Thanks Brother Arkley :wink:

Progress Brothers... For me I find the first week of a vow tends to demotivate me as there does not seem to be much progress at first glance although it is a bit like a duck on water... above all seems slow and sedate while below the water level there is some frantic paddling going on :wink:

I have put the tactical squad to one side for now and decided to work on the 2 Assault squads plus the Tactical Sgt as it made sense to do all 3 robed models together.

After a week of basically block colour painting with some minor highlighting and washing on the robes I have ended up with the photos below and the plan is to go onto detailing and maybe basing by the end of the week with the tacticals for next week although I will also need to fit the jump packs in somewhere in this plan :sad.:

To the more observant of you - some of the legs and the jetpacks are from Anvil Industry who have become one of my most trusted suppliers and are now the proud owners of the converted "Elmo Approved™" award :tongue.:

After these there is only the 2 Devastator squads and the majority of the 3rd will be complete. If there is time I will concentrate on a couple of characters such as the Chaplains, Librarians and Company Commander - fingers crossed...

Weeky update... I was a little distracted by the real life events over the last week so found my motivation a little lacking.

I hope to have at least 1 Assault squad (pushing for 2) by the end of next week :smile.:

Those anvil industries jump packs are pretty sweet alright, mind you robes and a jump pack? What could possibly go wrong with strapping a couple of jet engines to your back when wearing robes? :teehee:

This weeks update - a little later than usual :(

I have just the pistol arms, pauldrons and helmets to do for the 7th and 8th Assault squads which I hope to have completed by mid week then the 6th squad to do (about a week) and that will be my second vow completed.

Looking real good. It would be awesome if your sergeants had scorchmarks on their robs from the exhausts. :biggrin.:

 

And damn Elmo, I just took a look at your Guardsmen and your Tau. Combined with your Marines, you really are a painting machine.

I really must get a life :wink:

 

You have one, a painting servitor of the Emprah.
