firestorm40k Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wow, wish I had your painting output, you've an incredible work rate - really great quality too! Your Alpha Legion are on par with the GW studio models. ;) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/page/3/#findComment-3274125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Thanks for the compliment Firestorm! I have a personal goal for the call of chaos to finish 3 pledges, so I'm busting my ass over the holidays! I'm sure my painting output is about to drastically drop after that though as my wife and I are expecting our first baby on January 10!

Danny Cyanide Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Call of Chaos V - December Update 7 Marathon paint day today! Started this guy last night after my last update, and while he's not quite finished I figured he was good enough for one final December update! Still need toe nails, skull on autocannons, and smokestacks finished as well as some minor touch ups:http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/helbrute2_zps0fefc483.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/page/3/#findComment-3275644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Cyanide Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Call of Chaos V - January Update 2 Well I managed to get quite a bit done on Vow number 3 during the forum upgrade, so here are some pictures:I'll start off with the built and primed squad of cultists:http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/FE81A09B-3922-4EC2-8994-1032B913091B-2683-000002D48B13A078.jpgAfter I had painted them up to the level of the next picture, I realized that I had only been working on 9 guys, so I added number 10 in at this point:http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/E439131D-618B-4886-83FD-F5330C84ABBD-2683-000002D5DCA2D4DD.jpgHere is the current status of the 10 man CSM Squad:http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/3A5ACA40-20DD-4096-A547-E20A0790BC8F-2683-000002D48DCAC007.jpgAnd the Lascannon Havocs:http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/AEB03632-B7A0-46F0-AE09-00805405BEBA-2683-000002D490BA0C86.jpgIf I manage to get these 3 units done by the 18th, that will be 13 units completed for the Call, consisting of 1 walker and 73 infantry Models. So far it looks like my Son has decided to wait until I finish to be born, which I think is very considerate of him!

Danny Cyanide Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks AngelsAbsolute, I had a lot of fun with the Call! As promised, I've begun working on a Vendetta for my Iron Warriors Imperial Guard allies. I've begun experimenting with new techniques, looking for a more realistic look. First up, is Oil Paint weathering. Here is the Vendetta with the main colours blocked in: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/vendetta-1_zps269c3d57.jpg And here is the fist wing weathered with my first attempt at oil paint weathering! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Vendetta-weathering-begin_zps004b0d9c.jpg Let me know what you think, and how I can do better!

Danny Cyanide Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 So I've gone back and given it a bit of a rework, following Brother Lorien's advice in the IG forum. Like any good traitor, I had researched this process a bit before I began and did know to seal (gloss varnish) the vehicle before oils, so it was easy to go back and reign the weathering in a bit. Here's attempt number two: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/vendetta-3_zps783daafd.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/page/3/#findComment-3286983 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Cyanide Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Just letting everyone know that my log will likely take a bit of a break due to a new WIP that my wife and I have begun working on: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/558284_10152467683315013_3683920_n_zps31325ee0.jpg This is my Son, Wilde, who was born Jan 24! Like I said earlier he was very considerate and waited to arrive untill I had completed my Call of Chaos work, but it's his time for at least a little bit. I'll be around the boards, but likely no new WIP for a while! Cheers guys!

Volfen Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Utterly outstanding paint jobs! I love the gritty look you've given your troops, the weathering on the rank and file and the Vendetta ties your army together so well. Your speed is awesome also. Tho I can see your inspiration with the last picture ;) One of the many neat things about kids is that when they get older they will play games with you and the Wife has to go along ( "Quality Time with the Children, Honey" ) :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/page/3/#findComment-3292142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Congrats to you and your wife on your new arrival Danny - the only advice I can offer as a parent, as I always do, is to enjoy every moment with him as he'll grow up quicker than you'll believe! :) Also, when they're that size, you should still find some time for painting when he naps - it's when he's bit bigger, mobile and inquisitive that you might find your painting output decreases as you have to hide your models and paints away from little fingers ;) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/page/3/#findComment-3292242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 :) Well I'll second firestorm in saying to enjoy every moment that you can with Wilde!

Danny Cyanide Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well the last 8 weeks have been an incredible experience, getting used to being a father, and learning all sorts of things! My painting output has certainly taken a hit, but things have started to get to the point where I have some time to paint again. I have 4 days left to complete my LPC pledge, and I fully intend to do my best. I pledged 2 Vendettas, 10 IG Veterans and a Manticore... So with 4 days left, here are the Vets and the first Vendetta, pretty much completed: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/LPC-1_zps4e1a9884.jpg So in the next 4 days, I have to paint another Vendetta and a Manticore. It's going to be tight, but I think I can pull it off! I'll post better pics when they are all done!

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Just wanted to say that you have some great stuff in here. Hugely inspirational, actually. Would love to bring a loyalist force to bear against this. Can't pick out a favourite as I like everything here a lot. Any plans to do an army display for these guys?

Danny Cyanide Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks Arkhan! I would love to eventually do a nice display table for them all, but that would be a project for later! First I'd like to get at least a 1000 point playable army of each legion! With 28 minutes to spare, I am done my LPC vow! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/image_zps6525dfd8.jpg More pictures to follow tomorrow! Glad I didn't let the Guard forum down! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/page/3/#findComment-3340087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
