http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k bug...some of you probably know from seein my semi-worthless posts around here.

Started up an IG army a couple months ago. Bought the Cadian Bforce set, then another, then a command squad (company command), three Russ', three Chimeras, and another Sentinel to finish of the basic fast attack. Oh, and a buddy gave me a heavy weapons team. Pictures follow of the first box set, Russ and Chimera. I'll get some more recent ones up once I actually get a little time off work. I wanna apologize in advance in case the images come out god awful huge and the site doesn't automatically resize...











Everything I had at the time of the pictures being taken...I've almost doubled (tripled with some things) the size of my force since then...bout two weeks ago...


Note: You'll notice some metal figures that started to get painted before being primed... Lesson: Don't paint while consuming alcoholic beverages...

*Edit: Sorry for the bad pic quality...it was late

Yes. Everything.

Anyway, looking great for a start

Nice, solid colour scheme there. Could do with a wash of either badab black or devlan mud.

Sounds like your building up a massive Cadian army.

Have fun

Cheers,

Jack.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/880488.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/880488.page GMT
And Blight, of course it's going to be massive! How else would you do an IG force?

Again, sorry for the poor picture quality

By "update" I mean I work nonstop but I might be able to squeeze in some time for a few updated pictures tomorrow/later today.

Also, with washes: I took the whole "more is merrier" advice and it looks a little overwhelming. Any advice on how I can make it a bit more subtle?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/889562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/889562.page GMT
So time for an update! (no pictures just yet, need new batteries for the camera)
I've assembled and primed a second Russ, began assembly on another Chimera. Finished assembly on a second Sentinal, but I have a slight problem with the pose. I wanted one of those "dynamic, one leg up in the air because it's running head-on towards the enemy line" poses. The problem is that with one leg up in the air, the weight balance is drastically thrown off to one side and gravity takes over and pushes the non-supported side down to where the other foot is pretty much on the ground. This leaves me with a dynamic "oh no, I've just taken a massive blow to my flank and I'm falling over" pose... Any advice on how I can prevent this from happening once I break it apart and start again?

Also I have two Valks waiting to be assembled and used for shuttling command squads and stormtroopers around the battlefield and poppin vehicles too, of course.

For the stormtroopers I'm using a standard squad, a little converting using the vox-caster backpack for the hot-shot lasgun, and Elysian drop troop heads. All this just because, as cool as they look, I just think that Kasrkins look a tad too fancy for rugged, covert-type troops.

Woo-hoo picture time!

A little bit of what I've been workin on and the obligatory workstation pictures.

Update! Forgeworld order has been placed! Elysian drop troop heads, Elysian weapons pack (to be converted into hot-shot lasguns), and the twin-linked lascannons to convert my Valks into Vendettas are on there way! Now to just finish up the last few guardsmen, two Russ', and two Chimeras...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/927308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/927308.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/927853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/927853.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/928314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/928314.page GMT MOO. I really don't like the GW model, looks a bit too "prissy". So I took a the tank commander body, legs, arms, and one of the heads, slapped on a slightly altered vox-caster backpack, and began work on an arm mounted targeting computer (I'm not gonna lie, stole the idea from someone on here!) Here's a couple of pics of him so far. Need to finish up the computer, then base and paint him.

Anywho, after painting so many of the same model, I grow tired of Guardsmen. So I've already come up with my next army (I'm still gonna finish up the mess I've got on my table and post pictures as I go)! I'm currently reading the Horus Heresy novels, and I think a Pre-heresy Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus army would be a pretty solid experiance. So my question here is this: who knows of a great, easy way to "stud" the shoulder guards? Or if anyone has a mold made of it by any sort of dumbluck, PM me ASAP.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/960236.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/960236.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/970673.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250741/970673.page GMT
