Some daylight pics of the brood...

 As the Warmaster approaches, so does his vanguard....

Bloodletters and the first ASM with custom (read: simple) Jumppacks....

For the Warmaster: Part 1, Bloodletters

The Bloodletters aka BA Scouts are done, apart from:

1. Eyes

2. Tongues

3. Cleanup

4. Varnish (I never varnish, but these babies have seen a few dings already and that scares me)

More pictures after the jump (god I feel like Goatboy!)

I am very happy with the banner effect, which was:
- Dehneb Stone
- Washed with my super-Sons of Horus mix (50% Thraka Green, 50% Asurman Blue)
Then free handed the logo in black!

Box of toys for the festers!

Crappy picture, but you get the idea...

Terminators! 15 of them!

I am slaving away on my 8 Blood Letters and am getting the skin done. Once again, Blood Red + Leviathon Purple is amazing.

Once the Letters are done, I will photograph them in all their killy glory...

How to: Pre Heresy Terminator (Justaerin) Shoulder Pad from AoBR Terminators.

D-D-Double posted on 3++ Is the New Black!

So, it's time to look into how I did my shoulderpads, and like all good conversions, simple is awesome is simple.

And end-result can look like the image to the right.

Anyway, here goes nothing.
Pardon the HUGE break in text, but if I don't all the images and instructions wont line up!

How do I do my basing

Had a query in the Chat box on 3++ when I was *shock horror* actually working today and MIA...

How do I do my bases?

The truth of the matter couldn't be more embarrassing.

1. Take a sheet of .5mm (0.020 inch) plasticard and randomly chop it up into shapes

2. Glue in some semblance of a pattern (think slate) on the base.

3. Basecoat Black

4. Wet coat Beastial Brown

5. REALLY wet paint (just splash it around) the raised areas with Codex Grey

6. Wash the grooves with Devlan mud, just to cover any spots you messed

7. Repeat step 5, leaving spots, with Dheneb Stone.

Jobs Done!
You can go from start to finish in a 2 hour night, including drying time.

Concept photos!

Ladies and gentlemen (ladies?).... (gentlemen?)

This is my latest and fester-est models.
These are the proof of concept for my BA Footspam variant, which is basically as follows.

Terminator Captain
2x10 Shooty Termies with CML
2 Priests
3x8 Blood Letters Scouts
2x5 Devastators with 3 ML

Uhh, yeah, thats 1750!

Marine ideas again, and a steaming pile of crap ensues.

I just cant leave bad enough alone.

Looking once again at my Marines, and how to make them function at 1750. I really want to crack this :)

I have a distinct lack of viable vehicles for a true mech marines list, and at this junction in my life I cannot be fuc.. err, bothered in fixing all the rhinos to be Razorbacks, and I cannot afford to do a Bloodhammer list like I would like.

Where does this leave me? Crapsville.

Well, no actually, Ebay. See I went for a wander today and found a place I can get 15 AoBR terminators for the princely sum of, get this, $45 AUD + postage. While I was cruising around that person's site, I noticed that they had full scout squads in 4 separate bits piles for $1 per bits pack. Hopefully I pick all of these up, which will let me look at starting my 1st and 10th list, with some scratchbuilt Speeder Storms later on.

Until then, lists ahoy!
