Yeah I’ve heard mixed reports on the model. I haven’t got one but she looks cool to me.
Everything GW are releasing seem to be getting bigger. I found an old mini marine I’d painted years ago the other day it looks laughable now! Primaris have rewritten the scale of things, personally I feel it’s a good thing. Now the Astartes tower over the mortals, as it should be.
Looking forward to seeing her painted up.

Hmm, that's interesting. I figured they would be closer to the current Dark Eldar in size: slightly bulkier due to the power armor and all. If you get a chance to take a side by side shot with a guardsmen I'd be interested to see it. I actually never thought of that, I'll do that this evening. I think I may have a Cadian solder in my bits box but I'll a Vostroyan for sure.

Well worth the frustration imo.
The white is especially well done, really smooth.
I share your pain with the price hike! My Deathriders just got more expensive.
Tough decision on the weapons but i prefer the look of the Volcano cannon (Plus Volcano sounds cooler than Gatlin!)

worth the re-trying attempts; looks amazing.

That looks really good, well worth the effort if you ask me.
I really like the look (and idea) of a titan mounted gatling cannon myself; shooting several hundred bullets that size in under a minute is just.. wonderfull, and silly, but that's one of the reasons it's so wonderful

Thanks gents, I really appriciate it. Saturday evening I was crying in a glass cage of emotion and now I feel so much better. I'm still learning the ways of the Air brushing Force, it just doesn't do what you want it to. I will end up with both as they're easily the coolest out of the four. The Gatling Cannon has more to build and paint. The volcanon cannon looks cooler. This is the current update from my painting session last night, I have some tidy up's inside and on the neck section, then I'm ready for Wednesday's new arrival.

You've arrived at a very intresting time and it's right at the begining of the project. For my Birthday I bought the Volcano Cannon from the ForgeWorld shop and then went round the exhibition, taking many pictures for insperation. I've been 4 times and I love it. This is the latest to the Warbringer project. I will complete the cannon itself before starting on the panel work. The next update will be the completion of the Volacono Cannon and then I have even more Vostroyans to paint, which should take me to around 140 men... just not enough.

Now that's a big gun, sure to inspire some fear in the local heretics and/or traitors.

Woah!!!! That thing is seriously menacing. Looks like it will do some serious damage to anything it targets.
I’ve been to Warhammer World twice and loved the exhibition too!
140! You’re right, can’t have too many. Glad you’ve not forgotten the Vostroyans! (They’re the second coolest Imperial Guard Regiment!)

Its proper beast killing cannon, it's the length of my forearm so I've bought decent Magnets to keep it in place, as I had a fear that they would fall off.
That's 140 standard squad of 10 men (With the HB team), doesn't include the other heavy weapon teams and the special weapons teams. I have a trojan and I need one more Russ, then I'm done. Started in 2006 and I find it hard to move away from them, I hope the sisters will help me move on.

I'm finding it more and more difficult not to make juvenile jokes about "cannons".

Nice! That brass turned out great; did you (the middle) parts of the trim in a lighter shade? Or that natural light?

I've used a lighter shade over the top of the medium colour and I also used a couple of coats of washes to daren some areas down. I really did a lot of research to see what other's had done with the Volacanno Cannon, as I didn't want it to be over 'Blingy' with metallics.

fornicateing hell!!!!!! Now that’s exactly what I needed to see to get back into working on my Krieg after holiday!
Seriously though, that’s an inspirational pic.
Have you tallied up points?

Cheers Gents! I hope you had a good Holiday Jud? It took me all day to unload, looked at it for a couple of hours and to put all back, but it was so worth it. There are new items hidden away in there that I haven't shared with you just yet I need to push extra hard to complete this lot in time for Sisters. Now that I have them all pictured, I'll have to tally up the points, then we can have a mad Appoc's game.

Had a great time thanks! Spent a lot of quality time with the wife and kids!
Definitely worth it! I do the same thing with my meagre force, helps with motivation.
Hopefully not too much longer on the Sisters.

About time I did an update, even if it is little.
I've bought the Gattling Cannon for the Titan project and after a very long wait my dream has finally come true because I've just pre-ordered the DKoK Gorgon to add to my army. A very excited Major Downer!!!

Awesome! I was going to post that the Gorgon was getting rereleased but you beat me to it!
Really happy for you, I know it’s been on your to-get list for ages.
I’m sure it’ll look great in your colour scheme.

Haha, sorry Jud, you'll have to move fast if it's cool and has something to do with the Imperial Guard.
Thanks mate, This thing will take priority over everything else, even eating.
I have some spare heads so I'll convert the Heavy Stubber crew and I'm going to look at magnitizing the Heavy mortor frame and the Heavy weapons frame, so I can switch between the two.
It's been posted so the action should begin soon.

It's arrived and it's glorious! I'm going to make my Girl friend sleep on the sofa so I can sleep next to my Gorgon. She's offically been replaced.
