TheDevourer Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 So this is my W.I.P thread for the DA Challenge, aswell as being the first time that I upload pictures of my figures ;) I decided to take to the painting field, because of an upcoming tournament and because we can't let those pesky Dark Angels win ;) Here's my vow: I TheDevourer answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete 1 Grey Hunter Pack (9x man with Wolf Standard, Melta Gun, Mark of the Wulfen), 1 Grey Hunter Pack (5x man with melter), 1 Wolf Scout Pack (5x man with Melter, Mark of the Wulfen), 1 Runepriest (1x man with Chooser of Slain), Lord on Thunderwolf with TH SS, 2 Rhinos and 2 Wolf Guard Battle Leaders (Power Fist and Combi Melta), 5 Longfangs with 4 Missile Launchers from Codex: Space Wolves of total value of 1010pts on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to the Vlka Fenryka and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end Here's a pic of my runepriest, if I make good progress I'm hoping that I'll be able to upload a finished pic later tonight. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/TheDevourer1991/CIMG2306.jpg I'll upload pics of the rest of the vow when I find the time to take a couple of decent pictures rather than the ones i made yesterday.

TheDevourer Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 So here are some more W.I.P pictures First of all one of the two rhinos (One is painted, but I'm not happy with the paintjob, so will be repainting it.) http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/TheDevourer1991/CIMG2296.jpg The Wolf Scout Pack http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/TheDevourer1991/CIMG2308.jpg And the Wolf Lord (TWC is already painted, I'll have to edit my points) http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/TheDevourer1991/CIMG2302.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3065443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Way to go Devourer! looks good - you seem to have a lot of talent there! Can't wait to see this develop.

TheDevourer Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks all =) @ Semper I'm only a half decent painter at most, you haven't seen much paint on this thread yet, so don't leap to conclusions ;) But thanks anyway! @ El'mo You have more time at hand, aswell as more figures! I won't be able to outdo your points for this vow, you still have the best part of 3000 points lying around near your desk :P @ Forte Looking forward to the feast in honour of our painting struggle! Mjod for all! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3065469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Ok! Here Is my first finished model! Well at least for now, I'm sure I'll find something to change on him ^_^ The Under Coated Rhino is fairly far aswell now, it'll still take me a while though. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/TheDevourer1991/CIMG2415.jpg http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o504/TheDevourer1991/CIMG2416.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3065579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmande Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Your Rune Priest double-dips as a Rhino pilot? ^_^ Jokes aside, the coloring is decent but I feel like you should go over the flat armor plates with the original grey color.

TheDevourer Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 I may have to do that looking at the photos and the rhino pilot will be getting a different hair color ^_^ But I'm also quite fond of the dirtier look, ah indecision ;) I'll probably clean up a little tomorrow though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3065585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmande Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hey, I'm a fan of dirty looks myself ;) I guess the back of the legs stand out a lot to me, and the original grey popping out from under the wash looks really bright and off-putting. Just a thought. v ^_^ v Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3065590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 That's Space Wolf Grey for you ^_^ Like I said I'll see what can be done with my meagre painting skills ;) Thanks kindly for the input!

TheDevourer Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ok, I haven't managed alot today due to university times, aswell as having a meeting at work, but I can tell you the following. I dry brushed some space wolf grey onto the rune priest (Flat armor surfaces). Furthermore the Rhino is looking rather shiny :) Although it still needs most of the details painting. The main body is done except for inks and a few bits and bobs. I think the scouts are next ;) I've also tried to get a hold of a couple of bits and pieces to increase my vow by 230 pts. I hope I manage to purchase them from somewhere. Wonder if anyone can guess what the 230pts are :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3066388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDevourer Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Already have most of that, so I'll have to say no! Close but no cigar :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3066397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 the thunder-squirrel and a lone wolf? :) your rune priest is looking rather good [read in dodgy camp texan accent from The Longest Yard] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3066553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'll give you a hint: I doubt there are any space wolves that play without them (Mhhhm cheese). It's a buggery to get enough weapons for them though, specially the point effective weapons seem to only come in at one per pack.

Russ Brother 92 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd have to suggest a Grey Hunters Pack w/ 2 Plasma, PW and WS (185) + WG w/ PF & Combi-Melta (43) = 228 B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3066952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Come on you're getting closer. Now how to do this without making it too obvious, hmm... I will be trying to make 2 5 man squads, wolfguards are not involved :) If you look at my vow you can see what is missing in my army B) Is noone else going to try to guess? Otherwise Russ Brother will have the answer soon :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252666-my-vow-for-e-tenebrae-lux/#findComment-3066957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDevourer Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'll sabotage Elmo's vow (Or hide the camera). Is that reward enough? :devil: Not sure about the dreamcatcher thing, sounds pretty weird :D Anywho, painting wise I've done some more details on the rhino, but the weather is being a spoil sport ;) 30 odd degrees kind of slows down painting. I may possibly finish the rhino tonight, but no promises on that!

Did you decide you want to know fear after all? The Inner Circle will protect their own little Wolf, and your reward will be in Cell 42.

TheDevourer Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Pah, your puny threats mean nothing to the might of the space wolves ;) We wipe aside marine legions with ease, why should we fear the dark angels? But hey I wouldn't be a wolf if I wasn't itching for a fight ;) You'll just have to give me some time, my rhinos aren't ready to transport me into the fray yet.
