Flatlander

no worries man, thanks for looking

oh you are right I agree they aren't a bad deal compared to buying gaunt boxes I just felt that the cost +shipping was just more than I wanted to invest in a unit I only wanted to try out and fill in leftover points with. just thought I would exhaust any other options by looking for used or unwanted plastics models first. 

do you mean a single base or a minimum unit of 3?, yeah those FW swarms look really nice but might be too pricey for what I'm wanting to use them for. 

So apparently rippers are much more difficult to come by in the new kits with the only place to find hem being in the termagant box? and i don't feel like buying 5 boxes ofgaunts to field some throw away fodder.  anyways I wanted some to fill out some points and to act as objective grabbers and im hoping someone around here has a bunch they might be willing to sell, based not based, painted or not. 

don't worry im takin' care of your boys just got the vehicle and infantry test models almost done

I have several armies for 40k but haven't really played in a while so I feel like I'm out of the loop. I also play Infinity and some Bolt Action. If you are interested in playing Armada sometime let me know, even if you have no interest in buying or collecting it yourself I've got more than enough to play multiple lists for both sides. 

haha oh yeah that is far :)

Awesome just sent you a PM

Well, if there's a bright center to Portland, Im in the suburb that it's farthest from.

Just picked up Star Wars Armada, and I'm super excited to start playing but because of life schedule its difficult for me to game on weekends on a regular basis and because of how much of a pain I-5 traffic has become during weeknights almost impossible to make it to one of the downtown or east side game stores in any reasonable amount of time after work. surely I can't be the only person wanting to play this game located in the Outer Rim?

I think the white and blue on the monk works well. what are you planning on doing for bases? 

the urban camo is pretty simple, I've used citadel paints on this model.

For the mechanical parts I've used Eshin grey with a back wash then highlighted. the armor base is dawnstone grey with he next step up in camo being administratum grey. the lightest grey is a 50/50 mix of administratum and white. typically an urban camo will have a black pattern in there as well but I felt it would detract too much from the silhouette of the model particularly with he black panel lines on the armor. 

I got both forms of my Su Jian Assembled and painted this weekend. I was surprised at how easy this model went together despite the number of really tiny fiddly parts. 

can't wait to see what you come up with.

thanks guys, I haven't read the fluff book, do you think its worth buying? how detailed does it go into the universe and factions?

anyways my bases arrived last night and I got so excited I started painting them before I took a photo. These are the Tau Ceti set from Secret Weapon miniatures. really crisp casts with only a tiny bit of flash around the edges that cleaned up pretty easily.

here is a group shot of the finished models on they new bases also shot of the crane rank agent I've been working on. 

Im not going to lie, I've gotten complacent with my techniques painting space marines for the last few years and with the more realistic 28mm scale and high level of fine detail Infinity miniatures have, its been a challenge to paint in comparison but have also been a lot of fun. so its time to break out my tiny detail brushes and water down my paint. I started off with the ISS starter box and added a few extra boxes and blisters fill out my lists

first up are the backbone of my ISS force, the Celestial Guard.

I've decided to go with a non standard paint scheme with these guys. Grey urban camo pants and white armor with yellow markings. not sure if i like how the hackers hacking device turned out. i may have to revisit that and I still have a few more of these guys with combi rifles and a spitfire to paint soon. 

Kuang Shi

who doesn't love these plucky suicide bombers with giant guns. I've only played a grand total of one game so I haven't had a chance to use these guys yet but they look like a lot of fun. 

Wu Ming

I've only got one that came with he starter box but he was fun to paint and they have some interesting weapon options ill have to pick up some more of these guys later.

Hsien Warrior

This guy is a badass and he'll usually either be my lieutenant or my primary lieutenant decoy so he gets to paint his armor black. He's like the Darth Vader to the rest of my white storm troopers.

Pheasant Rank Imperial Agent

not really one of my favorite models as I feel like he has an awkward pose and I also didn't notice until I started painting that his face was a little miscast from the fact that the sprue attachment was directly in the center of his face causing him to lose some of that detail but with a bit of filiing and paint I was able to sort of refashion it into a silver visor.

Now for some support elements to the ISS. the Sophotect

on loan from Aleph, she seems to be a pretty important support model for ISS forces. being both an engineer and doctor and one of the few options for either she will probably show up in quite a few of my larger lists. I've still got to paint her hover ring/ forge and a yudbot that goes along with her.

Yaokong Husong guardian remote

hi tech and shiny.

Still on the assembly table are the remaining Kuang Shi and Celestial Guard, a Crane Rank Agent, another Yaokong and a Su Jian. 

how do people feel about creating a Facebook group for local players(if there isn't one already)? I've joined groups in the past for other games and it always made finding an opponent pretty easy.

We do have something going on tonight - At 7 is the Infinity league. It's the last night of an escalation league so a few people will be getting in their fifth games for that, but there will be pick up games to be had, especially for new folks. Come by! What's your name?

Great! ill definetly stop by then. At the very least being able to watch a few games will be helpful if you guys don't mind me hanging around. ill bring my minis if anyone has time for a low level game afterwards. My name's David. 

Would anyone be up for a game tonight? I'm planning on heading over to Red Castle after work to see if they have anything going on tonight.

ISS models arrived in the mail yesterday. I have to admit I was surprised by the complexity of the metal models immediately after opening the box but everything fit together so well and the models are extremely well cast. Although I'm going to have to go buy a few more smaller brushes to be able to paint the fine details. Didn't really realize how chunky and flat Space marine armor is in comparison.

Yu Jing Secret Service it is. The plan is to learn the game with just the starter box for the next few months but I wanted to build a 300pt list to sort of build towards and it'll give me a bunch of stuff to paint in the meantime. I've been doing a lot of reading the last few days and this is my first attempt at 300pts. any thoughts?
