Lachdannan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I, Brother Syth of the Index Astartes, vow on the honour of my Chapter the Imperial Fists to paint and present at least a 5 man squad of Assault Terminators, 5 scouts with sniper rifles and an Iron clad dreadnought on or before the 31st of March, 2012. 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. This is the first time that I'll be undertaking this challenge, so I thought I'd start straight away! Here are my initial units to paint, all assembled and partly primed. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-261.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-260.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-259.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-262.jpg And my progress so far on 2 of my scouts. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-263.jpg Any c&c welcome.

Lachdannan Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Finished the first two scouts of the squad. Think they turned out alright. Hopefully the next three will be just as quick! http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-264.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-265.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-266.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2956879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talthus Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Looks great as always! Are these guys gonna double in your pre-Heresy Fists force? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2956933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 There's no reason why not. Just so happens none of these models have the aquila on them, so that's handy! Hoping to get the bulk of the remainder of the squad done tonight, depending on how the kids sleep...

Alcatraz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I always preferred the old metal scouts to the new plastic ones. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2957187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 I always preferred the old metal scouts to the new plastic ones. Same here, don't know why, just do for some reason. Maybe just cos I'm old. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2957193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdannan Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 @lorenzo_ishivar_kain Thanks, hopefully I can get them done. Slight update, nearly finished the scouts. With luck I might be able to finish them tonight. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-267.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-268.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2958310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I love your Scouts mate ;) I also much prefer the old metal models to the new ones. Though I'm not old ;) Looking forward to seeing this all finished before the end of March :P Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2958312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks Ludovic, I'm also looking forward to seeing them complete (if I can). Here I present the first 1/3 of my vow. A scout squad with sniper rifles. Had a god a freehanding the chapter badge, and I know its not great, but it will serve till I get better and doing that kind of thing. The camo seems to work for me, though in the past I have had camo work too well, and I've left models behind in terrain, so hopefully the same won't happen here! Anyways, here they are. Working on my Ironclad now. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-269.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-270.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2958864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vharing Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just curious where you got the scouts. The BA ones look like some I traded away a while ago.

lorenzo_ishivar_kain Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Holy crap!!! I don't like the old metal scouts, but you have painted them very very well :D I am waiting for your Dreadnought Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2959173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Metal scouts do look so much better than the current ones. It's the heads I don't like on the plastics and the metal ones have so much character in their faces. Maybe I should start chopping heads...

Dosjetka Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's the heads I don't like on the plastics and the metal ones have so much character in their faces. Exactly what I think.

Lachdannan Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wow, thanks for the support guys! @vharing The BA scouts were pilfered from my old Blood Angels army. The rest procured from ebay awhile ago. Well I have a small update, my Ironclad. Finished the yellow and now working on the details. Let me know what you think. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/ironclad.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244536-brother-syths-lpc-wip/#findComment-2961564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
