MadGreek Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 OK, just opening this thread to place hold for my challenge. My vow is: I, Mad Greek, answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete 1 Stormraven with Twin Linked Melta Gun and Lascannons, and Hurricane Bolters; 1 Land Raider Crusader with Multi Melta; 1 Drop Pod; 3 Razor Backs - 1 with Lascannon/Twin Linked Plasma Gun, 1 with Twin Link Assault Cannons, 1 with Twin Linked Lascannons; 1 Rhino; 4 Sanguinary Priests, 2 in TDA, 1 with Jump Pack and Infernus Pistol; and 1 Assault Squad w/jump packs, Sgt upgraded with Power Weapon and Storm Shield; from Codex: Blood Angels of total value 1270 points on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to my as yet unnamed successor chapter to the Blood Angels, and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end. Next step, figuring out how to post my pictures, and then to link this tread to my vow in the actual E TENEBRAE LUX thread. Edit - DONE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hey MadGreek, good to see you joining in - and with such a hefty vow too! :) In order to post pics, one way to do it is to upload them from your computer to an image storage site (such a photobucket for example but there are others) and then link the url of the picture in your post using the image button (the one with the little orange sun on the top part of the B&C editor). Good luck with your vow! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3069565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Here we go, first attempt at loading images. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/Transports.jpg Raider, Rhino, and Razorbacks http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/AssSqdandPriests.jpg Assault Squad and Sang. Priets. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/Raven.jpg Stormraven Don't have a great camera at the moment. Doesn't have the setting to get close without getting blurry. I'll get/borrow a better one to post the finished product and/or any WIP I may take. EDIT: IT WORKED. Thanks Captain Semper.

Kierdale Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 A good start! The raven looks nice with the extension, and it looks like you've got some funky helms on those infantry. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3069917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 That's a nice colour! The marines are going to be the same colour? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3084477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 That's a nice colour! The marines are going to be the same colour? Thank you, and Yes. I am doing a successor chapter to the Blood Angels using a Greek theme. Main color is Bronze instead of Red. Still have a black Death Company, and Sang Priests are Bone instead of White. Hope it all comes together. In my head it looks pretty cool.

MadGreek Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Once again procrastination has bitten me in the ass. The Bronze I use, the one i basecoated all my vehicles in for the previous picture, has been discontinued. I found another Bronze, from a differant company, and, of course, it is not quite the same. Time to re-spray. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3099247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 That is most unfortunate. :D I recommend 20 minutes of reading Morts poster thread. Best way of getting motivation I've seen.

MadGreek Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 OK, first few done. Regular Assault Squad - Sgt with Power Sword and Storm Shield http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/RAS.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/SgtCloseup2.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/SgtCloseup1.jpg So, in the last 10 days - I cut the power packs off the original models, replaced them with Jump Packs, snapped off the original head swaps I selected, replaced them with NEW head swaps I found, and had to redo the Bronze since the original one was discontinued. The Sgt has parts from 4 different companies. And that is why I NEVER get anything done. Once I settle on Chapter name and Icon his shield will get a logo, and perhaps a name on the shield skirt.

MadGreek Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Rhino. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/Rhino.jpg Had two old school Rhino sides, used a new Rhino "Front" to widen it to the new normal width. The top is just plasticard, hatches glued down. Back frame is cut up sprue material with the old school doors dropped in, and a new Storm Bolter added to the front. I think it came out OK.

sp4rky Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Nice looking Rhino there... I'd love to see a comparison to the other models, I can't quite work out the size of it from just itself in the picture. Really liking the DC Land Raider. Nice use of the Sang. Guard wings around the multi-melta :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3148429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks. When I post the next Razorback, I will put the Rhino in the picture with it for scale.

The Infernus Pistol with the hand are green stuff that I molded using Rapid Mold Sticks. The other side is not QUITE as nice, but overall I am happy with it.

Captain Semper Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Looks great MadGreek! Are you going to make it do you think? Regardless, I beleive there will be some PMing goign to take place once the ETL is over! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3149357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/IMAG0347.jpg This completes my vow. The Meltas in front are magnetized so I can swap out to any option there. The canopies are painted with blue transparent glass paint, so you cant really see inside - and I don't have to paint in there, but it still looks like "Glass," feels transparent, and is not just painted solid. I consider it done. That said, I might, in the future, add some red somewhere to break up all the Bronze. Or not. Not sure yet. On the Pod it was easy to pickout panels to do red. Not as easy on the Raven. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252928-madgreeks-e-tenebrae-lux-thread/#findComment-3149896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
