Leardinal Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hey all, I finally sat myself down and got to work repairing my Librarian. Librarian Vos, Attached to the Knights of the Abyss' 4th Company With Captain Tiberius and his Honor Guard After playing a game with his previous color scheme, I found that he blended in too well, (I often had trouble picking him out of his squad quickly,) so I decided to go with the traditional blue. He certainly stands out now. C&C Welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2580587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Looks good, I think the blue is better to be honest, but it might look a bit better with a darker shade? Maybe just a Badab Black wash would fix it.

I don't know, it might just be the light but he defiantly looks purple to me know. I have no idea why the Picture came out so blue.

Captain Mick Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The flesh and Armour could use a wash i think (try the asurmen blue or how is it called on the armour) rest it looks good, well done :P .

Leardinal Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hey all, I got a couple more scouts done, along with the start of a couple of objective markers and the squad banner bearers. Scouts This is my first time using decals, tell me how it came out. This is just to show the camo cloaks Objectives Squad Banner Bearers These don't do anything rule-wise, but I like the idea and they will all be painted up to reflect the campaign history of the squad C&C Welcome Edit: On a side note, does anyone have any idea why someone would leave a tied off grocery bag full of packing peanuts in front of someone's door?

Leardinal Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hey all, Well, I haven't posted in a while and, as much as I want to, I can't claim it on a sudden urge to do nothing but paint, because in truth I hadn't picked up a brush in several weeks. To get myself going again, I vowed to paint an Assault Squad, A Dreadnought, and a Rhino for the Librarium Painting Challenge, I have yet to decide weather or not to regret it. The Assault Squad All undercoated, some have more work then others The Dreadnought Undercoated, ready to go... The Rhino Looks like any other Rhino for now, but I have plans for it... :) That's it for now, C&C Welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2618017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leardinal Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies  @Dark Apostle Thirst:Yeah, I put up these pictures mostly for the LPC vow, though partly to also prove I hadn't given up.  @Darius Macab:The Dread is quickly becoming one of my favorites. He was fun to build and so far has been fun to paint. I have him base painted now, but the paint scheme tends to not photograph well so he will wait for more progress before more pictures.  I have been having problems removing the mold line on the plasma coils on the Dreadnought's cannon. I tried filing it off, but I seemed to do more damage to the coils then the mold line. I was hoping the paint wold help cover it, but that is just not the case. Does anyone know of a method for getting rid of it?

GooseDaMoose Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I never file my mold lines, always scrape. If you scrape a hobby knife along the mold line it'll come right off without need much pressure or destroying the details under it. Â Models look good, as Thirst said, I look forward to seeing them painted! ^_^ Â Oh and did you ever find out why someone left the bag of packing peanuts outside your door?

Leardinal Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hello all, @GooseDaMoose:Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, while the hobby knife worked better then the file, it seems the mold line will only be removed if I scrape it out of each valley between each coil. And no, I never figured out why that bag was there. My brother got excited about it, but after he realized nothing was in it we tossed it. @Dwarfkernow: Thanks for the encouragement. Good luck with your vow as well. Well, I did some work on the Dreadnought Venerable Brother Altus Legs Plasma Cannon Arm I magnetized him to the base, but part of it broke off and I need to fix it. I also still have to base him and add burns to the ends of his weapons. Other then that, he is pretty much done.

Leardinal Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hello all, @Darius Macab: Yeah, I think you are right. Pics incoming after a coat of black wash. So, I have a squad of Terminators coming along, along with some reworked Sergeants. These guys were, like the scouts, a left over project that I have decided to start working on again I decided to attempt a "Counts-As" for Logan Grimnar, and here is the end result. Needs a touch up here and there, but mostly done My "Counts-As" rune priest in TDA 2 Wolf Guard in TDA with Power Swords and Combi Meltas Wolf Guard in TDA armed with a Thunder Hammer, a Storm Shield, and a Cyclone Missile Launcher I was looking at my Assault Squad waiting for me to paint it for the LPC, and I started to think about the Sergeant. The wings look great for a Jump Pack equipped squad, but looked out of place since they where on foot. I looked around and remembered I had most of the Masters of the Chapter pack laying around gathering dust, and I felt the conversion itch in the back of my mind. Assault Sergeant saluting his foe Tactical Sergeant preparing to strike a target he weakened with his Combi Melta Devastator Sergeant commanding his squad to fire Devastator Sergeant setting himself for a counter attack while discreetly pulling his Bolt Pistol C&C Welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2637149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leardinal Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hello all, I started running a Deathwatch campaign with my friends on the days that I usually would be painting, which is why I haven't posted an update. Since their is only a couple weeks left before the end of the LPC, I decided to start working. My brother is into photography, and it only recently donned on me to have him take the pictures, so they should be much higher quality now. First up, the Dreadnought Washed him and highlighted him since last update 2 of the 10 Assault Marines for my LPC Vow Finally, I decided to start working on a project that will take even more attention of my LPC vow. The idea is to modify the standard Power Armored Chest Plate to make it more resemble Plate Armor. Here is my first attempt at this This is the Artwork that inspired my attempt C&C Welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2689582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 looking good mate, one question though, are you planning on keeping the blood angels iconography on some of your models? (e.g. drop of blood on sergeants sword) that looks kinda odd in my humble opinion, or are your guys a successor chapter to the blood angels?

