Greater Brass Scorpion Completed!!!

So I ended up not sleeping and to pass the time until work decided to finish this beast.  Very cool model, but if you don't like painting trim it isn't any fun :)

One note before the pics.  I'm getting tired of TO's banning crap based on what someone told them . So much stuff is OP in the regular game this knee jerk reaction to limit anything else is crazy and most is based on " I heard" .  Well why don't you get the book before seeing how this will ruin the game.  Example: Chaos Dreadclaw drop pods are assault vehicles.  OMG so broken!! Well if you read before you make that decision they are assault vehicle, but it specifically says models embarked CANNOT assault the turn it arrives!  So calm down.  Also the chaos land raider achillies is 330 and doesn't have the rule that prevents 2+1 dice for penetration ( it does have ceramite armor though ). For 330 I think it is fair ( and it only transports 6 and isn't and assault vehicle with POMS ).   So keep your Knight formation and wave serpent spam and have fun with the same army over and over.  And please be more closed minded cause that is what our hobby needs . ;)

ok,  now the pics

Added some gore and blood on the chain blades

This guy is huge!

Tau Earth Caste,Terran style Gundam Rip-Tides

So here are a few of my Old Tau from Adepticon last year.  I don't play Tau, but my team did so I ponied up and built my 1k army and than some.  I used some Gundams that I thought fit the bill for a riptide variant for humans. Sort of really really trusted allies :)

They are painted and not just "Hey here are some toys to proxy R-Tides".  I had a great time playing them and most if not all my opponents liked them. Well atleast liked the models Not what damaged they caused in game.

Greater Brass Scorpion and Friends!

My Ebay binge continues a blistering pace and all due to the Imperial Armor 13 book.  Again if you don't have it yet and are a Chaos player it is a great book.

Well the Brass Scorpion I won 2 weeks ago has been stripped,  put together, and a few coats of paint have made their way onto the model.  I can't wait to play this thing.  So cool looking and perfect for a Lord of War.

I had trouble picking a color to go with, but settled on my current chaos color scheme of red and bright silver.  It contrast well and so many of my other models are sporting that paint scheme.

I started on some lighting effects as well on the main cannon and the scorpion tail thingy.

Above you can see the blue lighting effect and see the start of the armor trim being painted.  I did try 3 other colors but none of them popped as much as the silver. BTW there is a ton of trim to paint on this thing so I'm breaking it up over a few days as not to get sloppy and rush this.

So here is what I mean about going with the same scheme.  I ended up changing the Decimator from brass to silver trim.  It just seemed to pop that much more.

Well after this gets completed I still have the Fell Blade to finish, but I have no idea what paint is going to end up on that.  Maybe a White ( death guard ) or Khornate type paint.

 Check back soon!  More PMAC to come.


 

Imperial Armor 13 arrives !! And Decimator Engine progress

I can't say how much I love this book enough!  So bad ass!  So much real game info as well.  Greater deamons, renegade IG, daemon engines, super heavies, relic machines!!! it has them all and just in time!

So over the last few weeks I have been grabbing a few things here and there from ebay.  I managed to snag some in need of TLC Decimator Engines.  Well after some paint and TLC they have been waiting for IE13 to arrive to see what rules they have. So as rules go they are ok, nothing OP , but not a pryovore.

Now for some pics

"What you talking about fool!" 

Ok so these are only 1 of them , they other has silver trim just to tell them apart.  I need to add some OSL effects as well as some gore, but the base is pretty much done.

Can't wait to start on my Greater Brass Scorpion. Can you say Daemon Engine Army??  :)

Soul grinder and idle hands.

So I took a chance on a Soul Grinder that i saw on Ebay about 2 weeks ago.  Ended up winning for under $30 shipped.  Had ok paint and looked in decent condition.  Was I wrong.  My bad for not looking closely.  The shoulder above the mechanical arm was gone, huge gaps everywhere, and paint was again ok.  So I was like what the hell at myself!! but it was my fault for not seeing so just in case you sold this to me I still gave you positive feedback and thank you!  No big deal.  Though you do need to work on your shipping time  ( waiting 7 days to even ship was a bit much, 14 days to get to me ) and the packaging was horrible.

Well I went to work on replacing parts, filing gaps and re-glued all the parts I could pull apart. Some of the spikey bits were a total loss as the poor packing removed them from the model with blunt force trauma.

So once done with the repairs I started looking around at pics of Grinders.   I have 2 others and a plague hulk but the paint on them is MEH at best and didnt want to added another ok paint job to a fantastic model.  They were some of the first models I have ever painted so being meh is acceptable until I repaint them ( future project).  Well 3rd eye nuke studios did a grinder that was awesome and I would have bought it on eBay if I wasn't like 3 months late.  So next best thing is I painted my ginder similar to the excellent job they did.  Please check them out and yes I did copy them as they did a great job.http://www.thirdeyenuke.com/


So here is the eBay pic from the auction I won:

So here is after some TLC and paint :)

I still have some more details, but it's 95% done. You can see I added Mauler Fiend shoulder armor to cover the missing bit.

Hope you enjoyed!

Do you need more Terrain for your table???

If you answered yes, please take a look at Angry Mojo's kick Starter.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/angrymojogames/big-box-terrain-angry-mojo-games-and-terrain-laser

For $50 you can have actual terrain! It matches, is functional , and for $50 looks sweet.  Paint it up and add some flock and your GTG.

Give them a look and stop being that house with crappy terrain that no one wants to play at ( unless you play Tau ) :)


This on a 6x4. ( and the stretch goal is not shown )





Do you play infiniti???  need terrain ( of course you do )
