TOZ - Action shots!

The TOZ was a great event, and I had 5 really great games.
Here are a few pictures of the 4th Company fights and opponents.

First game deployment against Sebvoinot and Krissa from the godzilla team:

Toeing the line!

The relic

Kansen's side

Advance!

 Sadly we drew this game due to really bad moves on our part, going from a 5-0 score at the beginning of turn 5, to a 2-2 score at the end.


Game 3 against Vink SW and Valdor Eldars with hlegentil, with a killpoint objective, our opponents refused flanked us and the Ultramarines carried the brunt of the fight.

End of turn 2, most of our heavy weapons are gone,  it's getting desperate.

Outnumbered and outclassed a desperate charge to win some time

Due to some poor rolling on my opponent side, the 3 ultramarines lasted 4 turns of combat before going down, taking 4 ennemies with them.

We finally lost the game on turn 4 by one point as the SW managed to kill of the last specter and the eldar took linebreaker.

The Throne of Zhobby is over! 160 players in teams of 4 competed this week-end in Coubron for fame and glory. The tournament was a serie of 5 games in a 2vs2 setup, each player bringing 1000 pts to the table.

By luck and with a small contribution to the painting juge swiss account, my team and I got to 5th place!
Two of us even placed into the top 16 best painted armies.

Here is what I took:

 Librarian, 

5 terminators with cyclone missile launcher,
2 squads of 10 marines in rhino and razorback,
Nemo the Mortis Contemptor

Pictures of my team mates armies:

I'm sorry but I forgot to take pictures of Blair-o's Necron force.

And now some eye candy : the 2 best painted armies at the tournament:

Objectif TOZ : Contemptor WIP 3

The Relic Contemptor is almost finished, just a few markings left and light weathering.

Left todo:
 - add Ultramarine symbols and scribble lines on the armour.
 - light weathering with sponge and pigments

Time to reload!

Objectif TOZ : armor half finished

Work is progressing slowly on the blue armor, lower part is now finished.

Time to reload!

Objectif TOZ - Assault canons completed

After one evening of work, both assault canons are finished, complete with heat stains.

Most metals are also finished. 

I'm starting to try colors on the main body.

This dreadnought is from the 4th Ultramarine Company, thus the green. However I'm still not sold on the green eagle, a white one might be better. We'll see.

Time to reload!

Objectif TOZ - A Relic Contemptor before 09/03/13

After 4 months without painting, I'm getting back in the saddle with a Forge World Relic Contemptor with double kheres assault canon and cyclone missile launcher.One always needs more Dakka! I need to paint this bad boy before 09/03/13 for the Throne of Zhobby, a team tournament.

I airbrushed the blue back in July and then actually left it untouched for months. The plan is to get him to the level of my ironclad dreadnought:

Time to reload my brush,
