So how's this going?

2018 goals:

  • Astorath done by the end of March - failed
  • Bikes done by the end of March - failed
  • Remove the blue-tack from a lot of my stuff (so fix it or magnetise it) - too vague a goal per se, but I did trim a lot of it.
  • Finish my DC Knight - see below
  • Participate in the three* BA events this year - this may affect the above list! - ongoing

 

 

 

 

* RTS, ETL (hopefully) and something to be confirmed...

 

  • Bikes are almost done, I've got some minor highlights to do on the last three. Will be done by the end of the year, hopefully before the RTS
  • Astorath got moved along nicely, but he's still maybe 70 % complete? Will be done by the end of the year
  • Still got lots of blue tac to remove (which means magnetise and/or paint aftwerwards). Lets aim for five models to be sorted by the year's end*
  • RTS plans have already been made, I'm looking at completing 2/3 units (which means less bluetac)
  • With regards to the DC Knight (which includes less bluetac), penitence vow enacted:

ETL VI vow 2 WIP

Final tank WIP, should be done by Sunday...

To add, all tanks need their tracks attaching and I need to sort the secondary weapons to Vindicator and Scorpius (painted, but still in bits).

Scorpius needs a second coat of red, recess wash, tidying, and detail.

Vow 2 complete

  Reveal hidden contents

I Reclusiarch Jolemai, first of this name rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete the following; one Librarian with force stave, bolt pistol, jump pack of total value 120 on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

Not much to add; I expect to get the model done but I'm going to have to focus and push hard to do it over the next two evenings. Doing three tanks was a bit of a slog in the end (especially having to add on three lots of tracks at around midnight last night) but I'm glad they are out of the way.

Looking good! Do you use painters tape for the stripe on the demolishers shield?

Nope, just a ruler :blush I probably should look into it tbh especially for large DC vehicles...

ETL VI Vow 3 complete

... and with that I'm done, having burned significant family faction over the past three months to get these vows done (I'm also on vacation from Wednesday with little signal). Basically, I "hope" I'm not painting anything else during August...

Despite needing a base and some highlights (which probably wont ever happen), I have to say Tigurius has never looked so good :p Ordinarily I wouldn't have bothered, but I was given the model and there's hardly any Ultramarine insignia. Also, I need a foot/jump guy with a staff so...

I think you're going to have a blast with the Libby Dread. I just can't seem to pull the trigger on adding a Furioso to any of my lists. If he were more combat effective I think I would bring him along. Let us know how he fairs!

Cool list. I don't know what those dreadnoughts are but they sound awesome. I've been pondering a dreadnought heavy list for quite a while. I really do like all of the models and fluff. They're expensive points/PL wise but who cares? I can probably field 2 x DC, 1 X librarian, 2 X furioso, 2 or 3 X regular dread, and one fancy old dread forget their names but they're in the codex. Oh yeah also a new push fit primaris dread. I'm going to have to do that!

Vow 2 complete

Always love a Predator Annihilator. Got any shots of just that?

Sure, I'll get around to that at some point. However, I may throw it into the RTS as a secondary vow for the Destructor and Rhino bits, so you may have to wait until then. I do intend on getting some more pics up at some point though :)

I Reclusiarch Jolemai, first of his name rise to the challenge of From Rage to Salvation and vow to complete the following as a primary vow: two Drop Pods and the following secondary vows: Astorath; details, basing, assembly on or before November 30th, 2018. Should I bring honour to the Blood Angels I will proudly wear the IRATUS DOMINUS badge; should I fail I will display the CARCERES IRA on my chest as a reminder of my shame.

Right, basically they were the only thing unpacked and thus they have queue jumped into the RTS :facepalm: they need:

  • Second coats and tidying
  • Recess washes, detail, highlights
  • Internal changing to bone on the red one
  • Harnesses built and painted for both
  • Gluing fully (as I'm not going to bother using them as Lucius Pods much anymore)
  • ... and then there's Astorath in that bag. He needs his details, basing, and assembly doing

Good luck Reclusiarch. When I painted my drop pod bone it took much of the competition to get it right.

If you're curious of my method; it was Rakarth Flesh thinned in multiple coats. Followed by multiple recent shades of agra earthshade, tidied up along the doors with multiple thin coats of ushabti bone. Followed by the cockpit having the same method, except I dry brushed the innards and then edge highlighted with screaming skull.

Cheers. I essentially do that on mine, but in old money: it's currently a Celestia Grey basecoat -> (Bubonic Brown) -> Bleached Bone -> Chestnut Wash (recesses) -> Bleached Bone -> Pallid Wych Flesh. Basically I've moved on from using a brown basecoat as I can't get it down smooth enough (wrong colours to hand) and the Bubonic I use as a transition piece on larger surfaces. It's coming up quite nice all in all.

Battle Summary

Using my Dreadnought List - 1500 Vs Harlequins

What's a battle summary I hear you ask? Well basically it's a summary with photos of the battle rather than an in-depth report like I normally do...

Using my Dreadnought List - 1500 (but reduced to 1k) Vs Grey Knights

[interesting note] This is my first game at a new group a lot closer to me. Hopefully playing more often will help me shake off the rust and all ow me to do less mistakes...

I will say it is my favorite model I've painted. Or at least I feel the most proud of it. That's the main reason it finds so many spots in my lists, I just wish it was cheaper, much much cheaper. T_T

I can't say for sure since you didn't list your Devastators at all and left out the loadout of your shooty scouts but it sounds like using Auspex Scan could've helped a lot against the Harlequins. ^^
