pretre Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 The size of the army has really pushed at my motivation in the wrong way. There's so few models that I feel like I have all the time in the world. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Another squad done. Trying to get a basic level of paint on everyone and then maybe I'll go back and do some cleanup/basing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Okay, swapped out three boltguns for bolt pistols on the Stalker armed marines. That makes me legal in 8th, I believe. I figure I'll just go with 2005 and give my opponent a command point if they want to play 8th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Third squad down: Two more squads, Libby, Chappy and Land Raider left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 That bird on the antenna of the biker!... good luck keeping it there. I gave up when storing the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those situations where his Tablewar case is just fantastic. Shouldn't be any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just now, WestRider said: This is one of those situations where his Tablewar case is just fantastic. Shouldn't be any problem. Westrider has my point exactly. Right now, the entire force sits on one tablewar tray except the land raider. Let me get a pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Left side is mostly painted. Right is not. But it all fits and the bird and fiddly bits should be safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Another squad 'done' 8 Models and a Land Raider left. I'm almost there. Then it'll be time to work on my SOB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Another squad done. Painted the washers on the bottom of everyone so that's done. One Chaplain, one Libby and my wife is doing the LRC and that is done. Then it's basing, on to the Sisters and, if I have time, coming back to touch up some of the colors that need it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Last two infantry models done. Now on to basing. LRC is still in my wife's hands. So close! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 So, to give everyone a follow-up, I had a perfect record during the team event. 0 wins, 5 losses. Every one of my games was 8th edition, so I walked across the field every time, which was pretty special. In other news, unrelated to the losses. I may be selling the whole shebang (minus LRC) plus bits or trying to find some shelf space to hide it away for a while till I come back to it. Since it was built pretty exclusively for this event, I don't feel a lot of attachment to keeping it. :) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 1 hour ago, doc said: 0-5.... holy poop.... this shocks me... I was not at all surprised. I played every game and I put the hurt on all of my opponents (even if it was a smaller objective I was shooting for rather than the win) but this list was a ofcc level list in 7th, built, painted and designed for casual play. In 8th, most of the gimmicks it was designed around are gone and it is even softer and much worse for 5 more points. I am in no way disparaging my opponents or the event with my performance. I made my choice to play whatever my opponent wanted to play edition wise because I didn't care about win-loss for the team event. I could have requested only 7th games easy enough and probably got them (maybe winning one or two in the process) but I don't really want to play 7th anymore. TLDR: I had a blast and enjoyed every one of my losses and it isn't a thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm glad I did not invest the time in the finishing off my DW then... sounds disappointing in 8e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not the type of list that I brought. It was like I looked forward in time and purposefully created the worst possible list in 8th ed before I even knew there was going to be an 8th ed. :) Deathwatch in 8th do mech and flyers reaaaal well and if you don't go crazy on different wargear for every dude like I do, you can get an efficient and effective force. I think MikhailLenin and CaptainA are both making 8th ed DW forces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Also, I really like the models and the time I put into all of the dudes, I just don't know that I am going to use them anytime soon. Hence me noodling about selling them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
