Progress on the Black Templars! Misc Thoughts on Orks!

7/18/2014

Comments

 
Back from the beach and onwards to duty!  I must turn towards my ETL vows and finish my Templars before continuing on my Orky devices!  Now on to some progress shots!
Picture
Worked on the templars for a few hours this evening.  Just some base coats.  I started working on the bottom layers of gold/bronze.  Covering four HQ's with even a base coat takes some significant time.


This is also the first time when you start seeing the model come to life, as bits and pieces start coming to the surface.


This chaplain terminator model for example...is just covered in detail.  I keep finding more and more pieces of glorious exquisite detail.

Picture
The newer chaplain model (by comparison), is almost lacking in detail.  It is a fantastic pose, with great table presence...but there is significantly less detail.  I guess he hasn't earned his terminator armor yet :).

Picture
Back to the inquisitor model.  I've been working on the leathers, trying to figure out what sections to paint in which colors.  There are layers and layers of armor, cloth, tabard, and cloak on this figure.  Chains, cables, hoses, crystals.  It goes on and on.  I'll keep looking to Todd's work as inspiration. :)

Picture
Last but not least, the golden man himself, Helbrecht.  I think I'm going to swap the colors around a bit.  Going to paint his tabard white (and scrolls), the inner cloak red, and outer cloak black.  His armor will be a worn burnished gold.  We'll see how it turns out in the end.



So over my vacation, I read a lot of 40k stuff.  The entire 7th edition rulebook.  The ork codex. The ghazkull codex.  Also got a look at the formations in red waaagh.  And we've got more data slates and formations coming.  So many options.  Went from a drought of orks, to an absolute flood.

By this point you've read tons of blogs on everyone's interpertation of what is bad, what is good, etc etc.  Some of which include people "giving up 40k for good" or "selling all their models".  That's not me.  I started 40k when 5th edition came out.  I've enjoyed every moment of it.  And now thanks to the blogging community, I enjoy it even more!  I love building, painting, and moving my plastic soldiers around, and watching tesla hits blow up dozens of killa kans.  It's all great fun.
So now on to yet another blogs thoughts.

The Good

Options...so many options!!!!!!  I am having serious trouble figuring out what to bring.  It's more a story of "everything is awesome" more then a "oh no, what has happened!"


My favorite unit changes?
Tank busters.  
Stormboyz
Warbikers 
Deff koptas

Buggies (though I'd never take them...tesla would wipe a whole unit in one shot)
Lootas.  Moving them means that the standard loota cookie cutter lists are dead in the water.  I was so tired of the biker nobz/loota lists.  Will be awesome to see some variety now.
Dem Formations! (Dread mob, bullyboyz, red waaghs, snikrots kommandos)
Three HQ CAD option by default! 
Rokkit's everywhere!
Mek's!
painboyz!
Relics (100% amazing.  I need to take more HQ's to use them all!)
New Meganobz Models are Awesome (especially the mek's!)
Mek Gunz...though I'll probably never own the model.  

The Bad

I've got to learn how to play my army over again.
Formations and two detachments are almost necessary now.
Why didn't they give deff dreads ere we go to begin with?  They're driven/made of/by orks and dedicated CC walkers.  It stinks you have to take a 1200+ point formation to give them the rules they should have by default.  That is just my saddness over them...because I love deff dread models.  But taking 1 deff dread in a slot where I can fit 6 killa kans....


All in all I'm pretty happy.  Excited about what is coming up next!  I'm currently working on a fast/slow list.  Once it starts getting tested, I'll report back.

Thanks for stopping by guys!  I'll be painting a bunch this weekend, so Monday's post should have some good progress photos for you.  (I'll also be back on the M/T schedule for posts).  Have a great weekend everyone!
