The two missile launchers, Huron, and the terminator unit. It looks like Huron may get to battle this weekend too. Maybe I'll take some pictures to share with all of you.

Okay, here are a few pictures from my game the other day.

First up, 1000 points of Tiger Claws.


My opponent, 1000 points of Executioners.


Here is the deployment, it was Purge the Heretic on Dawn of War.


I didn't take a lot of pictures to show off the violent action, but in a nut shell, he pushed forward and so did I. We met in a whirling cloud of death. I adjusted my guys to get the charge with my terminators but rolled HORRIBLE! 9 powerfist attacks and only one marine died. PATHETIC! He then fled and turned around and charged me back. Huron also missed terribly with both of his Big Guns Never Tire shots. The only highlight was my lascannon taking out Thulsa Kane. Overall he won 4 to 6. At the end the only remaining marines were the lone tactical unit at the bottom of the deployment screen. He still had a handful of assault marines, an entire tactical unit, and a lone devastator hiding so I couldn't get the kill point.

In hindsight, I should have sent my terminators to deep strike into his territory. It would have kept him on the defensive so i could have had more time shooting at him with my superior firing position.

Here is a great shot of the multiple combats in the center of the board.

Awesomesauce!

I love the chainaxes.. and it's good to see you fight on your Ice terrain!

epic mate

Thanks guys. I have been very happy with my ice terrain Solar. I'm glad you like it.

I think the Executioner player will be purchasing some of the new forgeworld chain axes they produced for the terminators. Expect to see more of those in the future.

Cool beans! My best to my brother rebel!

what he said ....

You should see if you could get yourself a game where you play together,

Oh.. and praise Huron

Excellent stuff!! I want to see Huron!!

Thanks guys! Pictures of Huron will be up eventually, try to stay calm. I do have to admit, this last week was very unproductive in the painting department. I, however, was not wasting my time. I was revamping my list. Which means I have to switch up some projects a little bit, I'll need to get I believe one, possibly two figures, and of course paint them etc.

What little painting I have gotten done has been some dry brushing and some calthan brown on a missile launcher. Nothing to exciting. The weekend is free of plans though so I am hoping to get more done.

Rule of the day! You CAN shoot both your cyclone missile launcher and your storm bolter. Neat!

I am another one for the Ice Terrain. Those big ice crystals look sweet. Would be awesome to see a swirling melee around the base of them!

Very nice, Ice. Love that last picture.

Thanks guys. The ice crystals did turn out awesome. They are a lot of fun to play around, but kind of a pain to store. Some day down the road I want to make some more of them but in different lay outs, like on their sides or substantially shorter.

Outside of a lake, I think I have all of the ice terrain kinds covered.

TUESDAY! What a wonderful day Tuesday is. The anger of Monday has passed and you've resigned to your fate of monotonous work and the uphill fight for the weekend truly begins. Sometime during that struggle to find motivation today, you probably thought to yourself, I wonder what Ice has been up to. WELL YOU'RE IN LUCK! I have heard your psychic pleas and I am here to show you. I have not one but two photos to give you an idea of what marvels I have been slowly plugging away at and given the overwhelming response I have been receiving as of late on my P&M page that you are currently reading, I shall keep them from you NO longer.




Both pictures are a bit blurry, sorry, but they give you a good idea of the current WIP state my models are in. The first picture is all that remains left to be done in my adepticon force, minus one figure and the objectives. The second is a blurry close up Huron himself. I am very happy with Huron's progress. I have had that model for several years now and its nice to see him finally coming together. He has already had his first wash and eagerly awaits more.

How funny Ice. I too sat down and painted today. First time in many days. My progress is not so stunning as yours. Still, progress is progress. Love the way the Tyrant is coming along.

Praise he who is now painted ( somewhat ).

Looks super .. does this AC shot figure with your current list or your original plans?

With my current list, I'm almost there.

Rock on brother..

Great progress. He looks good in the proper colours. Im not a fan of the silver and blue Astral Claws. Cant wait to see more... esp how you'll paint the Arnold head.. "Get Down!!"

Here is my missile launcher guy. After simple greening this guy and priming him, I think I lost some detail on his face. I'm still not sold on his head, especially as I stare at him blown up on my desk top. I may have to revisit this guy.

Below are some more WIP pictures of Huron. The orange is coming along nicely. I started to do some other random pieces on him. Still much to do but I'm heading the right direction. Progress is always good, right?

Progress IS always good.

Huron is looking fantastic.

Nothing every looks good blown up and splashed across your desk top. If you want your stuff to look good... stop posting pics on dakka.

Woo! Love that ML! And Huron! It's almost enough to make me switch side. Nice work, Ice.

Most excellent..

hmm the grey lions on the orange, are not going it for me currently. will have to see when it is finished. Excellent work as always ice.

lol, so stop posting pictures on dakka eh? I don't think any one would read my thread if I didn't post pictures on it.

Not feeling the grey? I'm not sure what other color I could paint them as. In the past, all of my other Tiger Claws have grey imperial crests on their chests. I figured I'd stick with the theme.

More WIP. I started some experiments on his banner. The plan is to introduce some other subtle colors and fix the center maelstrom. How do you guys feel about the light gray? Should I go to white or to more of a bone color?

As for the rest of him. I still need to complete his ghost razor and I think I'm going to add one more layer of highlight on his orange armor. After I complete the banner it'll be time to paint his head. Does it actually state any where that Huron was a white dude? I know in all of his pictures he is but those pictures are also of him wearing silver and blue as an Astral Claw, not a Tiger Claw like I painted him. It may be time for a change.

Light grey... and I don't think his skin color would change just because he re-painted his armor.

You never know, some space marines are very concerned about their look. Clearly orange wouldn't compliment a nice pale skin tone so he fake baked and got himself a bit darker. Makes total sense.

He wouldn't really be Huron if he wasn't white. Could be captain whatever of the tiger claws, but not Huron.

Huron is looking mighty fine so far Ice...particularly liking his loin cloth...

This could always be the Ultimates version of Huron
