Brilliant work Xenith, really knocked them out of the park.

[Xenith]

Thanks guys, there's still a few bits that need work now they're on my screen, but finished enough for the table and ETL!

[Xenith]

So. After having had a blood angels army since 1999,today marks the first day that I have an actual painted Dante model.

Ignore the weird green tint on the leg, that's a reflection from my blue phone...

[Xenith]

Copy/Pasting from my post in the ETL Thread:

My 4th (and final) vow is complete. I had wanted to get through these guys quickly and make another vow, but ultimately they were too much fun to paint and I got carried away.

So, my final offering:

Chaplain

Jump pack detail

Dante

The Sanguinor

Jump pack detail

Vial Detail

It’s been a(n exhausting) blast, but I’ve never painted so much, so quickly, while only sacrificing a little in quality. I think I’ve put it where it counts.

I come out of this knowing I am capable of painting 1000pts per month, and with almost 2500 pts of freshly Blood Angels for the collection.

Thanks to Semper for running this, and Reclusiarch Jolemai hor hassling, harassing, poking and prodding.

Til next year!

In the meantime, I'll be assembling all the models I painted during ETL for a group photo session, and then getting straight into the Feast of Blades in a week or so - if you havent already added your champion's püainted photo, do so asap!

So, assembling everything I painted for ETL, just under 2500 pts worth

[Damon Nightman]

Hell yeah man! Looks great. Love the 3 golden boys in the front. Castigon really came out great!

So a full shot of all the characters painted as my second ETL Vow

Librarian

Is his force sword missing a pommel?

[Xenith]

Nice, what happened to the pommel and the rest of the hilt of his sword?

 

 

Is his force sword missing a pommel?

 

I get it, I need to fix the pommel!  

 

It's a second hand model, and I didnt have an immediate solution, I'll be going back and adding a poimmel to him at some point, it does look strange.

[Quixus]

Sorry, I totally forgot remarking that earlier.

[Xenith]

No worries, I needed the reminder, it still hasn't been done!

[Xenith]

So a little WIP of my BA Biker Gang, and my first foray into Grav Bikes.

These will hopefully be done this weekend, little work on the Feast of Blades, then tidying up some ETL entries, and then onto a new project.

[Xenith]

And finished with these guys for now. The two gunners still need chapter badges, but they can wait fire a while.

[Jolemai]

Anything lined up for RTS?

[Xenith]

Unsure, I exhausted all my made-but-not-painted models for ETL, this afternoon will involve making summat else.

 

I was considering pledging some freehand, squad markings, etc if that's allowed?

[Jolemai]

All that is secondary stuff. You'd need a legal unit to pledge as primary to enter.

[Xenith]

I have most of a Dev squad, it turns out, and probably a tank ;)

[LutherMax]

They look great Xenith - clean and sharp!

[Xenith]

Thanks Luther!

And next up on my bench:

[Xenith]

++ I...still...function...++

- Kaspar the Destroyer, upon recovery of his revered suit and sarcophagus after the purging of Scoris XIV

Cassor the Damned, aka "Kaspar the Destroyer", as he will be known in my army.

Smashed together from the original metal Furioso kit and a the plastic Furioso for the torso. Legs cut apart at the hip and knee to make the striding forward pose, hydraulics repositioned, spacer at the waist to add height, guitar wire in the shoulders to hide the join.

Cassor has a set loadout, so the fixed metal furioso stormbolter DCCW arm goes to Cassor, and the plastic furioso ones will go to another (red) Furioso, which will be a mash up of the Furioso and Ven Dread kits.

The spare metal torso from the old Furioso kit will get plastic ven dread arms to form some kind of Hellfire dread, TL Lascannons or assault cannon, with either ML or TLAC. I have too much stuff.

[LutherMax]

Absolutely LOVE the pose! I'm totally stealing that next time I do a DC Dread :D
