750 Points list and missing models

I've been trying to build up a 750 point army that should be able to fend for itself in most situations, and, after discussing with a number of people that brought some valid points here is what I got:

• Librarian - 100pts
• 4x Scout Snipers +Heavy Bolter +Camo cloaks 100pts
  
• 10xTactical marines +Flamer +Missile launcher +Meltabombs - 175pts
• Rhino - 35pts
• 10xTactical marines +Meltagun +Plasma Cannon + Meltabombs - 185pts
  
• Dreadnought (Melta and CCW) with extra armor 120pts

Grand total: 750 pts

As it turns out I'm missing some stuff, but I shall fix it! See what's missing:

• Dreadnought - Still need to paint this.
• Meltagun marine - I wasted my melta gun on one of my commanders so I now have to build another marine and find a melta for it.
• Plasma cannon - the good news is I have assembled 6 marines from my devastator box, but it needs paint as well :D
• Librarian - I'm gonna make a librarian out of a regular marine but give him a paint job to stand out and SCROLLS. The base model is done and it should look good once it's painted, plus it's gonna be a test subject for my terminator librarian marine :)
  

Assault squad done and army update

Here's the last part of my assault squad. I've done the jetpack flames in a somewhat different way, trying to keep the darker portions of the flame between the beginning and the end of it. It was also much faster since the layering wasn't as complicated as the first flames. You can see in the picture below the new flame (left) versus the old one (right) at the two marines in the center.


Also, this just in! ARMY PIX! A brief sum takes this to about 1400 points. I still have one battleforce to assemble and paint as well as a Librarian, Predator, 2 Land Raiders , a Devastator and a Terminator close combat squad which would bring everything past 2500. Wish me luck! ;) Oh and sorry for the dust.. I've been living in a construction yard for the past month or so.

Assault squad & Khador

Here's half of my assault squad with the chapter logo freehanded on the left shoulder.




Also, some work in progress Khador. So far only the reds have been done. Much more work needs to go into them :)

Warmachine planner

I haven't posted for a long time, mainly because I was working on a little "secret" project. It's a small Warmachine army builder, and today I can start showing it to the world.

You can go check it out by clicking here: http://www.forceplanner.com/warmachine.html .

It's still under heavy development, so if you have any feedback on it don't hesitate to comment. But how is this Warhammer related ? The structure behind it is extremely data-driven and a Warhammer version of it should be very easy to make, providing I have all the required data.

Now, on to painting:

• I finished half of my assault squad, pictures incoming when batteries become available.
• Tried some Reaper paints for the first time. Their Olive Green (which is equivalent to GWs Camo Green) has an amazing coverage and flow. I'll play some more with it, but it seems that those paints are winners, at least in some nuances.
  
• Painted the armor plates of a Khador warjack using Vallejo Model Color paints. Very good pigment, good coverage, but vinyl paints dry very strange on the pallet and you tend to get some solid paint on your brush if you're not working fast enough.

Assault squad progress

Here's a shot of my some of my assault marines. 3 of them are almost done, only some minor tweaks and the bases need to be completed. Also, in the extremes are my tries to do burning jetpacks.



Enjoy

Predator DONE

Finally, finished the tank. Next up.. some work and the assault squad I keep postponing because of .. various reasons.




Enjoy :)

Predator WIP

Here's are some pictures of my work in progress Predator. The main chassis is almost done, but it still needs some more work. The turret, guns and sponsoons are also WIP.

The tank's main gun and sponsoons are magnetized so they can be swapped at will.


Enjoy :)
