Taranis Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 First vow for the From Rage To Salvation campaign. 10 RAS and 10 scouts. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20130908_092509.jpg I know that there's a scout too much. Bonus. :) The 10 Assault marines might look complete but I'm changing my red for something more grim/dark/fleshtearers. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20130908_092323.jpg The left is the new colour. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20130908_092240.jpg Above is the to do list. The bottom ones are the right, new colour. Thank god black always is in fashion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Old metal CC scouts, yay!! love the old models. Good stuff mate, however there are some moldlines you might want to get rid of. :) Keep it coming, I'm sitting at the paint desk right now as well^^ Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hey friend. Thanks for the heads up. Rescues off eBay. Hoarded 100+ different models a few years ago. Two LPC's and two ETL's and only about 20 not redone by now. :) I've got a lot of vintage through eBay. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Status update. Jumpers are finished. I gave them the Mephiston red of my last painting project but the red on red proved too bright still. The previous project was red on black. Much darker and better. The repair treatment was a moderate dose of black wash. Much better result but I might go back and start over one day. Here they are: http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131010_210323.jpg Second part of my vow is scouts. Status now is resprayed red (no more black currently:() then painted black to prepare for the right red end result. Here they are so far. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131011_194512.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 And the 11/10 scouts are ready for deployment. It appears we lost 2-3 days of posting. Not awesome work I admit. I've been itching to try painting a lamenter so there will be another vow shortly. It will be a small one as time is in short supply. :) http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131025_173005.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131025_173024.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I,Taranis, proud son of the IX legion hereby vow to complete and present a Captain of the proud Lamenters before the 1st of December. I vow to bear the CARCERES IRA badge in my signature, should I fail to complete my pledge. May Sanguinius guide my paint brush. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131028_063611.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131028_063623.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131028_063631.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Operation Lamenter proceeds. God I wish for a bit more steady hand. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131116_184112.jpg I knew I probably would be pressed for time so only one model in second vow. Even with several days to go I'm happy with that decision. I'm actually getting a bit excited about the shoulder pad. So far so good. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 are you digging your lines with a scapel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Nope, drawing with a pen. I'm open to suggestions though . I'm not 100% confident about the symmetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Before you glue your should pad on, use a hobby knife to cut your lines. What this will do is give you a ridge, and it will help tremendously with stoping when you need to, and prevent the paint from spilling a bit. Start with the but end at the bottom of the shoulder pad and lean it forward towards the top. it will make strait lines. Do not try to draw with the point of your blade. I could always try and do a tutorial if you are having a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 That is excellent! I'll try it tomorrow if all goes as I'm hoping. Update tomorrow again I hope.:tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well I tried your approach but was reluctant to totally reboot. I gave up the scalpel route after a few attempts. I had a decent hobby knife as tool. The result so far is this: http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131117_180130.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/20131117_180230.jpg I think a few extra pointers as to your scalpel/checkers technique will be most appreciated....

Memento Of Prospero Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Alright. I will make a couple shoulder pads for you with pictures and see if I can even make a video out of it with my GS4. I should be able to post it tomorrow or tuesday, since these are my off days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 That will be great. I'm considering gradually changing my force to lamenters if I can get the hang of painting them. It will be a long term project if it goes well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Alright, I made my first attempt. I haven't done this in YEARS, so I thought it would be a good idea for you to see my failures and not just the final result, so you can see the progress in technique. I should be good after 4-5 attempts. So what do we learn here? The lines running top to bottom need to start curving inward once you reach the point where the shoulder pad gets thinner. You can clearly see I did not do this with the two middle lines and it killed it. I'll forage for more clean shoulderpads and do some more. (I have just about only DC/SG shoulders, shame on me!) I'll give you an update later today after my next attempt. Once I have it down, I'll do a Video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I can see it working and having not glued it to the arm eases the marking process. It'll be weekend before I'll try again. Thanks for investing time to help. You're good at helping and inspiring. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 You can only manage this if the shoulderpad is not glue on, otherwise it will be unstable and impossible to make strait line. I found another clean shoulderpad, I'll make another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memento Of Prospero Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have good news and bad news. My GS4's video capture did not work well with my attempt at filming it (I do not have a cameraman handy XD) and it was just rubish. The good news is that I have a clean shoulderpad. All you have to do is file down the excess plastic if you gouge too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Looking good. I haven't too much free time during the week but I think I'll sneak a few shoulder pads and knife with me to work. Meaningful lunch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's all about using a good surface to support your knife, and cuting flat, not with the point. Slice into it slowly, and make sure you slowly start arcing towards the middle once you've cut 2/3s of the way. If you are using a shoulderpad that already has an icon in the middle it's easier since you don't have to make long strokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro X Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 here how I did this, its not perfect but eh, if you like to cool if not its fine. once its on you can touch it up and clean it up with spot painting but it works kinda fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t4play Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 this looks like hard work think i will avoid it and stick to flesh tearers ;-) what are these VOWs all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 It could be worse . It's just one marine. It could have been 60 tacticals and 30 Devestators. LOL. I deliberately chose a single marine in order to make it before the deadline. All these lovely painting events are for fun and motivation. A board member og moderator takes the initiative and coordinates. Captain Semper ran the ETL I & ETL II. The annual LPC was run by Sigismund Himself. Captain Semper is currently running the Call of Chaos. We are currently in the final two weeks of the From Rage To Salvation. If you can declare, paint and present a codex BA legal entry you can participate, complete and reap the reward. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279289-from-rage-to-salvation/ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
