Duty and Honor! An IG Project Log

[Gen.Steiner]

Good to hear from everybody! I'll use the salamander as both a chimera or salamander depending on the game. I believe imperial armor allows for autocannon chimeras but the current codex does not. Most of my games are friendlies so it'll be ok.

Yeh, I wouldn't begrudge you using an Autocannon in a friendly anyway! I believe the cost of an upgrade to Autocannon is the same as a vox in a Guard Squad.

@Gen Steiner: I like the expansion, especially a rough rider command. Not so sure about the rhino but the sniper teams are cool too, just with a lower BS. Thanks for the link!

No problems! I keep updating it so keep popping back.

[Colonel Gordon]

Impressive work again. Very, very good !!

[Light of the Emperor]

Work is slowly progressing. Picked up a Trojan on ebay and am working on the interior:


Why a Trojan? So I finally have something to pull this:


Once the Trojan is built, I'll be roughcoating it along with the Deathstrike and Salamander. Then its on to airbrushing where 4 sentinels will join them!

Sweet, you never run out of ideas and new stuff to add ^^
Might be a dumb question but how many point would that army be if you fielded everything?

[Light of the Emperor]

Hi SotE: All in all, I believe I'm somewhere in the 5,000 - 6,000 points range. I've had a few mega battles with them (not Apoc) and its a lot of fun seeing the entire army on the board.

The interior of the Trojan has been fully painted so I've glued the rest of the chassis together and blocked off the opening. I have a few more bitz to add and some final gaps to greenstuff before it gets a roughcoat and primer. The crane is magnetic so I can swap it for a radar assembly in case I want something different. Can't wait to get these guys painted up.

[Colonel Jacka]

LofE,

Good to see your Forge World is back in action again.

[Animerik]

I have to second the previous poster! Lovely that this log is back. The trojan looks great so far, keep it up

[dowzy]

hi all i was just wounding what people thing of this it not the best it my first mod i painting since i was 9 lol so be nice hahaha

[Jack's Painting]

I would suggest you get your own blog/ log. This is thread jacking and quite similar to interrupting a conversation with no thought to what the original people were saying. Re-post and I am sure that you will get more feedback.

LotE, looking great! Hope all is well!

With a nod to the Sgt in Dawn of War: "Rally Squad!"

I've been up to plenty of things but unfortunately none of these involved my beloved Vostroyans. With a month to go before I ship off to England for graduate school, I wanted to get my model count down to 0 (as if that'll ever happen)! I have picked up a brush and am nearing completion on two more sentinels and the first part of the command squad that will be riding in the Salamander:




And here's what's been keeping me busy. I am really enjoying 8th edition and the majority of my games are now fantasy or LotR. I, for one, cannot stand 6th edition 40K. Not a fan of allies in the sense that people can create some nasty and unfluffy combos. Also don't like hull points, random terrain, bring your own fortifications...I pretty much skipped 4th ed and it was 5th that brought me back in. But 6th? I think my guys will be hunkering in their barracks. :P
Nordland Empire! For the Emperor! (it works in the land of Sigmar too)

[Rogerio]

Wooo hooo! Glad this log is back on track mate. You inspired my Vossie army and i am always on the look out for your updates.

Your empire army is a beaut as well.

[Colonel Jacka]

LofE,

No mate! No hunkering in the Barracks, 6th is fine. Allies are no big deal just another bunch of xenos scum for the guns of the IG to mow down.

[Thornz]

Bump for more love

[Light of the Emperor]

Thanks guys.
Col Jacka, there's not much gaming to be done anyways as I'm heading to Sheffield, England until June. The poor Vossies are getting packed up but not before a final army shot with all the new goodies!

Finished 2 lascannon sentinels and some of the salamander command squad:


How many boxes does it take for a game room? Still going...and this is just my books!


Sad state. FYI, the cityfight table is currently up for grabs on ebay (provided you pick it up too)!

[Light of the Emperor]

Command squad is done. Onto the tanks, especially the Salamander. 3 weeks to go before I move to Europe.






Sentinels are all done!

[boogle]

Because i love your stuff, i want to ask you: where in the UK are you moving to, and are you going to game with this army?

[Light of the Emperor]

I will be in Sheffield for my masters. Alas, no army at the moment as I have enough things to bring over

Tanks done!!!

First up is the Trojan with a painted interior cargo hold:



Salamander command tank. My command squad would always be riding in a chimera so they never really saw the table. I wanted to have a visual impact because the Vostroyan command models are some of the best out there (especially the commander). Graf General Mikhail A. Vladkov is now riding in style. I plan to use it as a "counts as" chimera but perhaps as a salamander too in friendly games.


And all my transport/ support tanks together:


With the completion of the tanks, I still have a squad of ogryn and a deathstrike.
Those won't be done anytime soon so you know what that means: ARMY SHOT!!!
Stay tuned!

[Servant of the Emperor]

Nice! All I can say.

The salamander looks great!

[Colonel Jacka]

Great idea LoE!

[Light of the Emperor]

Here we go...for Vostroya and the Emperor.
If anyone wants better shots of a particular unit, let me know!
Edit: See page 131 for more!

The 11th Vostroyan Imperial Guard Regiment




All-Star command squad with Yarrick, Kyrniov, Nork and Macharius himself! And, of course, Graf-General Mikhail Augustus Vladkov.
