Call to arms- 2 weeks in


I mentioned in my last blog post that I was intending to participate in this years call to arms, well I've gone and done it! The extent of my pledge can be seen here:

Call to arms 2024 - Drakheart

 

Whether I have bitten off more than I can chew remains to be seen, but after just over 2 weeks work, I think I'm making reasonable progress, just not sure if I'll be able to keep it up.  

 

Anyway here's what I've managed to achieve so far:

I started with the vehicles as I find these quite quick to complete, for the points they give-

The store anniversary exclusive Ethereal, quite like this sculpt and happy with how it turned, although in typical fashion taking the photos I noticed a detail I missed.

Enforcer Commander - with 3d printed sheild in translucent resin and given a blue wash , not sure the OSL glow in the centre quite works, but happy overall.

A squad of sunforge crisis suits , giventhe same shield treatment, although in hindsight I should of used the smaller sheilds on these and the larger on the commander.

 

The urban camo effect i'm aiming for on these was a lot easier on the larger surfaces of the devilfish and takes a bit of time, but I will persist as the rest of my army is currently painted in this fashion.  So 32 points worth done out of a total of 118 so far, if I can keep up this pace I should be ok to hit the 15th Sept deadline. I have already started on the next batch, the cadre fireblade and Breacher squad, which I managed to get the base colours on yesterday afternoon.

Great work here , love the camo and the contrasting green & orange , really makes it pop ! . Your work is fast and clean , keep it up if you can !! :thumbsup:
 

one comment though about the breachers at the bottom, the guy with the helmet on the ground shouldn’t have a “antenna” on his helm as he’s already wearing it … sorry for nit picking  :sweat:

 

cheers , Mithril

Looking forward to yet more camo T'au! These are lovely. I usually don't love the shields, but the colours really work with the greys here! Great stuff.

Thanks for the kind comments. Mithril, I realised about your antenna comment, but the helmet just didn't look right without it.
