Aqui's Sob topic - My Order passes 3k points...

Yes, the one the Canoness has included. I have used Milliput before, but it's been years since I last touched that stuff :lol: There's a Hobbycraft near where I work, so I might pop in on the way home.

GAAAH! I literally just bought some GS yesterday. Oh well. Should work to fill in the gaps on my exorcists.

[Aqui]

I ended up buying the yellow-grey one, I wasn't sure whether the fine Milliput would be suitable. I've used the yellow-grey in the past so I know what to expect (ish... )

 

My Legion of the Damned will be painted up at the same time as my Cypher Counts-as, so that'll be interesting (I'm going for a scheme similar to the spirits around Nagash's base, using Nilakh Oxide)

[Aqui]

After much ing, I managed to get the first of the two custom Immolators built. I will have a name for the "pattern" type, but I haven't decided on the name yet. I was going to get a start on the second one, but I need to get to sleep soon

More soon...

[KiwiBen]

These look good Aqui. I've got a couple of spare Immolitor turrets too, and I was thinking of doing exactly this...

 

Seeing these have clinched it... now I've got to find some spare Razorback kits

The plate used to mount the Immolator turret can be found in a regular Rhino sprue if I recall correctly if you don't have a Razorback kit

[KiwiBen]

Yeah from memory it does... I'm raiding the cupboards at my dad's place this weekend, I'm pretty sure he had a couple of rhino/razor kits still on the sprue tucked away... I'm sure he won't miss them!

++++++...Welcome Canoness Sera. Your command?

Saffron Sera paused. She had no clue as to what she had seen...who she had seen. The individual was armoured in typical Sororitas armour, or so she thought. For a few brief moments, she could have sworn to Him on Earth that the being was a Marine...

Impossible. But still, she needed to understand what she had seen. It wasn't the first time their paths crossed. The first time, she was nearly killed by the other, their own destiny degreed it. This time, they had throttled the life out of a Daemonette that pounced upon her with ease. Sera had seen experienced Marines torn asunder by those vile apparitions, so how was this one able to do so?

Her hands keyed in the commands necessary to access the central data bank. It took hours to get the information she needed, the data core was old and there were few Mechanicum to keep the Machine Spirits appeased. But in the end, she got her answer. Well, she got an answer. She left with even more questions. A Dark Angel, wearing one of the oldest types of Astartes plate she had ever seen. Mark IV "Maximus" armour...It was so rare these days. But there was no mistaking the hooded figure any more.

Cypher

Her superiors will want to hear of this.

(S)He isn't finished yet, the plasma pistol amongst other things need to be completed, but Cypher is the first model near completion for my ETL vow. I was going to make the armour green like the "true" Cypher, but in the end, I thought that green robes with black armour would look better. The idea of painting a combined DA symbol and Fleur was rejected in the end as there isn't anywhere near enough flat painting surface to do it. A pity, but I'm kinda glad as my freehand sucks! The word painted on the blade is "Leonis" as a nod to El'Jonson.

I've had painters block these past few months and typically, it goes away when I have little time left to complete my vow. That, however, is still possible as long as I can keep my motivation up. Getting my counts as (nearly) done has helped a lot.

Up next, a former Ganger, turned Ecclesiarchy Priest...Thanks for looking!

[Servant of Dante]

I like it! Those brooding Dark Angels won't be happy, but who cares what they think!

[WarriorFish]

I like the green in particular, well done :tu:

[Aqui]

So then, to actual progress!

Canoness, Cypher and Ministorum Priest (using "Mad Donna Ulanti" as a counts as):

Whilst I'm quite happy with them, it wasn't until I was virtually finished with the Canoness that I realised that I was supposed to paint her in the colours of the Order of the Valorous Heart! Oh well, it just means that one of my older Canoness' will have to be stripped and repainted (I have five at the moment, if you count the Cypher Counts as )

Legion of the Damned squad (using the BSS squad points for the ETL):

I'm quite happy with these. They came out as good as I'd hoped I have two of the Sister Superior/Canoness with Icon models and chose that model for this squad as her face is extremely indistinct (possibly a miscast, or excessive stripping took the detail away, I don't know as she was an ebay win)

Penitent Engine (number two of four) Known as The Question:

Following on from my first PE, The Test comes The Question. I have built the third PE, The Answer, but didn't take a picture for some reason (probably as it's not even primed yet). The Answer has a really agressive pose leaning forward as far as is possible to accomplish with a PE without it falling over. The fourth PE (which will be built after ETL, mainly as it was received with a damaged arm, which The Answer was sent to me from GW as a replacement), will be known as The Solution. But that'll be for another time...

And finally, the Retributor squad. Like the Canoness, they were supposed to be Valorous Heart. Oh well, looks like my DIY will be getting bigger after all!

I still have the vehicles to finish (the final kitbashed Immolator still to be built), the bases to do on the Sisters and naturally both PE's. I'm calling it for today as I've been painting for ten hours and to be frank, it's becoming a chore. I have Thursday off along with whatever hours I can put in after work this week, so I should still be able to get them all done.

Comments, encouragement and constructive criticism welcome!

[Servant of Dante]

I like it! The colors on the Retributors are especially nice, in my opinion.

[WarriorFish]

Yeah, the Rets look great :D How did you do your LotD squad as they look really nice?

Thank you both!

 

The Legion of the Damned is:

 

Grey Primer (Halfords spray can)

White undercoat (Halfords spray can - but not a complete coat. Just enough to cover the raised parts of the model, leaving the grey for shadows)

Nilakh Oxide - a fairly heavy, but not swamped coat.

Drybrush with Hellion green.

Lighter drybrush with White Scar.

Still have my Avenger and Sisters of Silence to add, along with my Sisters of the Damned and Canoness Cypher. Also, about half of the list directly above isn't painted

 

Still to actually see what I have is quite gratifying. The BSS will be made bigger sooner or later as will my Seraphim and Retributor squad. I just need to buy more Rhinos...
