January Painting Update II

Well the Plague Bearers are done, I just finished them about 20 mins ago. I hope to finish the rhino tomorrow and get photos of both up. I don't think I will finish the landraider due to real life commitments so it will pass on to next months challange.

Promised Photos

Slightly later than promised here are the photo's of the Thousand sons, Noise Marines and the Raptors. Now I know that none of these are going to win Golden Daemon prizes but I am happy with them.


Raptors


Thousand Sons


Noise Marines

These guys all have converted Sonic Blasters. (Except the guy with the Blastmaster) These were made by removing the muzzle and magazine from std chaos bolters and then adding the speaker from the cadian vox unit to where the muzzle should be. I then attached a piece of copper wire to where the mag should be leading to the back-pack.

Hope you enjoy them.

Till next time

January Painting Update

So here is the first update on my January Painting Challange. The Challange was to get the 4 remaining Plague Bearers finished and to Re-paint a Land Raider and a Rhino in Iron Warrior Colors.

So the status so far is as follows. I finally figured out the colors I used for the original Plague Bearer. I think its GW Graveyard Earth, Followed by GW Blue Top Flesh Wash, Allow to dry, Drybrush P3 Beast Hide, Light Drybrush GW Kommando Kahki. I have also sprayed the Rhino & Land Raider both AP Black first then AP Plate Metal. The Rhino is now Approx 80% done with just a few more details left to do along with the Decals.

I know I promised pictures of the 1k sons, noise marines and raptors but I cant find the cable for my camera at the moment so they will have to wait for that to be found.

BTW Since I am almost running out of AP Black Spray I decided to spray the models for next months challange. Exactly what they are you will have to wait and find out. :)

Army List Update

You may remember a while ago I was playing about with the IG Codex and drew up a 1750 point list. Well after talking to a few friends I made some changes. Firstly as I wanted the list to be ETC legal I had to get rid of Knight Commander Paige as there are no named Characters allowed. I also got rid of the Tech-Priest as without his servitors (who I couldn't fit in) his chance of repairing vehicles was too slim. I then changed the focus of the command squad by dropping the bodyguards, the commanders power weapon and changed the Melta guns to Plasma guns. Making them an Anti Troop squad instead of the anti vehicle/ Troop mix they previously had. I then got rid of the extra armour from all the Chimeras as their need to move was not THAT vital especially since I had the Vendettas.

So with all those changes I had some points to spare so I added in a small squad of Ratlings as a static Objective contesting unit. Since they would be spending most of their time in cover, their stealth special rule would come in very handy, making them very difficult to kill from shooting. I then added in a Bane-Wolf Tank as an additional Anti Power-Armour/ Horde Unit Thanks to its 2+ to wound, AP:3 no Cover save weapon.

So here is the revised list:


1 Company Command Squad 50
1 Plasma Pistol 10
1 Vox Unit 5
1 MediPack 30
2 Plasma Guns 15 30
1 Carapace Armour Upgrade 20
1 Astropath 30
1 Master of the Fleet 30
1 Chimera Transport 55


Elites
4 Ratling Snipers 10 40


Troops
1 Veteran Squad 70
3 Melta Guns 10 30

1 Veteran Squad 70

1 Vox Unit 5
1 Chimera Transport 55

11 Grenadiers Upgrade 30
1 Vox Unit 5

1 Veteran Squad 70
3 Melta Guns 10 30
11 Grenadiers Upgrade 30

Forward Planning V

Firstly let me wish all my Readers & Followers a Happy New Year

Due to a mistake on my part I didn't finish my challange. I accidentily left my models and paints down in my Father-in-laws house between Xmas day and New Years so obviously I didn't get any painting done for that week. The final result is as follows:

Noise Marines: Complete
1K Sons: Complete
Raptors: Complete
Plague Bearers: 1 Complete 4 Sprayed (Unchanged).

I will hopefully have photos of all 3 completed units up over the next few days. The Challange for this month is to Finish the Plague Bearers, Repaint 1 x Rhino & 1 x Land Raider in Iron Warrior Colors as per the Predator done previously.

Till next time
