Title: 22nd Pianosan Regiment - "the Catch-22's" - An IG Log
Post by: Raukov on January 28, 2008, 08:16:03 AM: Hello all, finally got started on my IG army, with much more progress to come following the weekend. Here's what i've started:

Post by: Syphon on January 28, 2008, 10:35:19 AM: Good colour scheme, I like it. First off: Why does that guy look like he is holding a cup of tea? :p Secondly: I like the different placement of the guns. Reminds me of an AA setup or something.

Post by: Cpl. Lee on January 28, 2008, 11:19:42 AM: there the sentinel drivers grips, not a cup of tetleys!!!! :D

im loving the colour scheme you've done, will you be having human-sized infantry to go with those fantastic ratlings? i suppose you could always use the abhumans doctrines to field a platoon of ratties.

Very nice so far :)

Post by: Dr_Ruminahui on January 29, 2008, 06:36:59 PM: What is that sentinel with the 4 stubbers actually armed with? Is it an "opponent's permission" model, or is that a "counts as" autocannon or something?

Its a nice conversion, I just don't really understand it, is all. 8)

Post by: Raukov on January 30, 2008, 07:40:21 AM: Ok, just a quickie as i'm running l8 for lecture. Managed to take a bad pic of the ratling commando. If i fail to make a platoon of these he will take an honourary place in my HQ squad.

Also, why were half-tracks built? what benefit do they have over tanks or trucks? easier to build/maintain? quicker? etc i'm kitbashing a few and need a reason why they're taken over chimeras?

@Dr_Ruminahui, I just use it as a counts as autocannon I shouldn't think anyone would have a problem with it so long as i explain etc, however with apocalypse isn't there an AA setup/addition, in which case i'd probably use it as that depending on the level of aerial assault i face.

Halftracks were used as a truck with better offroad performance,pretty much every army (apart from the Israelis) abandoned them after WW2 in favour of the full tracked APC.

Post by: Cpl. Lee on January 30, 2008, 03:43:43 PM: yeah im intrigued by the quad cannon sentinel too! i really like it but im just wondering what it represents.

half tracks eh? im intrigued by those, done a bit of research myself as im hoping to do some half tracks for my blood pact myself, let me know how you get on, i'd love to take some cues from you as to how your doing them...

loving the rattie commando by the way!

Post by: Raukov on February 5, 2008, 06:44:22 AM: ok, well stuck to my promise, and i present the halftrack. Shorter and narrower than the conventional chimera this vehicle is ideal transport in the derelict, dark and narrow streets of the hive world.

Post by: Markay on February 5, 2008, 08:39:10 AM: Thats awesome! I can't imagine 10 men fitting inside the thing, maybe command squads and hardened vets.

I can imagine people hanging off the sides though :D maybe some frame on the top to grab onto would be cool and you could have a couple of models riding on top.

I like the lascannon on the russ too, simple idea but it gos a long way to bringing the model up to date.

Post by: Cpl. Lee on February 6, 2008, 12:24:09 PM: wow! - im well into that half track raukov! it looks about the same size as a FW centaur, which has a transport capacity of 6 if i remember rightly.

nice use of the wartrak bitz to the rear, and the russ sponson too, i barely noticed it at first!

i did wonder how that would turn out.

@syphon i picture the 'beep beep!' scenario too, remind me of the kids programme Brum for some reason.

if its missing anything, possibly some mud guards to the sides of the front wheels.

Post by: Raukov on February 8, 2008, 06:52:59 AM: Ok, well last nite i painted up the half-track. Quite pleased with the result, more painting to come if i can be bothered to pick up some more chaos black, i should have time between lectures.

I am not sure about the 4 guns on the sentinel though......was there a specific reason for the added weapons?

Post by: Catachan Devil Sniper on February 10, 2008, 12:59:57 PM: The half track's hull kinda reminds me of the French tanks during WWI and the 1920s and 30s. Small, with a 2 man crew.

