++Librarium Painting Challenge 2011++


Recommended Posts

It's a transfer from the standard vehicle decal sheet that comes with Rhinos etc. (or at least it used to).

 

wow really, thats a new one to me.. it must be "old school cool" :)

 

these are really good though, its an in joke with my friends that you cant mess up black, but youve done a great job with the highlights

SECOND WIP UPDATE:

 

"I, Shadowguard of the Dark Angels Forum, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least Five squads of Deathwing terminators led by a Master of Deathwing in TDA as part of a 1500 point DW army on or before the 31st of March, 2011. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done."

 

PROGRESS NOTES:

Phase 1: completely model the five squads - COMPLETED

Phase 2: Add icons and additional paraphernelia to the models; Commence work on the two characters. - COMPLETED

Phase 3: Paint the squads

Phase 4: paint the characters

 

CONCEPTS: I tried to maintain three major concepts for this project.

 

1. Each terminator would have a uniquely pose as well as be individualized by way of icons and equipment.

2. Every terminator would sport atleast one feather sometimes more in memory of those who died in the plains world. I especially wanted the feathers to be gigantic rather than resemble small totems carried by the spacewolves.

3. The storm shields would also all be different from one another and purposefully be bulked up with thick greenstuff casts.

 

IMPORTANT: I have not worked on any models for nearly 6 years and have never ever before tried my hand at green stuff. So, take the following images with a pinch of salt! ^_^

Master of Deathwing Belial: This is an entirely new model built from the basics. I had initially planned to use the legs and right arm of Logan Grimnar to provide Belial with a menacing and charging concept. As I realised the size descrepancy between the new plastics and the od metal miniatures. As a result this version of Belial was born.

 

I managed to sculpt for the very first time an entire robe along with a large amount of feathers, purity seals, messages etc. I think I have managed to capture the assaulting terminators menacing body language.

 

 

Phase II complete...Yeah!!! .... and I guess counts as my second WIP! Realistically I have two weekends left to paint so here's hoping. But even if i don't make it here's thanks to Sigi Himself and B+C for giving me the push to firstly re-start the modelling part of the hobby after 6 years and also getting me finally to start using green stuff for the first time! :D

Scroll down to see PHASE TWO

 

I, pueriexdeus of the Dark Angels, vow on the honor of my Chapter to paint and present a kitbashed Belial and a Deathwing Command Squad with one Standard Bearer , one Apothicary, two TLC's, two TH/SS, and one CML in the mix. On or before the 31st of March, 2011. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, with pictures, in that time.

 

I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done. :P

WIP #1. From Left to right Sqd Ldr, Standard Bearer, Apothecary, CML, Last guy in the line.

You'll notice they are all blue tacked right now as proof of concept. I am still waffling on whether or not to put the TLC's on the Standard Bearer, Apothecary. I would make mounting the Standard & Narthicuthingy easier.

SL, SB. The right shoulder pads (DIY Chapter Icon) I commissioned from Maxmini, they came out really nice. I highly recommend their services.

SB, Apoth. The Heads, Hammers, and Shields all came from Maxmini's conversion parts stock.

I'll be done in time.

Time for my second update.

 

Elias (librarian) is complete (I've since cleaned up the base rim):

Also, I have made some progress with the Vindicator:

February was a bad month for hobbying, so I'm behind by a good bit. In the next 12 days, I will have to finish the Vindicator, start and finish 5 Veterans, and finish Damion (Terminator Chaplain). So in short, Ruh Roh!

 

@The Shadows Guard: That is incredible modelling, brother! Very nice green stuff work, especially for a first effort. That puts many efforts by experienced modellers to shame. I'm excited to see the finished terminators. :)

my second update.

I think I can start wearing the banner of shame right now as i have this gut feeling, that I won't get my vow done.

anyways.

enjoy.

The rear mascot is not yet done, so do not be too harsh on your judgment.
