elmo Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I think I may have just found my next project, especially as I have some SW on the way. How about this as a diorama Thanks to the original artist (whoever you may be).

elmo Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) The Knights are now done http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/199/5/9/deathwing_knights1_by_elmo9141-d7r7snw.jpg http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/199/6/6/deathwing_knights2_by_elmo9141-d7r7sq4.jpg And 3 Assault Cannon Termies are also done along with some extra weapon arms for my earlier models. http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/199/c/0/terminators_by_elmo9141-d7r7ssa.jpg That just leaves 17 to do but most of them are just a stormbolter arm so they should be quick.

elmo Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) A moments lapse be-gets a lifetime of painting.... Brothers. I have broken down and gone halves on another DV box set. Even more models to paint but I just could not say no! Another 5 Deathwing :( This time I will be chopping off both arms for conversions.

Interrogator Stobz Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 That's great news! Now we get to see even more Belmo brilliance :D Keep up the amazing work Brother, it is truly inspirational.

Isiah Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nice Knights Elmo. Cleanly painted and their bases are excellent. Liking the (dark) red weapons cases too.

Captain Semper Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Big fan of red as the main contrast colour (instead of the more common green). Well done Elmo, keep going man - nothing stands in the way of the Deathwing! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/20/#findComment-3751435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I wanted to add that the Knight's poses look great, it's hard to make non-box poses look good.

elmo Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thank you brothers - you can't see me blushing Firstly the bad news... My pre-ordered stormclaw has been cancelled due to lack of stock. Not too bad as they where going to be a side project/diorama/spares anyway but on the good side this does mean it frees up the money I paid for it so I can "invest it" into something else ;) Next the really good news (especially for the Master of Recruits). After a mammoth 2 evenings of painting in 30°C+ I have managed to complete 17 Stormbolter arms and with this it means that another 11 Terminators from the 25 are complete. The only ones left now are the sword arms for the Sgts, the Apothecary, the Standard bearer and Champion. I am quietly confident to have completed my vow by this weekend and look forward to posting photos of the labour of love that was 25 Deathwing Next week I will carry on and paint up the spare arms ready for when my next DV box arrives. http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/203/3/6/wip___deathwing____more_terminators_by_elmo9141-d7rt6re.jpg Cod, Interrogator Stobz, JJD and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/20/#findComment-3753009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've just spent over an hour looking through this thread, salivating with jealousy! This is truely inspirational work, Elmo. I just wish my drug-induced hand wobble would do one so I could start to try and get some painting skills!!

elmo Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks for the kind words marvmoogy. I tend to go back over this thread and my main collection thread every so often as it helps me to see how I have improved (as I am sure you will) and it motivates me to try out new ideas/techniques. Also checking out the other guys fantastic threads on the DA forum means I get to steal all their ideas too ;) I had a similar problem a couple of years ago when my eyes went - now I have a pair of painting glasses Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/20/#findComment-3754221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cod Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 That is a huge undertaking of terminators, and then to paint them all to your high standards is even more inspiring Elmo! How does your paint go on so smooth?! Between Bobz and Stobz the DA are in safe hands for sure Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/20/#findComment-3755378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) The Termies are now complete: Linkie thingie I still need to paint up some spare arms but they can be done in slow time. It is nice to have the pressure lifted @cod_lover: Thanks :) The method I use is fairly simple and goes a little like this... Chaos black base spray Army painter skeleton spray Agrax earthshade in the armour recesses Wet drybrush with Ushabti Bone Normal drybrush with Vallejo Pale Sand dry drybrush of Vallejo Ivory Then do all the detailing and finally touch up with Bleached bone Seems to work for me :) Edited July 25, 2014 by Elmo9141 Cod 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260687-elmos-seemingly-constant-wip/page/20/#findComment-3755967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) There will now be a short pause in my DA as I have a backlog of Astra Milliwhatnow vehicles and troops to catch up on including: Baneblade LR MBT x 2 Demolisher/Punisher Wyvern/Hydra Chimera x 2 And loads of transport left right... All the vehicles will have magnetised bits. When normal service is resumed (or I just get bored of desert camouflage) with my DA I plan on finishing my RW models and starting on the 6th (or 3rd, not completely sure which yet) company.

Captain Semper Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I've got an idea Belmo! Why don't you do some Termies for a change?

LongGone Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 There's an Xzibit meme here somewhere... putting Deathwing on your Deathwing, so you can swing your Deathwing while you're Deathwing'n!

elmo Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Has it really been so long since I did any Dark Angels.... Bad Belmo, Bad! As a break in painting my AM I got back to my beloved 1st with some HH love.... Some WIP snipers (first of 10). These should be ready by Friday for some better photos. The camouflage is loosely based on British Combat 95 but I went with a little more pale brown/sand than the actual pattern. Not yet convinced if I should have gone with a busier pattern or not but these are pretty much how they will stay.
