Luna Wolves AoBR Captain

I am trying out my hand at ... well ... painting well instead of vomiting on minis.

Here is the prototype for my marine repaint - Luna Wolves Captain Fester von Festerson (name may not be Warhammer canon).

I intend to do decent photos soon, this was a 3 minute this-morning job.

Some touchups, shoulder pad embellishments and a base TBC.

If I think its worth the effort will be entered into painting comp @ Cowcon - the local RTT.

Personal reminder: you are insane

Wish these were mine, link is here

So I'm slipping on my resolve to paint Howling Griffons... but slipping to Luna Wolves which are, of course, white.

So much easier..

Sigh.

Oh, and my personal note:

These storm shields are awesome, must do this with my Luna Wolves...

Quick word in your ear - Marine Repaint

http://thatguyjames.net

Just a quicky, I have gotten bored with all these green marines.
Time for some more green, Simple Green that is, and a lot of marines in the bath.

As such I have also re-written my army a bit to fit these changes, and allow me to up the anti a little for the new army paint job.

First, list.

HQ
Librarian
 
Elites
10 Terminators, 2 Cyclone Missile Launchers
Dreadnought (Multimelta)
Dreadnought (Multimelta)
 
Troops
10 Tactical Marines, Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Rhino
10 Tactical Marines, Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Rhino
10 Tactical Marines, Meltagun, Multimelta, Rhino

Fast Attack
Landspeeder Typhoon (Typhoon Missile Launchers, Heavy Flamer)
Landspeeder Typhoon (Typhoon Missile Launchers, Heavy Flamer)

Heavy Support
Predator, Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Predator, Heavy Bolter Sponsons

41 infantry (30 scoring), 9 vehicles, 1750 points.

Now as for the scheme? Howling Griffons. Something easy to paint.

I have dug out a Terminator, my own AoBR captain (soon to be just a sargeant) and I will be getting a start on finding out just how hard these guys are to paint.

"WIP photos coming?" you might ask... I'd like to think so but who knows.

Da Horde Returnz

I feel terrible for not keeping the blog going, but once more life takes over.


I am going though the 6th month of my #2 bub's pregnancy (no, I'm the Dad not the Mum, but I still have to live with it), a new car we picked up on Friday, starting a new job in 3 weeks and a whole host of other stuff that really is neither here nor there, but all adds up to - I get 1 hr of painting every other night and I haven't seen the value in using it to write a blog post.


Anyway, without further ado, the reason I have been painting is so that I can re-complete the MVB list I am running for this year's Tourney Season.

0/10 Comp, here we come!

fester's ThunderKans

Well, ThunderKan # 1 is going to Brolo, as the Kans finally showeded up.

ThunderKan #2 went to Archnomad, as a gift and started for his army.

This means, fester has 0 ThunderKans.

Or does he?

Still more work to go, namely rivets and detailing, but that baby should catch some bullets :)

ThunderKan #2

Just a real quicky, I have like a day to paint this bad boy for the tournament, its 9.50 pm and my wife will turn up shortly asking for me to go to bed.

Kan # 2 done!

Hammering out my army for Cent

I haven't mentioned it here, but I am loaning my army to a guy for Cent and I had to make a few alterations and speed paint some things.

Brolo of 3++ fame is shipping me 3 kans that were supposed to be here yesterday.

Sigh.

Oh well, digging through a trade I found a new plastic Kan!

Winnah!

So to start on the last 3 models, I have whipped up this.

I dub thee, ThunderKan (I will always try to convince my opponent it has a 3++ save too :) )
