Title: [All] while TacComm is down...
Post by: Dave on February 26, 2010, 05:05:48 PM
What have you been up to?

These would have been the weekly installment in my work thread:

I finished assembling the Scouts this week. The Space Marine Sergeants were taking too long to find, plus I was completely happy with the way the heads looked on the Shadow Knight Bodies. So I went with Catachan heads instead.

I also put together another pair of Dreads, along with two multi-melta versions just because I had the parts kicking around.

These are my Librarian proxies (the Servitor with the multi-melta is supposed to represent the MW firefight attack). I converted them with the model out of the SM character pack and some spare Land Speeder multi-meltas.

Finally, the rest of my characters. An Apothecary and soon to be Standard Bearer (Chaplain proxies), a Terminator Chaplain and two Jump Pack Chaplains.

Got some work done on the Scouts this week. These guys are probably going to take another two Mondays though. There's a lot of detail I'm trying to pick out. You can also see the Heavy Bolter ammo boxes I finally got around to putting on them:

More work on the Scouts again this week. I did the highlights for the armor, gear and cloaks, and got halfway through base coating the pistols and swords. One more week ought to do it for these guys, I need to finish the pistols and swords, do their heads, and then base them.

Thanks, they're all done now.

Forgot to take pictures Thursday night and ended up having a busy weekend, so here's the pics for last Friday.

I finished up the Scouts with a week to go before Havoc. They performed admirably in their games over the weekend (one unit managed to hold off a Chaos retinue charge from a unit worth three times as much as it). I contribute this success to the extra time spent on their paint job.

Here's the regular Scout stands.