Paint job is great. Let me guess, cityfight veterans?
Title: Re: 22nd Pianosan Regiment - "the Catch-22's" - An IG Log
Post by: Wonko the Sane on February 10, 2008, 01:14:54 PM: you know, you may want to consider converting your heavy weapon teams to use small bases, or magnetizing the tripods/bipods so you can swap em out. Just a tip, it saves money and time (though you will have less models, which can be bad if youre making a super huge one off army I suppose).

Either way, awesome job so far, totally cool stuff. Maybe make an apoc sheet for that sentinel, a Hydra, but with AV 10 and an open topped walker? or as a cheaper varient, swap the Hydra's armament with stubbers, it's just too great of a conversion to pass up! Nicely done.

Ok, now onto the Q&A:

@Zaeon : Haven't totally come up with the fluff. Obviously, they come from an urban world (factorium, hiveworld). I toyed with having them as almost borderline fascists. Protecting the rich upper classes of the hive from the proletarian scum/deranged mutants of the lower echelons. Either that or just quite an irregular guard force lead by your typical anti-hero.

@Stolenchicken : No real reason, the conversion was years old and had a rudimentary paint job. Decided to keep as is (i couldn't see it anyother way) and just alter the roof. Maybe its just me, but it looks a bit more AT-ST to me now. (yes, I know they didn't have 4guns...yes, yes, jar jar binks ruined it)

@Voltarian : Thats rlly gd news, not sure i've ever inspired anyone before. Be sure to post them up i'd rlly like to a butchers at them

@Catachan Devil Sniper : Cityfight vets indeed, but no real rules, maybe light infantry occasionally.

@Wonko : I mite use the AA rules for the sentinal, but until i get a few games under my belt with the Guard. Also, may try that trick for the misile launchers so i can run the grunts without one should i want them to run across the board and...well...die attempting to capture objectives

@Markay : Cheers, weathering and decals/details, to come. Put the Regimental 22 on the back panel of the turret yesterday. Does anybody have any good pics of a weathered Russ? could be very useful

- they'll be cool once you get the legs right. to be honest theres plenty of good bare foot alternatives out there like skaven and gobbo's for people to use. ive personally never done ratties, but would certainly have a blast at some home made...

Post by: Illumini on February 11, 2008, 06:46:33 PM: Really nice army you've got yourself, I'm doing pretty much the same thing myself, private security-firm specialised in urban combat and riot handling. And you heavy weapon bases are not too crowded, they are supposed to be crowded ;)

Otherwise, I agree that you should bulk up the half-track, it looks a bit too weedy. I've got myself a buggy (sentinel) that looks more sturdy ;)

Keep up the great work, love your paint scheme

All half-tracks I've seen have this kind of design. A slightly sloping ''fender'', a sloping front, followed by a straight ''windscreen'', and then a flat top. I think it would look much better if you had managed something like that, and I think the turret could be placed a bit further back. Another suggestion is to bulk out the sides a bit.

(note: I have no practice in using plasticard etc, so feel free to not use the advise ;) )

Nope its certainly plastic, if I was to have a go I'd say its from an old necromunda model but I can't really pretend I know for certain. ;)

The pose on the sarge is excellent, this army is really coming along great and at what a pace!
The extra detailing on the tank is looking good, very nice!

Ok, got cracking last nite on the heavy weapons team, only managed to get 1 to a presentable standard (and even then its lacking some minor details). Never the less, for your viewing pleasure:

@Voltarian: Sorry, never commented on your ratlings. Good effort for a 1st GS attempt. I would suggest using a wire armature (paperclip/wire) to make basice shape. Then build up in layers, if you need to, in order to get correct proportians. It will also add increased stability, but remember, too little GS is always better (easier to fix) than too much. If you build up in layers, be sure to allow time for each layer to set/harden. This is where a production line of 5-8 models can be handy, to stagger the time of setting & sculpting.

