Sharp's ETL Vow

[Brother-Captain Sharp]

I, Brother-Captain Sharp of the Angels of Retribution, hear the call of the Inner Circle and pledge in humility to complete one Land Raider Crusader with Extra Armor, one Deathwing Terminator Squad with Banner, Cyclone Missile Launcher, and Apothecary, and one Captain with Combi-plasma and Power Sword from Codex Dark Angels of total value 690 points on or before 227.012.M3. Success will honor the Sons of the Lion, while failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end.

 

So, I'm living with my parents temporarily due to roommates not knowing how budgeting works. :roll: Today I decided to try and get some painting done, so I went and dug out my paints. Here's my work space:

:) Little bit tight. And yes, that's a 18"x48" board laid over buckets. So that makes painting a little hard.

 

Plus, I could only find one brush: my base coating brush. Forging ahead, I got the quartering roughed out on the Land Raider Crusader, and then got bored. So I decided, to hell with it, I'm painting the captain.

 

As such, this model so far has been painted with one size brush: basecoat. It was a challenging idea and I've actually learned a lot from trying it.

Comparison between the brush and model:

(Sorry for the small pictures. My phone's cropping program sucks)

 

Overall, I'm happy with the progress I got done on him tonight.

 

P.S. Oh yeah, I got the OOP Dark Angels captain with combi-plasma. I only paid $15 to get it :smugface: :)

I think he looks fantastic :) I love the blending you've done (which is even more impressive after having seen the size of the brush!).

 

Can't wait to see more of him!

Excellent start Sharp, purple and green often look awful together but add the bone and he looks tops <_<

Thanks, Ludovic. I have a 700 pt vow, so there should be a good amount of models in this thread. I hope you enjoy 'em! :)

Thanks, SCC. I know what you mean about the purple, but I find that with red and bone around it, it can be a nice contrasting color to add some pop to a model. :)

I feel like face didn't show up well at all. In natural light, it's got good shadows to it.

Comments and criticism welcome!
