Jakhals and Lord On Juggernaut

 

I put the Jakhals together yesterday, along with the Lord on Juggernaut, with the plan to paint those week, the Berzerkers are planned for next weeks. The remaining squad of Berzerkers and mauler fiend are due next month, with another box of Jakhals planned for next month. 

The Jakhals kit itself is very good, and with the cad cam file there, could probably be turned into a Catachan squad pretty easily.

I'm planning to base coat them tonight, with 4 planned for wraith bone, 3 Dawn Stone and 3 moot green with a the plan to a contrast flesh coat before I call it a night.

Okay moot green did not work, I was hoping something I could pass off as Warp tainted chems and stims, but that looks really bad. I'll dig out some dwarf flesh to touch those 3 up tomorrow, but dawn stone grey and wraith bone both worked well. 

The plan is to do the leather in fang and crimson wash, shirts and pants will have a Leman Russ grey level, with the Greaves getting a Fenris grey coat to make them stand out

Onto the Lord on Juggernaut got The Fang base coat on as well as the crimson wash, finished just after 10pm tonight.

Tomorrow night and Thursday morning find the skin tone, get those 3 touched up, then Fang on the clothes of the Jakhals and crimson wash and the brass on the Juggernaut and rider.

 Thursday night getting the Leman Russ and Fenris grey on everything and weapons  which will leave bases to do and the Berzerkers to build for next week. 

11th Edition Plans.

 

Big Plans For 11th Edition? 

Not really. 

The Lion's Blades. 

Need to find the box with the outriders in and see how many squads I have,{3 squads of 6 bikers} plan A is add a 3 of the new land speeders for now and get the Astartes Codex and Dark Angels suppliment when they get released. If there's a limited edition box released for the Ravenwing then maybe get that as well. 

So the plan would be 3 squads of 3 bikers backed by ATVs with 3 squads of 3 bikers backed by the 3 Land Speeders, there's a Storm Speeder and a Vengeance Speeder and a Nephalim fighter, with a second still on sprue, then have a fight with my mates Speed Waaargh. 

Björn The Betrayer 

I'll probably pick up the Chaos and World Eaters codex and suppliment when released but outside of the new Defiler I've got everything bar the last Hatchette package for this army, plan A is to build the 2nd Berzerker squad and Jakhals today.

I said that this morning, and of course the plan is now get another box of Jakhals and see if we can Wolf them up a bit. It's a nice kit actually, those CAD CAM courses have paid for themselves. 

Oh yes, the Ultramarines stuff for this arrived on Saturday for that Veterans Squad. 

The Terra Australis Chi visionem faciens 

The last bits for this arrived on Saturday, with the Ultramarines stuff, so once the Björn stuff is finished I'll make a start on this one. As I bought the Necromunda Cutters I need a flyer for Jet Girl. I'm saving and browsing the GW site for plane

Pŵer a Dŵr Genestealer Cult army

Plan A once the tanks are done will be start on the, Tank Girl film inspired, Power and Water Genestealer Cult army. I'd need to get the Codex to see what I can pull in from the Guard Codex.

This is how my brain works in real time, as I've been writing this out I remembered the 20 or so Guard minis I have knocking around from the 72nd Shadow Highlanders and was thinking about them, the Combat Patrol and the spare Dorn tank, so it's Pŵer a Dŵr Army with a side order of Genestealer Cult.

Harlequins and Exodite Army

If the rumours of Exodites getting a kill team are true then yes at some point Grandfather Telvig's Army will possibly get a revisit, but as it is no information means no plans beyond the Warp Spider Pheonix Lord.

So that's the army plans. 

There's a Satanine box of power armour untouched apart from the Satanine stuff, so might think about a Heresy Era project when I'm winding down a bit. 

The Lion's Blades will want the new scale Cattaphrattii and Tartarus suits, when Tartarus get released, that's not a rush. 

I think that covers my current state of play.

The 11th Edition tag is so I can find this in 3 years and see how badly I missed the target 

Finished Ish

The Wulfen Obliteraters are on pause until I get around to building Commissar Greaves RSV, so I can give them some height. 

 I finally got this one finished. It really surprised me how well this was made.

It's still fugly but after building one, I rather like it. 

First Steps For The Commissar

 The head is optional at this point, but the power fist and bolt pistol have to stay.

The rocket bra idea actually worked better than I thought it would. I'm going to have to pack them both in some custom foam when they're done and keep some superglue handy to fix them, or get some tiny magnets. 

Björn The Betrayer And Tank Girl Tank Army

 Work has been hectic this week, once home I'm just a bit burnt out and not hitting the Obliteraters. I mean green stuff is a pain in the arse to work with time wise.

Plan A is to get some height on the base on Saturday, and start painting on Sunday. Hopefully the Hatchette package will be at the post office this weekend which means I can get the Jakhals started and Lord on Juggernaut. The last package arriving in June is Berzerkers and the Mauler Fiend, which bar the predator will see this army finished.

My next project is the Tank Girl inspired Tank Battalion. I have 3 boxes of the armageddon tank battalion and 2 Commissar Greaves Centaurs.

The plan for these 2 is Commissar Tank Girl for one. I have the Eshar Gang box, an Ork rocket rack with 4 rockets so I can do both versions, tank mounted and on foot. 

The second one is planned to be used for heavy weapon platoon so they can shoot out. The other 3 Centaurs are going to be veteran squads, guard, mixed with Orlocks and Esher gangers. 

There's 4 Rogal Dorn tanks, so one is being promoted to HQ, I'm thinking of moving one of the Dorn Tanks to the following Imperial Guard and using the Leman Russ and Malcador tanks, with a 3rd Russ to make a squadron of 3 

So yes, plan A didn't quit work out as the Obliteraters don't yet have any height but I finish early in the morning and can make a start on that. 

Although I did get some paint on them tonight, one is totally Wraithbone, one has dawns tone on the flesh and one has me pheston red on the exposed skin, all 3 had the flesh tone contrast painted over it with the wraithbone and dawns tone looking good, the mepsheton I again need to see it in normal lighting, but I don't think I'll use that again. 

Also I made a start on my Astra Militarum counts as Commissar Greaves on foot. 

Need some file work to hollow out the rocket bases where they'll fit to her chest, need the power fist and will have to check what pistol she's packing so I can make sure she's at least armed correctly. 

19/05/25 Obliteraters

 

They'll look great when they're finished, but this is the part I really don't like with green stuff, the fact it takes ages for it to set. 

So tonight I green stuffed the heads to the bodies, adding some fur details over some of the bare skin on the rat Oger bodies.

I'm going to pull some bits out of boxes to find something they can stand on, the cow catcher on the Greaves Centaur is plan A for 2 of them, the 3rd might get a dead body or some other armour plates.

Obliteraters

 

While locked in my brain loop of not being able to start the Guard army, I did at least make a start on the Obliteraters for the regular Chaos side of the army. 

So at work tonight I brought them with me to get the weapons them. Plenty of green stuff used to mount the weapons. 

The Thunder Wolf heads work so much better, and the reason for these guys having bigger heads is you need more of a brain to fire weapons than you do to charge in and smack the opposition with your sword arms. I did forget the glue, so will glue heads tomorrow and once dry, mount on the bodies. The 2 Commissar Greaves Centaurs are due Wednesday / Thursday, so hopefully I can use the spare decoration to stand these guys on to give them some height.
