Tournament Preparation- Steel Legion

[Dazza22]

On Sunday I decided to enter a tournament on this Saturday. This may have been a silly idea as the list I submitted requires a bit of painting. I've decided to show a few pics to keep up the motivation to paint. (I should probably be painting right now instead!) The tournament allows FW goodies so I've thrown in a couple of flyers for giggles.

What I have to paint: The infantry is done except for one plasma gunner who I have been working on today. The thunderbolt needs finishing and the lightning and thunderbolt both need basing. The demolisher has the camo done but most of the details need painting. The aegis defence line also needs painting.

The sad thing is I have about 6000 points of Steel Legion painted and could have comfortably submitted a fully painted 1750 point list. But where's the fun in getting an early night before a tournament... right?

Wish me luck...

I think I just "arrived" ?

I have to say you do like your flyers, Is that a bomber on the left, of the first picture? If so I want more pictures please ;D

Progress!

I managed to finish my plasma gunner and, while I was at it, painted the plasma cannons on my demolisher and gave it some company markings.





@ Major Downer: That is a marauder destroyer just out of picture. I don't have any pics of it just yet but you can see it in the group shots in this thread.

(there have been a few additions to the army since these pics were taken)


I'm planning on putting on a flying stand soon and I'll be sure to put up some pics.

I haven't posted in this topic as I have been painting but I managed to meet my goal, to a reasonable level. I struggled to take pics as the lighting in the hall was bad but here are a couple of my army as it was set up for painting. The colours look slightly off in the pics.

Very N I C E army Sir !
I always loved the Steel Legio, I must admit that the PCS was my very first 40K unit....
in those day´s the mony was a problem, so they have been all those years alone in the cupboard ...

[vulpine]

Love them!!! Can't wait to join the ranks of the Steels myself!!!

Haha Daz do you have time for this considering the monstrosity you are currently creating??

[Dazza22]

There's a bit of threadomancy going on here. This tournament was in 2012, before I got the titan! My Steel Legion ranks have actually grown considerably since this date. I have been working on the titan though. I'll have some pics of the interior soon.

[Rolling Thunder]

Titan?

[Dazza22]

Titan.
