Finished constructing the last of my initial investment. 495 point force ready for fielding in next Wednesday's Escalation League at Astral Games. I will chronicle my steps towards making this a noteworthy 2500 point, fully painted army.
Details on the specific chapter will be forthcoming, as I haven't decided much beyond a basic colorscheme (bone and dark blue). I think the likeliest would be a Second Founding chapter of the Dark Angels, or just a generic Space Marine chapter.
So far as the general tactics I'm wanting to use, I am planning on fielding very strong close-combat units (vanguard veterans w/ jump packs and dual lightning claws) backed up by a wall of bolter fire, with Dreadnoughts suppressing their vehicle units.
SWEET!
ReplyDeletedamn it, I can't figure out how to follow your blag just with my blogspot login... >.<
Yay! figured it out.
ReplyDeleteReally good conversion work there, subtle and full of character. For smoothing greenstuff joins like the ones on your commander, I recommend a paint shaper. It's also sometimes called a clay shaper. It's basically a silicone nub on the end of a brush handle. Get it a little wet or put some KY on it and run it across malleable greenstuff for some smoothness.

ReplyDeleteWow. tyvm! I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get the green stuff to behave =D I've been putting off priming my commander because I wasn't too happy at how the green parts looked all tacky...