Firstly, a WIP stormbolter for my commander, made from a shortened ork shoota with imperial icons and two bolter barrels:

(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FStormbolterWIP.jpg&hash=993c73416987c5dd8208a0611fbf4762a1a49ee0)

and a Medic (one of two carrying bolters). The circles of Green stuff will be painted with the compulsary red cross

Please let me know how you feel about the medic as i haven't quite made up my mind about him. Perhaps painting will improve it

Just finished off the serg so here's a pic of the 2nd squad, the 'running' squad.

Title: Re: 22nd Pianosan Regiment - "the Catch-22's" - An IG Log
Post by: Raukov on February 21, 2008, 02:07:07 PM: To make the Stormbolter
Bits needed: Ork Shoota, 2 x Boltguns (decorational: Skull from bolter, winged skull from cadian helmet)

1) Take the shoota, cut back to second line of rivets.
2) Chop the entire front of each bolter off, trying to leave a thin strip of plastic holding the barrel together with the other gubbinz together.
3)Turn the bolter barrels upside down and glue them to the front of the shooter alongside eachother.
4) Cut off the sight from the front of the shoota and reattach centrally to the new front. Attach icons as you see fit.

Speaking of stormbolters...

Here's a WIP pic of the Colonel.

Didn't get much done last nite (well, it was a friday nite) but managed to do one of the greaves to a presentable standard with the other one curing in the GS mould (you can never get enough skulls). Please let me know what you think because if it needs changing sooner is so much better than later. Cheers

Post by: Raukov on February 24, 2008, 10:42:14 AM: Frogging, thats the word. Cheers Cpl. Lee, i've been calling it braiding.

Ok, well the two squads and the Officers/ncos are undercoated. After this spurt of modelling i feel like i need to get back to painting. Heres the list to see what will be coming up in the modelling/painting pipeline.

One more on the sprues, planning on arming it with a shortened lascannon and it will have the traditional 20mm GS'ed base as the roof.

Not sure if i should post this here, but it will allow you to know whats in the pipline in terms of modelling.

The list is as follows:
HQ:
HQ Squad
J/Officer (Honorifica Imperius, Cara/SBolter)
Medic/Standard, 2 x Bolter
G/Launcher
107

Sentinal
Lascannon, ACC, SLight
71

Fire Support
HBx3
80

Elite:
7 x Ratlings
77

Troops
Command Squad
J/Officer,Carapace, Medic, 2x Bolter, L/Cannon
83

10 x Squad
M/Launcher
75

10 x Squad
M/Launcher
75

5 x Squad
Flamer
36

Armoured Fist Squad
VSergeant,Bolter,Autocannon
82
Chimera
HB,HullmountedHB,SL
88

Fast Attack
Sentinal
Autocannon,ACC, SLight
66

Heavy Support
Leman Russ
Lascannon
155

995pts (now that the colonel has lost his bionics).

Not part of the list are the 3 fantasy ogres on sprues lying around doing nothing. 3 Ogryns come to 75 and so are virtually interchangeable with the Ratling squad. They would be a blast to convert and allow me a bit more tactical freedom.

Post by: Raukov on February 24, 2008, 06:18:05 PM: Well, i've had some requests for a step by step, so i kept a log whilst painting the prototype for the average grunt. I tried to get balance between speed and looks and this one toom bout 15-25minutes, not going at any real pace.

Step 1:
Spray black and drybrush Codex Grey over the model, using a large brush
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FTSBS1.jpg&hash=7b01b648821a359a3faeaa2bf7e7ecc57c31482b)

Step 2:
Paint skin areas bronzed flesh
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FTSBS2.jpg&hash=3696fdbc6b3d77200f6e12f46ab6fda8e03ef504)

Step 3:
Paint pads black and add tiger stripes to all grey areas except the armour. Go over boots and gun
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FTSBS3.jpg&hash=d951925e0edceae8bd3d8cd46291493a631c3778)

Step 4:
Draw smaller accents (parrallel lines) o the black stripes. Go over winged skulls
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FTSBS4.jpg&hash=b64d88704141a96d077753d8841bf16299227c82)

Step 5:
Paint accessories, watered down flesh wash and then elf flesh highlight for the skin, then base.

