Call of the Imperium Mk IV


Recommended Posts

June Update 2, Update 4 overall

 

Hey everyone, there is some great progress being made on those vows- its all the more motivation for me to get mine done asap! Still no camera, I'm probably going to have to buy a new one now since I've already unpacked everything and still couldn't find it; here's what I've got so far since my last update last week!

 

Mephiston: DONE

Terminators: DONE

10 Assault Marines: 5 DONE, 5 Base coated

Landraider Redeemer: 50% finished, need to finish blood red layer on one side of the hull and detailing

 

I really hope to get the full 10 man assault squad finished by Saturday at the latest, and the landraider hopefully sometime next week; I will certainly post pictures once I either a)find my tricky camera or b ) buy another one soon

 

Cheers,

Nick

Tahaal's Blood Angels
June, Update #2


Mephiston is basically finished. I have to paint him a backpack, but that's it. So, some WiP pictures before the finished product:

This is what he was at before the weekend:

This is with the gold and silver done:

And finally, presenting the Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels, Mephiston!

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r313/tahaal/WiP/Mephiston/mms_picture-18.jpg

With that done, I just have the Assault Squad and Terminator Squad to finish to fulfill my oath. I've magnetized the terminators' arms. The idea is, I regret buying a Terminator squad instead of an Assault Terminator squad, so to make up for that, I'll magnetize them now and I can order the Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers/Storm Shields from a bitz site later.

The full squad:

Brothers (and Sisters),

Unfortunately, real-life has decided to make completing my vow impossible. With work wiping me out every night and soccer (football for my non-USA brethren) games/practices to take my kids to, I'm finding NO time to work on my vow to my satisfaction. So it is with a heavy heart full of shame that I leave my vow unfinished... I hope that once soccer is over (it ends 4 days before the call ends), I can get back into painting my Wolves up.

 

:(

Haha! I has pics and a good update! ;)

 

June Update #2

 

The drop-pod is complete :D Sadly the doors are slightly wonky to the framework and as such don't shut flat. Ah well. More on my Gallery thread.

June Update 3?

 

Got the main body of my VenDread done, and used some arms from my other Dreads for a test shot:

I need to finish up all of his other amrs now. Plasmacannon is waiting for some freehand to be done, the rest are at second layering stage for the blue.

:P June Update II :)

 

Again not masses of progress but my 'Lord of the Forge' as I'm calling him is complete:

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/Space%20Wolves%20Army/ForgeLord1.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/Space%20Wolves%20Army/ForgeLord2.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/Space%20Wolves%20Army/ForgeLord3.jpghttp://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p456/pigofsparta/Space%20Wolves%20Army/ForgeLord4.jpg

 

Keen eyed brothers may spot that he bears no markings on his shoulder pads. This is for two reasons, the first is that he bears his allegiance to the Great Wolf on his shoulders for all to see. The second less fluffy reason is that I haven't decided on a wolf icon for my army yet, but as soon as I do he'll be getting the appropriate treatment.

 

 

 

Once I get the parts I need I'll get on with finishing up the Land Speeder build and then get cracking on the painting too :)

@ Shiny Rhino: loving the look on that venerable dread mate

No pictures but I am making progress on finishing up my Deathwing squad now that school is done and I've finished entering all my administrative stuff.

Should have them done and pictures posted tomorrow.

JamesI's Angels Vermillion
July Update 1

So, now its July and the final month of the Call. Down to just the unit I added when I finished the others, my Vindicator.

So here are some images of the Vindicator with some progress from last time (though not a lot due to extreme busyness at work and my daughter's birthday).

The stormbolter broke off, I need to fix that. And some painting, mostly details and finish the siege shield.

At least I can now use my nice new camera which made getting pictures easier.

June Update 2, Overall Update 5

 

Another no-picture update. As in my last post, I have a lot going on in my personal life, and at work... but I am still hanging in there by the skin of my teeth... not ready to submit to the ruiness powers.

 

I managed to complete base coating my Company Master, and started to highlight him. I also got a chance to work on his base. The terminator squad stands at attention, untouched through June. Wow, not even one miniature painted in June...

July Update One, Sixth Overall

 

Ancient Brother Hylas is now complete, and properly photographed. I managed to break out the light rig for a bit during a very brief respite from the heat! (Yes, that is a cat hair laying across the top of the model. Damn critters!)

I've now moved on to my Ironclad, Argus. His legs, shinpads, and sarcophagus all have paint on them now, but I've left his arms for last, since I'm waiting on a bitz order for another set of underslung weapons. I needed a spare meltagun for the chainfist. I see no reason to ever use the heavy flamer bitz on an Ironclad. It's a vehicle smasher, not a horde killer. If the heavy flamer upgrades were FREE, maybe, but not when I have to pay to replace a meltagun with one!

I tried to magnetize the underslung weapons, butit was just too damned fiddly for my tastes. Also, the seismic hammer does not have enough room to be magnetized properly. The mount for the underslung weapon is a little block, unlike the rest of the arms where it's placed right up against the arm.

 

@Pig of Sparta: thanks for the compliments on my work! I just now saw them all. Means a lot coming from a painter of your skill! Loving that Iron Priest, as well. Very smooth.
