Title: (AP 2017) Keeping it Oldschool - August entry with decent photos
Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 19, 2017, 07:55:21 AM: No idea what I'm going to do yet and I probably won't make a proper decision until I return from holiday next week.

Main choices are :-

GW Empire troops older sculpts & GW Skaven older sculpts
More VSF Japanese troops
More VSF British troops
Boshin War both sides
Fantasy Japanese theme
Rogue Trader Imperial Guard & Rogue Trader Orcs

cheers

Or it's always good to see some skaven too

Post by: Hupp n at em on June 19, 2017, 05:31:47 PM: Love seeing you do Japanese projects but I can understand if you'd want a change of pace! lol. I need to actually stick with the AP project this year...totally screwed the pooch last year.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 26, 2017, 12:49:10 AM: Right then, I think the choice will be Oldschool! As in, fantasy Empire and Skaven and also RT Imperial Guard and RT orcs :D

All four of these have been bubbling away in the background for sometime now and I've amassed quite a collection of each (photos to follow).

I will swap and change between them to help keep the interest fresh and try to keep the units small (ten figures or so at a time or one vehicle).

I already painted an Imp trooper and an orc sometime ago so the colour schemes for these are sorted (not the best photos).

I've also got some Empire and Skaven figures already painted but no pictures as of yet. I'll also need to sort out group shots of all four collections.

Post by: syrinx0 on June 26, 2017, 03:21:11 AM: I'm interested to see which version of skaven you are painting. Really old school slaves perhaps?
Title: Re: (AP2017) Keeping it Oldschool!
Post by: Vanvlak on June 26, 2017, 06:16:37 AM: Love the ork!
Waitm so you can do multiple forces? Hmm :D :D :D
Title: Re: (AP2017) Keeping it Oldschool!
Post by: Andym on June 26, 2017, 09:38:35 AM: Great stuff mate! :-* Those are still the best Guard figures to n my opinion! They're used to be some good beastmen/guard models around at that time too.

Surely you need some old skool armour to go with them too? ;)
Title: Re: (AP2017) Keeping it Oldschool!
Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 26, 2017, 05:05:26 PM: Cheers fellas.

For the most part the Skaven are the Jes Goodwin sculpts 8)

Multiple forces as I'm a glutton for punishment ;D

Got some old rhinos, a pred or two, loads of orky bikes etc, a steam tank or two and a few crazy Skaven 'vehicles' (using the word in its loosest sense lol)

cheers

Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 30, 2017, 10:55:16 PM: Got my first 'entry' done. Had it base coated for a while but it was a good one to get done first :)

Dunno what's going to be next though o_o

Title: Re: (AP2017) Keeping it Oldschool! First entry
Post by: Elk101 on July 01, 2017, 08:04:00 AM: I like that a lot. I never had any Orks and the old RT ones hold so much more appeal than any of the versions that followed. I found my old Eldar stuff last night and instantly decided to keep it. I wouldn't mind some Orky opponents.
Title: Re: (AP2017) Keeping it Oldschool! First entry
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 01, 2017, 08:14:47 AM: Cheers fellas :)

The check wasn't too bad as I had rivets around the edge of the hatch to help position them although the sculpt itself is a bit wonky lol

It's a bit difficult not to start collecting Eldar and SM's as well lol

cheers

Don't worry mate, they'll get replaced. They were only old shots of previous figures to give a taste of what's to come.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 11, 2017, 08:19:31 PM: Got the next entry primed, three rat ogres. Only one is 'oldschool' as the poses are a bit static but he'll count as a leader as I think the bigger the rat ogre the thicker he is lol

Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 17, 2017, 10:46:22 AM: Due to peer pressure I changed the dread base from green to red (it does mean I can use it on my Mars terrain).

Now that does make sense.
Good thing that you have peers with some.
:D

Better dig those wotsits out for you later, hadn't L?

Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 24, 2017, 09:09:25 PM: Here's Augusts entry (if a bit early). I need to get a head start on a unit of ten Imperial guard, hence jumping the gun a little bit :D

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/29/2619_19_07_17_11_05_45.JPG)

I'll take some better photos in a day or two, still trying to sort out a decent photo set up.

Keep it coming.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 26, 2017, 11:47:12 PM: Thanks chaps :)

I'm getting ahead mainly to keep me motivated because I dropped out really early last year ::)

I've got Septembers offering assembled but they will need a little green stuff here and there and a bit more cleaning before the primer goes on. The lasguns have been left off so I can paint the regiment badges. They'll have the same red bases as the ork dreadnaught.

Title: Re: (AP 2017) Keeping it Oldschool - August entry
Post by: Elk101 on July 27, 2017, 04:49:55 PM: They're a blast from the past. I like these much more than some of the more recent offerings. I always wanted a beastman Imperial Guard force but never did it.
Title: Re: (AP 2017) Keeping it Oldschool - August entry
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 30, 2017, 09:27:47 AM: I've got the beastman sergeant (a lucky find at a bring and buy) but they seem to go for gold dust on eBay etc ::)

I've taken some fairly decent photos of the entry for August so will post them now as I might not get a chance tomorrow.
