Tomorrow is the big day, tomorrow the Fists go to war for the very first time. I have a firm grasp of the general rules, but there are several minor rules that I surely won't remember. I just hope that my opponents are forgiving (they might see me as an easy win, but I will fight back:)) and I will try to focus on using what I know and see how it goes. My goal is mainly to get to play the game and get some playtime in before I move. Which is soon now! I have actually gotten my US visa approved:)
Here we have my two lascannon guys. The missions will be Annihilation so I'll probably pop vehicles with them and then concentrate my fire to try to break morale. I don't expect their 4 fellow marines will do much unless my enemy either kills them or gets within 24" of them :)
I painted the "thingie" at the back green and give it a *very* liberal wash of Thrakka Green. Then I decided to put a violet was over Fenris Grey on the other one. Not too happy with the result of that one though. The other Fenris + purple combo (leviathan purple I think) turned out great. I.e. the hose and the, ehm, thingy on the barrel. Also went for a very black backpack. Anything having opinions?:)
My second Razorback. Looks like it was pretty much seriously rushed out of the manefactorium, big time. But it *will* be finished in the future and hopefully looking ok. I plan on numbering it II while the first one gets I. No big surprises there:) Like the interior? It's the same as #I with one minor difference. Unfortunately it's impossible to see on this picture unless you know what you are looking for. Maybe maybe I'll change #I to look like #2 :)
The Dozer blades are fully magnetized on both of them now. Looks neat and works neat. Here you can see the fairly large magnets hidden inside the Razorback. The stick on quite well. I have to magnetize weapons, doors (on #2), and well, that's it I guess. But it has to be done never the less:)
And now for a blurry with flashlight group photo! Don't they look chanterelle-tastic? I should hook them up with a better photo op when I have painted more of them. I am considering switching out the AoBR Dreadnaught for a new one so I get some more weapon options. Or switch the bugger out completely and get some Land Speeder Storm love and people seem to love those Predators and Land Raiders. Hmm, what is a Chapter Master to do :)
I'll return with a brief report on how things turn out tomorrow.
I gotta tell you Flex I dont know how you have the dedication to paint the interior of a Rhino. Hell I dread having to paint the exterior of a Lemun Russ. You army looks mighty slick man I cant wait to see it completed.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your tourny ( note: said this on Jawas blog as well)
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe army is looking great.
The trick is to choose the easiest colors to paint the interior with. Boltgun metal + badad black for the metal, fenris grey for the walls, light brush of boltgun metal for the boltgun, red, gree, and blue colors from the foundation set for the little details, and a blue wash (azurmen blue?) for the "dashboard". It was really quick. The outside is far far FAR worse. I am debating painting the dread before the razorbacks simply because it is so time consuming. And I still have a lot of neat extras to add to the 'backs as well ;)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the nice comments! I'll keep the pics coming:)
