Today in the hobby I....

TITH I got schooled on color theory on Facebook and spent time second guessing my whole planned Legion project.

 

Think I'll play some Space Marine tonight for inspiration.

Well painting hasn't been going well, and I can't find most of the servo skulls in the game.

 

Might need to take some time off from painting and rethink what I want for my minis.

thewarriorhunter could you post a few pics of a full squad (or your entire army) i'd love to see the entire bunch of em together.

 

I don't have too much painted yet because I'm slow, but here's my kill team. If you click into either of my plogs you'll see more pictures with a few shots of full squads.

 

 

TITH I got more work done on my ETL LT and a couple intercessors:

It's a very distinct color scheme. I do like it. May I ask how you did your white?

Thanks, and I'll let my wife know, she came up with it :)

 

It's actually a light gray but usually comes out white in photos. The recipe is pretty straightforward but time consuming because I do a recess wash and then two highlights.

 

Base coat: Vallejo Sky Grey 70.989

Recess wash: Secret Weapon Miniatures Concrete

1st Highlight: Vallejo Silvergrey 70.883

2nd Highlight: Vallejo White 70.951

TITH i made some nice progress on my ETL vow.

Today in the Hobby, I did two things at the same time.

I did the base colours for the first part of my Fourth Vow for the ETL;





…And I also did the first part of a fancy custom base (also pictured above) that is inevitably going to lead to me buying lots of greenstuff and rebasing everything I own.

TITH I finished painting Marnar "Not-Marneus" Coldhammer (for now)

 

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I got more work done on my intercessors and LT. Getting closer.

 

[Baron Sebas]

TITH i made some more progress. Now it's only the bases + the top weapons left to do for my vow.

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I got closer to finishing my three current WIP models.

Today in the hobby I converted a spare easy to build reiver into a new phobos lieutenant! I also primed my shadow spear stuff.

[Guest MistaGav]

Still working on my 3 Repulsor Executioners. I'm so very close to the end stage now I can almost taste victory!

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I got very close to finishing my Phobos LT.

 

[Viridia]

TITHI had to order my greenstuff to be delivered to the store for next week at the earliest, so it's highly likely my ETL vow won't be finished in time. On the bright side, I've got plenty of time to game on Battlefleet Gothic and Blood Bowl until then!

[BitsHammer]

TITH I finally shelved trying to take my painting places I'm not ready to take it yet.

 

That and I basically wrote an article on how we ended up with Primaris and the direction 40k is probably taking.

[Baron Sebas]

TITH i completed the building (and magnetizing) of my new ETL vow.

[Vykes]

TITH, or yesterday I guess, I worked up almost everything on my ETL vow which is also a little testbed for a new army.... that started with having a few too many kill team core sets.

Anyway, got the Voidclades mostly done. Just need to dot some eyes, finish the Horisian medallion, and.... figure out how to add more support elements for what amounts to a drop army.

There may be a few more than that all told, though.

[BitsHammer]

I decided to take it easy today and do some simple painting instead of pushing for some high end standard. I think I got some zeal into my pallet though...

 

 

And yes, I'll finish him tonight, I just had to take a break to go do that pesky "work" thing.

TITH, I locked in getting a 'Nids KT next week, and decided on a couple themes for the Specialists. Names created from the perspective of terrorized Hive Gangers and civilians. In short:

 

Veteran - Hormagaunt "The Hunter" - Hormagaunt has standard Hive Fleet coloration, with chips out of its blades and crest, as well as one missing eye. Hormagaunt has been hunted numerous times, and has never once fallen.

 

Combat - Hormagaunt "White Menace" - Hormagaunt has albino coloration (white/blue, not white/red like you'd think, to match real-life arthropod instances of albinism) and highly aggressive tendencies toward other species, even more so than its brethren.

 

Scout - Hormagaunt "Sightless Sound" - Hormagaunt was blinded in some unknown incident, standard Hive Fleet colors; Hormagaunt can echolocate, and is known for stealth tactics as well as swift movement.

TITH I put together my first two intercessors, started painting one of them. So much flat space I can freehand and add bits to.

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I got some work done on my Phobos Libby.

TITHI Painted terrain, lots of terrain

I am really happy with how these came out for my DIY primaris, not SoH . Intercessor Sarge and a regular intercessor test scheme I am happy with.

This will be a slow burn, one box at a time, start to end to a 2k army. After my ETL vow is done, I am working on these for a while. No pile of shame this time!

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I got more work done on my Phobos Libby. Just some details on his pack and the book left to do.
