My First Ever Army - A Witch Hunter Project Log

[Inquisitor Barbarossa]

Hi. I´ve been lurking abour theese pages for quite some time now but has never actually started an army before (yet alone painted a figure). But has now come to my scenses and are starting a small Witch Hunter Army! Yey .
This Project Log will show my small efforts and first wery stumbling steps to becoming a half decent painter! (or even a bloody good one )

The Army will mostley be based around the figures i realy like and not so much (at least in the begining anyway) based on actual gaming.

Let me remind you that these are the FIRST models i have ever tried painting. So i would like to not get comments like "You suck dude" and "my eyes my eyes" and insteed some constructive help!

The background of the army is based on a small Monestry and it's sisters!

I´ve just orded the first models but what it´ll be will just have to be a suprise

[bloodlust]

You've come to the right forum, as far as learning how to paint is concerned. There are some really amazing artists here. Good luck.

If you need help painting Sisters. Here's the website of a Golden Daemon winner. http://www.minivault.com/index.html

He has amazing pictures of his work and describes the steps involved. I've heard that he's pretty friendly and will answer most e-mails sent to him. Just in case...

Good luck with the army. There's nothing like the first time.

Post lots of pics! Good luck!

[god octo]

yay, another WH blogy thing!!!!

[Bluesabre]

Yup, the more pics that people see, the more help they can provide you.
Good luck in your endevour, I'm sure it will turn out well.
The main thing is for you to be happy with yourself at what you achieve.

Small Update:

The army shall be part of the Order of the sacred Rose with some minor changes to the colour scheme!

And i have decided to use Micro arts studios Tech Bases

I would not advise that on an essentially all-metal army, especcially your first.

The models have a tab that slots into the GW bases, the tech bases dont have this, plus they are not flat, and you have to model the figure round the base, not the base round the figuer (ex. Repositioning the metal figure to work with the pipes etc. on those bases) I would not reccoment them for a first try, unless you know how to use greenstuff well.

just my 0.02

[no-use4a-name]

Or, clip off the metal tab and pin the model to the base.

If you are going to use the tech bases I suggest that you paint the bases first and then pin the painted model to the base.

A friend of mine has promised to help me!

Its alverywell pinning, but Its the repositioning required to use thouse bases and make them look even half decent.

You need a sisters hero to get immolators, and Arbites dont exist, theyr stormtroopers I think.

[god octo]

nope that list is perectly leagal- though you may want to swap the carapace armour on your inq for something else, they already have a +4 save. Also, extra armour instead of a dozer blaade may be better.

[ThousandPlateaus]

...and Arbites dont exist, theyr stormtroopers I think.

Just very quickly, that's nonsense.
Anyway - looking forward to seeing some photos as this progresses.

[Unique1]

I meant in the codex AFAIK.

[t-tauri]

I meant in the codex AFAIK.

Arbites are an optional replacement for stormtroopers in the Designer's note under the IST entry.

[god octo]

and to get an immy, you just need sisters present.