Leardinal Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 @Wicced: Thanks for the Reply. Yeah, they are a BA Successor Chapter. I wish I had gone with something more...Knightly, but I got a lot of BA stuff and most of my models are built.

Leardinal Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hello all, @Dark Apostle Thirst: Thanks for the support, I never abandon a project completely, just get distracted for long periods of time :) If you haven't noticed, I can never be happy when something is done. Ideas keep popping into my head about how I can change this or that. Today's victim is the Librarian. I kept looking for the head I originally wanted for him, and while looking my mind wandered. When I finally did find it, I had another pose for the Librarian worked out in my head. Instead of ripping him apart right after having the pose worked out in my mind, I decided to make a "blue-tac," (Mine is actually grey,) mock up. Tell me which pose you think looks better, I still would have to add a psychic hood, cables, and a servo skull to the new pose The new pose looks a bit odd because that much putty is hard to keep in one place. I mostly use him in a defensive role, and thought the extended arm reflected that more. Plus, I think the staff adds more to the "I am a Psychic!" look. I also finished painting another Assault Marine for the LPC, time to really get going on that I guess...

Brax Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I like the second pose better. (arm extended and head positioned looking toward his target.) however I do not like the staff and think the sword looks better in the first pose Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2701594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leardinal Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 In my defense, I blame my epic ability to procrastinate. Plus, I just finished moving from South Carolina to Kentucky, so I haven't much time for Warhammer until the last few days. In those last few days, I picked up 2 boxes of Grey Knight Terminators. They just looked too cool not to start a new army around them. Now I am wishing that I had chosen a different scheme for my DIY Chapter, and maybe a different name, but ah well. @Brax: I think I will move the sword to the new model, as soon as I pull him out of whatever box he got packed into. Anyway, a pic of the WIP Terminators I know it is bad quality, (It is that white door, my phone focused on something dark and made it brighter,) but it didn't seem so bad until just now. They have just been under coated and are still drying, but when they are dry I will get a better pic, maybe several so I don't try to get them all in one shot. I decided to go with a different basing theme, since when I imagine Grey Knights I don't see them running to fight Chaos in lush grass fields, I picked up some cork and plan to do their bases in a ruined street thing, but with gratuitous amounts of static grass pushing up through the ruined streets. I decided these models would be: A Grand Master, (Top Right, hard to tell but he is pointing,) Who will get the Cape from my Logan Counts-as when he is dry. A Librarian, (dead center, who looks like he is either casting a spell or trying to grab a snack,) to give him the Libby look, I gave him the chest with a raised color to look like a larger psychic hood, made him bare headed, tryed to make him look like he is casting, and plan on painting the tabard, (or whatever it is called,) either blue or yellow. And a Paladin Squad, (I just think the ornaments to pick them out a Paladins look silly,). Nothing really special at this stage, because I like the poses of the models enough to not need any conversions...Yet. That is it for now, C&C Welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2737681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leardinal Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Sanguinary Novitiate Where did you get this grail? I sort of just slapped it together out of bits from a WFB Warriors of Chaos Plastic Kit. I goofed up the Skull head when trying to make a Chaplain in Terminator Armor, so I decided to use it here. I cut off the lower Jaw, glued the top part onto the hand, cut off the end end of the horn that comes with the kit and glued it on top for the lip, then cut the bottom end off a banner pole and glued to the underside of the hand. Hope it helps Edit:to make my explanation clearer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213813-knights-of-the-abyss-wip/page/3/#findComment-2737749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
