Cakes Guard Army- Valkyrie etc... 24/1/10
« on: January 14, 2010, 06:44:32 PM »
At the minute i have a 1500 pt guard army which at full steength is completely  illegal, i dont have a platoon command and the mandatory inf. squads. To remedy this, i bought a battle force, i intend to blog all the way up into a fully painted army from what i have now to what i want to have when i'm finished. I dont build my army around a list i build my army and make a list that fits around it, this is because my favourite part of the hobby is building and modelling figures as opposed to painting or gaming.

So without further ado...

What i have so far:



I also have a 3/4 finished Valk but it's in the case dis-assembled
My fun new battleforce:



My workspace and platoon command sprue:



So off i set beginning by bouncing squad setups of Raktra, decided on a CC orientated command squad that can still lay down close fire and give orders.

By the end of a few episodes of house and several flicks through the 'dex i came up with...








Next update tomorrow night, including infantry squad number 1 and infantry squad number 2 made from reclaimed models

Todays update

Made a special weapon squad from my heavy weapon sprues among other things from the box





Also reparied some of my more rundown heavy wepaon teams, fixed two broken Lascannon teams and regenerated a HB team



That is all for now, hope to finish building tomorrow at GW will also spray figs and move onto painting, get pics up ASAP

Finished building BF yesterday and got everything sprayed, managed to spray and paint the sentinal in the space of an evening, basecoated all of the special weapons all that's left to do is to flesh out the hands and faces and fill in the metal on the first lasgunner and he's done.

Some sentinal pics:




More by thursday hopefully on a completed special weapons squad

Curse your ability to keep on top of things. And not have too many beslubbering armies.

Matches nicely with (what I remember of) the Valk. I like the red on the Plasma Cannon.

Well i've been busy revising since my last update so have made very little progress, however i do have these to show for my efforts





In addition to this i've also finished the valkyrie i've been working on and off on since last may back when i started guard.

















This is all for now, unlikely to get much done over the next week or so given my modular exams, should have a substantial update in about a week and a half though.
