RIL's Blood Angels WIP Thread


Res Ipsa Loquitur

Recommended Posts

I, Res Ipsa Loquitur, of the Blood Angels, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least two Stormraven Gunships, a Drop Pod, a five-strong Scout Squad and a seven-strong Death Company with Jump Packs on or before the 31st of March, 2013. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the updated Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done.

Starting point for LPC Vow

The miniatures that are currently part-painted will be stripped and begun again. I bought them from ebay like that.

 

The Drop Pod is on the shopping list.

Along with the LPC I'll also be posting WIP shots of my attempts to finish putting together a Death Company army.

 

First up is Astorath The Grim who I originally bought in 5th Ed. and planned to use as a Captain. He only needs minor work really; a few details tidied up, parchment/scrolls, pauldrons and wings repainted and his face/hair done up.

So I've had a bit of a disaster. I put the Scouts and the two DC that needed stripping into my usual stripper of choice, only for some reason this time it melted them into unrecognisable lumps of plastic. 

 

Question One; does it matter that the Scouts I'll paint up for this weren't the ones that I pledged? I'm going out today to buy a new box, you see.

 

Question Two; can I change my pledge to include only five DC with JPs instead of the seven I've pledged? 

Sigismund Himself has not responded to my PM as yet, but here goes anyway;

 

Amended Vow

 

I, Res Ipsa Loquitur, of the Blood Angels, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least two Stormraven Gunships, a Drop Pod, a five-strong Scout Squad, two Death Company Dreadnoughts, a Terminator Librarian and a sevenfive-strong Death Company with Jump Packs on or before the 31st of March, 2013. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the updated Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done.

 

Additions underlined, amendments struck.

 

Pics of additions to follow.

Starting point for Dreads and Librarian;

The Librarian is new, the Dreads I got from ebay. I took their original armaments off, gave them a Simple Green bath, then gave them blood fists/talons. I also now have the Drop Pod and I'll be starting on that soon.

 

I now have everything that needs to be sprayed black built, so I'll get on that ASAP. Painting pics coming soon.

<p>"Coming Soon" apparently means "in five months time".</p>

<p> </p>

<p>So I failed my LPC Vow, miserably. To whom do I report for the Sig of Shame?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>However, while I am tardy I am not completely idle. I finished the JP DC and DC Dreads, and finished tidying up Astorath;</p>

<p> </p>

<p>And as a result my DC contingent is finished;</p>

<p>The LRR doesn't get much use these days, sadly.</p>

No idea what happened there ^

It is? Hmm. I only have a Drop Pod, Stormraven, Tactical Squad, the good Captain and half a Scout Squad left to do for my BA before I cast my beady gaze on another army.

 

Plus, as this thread evidences, I'm really bad at painting challenges. 0-2 so far. When is this event starting and where do I find out more about it?