Post by: Cpl. Lee on February 26, 2008, 11:08:52 PM: hey, ive had a quick peep through your pics of the colonel as im looking to replicate the frogging you've done for one of my trench fighter commanders. i noticed a small niggle, the grenade launcher 'replacement drum' is hollow, and you can see the hollow section where it is mounted on his leg.

hope i dont appear anal, but it would bug me if it was mine. i did do a comparison last night on the replacement drum/grenade launcher ammo holder with the shoota drum - its on an almost identical scale, great job. i dont think its been quite acknowledged how handy that is! most people use yarrick, or the marine commander one, i think this is a little more fitting for a non augmented human character! ;D

by the way, can you give me a brief description on how you did your frogging? it looks simple enough, but i dont want to tempt fate and look like a smart arse!!!! ;D

@Cpl Lee: To do the frogging, simply roll out long thin tube of GS, wait 10-15 minutes to cure a bit, then either fold/cut in half, lay the two tubes parrallel to eachother, grip at both ends and twist carefully. It doesn't necessarily have to be perfect all the way down, as you can simply cut out the twisted sections you want and use where you see fit. Hope that helps mate

@CDSniper: Thanks, and i think i will go over belts in black now

Does he need a different colour fuel tank? If so, which?

and a random trooper

@CDS: Very simple scheme, easy and quick to paint. The biggest pain was the crosses, i could have gone over them ad-infinitum and never get them perfect

@Voltarian: Thanks, good to be back after being MIA with my Chaos Dwarfs and DoW

Post by: Catachan Devil Sniper on July 23, 2008, 02:11:09 PM: Maybe some shoulder straps on the flamer tanks so it wouldnt look like its floating on his back. You should maybe have him with a cigar ;)

How did you do that GS flag without getting it stuck together or ripping?

The Guardsman with the lasgun is cool. Looks like my new Zeonic Guardsmen. The only thing I dont like about urban vets is that they should maybe have some kind of tan. But they could be naturally pale due to their home planet. *shrugs*
Title: Re: 22nd Pianosan Regiment - "the Catch-22's" - An IG Log
Post by: Raukov on August 1, 2008, 10:09:07 PM: Pale is the new tan (at least in Britain i think :p)

The flag was made by rolling out gs in between a fold of clingfilm, then flattened by heavy flat things (such as books etc), after that leave to semi-cure, cut out the desired shape and bend to the desired flutter. Hope that helps

Well, after a week of merriment for my 21st i finally got some time to myself so i made a start at least. I got rid of the GS twirl (i didn't make it neat enough to make the final cut)

(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FStandardPIP.jpg&hash=5bc98d9d918fca56cd186936051b4917f755b044)

Just need to make a flashy design to go on it. I'm running through a few "Heller-esque" latin phrases to mark them out as the catch-22's on the banner. For example:

a fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi - a precipice in front, wolves behind (between a rock and a hard place)

diem perdidi - I have lost a day (another day wasted)

potius foedari quam mori - dishonour before death

Sadly the humble British state school system doesn't teach latin, so if any of you Latinophones out there notice any grammatical errors or can come up with better then please don't hesitate

Post by: Raukov on August 5, 2008, 01:23:43 PM: Thanks again Voltarian. No progress on the banner because although i thought it looked bare, nothing i put to fill up the gaps (text, transfers, winged skull) didn't work. Do you think i could get away with it as it is? maybe a few purity seals, and then damage (burn holes) once the rear design is done.

However, i did finally get round to a project i'd had in the works for a while:

(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FBoneEad.jpg&hash=6cb28d3023f129c5b52dca67a7796b64301fe0f1)

Just finished sculpting it so i thought i'd show it off. Still needs details added (grenades, pouches) as well as a beret sculpted.

