PotM: Now you're a Devastator, brother!

Good evening all. Here's Tatu with some brand new PotM(Painting of the Month) stuff. I'm adding some more firepower to my Raven Guard strike force with a squad of Devastators. These fellas are armed with multi-purpose missile launchers to counter all sorts of threats. Anti-air is the key to success in the current edition so the squad got some hot new flakk-missiles from armory. The squad has a dedicated transport, a Razorback, which I have painted some months earlier.

And here's the whole strike force so far.

During february I'm painting a tactical squad with Rhino transport. Also my force seriously lacks the punch in close combat so I need fix that thing real soon. This is Tatu, signing out.

PotM: Skeleton warriors regiment

What’s up people this is Eto and today is the first day of the month which means it’s time for an episode of Painting of the Month (PotM), a series where we’ll nominate a unit at the start of the month and by the time it’s first day of the following month we’ll showcase those units. For this episode I decided to add another 20 skeleton warriors to my Vampire Counts army, armed with spears and a full command group. Now as you can see from the pictures below we’re talking about the old school bunch of skellies here, which I have to say I find somehow more charismatic with their wonky legs and downright weird hand structures.

20 new skeleton warriors ready to kick ass and send bones flying

Like the rest of the army I wanted to have a nice, solid and coherent bunch of undead warriors so I used the same shield ornament for whole regiment. I also made the spear points stick up high for the 1^st, 3^rd and 4^th row as to further bring up the idea of being led by one eternal will of the Vampire general. 2^nd rank has their spears in between 1^st row to make it look like they’re ready to take an enemy charge upfront. 

 

As for the command group, I always paint one even though I rarely use champion or musician with skeletons. Old school painter me always wants to have an option for WYSIWYG. I’ve always enjoyed painting banners as you can put your imagination and skills to the test and really come up with a nice detail for otherwise regular and boring units. 

Hanged man, or a skeleton rather

For the February’s episode of PotM I’ll be choosing Vampire counts Mortis Engine.

So that’s pretty much it for today’s episode of PotM. If you have questions or comments feel free to drop them in the comments section below, and subscribing to our blog would be much appreciated. I’ll see you guys in the next episode, this is Eto signing off.

++Heresy grows from idleness++

Hey what’s up people, it has been ages since the last update! Whole crew here has had a lot of things going on and we apologize for the lack of content. However, we’re back on our feet and got some great news for everyone! This Friday 1^st of February we’re going to launch a whole new serie called Painting of the Month (PotM).

The idea started somewhere back in December 2012 after having a sudden realization of having literally hundreds of unpainted minis just lying around everywhere. So we struck up a deal, PotM. Now the way this works is quite simple, we nominate a unit, regiment, monster, warband, vehicle or whatever that we’ll paint and by the time the month changes that said selection of minis should be ready for a showcase.

So stay tuned for the first episode of PotM starting this Friday, 1^st of February!

Raven Guard Land Speeder ja Razorback

Edistystä! Ohessa kuvia. Kevään aikana olisi tarkoitus maalailla hieman enemmänkin ja saada aikaan kelpo marinejoukko, jolla voisi osallistua esimerkiksi kesän ja syksynturnauksiin.

Land speederiin rakensin tämän hetken suosikkikomboni Multimeltan ja Heavy flamerin.
Razorback on ihan vanillaversio.

Tilannekatsaus

No niin. Dark eldar armeijan edistymiseen on tullut pienehköjä ja suurehkoja esteitä, kuten perheenlisäys ja gradu. Näistä syistä ei päivityksiä ole satanut. Mutta gradu paineioden alla kerkesin saamaan toisenkin venomin valmiiksi, pari warrioria ja aloitella razorwingiä. Lisäksi olen ostanut armeijaa varten toisen ravagerin. Nyt kun gradu on valmis ja pienokaisen päivärytmi alkaa pikkuhiljaa vakiintua voin palata takaisin harrastukseni pariin. Eilen päätin kaivaa ukot esiin ja ottaa parit kuvat uudella kameralla, sekä korjata ball joint -liitos ongelmat magneeteilla. Tuli tilattua Saksasta lisää magneetteja, halkaisijaltaa 2 mm ja korkeudeltaan 1,5 mm. Olen huomannut, että ajan saatossa pallonivel löystyy ja esim. jetbiket kaatuuvat ja tippuvat varren päästä. Ravagerien pelattavuutta lisäsin kiinnittämällä molemmat sivujen ampujakelkat magneeteilla, eli kun tykki menee hajalle sen saa vain napsauttamalla pois. Uudemmasta ravagerissa myös aseet ovat vaihdettavissa.

Tässä parit kuvat jo valmiista figuista.
