like the look of his boltgun, it looks like some highly advanced bolt sniper its awsome

Ahh the good old gits rouge trader personality is back!!!Love to see more!

HAZZER

Grill-master Abraham looking very cool there Gits

And a GS hat is a must now

You need a brick-built BBQ as an objective marker. Just sayin'.

The boltgun is looking awesome and the model is coming together rather nicely. I'm looking forwards to your addition of the Tranquility Camo Pattern.

Thank you one and all!

I think... Haz, that a "rouge trader personality" would look a little more like Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. (psssst... it's spelled r-o-g-u-e)


Well, after a day's worth of painting and watching football, all of the 3 remaining figures are completely painted with the exception of the camo. On my two, I'm using the Chapterhouse combi-weapons for the first time. I bought these originally mainly on principal as I thought they were an excellent idea. The don't look quite like bolt guns for obvious reasons... so I was a bit reluctant to start them out... however, after seeing them post-conversion and seeing how amazingly easy it is to change the load-out of the marines. I'm completely sold on them. So I thought I'd post a pic of the three variants on one of the marines.

The color on these photos is wrong... still having major camera/new light box issues. From top to bottom... flamer, plasma, melta.



Castings are top quality, very little work required to get rid of the mold lines. The guns do benefit from having a second magnet in the front to help hold it's entire length tightly in place, though I suspect if you painted it as to de-emphasize the gap it wouldn't be at all noticeable on the desk top.

I can't resist. "On principle.".

Those combi-weapons ARE sweet. Perhaps I should buy some before, you know, the inevitable end of CH.

--B.

Not sure under what premise you think the end will come... if it was that cut-and-dried they and every other 3rd party manufacturer out there would have been driven out of business by GW's lawyers years ago... clearly that is not the case. I support anyone who has a good idea and fills a need, these guns clearly do that for me.

Anyway, that's a topic for another thread or PMs. Don't want my P&M blog derailed...

what you did with this man here is very nice, i really like the look of your guns too nice work gits!

Thanks Rogue, appreciate that. He won't look right until the camo pattern is done, but I take great pride in starting with those regular old beakies and turning them into unique and more natural poses. Since these guys represent the fabled "Tranquility Snipers", I always feel that I have to put the majority into a shooting position... especially when so few GW figures are ever actually modeled that way.

The gun was just an experiment that (thankfully) succeeded. The chainsword blade bayonet has become my favorite... it's totally preposterous yet wonderful in that over-the-top, grim-dark, 40k way.

Wow! They work really well, I have to admit I did not like that set until you used it!

All right!! Pushed myself tonight and managed to finish one up! No pics until the basing is done tomorrow. Time to go watch "The Monster Bat" with Bela Lagosi as I drift off to a well earned rest!

Nice! I like the colour gradients, especially the shadow under the knife is spot-on.

GW lawyers did lose one case. GW suide some company for making a cygor (fantasy model) but becuase GW never released a model it wasn't copyrighted

The guns are looking great, and I continue to be pleasantly surprised that bright yellow can seem like camo! Only thing I can think of is maybe some scorching or bluing of the flamer barrel?

Mmm nice combi weapon.

But you will have to give the top of the silencer a somewhat burned look...
With all those weapons firing so close on top of it.^^

i agree with the guys above.
and a question about the chainsword are you going to paint it in camo or with hazard striped?

I get your point about the top of the barrel and suppressor. Did't see that myself but now that you guys have pointed it out I'll definitely be adding some scorch marks.

Chain blade gets the same camo treatment as everything else. I'm going to wash the base here in just a minute, then will add the foliage & scorch marks when I get home from work and have a pic for you then.