Also, should i add normal grenades (maybe a bit small) or i've got some metal ork stikbomz that could do the job. Here's a comparison shot with one of my (understandably nervous looking) grunts

ANd for those of you wondering where all my guard backpacks have gone, i was hoarding them up for this. Had a spare trooper available so here's the mock up. I'm rather fond of the little guy

So out came the chaos black and back to the drawing board i went. Once that was done i put bullet holed/las burns into it and made the purity seals. Does anything need to be added/improved?

Jet Black?
Bone white?
Grey Knights grey?
Other?

I undercoated a bunch of stuff last night (late) and must have started basecoating the sentinal because when i woke up it was half done (either that or I have some very polite and geeky burglars in my area). Finished it off and here's the result:

Post by: Raukov on August 9, 2008, 05:59:21 PM: Had a bit more free time so painted the 1st storm trooper up. It was actually an easier and less time consuming paintjob than the normal trooper, mostly due to the lack of a face. Anyway, enjoy

Well, i was working out my 1000pts list and i was 25 odd points short so i decided to chuck a psycher into each of the command squads (hardly a gamewinner, but at least it's a 1 wound ablative shield for the Officers). After a quick rummage i managed to find this guy and the rest of my digga gang. He was painted when Gorkamorka came out so apologies for the painting...

(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv163%2FRossnowski%2FPsycher.jpg&hash=e4a1f99d48c4e93964d3c63f7d41be05d87c0cc4)

Anyway, my question is does this guy fit the bill? Does he need conversion to imperialise him? Should i just go out and get the normal psychers (2 in a blister, nice enough sculpts)?

In fluff terms he'd be one of the nomads living in the wastes outside the hive. Radioactivity/pollution has lead to a high number of psychics which are then inducted/press ganged into service.

Post by: Illumini on August 20, 2008, 12:53:27 PM: That's a gorgeous model, keep it in. The imperial psykers look bland and boring. I think he easily fits the bill, and with a base-switch and a new paint-job, he would look great.
Title: Re: 22nd Pianosan Regiment - "the Catch-22's" - An IG Log
Post by: Heretek on August 20, 2008, 06:51:19 PM: The only thing I would do is rebase him on a proper 25mm round base, just so he doesn't look too out of place.

Out of interest, could we see some shots of the Diggas? I've been getting steadily more interested in GorkaMorka after finding the rules on the Specialist Games website.

Finished painting/rebasing the Psyker. Bit of a rush job but hey, if he performs well on the field he may get some extra paint treatment:

And in the light of the new edition and their increased importance, i decided to start making 3 themed objective markers, so here's the first of them. It's the entrance to an underground bunker/air raid shelter:

Does it need any extra touches? Perhaps a roman numeral or a small emblem, what do you think?

Post by: Raukov on May 3, 2009, 12:03:40 PM: Well, it's been a while but i haven't been totally idle. Whilst in France i managed to grab some ebay deals so when i came back from uni for a few days, i had a lot of restauration to do. Amongst the wins was a hellhound/chimera/LR/Valhallen platoon package/Chenkov. The Valhallens i'm going to strip and then sell back on ebay to claw back some cash but i will get to keep the classic Commissioner with Power fist (one of my favourite figures) and the old missionary with a book on a stick that came with it.

The vehicles were in a bit of a state but after much cursing and cutting, i managed to prise the chimera apart and start with the rebuild. First time i've dealt with plasticard and rivets so i'm fairly pleased with the results.

Second lot i got was 3 mangled figures for about a pound. These were a Col. Schafer missing arms and torso detail (future penal squad sgt.), the doc from Gaunts ghosts missing arms and leg (but the head is a unique sculpt for a future sgt.) and Gaunt himself with right arm and bolt pistol missing.

First up the skinny man himself. Added arm from empire free company and a bolt pistol with drum feed.

Post by: Raukov on November 14, 2009, 09:02:11 AM: Not too long, just a quick dry brush of codex grey over a black undercoat, then go over it with the black stripes, highlight those with white stripes, highlight the grey up to fortress grey, add rivets, add weathering.

