After all this work, finnished! Fun

Hey all,

Finally got around to build and base the army while waiting for my MTO to arrive.

I think it's around 1000pts at the moment. I still have a Basilisk and another Leman Russ to build. Hoping to have it all painted so then it is just command and platoon to complete when the order arrives.

Hope you like it and sorry photos are not great haha. :)

I wanted to share the progress on these two rescued Chimeras. They are the 1995 GW plastic if they look a bit different to you!

I’ve got some battle damage and final weathering left before I call these done. Let me know what you think as I was trying to capture the original look from the Medusa V campaign all those years ago!

Got my platoon.

All lumped together in a big plastic box. Models rattling around and rubbing against each other.

Disappointed at the packaging of these very expensive models. Would not accept it as packaging for any other 150£ product.

The bayonets are bent and so are the medic syringe. Come on gw. You can do better.

Just waiting on my MTO to round this baby out!

So things have been going slow , I have too many armies.

But I worked a ten man test model squad that is still not done, my paint desk is chaos.... but I primed a whole bunch of miniatures. When with a brown to tan zeninthal.

I have 4 more squads to base and few heavy weapons to finish up. Cannot wait for fall and more hobby time , im hopeful the brown prime will be good for all the standard vostroyan colours.

Absolutely adore the Aethon Sentinel, and they work great for Armoured Sentinels, but the roof mounted gun is a bit wonky. Opted for some simple kitbashing to slap them on the side, making room for the chainsaw and hunter killer missiles.

Ordered an hour after available in the UK. Sculpts look great. Plus some painted minis so it's not *just* a box post

Finally arrived! UK based and I ordered pretty much immediately upon the MTO going live.

My first impression is the quality of the casting seems way better than the last MTO, which is great. The models seemed to be covered in far more release agent than usual, so I wonder if the two are connected (suspect not).

Now I just need to find the time to work on them…

My take on Vostroyan Cyclops

I painted a few Vostroyans for sale on order. It's been a while since I've worked with metal, but the weight and ringing are incredibly satisfying. The sculpting is also beyond praise, the figurines are magical.

Hi everyone, I just painted up a new Rogal Dorn (on the left) trying to match the old original color scheme Vostroyan tanks were depicted in white dwarf. I painted my older tanks following Duncan’s/games workshop tutorial for Vostroyan armor (tank on the right) but I think I prefer the Pale olive look better.

This is not exactly a fair comparison because I haven’t done the weathering damage or added snow for the newer tank (left) but I’m still trying to decide what color to use for damage marks and if I want to try to repaint the rest of my tanks to match. So thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

E composta da 2 cecchino, 3veterano, 4 soldati,5 avistatore, 6 artigliere, 7consigliere, 8 operatore vox, 9 pichiatore, 10 medico. non ho trovato nessuna miniatura simile allo zelota e all guastatore. cosa ne pensate?

These guys arrived yesterday to Spain

Although it's kind of been done before I was able to get my parts, I was finally able to build my very own rendition of the Lord Solar!

On the basis of Tsar Boris of Kislev, I got myself a few bits from the Vostroyan Sergeant with Plasmagun and Powersword, plus a Space Wolf Thunderwolf Leg.

Putting this model on an elevated base made from Citadel Osgiliath Floor and Ramparts Cathedral, I achieved a look which is imposing and playable, casting aside every accusation of basing for advantage (quite the opposite in fact).

This has been a fun build. I will enjoy painting it once the glue has dried. In the last few pictures you can see the Hussars he will be riding alongside of, plus and Vostroyani-fied Commisar, waiting for their (final) coats of paint.

Enjoy!!
