Razblood's randomness, change on the horizon.

5th and final ETL vow pics

So thats that, next will be something different...

[Razblood]

Had a few Primaris going spare, so I decided to try a new version of an old scheme.

Let me know what you think :)

[Razblood]

He walked the hallowed halls, sounds of past glories echoing from shadowed corners.....He located the cogitator unit, coated in a thick layer of dust, and pressed the activation rune....A cloud of smoke poured from the unit as the dust was burned from its power manifold and a sliding bar of unitelligable words slid down the screen in a scrolling bar.....He struck the side of the unit, steadying the bar and showing the title of Another DIY Chapter Blog.....He wondered aloud "Now where was I?".....

[Razblood]

"After what seemed to be an eternity he finally remembered where he'd left off, his fingers danced across the keys as he muttered "Time for something new"...

Hello all, I have returned from a long arduous quest in order to obtain the mythical "pint of milk" and actually have something to show for it :lol:

So without further ado, a new brother for my Crimson Fists....

Also, to follow up from the "Test scheme ahoy" post in the Hall of Honour...

Not sure what Dynasty until I get the codex and I still need to finish their bases, but thoughts welcomed anyway

[Brother Cambrius]

Ahhh he returns! Welcome back, Razblood! Oh, we ran out of milk whilst you were on your last quest. I've had to make the teas and coffees for the Moderati as a newbie and I used the last of the supply. :P

The pink against the black is a great colour combo that stands out. Although I'd definitely recommend possibly giving the black armour a much sharper edge highlight with a paler grey to showcase the armour better, as it seems to be a little lost in the void when it comes to details.

The CF Captain however looks absolutely sublime! Nice use of GK bitz to make a unique commander for your sons of Rynn. :D

 

Cambrius

[Razblood]

He's a Librarian rather than a Captain, but thanks for the kind words.

 

I get what you mean regarding the black, though the highlights are more obvious in person I'll probably go back and reinforce them a bit anyway :tu:

[blackbabyjesus]

Holy balls, this thread is still going! Razblood you've painted so much stuff and got so much better.

Gotta be brilliant to have a thread like this to document your progress over the years.

Razblood, buddy, long time no see. Glad to see you back, and you bring some fantastic Necrons to boot :tu:

[Razblood]

Hi, I'm afraid I am going to be disappearing again for a while.

 

My wife passed away on Thursday night at the age of 33, I am completely broken and don't quite know what to do with myself.

 

I am writing this to try and steady my mind, but I don't think it's working.

 

I can't concentrate on anything right now so hobby will be going on the back burner fo I don't know how long.

 

I hope to be back at some point when I can come to terms with this, but if not I just want to say it's been fun.

 

Thank you to everyone who ever commented on this thread, you really helped me through some tough times when hobby was what let me focus on the positives.

 

Till we meet again brothers.

[Doghouse]

Mate I have no words, I am so sorry to hear that. Please take care and remember this will be still here if you are ever ready to come back.

 

Right now take your time mate, my thoughts are with you.

[Bryan Blaire]

Razblood, there’s nothing we can say that alleviate the hurt, but when you can hobby again, we’ll be here.

 

The news you posted is probably some of the saddest I’ve seen around here, and you’ll be in my thoughts as well.  Find strength where you can and I hope you get many positive vibes to feed off as you are able.  Please take care.

[Custom Hero]

Sorry for you loss brother. Take your time, we’ll all still be here. I wish there was more I could say. Hang in there brother, hang in there.

[deathspectersgt7]

Very Sorry for your loss.

[Spaced Hulk]

I am so sorry to hear that mate. Please take care, you're in my thoughts.

[Dosjetka]

Devastating news, Raz. I'm very sorry for your loss. When/if ever you're ready to come back, the B&C will be glad to have you among us once more.

 

Take care.

[Skidman]

I’m sorry for your loss. Take care we will all be here if and when you need us. Thoughts and prayers for you raz

[Razblood]

Well I'm back, sort of. 

 

Got a few things on the go, chosen my heresy army and am working out the scheme. 

 

Can you guess who they are yet?

 

[Doghouse]

Fantastic to see you back mate and the Night Lords are looking great.

[Razblood]

Bit of an update, some wip of mk6 boys. 

Need to work out Legion badges, gang markings and weathering as well as figure out the basing. 

 

[Razblood]

Small update.

 

Currently working on the contemptor and finishing up building the heresy box. 

 

5 mk6 and the Spartan left to go.

 

Going pretty light on the weathering, pretty much just muddy greaves from walking through the quagmire of battle since the weathering pencils I planned to use don't seem to work too well over the blue.

 

But I'm happy with how everything is going with the scheme so far.

 

More pics soon.

[Doghouse]

Very nice stuff, I really like the lightening effect you have with these guys and that blue is seriously nice.

Thanks bud!

 

The blue has been a lot of trial and error, but I'm finally happy with it.

 

The lightning is surprisingly straightforward, I just let my shakes do their thing and avoid using pure white.

[Razblood]

WIP update.

 

Currently working on the contemptor and the praetor, though one is further along than the other 

 

[Razblood]

Update, Praetor is almost done.

 

Just a bit of tidying and a few details to pick out and the base rim of course.

[Razblood]

Well it's been a while, had a lot of health issues and lost my job so finding the motivation to do hobby has been pretty difficult.

 

Also trying to sort out armies to sell was really taking the wind out of my sails.

 

Though last week I got kinda bored during a bout of insomnia and accidentally started another army.

 

They're a lot further along than the pic, but I don't want to take more until they're all up to the same point.