Bit more of an update:

Some of you may have seen me toying with ratlings in this army, well i'm afraid the condition has just gotten worse an d i've got it onto my head to make a ratling platoon. Here's where i am so far:

Squad 1 complete:

The project has come to a halt as i have ran out of guard/human heads. So if any of you fine 40konline posters feels generous and would like to contribute a spare head or two to the project, i'd greatly appreciate it.

I've also painted up 2 commissars

Post by: Raukov on April 9, 2010, 02:21:57 PM: I give my blessing ::)

Group shot may be a while as half of the lads are in London, and the other in Birmingham (at uni).

Gasmask tutorial could also be as long. Essentially, just make like a ski mask shape with the green stuff then add a small circle of gs to the mouth. Smooth that out then when dry drill a hole and insert wire. Bobs your mother's brother.

Anywho, next up a special character, Ex-P.F.C Wintergreen (Sly Marbo)

An ex-P.F.C. because of his constant urge to go AWOL, Wintergreen has been demoted so many times that he entertains hopes of becoming an ex-general. Due to his position in charge of the 22nd's regimental mail distribution, he has a aquired a knack for forging documents, destroying mail and all kinds of espionage.

Wintergreen, a.k.a Washington Irving, a.k.a Irving Washington, is known to habitually go missing. Often he's spotted sneaking off from regimental HQ, occasionally (and accidentally) through the enemy lines, laying diversionary explosives to make good his escape. Days later, military police will finally have brought him back to base.

Post by: Raukov on April 23, 2010, 02:14:03 PM: Here's the painted trooper. He was originally just going to sit in one of the stationary squads as a reg. trooper but on a scenic base (40mm) but maybe he's too injured. In that case should i model an extra foot and just have him getting some r and r?

It could serve as an objective but i wanted a few extra lasgun troopers (to be able to swap in and out special weapons, etc) and had a spare leg, some arms and a head, so i GS pressed the torso and sculpted the other half a leg. The 40mm base design was something i've been playing with for a while cos i needed a way to showcase some posters.

Therefore, i continued my trend of squeezing every last figure possible out of my bitz box:

so none of thier pre heresy Light howitzers would be captured by the enemy The regiment replaced thier normal wheels with det packs. much like the ones that sly commander kept about his person

Lol. Sorry I couldnt help myself. Perhaps some actual model wheels or tires would do? Not saying that those dont look good for it. Im just sayin they look an awfull lot like the detention disk wintergreen is carrying... unless he has slyly stolen a wheel to divert attention from his escape from base XD

And polished off the Chimera and stowage. Added GS to the large bedroll on the back to make it sag over the sides of the roof and (thanks to a zen like, beta-blockeresque post-world cup pub painting session) wrote Pianosa on both scrolls.

I got a few ebay tanks and have been taking them apart and rebuilding to my tastes. First up is an old Leman Russ, IMO the best stowage job i've done on a tank. Still WIP (need to fill up the front bumber space) but let me know what you think/can be improved on.

Let me know what you think/anything that could be added. Not as much stowage as on the Russ but i've added spent shells from the H/Bolter and had my first go at magnetised weapons (turret) so i can make various attachments to play it as Hellhound and variants or even a hydra:

Next up, a trooper taking cover behind a bulkhead. I wanted it to look like he'd just thrown himself against it and is about to return fire. His legs are from a plastic Orlock model.

I've just sculpted another set of legs so it looks like i've been able to stretch another squad of 10 out of the ol' bitzbox and £2's worth of ebay legs. And they say Warhammer isn't value for money :wink:

So, to kick things off, here is my second Ogryn:

And another generic bitz box trooper, this time based on a plastic Orlock:

Then i started getting a bit more creative and tried my hand at female Cadians. Now please be kind, as these are some of my first near total sculpts, and although i could definately improve on some aspects, i'm fairly pleased overall.

Here's my first attempt (bit too butch, didn't shave down the limbs enough IMO)
