Fun with Hard Sci-fi

Edit Post

I didn't manage to make it to last week's painting night due to the holiday but I still got a few things done throughout the week.

I finished the dry brushing, black detailing and wash for the Battle Barge. Now begins the touch-up and detail stages.

I also finished my Apothecary and Standard bearer. The Techmarines and Librarians I'm hoping to finish this week finally.

Space Marine Characters

Also, here's the Command Horizon infantry I put together and primed two weeks ago that I never got a chance to take pictures of.

Command Horizon Infantry

I tried a test scheme for my infantry and APC. It was pretty simple and I'm happy enough with it, what do you guys think? I'm still not impressed with woodland scenics stuff on bases, I think I'm finally going to break down and get some Silfor grass tufts.

Happy Birthday... Ya Douche

Edit Post

I got some work done on the Battle Barge, and assembled and primed seven more stands of the Command Horizon troops. I forget to grab pictures of them though before I came down to CT. I should be able to snap some Monday night though when I get back.

I did get a picture of these guys though, which I just finished up. They're Matt's birthday present (if you read this before you get them Matt just act surprised). I managed to build and paint five tanks in five days, which I believe is sort of a record for me. So anyway, happy birthday Matt from me and Arklite (the supplier of the sixth turret).

Objectifying Space Marines

Edit Post

I didn't get a whole lot done last week (most of my Monday was spent building a Battle Barge) so I skipped the update. Here's what I managed this week though.

My objectives, nearly finished for NEAT tomorrow. I wanted to use some brass mesh to make camo netting for the ammo store but the Michaels I went to didn't have any. :P As it stands it's kind of plain but it will do for tomorrow. The Damocles radar was built with plastic card (14 pieces I think 8) ). I'm not too happy with the free handing for the radar dish recessions. I'll probably print out a decal for it instead when I do the Land Raider door ones.

Space Marine Objectives

Here we have my project from last week. Holy crap this thing took a long time to build. And I still haven't got primer covering everything. I hoping to finish this guy up for the end of July.

Battle Barge

I realized I didn't have any librarian characters, so I put together two real quick last night.

Librarians

Finally, some shots of Command Horizon's human troopers (standing and kneeling). These guys haven't got too much coverage on here so I figured some people might be interested to see how they scale to other models.

Command Horizon Infantry

They're 6.5-7mm tall from helmet to boot and carry a fairly compact looking rifle. No 6mm lasguns for these guys.

Orky Armor

Edit Post

A bit of building, putty work and yellowification this week as I missed the Monday painting night due to travel.

These Dreadnoughts are new, I cut and repositioned the arms to give them a little "I'm not a crab" variety.

Ork Dreadnoughts

I also finished my other 3 Stompas and puttied the ammo drum up. They didn't do a whole lot in my games with them over the weekend but took a lot of fire.

I also finished up my two Zzap wagons and puttied the 4 Flakwagonz.

Wagons

And I finally got around to puttying Chubby as well and dressing him up all pretty like.
