ta dude :)

Didn't manage to finish my skitarri, but i should have them done today.

Next week I need to finish off my Enforcers for the tale of painters thread

Speaking of…

Enforcer Peacekeepers


Progress has been made :)

but I did
Get carried away by BOW’sRelic Knights week!



Picked up a calico Kate (love the space pirates)

and she lost me £10!!!!!!

Chaos cards look like their getting rid of their current stock.

Decent kit all in all, i like the amount of options but it is still restic. Most of the details are nice and its better than the majority of the Deadzone v1 and seditions wars minis but the face is really soft.

Ill get her painted up soon :)

Can anyone with some relics knights minis measure some normal humans from foot to top of he head.

Pretty please :)


Magnetised Landing ramp
The Enforcer Interceptor ramp has been magnetised



Nice and easy job :)

The ramp now stays closed. the fit on the other parts should mean that this is the only bit i need to magnates to be able to change it between the two configurations.

And the main event…..

Repainted “True” Scale Deathwatch Cassius

I wasn't happy with the paint job on Cassius Face so i redid Him, ill delete the old pics shortly.



Close ups



Scale pic


Now I'm Completely Happy with him :)

First month of 2017 out of the way and i managed to get 10 minis painted :)

but Fell off the hobby budget wagons massively :(



this isn't including the bases I've ordered from waylaid, or the SLA, mantic and battle system kick-starters and added money too in the pledge manager.

re the AVP purchase got it at 60% off from chaos cards, and because it was missing a few bits its prompted promos to send me more of my KS pledge.

Enforcer Peacekeepers

Done and dusted :)

Really happy with how the damage on the shields has come out.
so close up



Martian Big Stompy Robot




Finished but I'm not happy with the depth of the silver. I’ll likely redo him at some point.

Can't see anything wrong with the painting of the Martian Robot, it looks very good. And every time I see your enforcers I regret having sold mine  :( Damn good minis and your painting just enhance that!

Hi again

Had a fair few months out of the hobby, six nations, Six nations depression, Horizon zero dawn & Mass effect andromeda being a few of the Time stealers.

what have i done since my last post.

good question

I've bought stuff


I may have fallen back down the 40K wormhole hard when 8th was announced…

Put together some of my Raging heroes minis

They are a right pain in the £@£@£ to put together

Did very little painting, current Wip pile



and

All I've finished are some boxes


and Touched up my “True” Scale Deathwatch Chaplain Cassius




 
new base.

“Suffer not the Xenos!”


Needless to say my hobby plans for this year are massively out the window.
And as the girlfriend has noticed I'm buying stuff but not painting i need help staying motivated and painting what I've got otherwise I'm heading towards a disapproving look off next time i buy something.

Please drop a comment to keep a dude motivated, stop me buying anything for a while or give some constructive criticism to make a dude better :)

Thanks for looking

Excellent, when was it announced that Jason Statham was playing Cassius?

The inside of the containers looks good.

I've been resisting making fully detailed interior for my Armoured Containers so far. You are not helping with that last photo. That looks Fantastic! Good looking Alien too.

Thanks for the kind comments all :)

“True” Scale vs Primaris 
 
DISCLAIMER: Please note the reference to true scale marines is my personal preference and interpretation and not a statement on your marines not being good/correct or a demand that all people must do what I and others have done.
As mentioned in the OP, for me Space marine miniatures need to be at least a taller than normal people (guard, skittari etc) by about a head, the classic “true” scaling method gives me this and makes me happy :).
 
In short there’s no need to get angry or salty

 
With that out of the way
 

WELCOME LADY’S AND GENTLEMEN
 
Standing in the Blue corner the “True” Scale marine


 
Standing in the Grey corner the young upstart Primaris marine

 
Round 1
Comparison!!!

 


The Primaris Marine is 38mm tall the True Scale Marine also 38mm both measurements foot to top of head the True scale seems a bit bigger because of the higher base.

 
Round 2
Family Pic

 

 

Heights in MM (foot to top of head) from left to right
38mm, 38mm, 37mm, 39mm, 38mm, 39mm
 
 
“I thought you were supposed to be taller?”


Pretty good match in my opinion and I'm so Happy :)

For me Primaris marines are just what Marines should be in minis size and the rules. (The old rules i used to use for the true scale marines were each single marine counts as 2 and the primaris are really close to this)

Not a fan of the fluff for the Primaris but I can see that there would be a need from GW to not just release the new marines that are taller without any background explanation.

Finally I can now look at a new Marine kit and not immediately start thinking about how i can scale it up.
