BitsHammer Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I found an example of the look I've been trying to nail...and am spending my time switching between being excited for the Marine update and staring at it in an attempt to learn from it.

RikuEru Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 TITH I actually got back into painting (after my vacation and a day of slacking yesterday) and did this Banner Bearer Bryan Blaire, Zephaniah Adriyen and BitsHammer 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrus Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've been sick for a couple weeks and couldn't work s oo I've been painting terrain. So The Other Day In The Hobby, I finished my first ever table. https://i.imgur.com/gUJnVb1.jpg Red_Shift and BitsHammer 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 TITHI managed to get all the iron metallics base coated on my first five Wolf Primaris - even happier seeing the coming Damage increase on their Stalker bolt rifles. Hopefully the gold and leather all get done tomorrow. BitsHammer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 TITHI... primed a box worth of necromunda barricades. Did a tiny bit of work on Alpharius (not mine, but i am painting him) Did a tiny it of work on one of the last 2 models for my ETL-VII vow. Started making repairs to a second hand Ork Deffdread.

Vykes Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 TITH I managed to get home from the farm (okay, from the bigger farm to the regular farm) and actually managed to put together a praetor and 25 astartes for my next ETL vow. And trying to figure out what a dedicated void-trooper regiment would have for backup. Tanks feel preeeeetty wonky. Which is enough before being forced back out to the big farm again.* *Yeah gets confusing too, but it's better than admitting I live in a county where I just happened to get stuck in two fantasy name-esque locations: Crystal Lake and Glory Hills. .

Gederas Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) TITH I didn't get much done aside from priming my Hellforged Contemptor Dreadnought for my World Eaters. Also did a game in the AoS Narrative campaign I'm in (I lost, but I surprised my opponent by gibbing his General in his own Deployment Zone ) and tried to get a game in the 40k narrative campaign. Sadly, no one showed up for that.

Interesting.... Just make sure you stay out of any camps in the former on a Friday that's the 13th of the month.

Vykes Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Tell me about it, Gederas :P As an equally odd note, the sub-division just up the road has familiar name and a big sign saying, "Welcome to Hill Valley." and I can't help but whistle 'Back in Time' when it whizzes past me on my drive to the highway. Glad to hear about the AoS narrative side too (I'm gonna be starting that sometime) buuut too bad about 40K narrative (I'm also gonna be starting that... yeah). Oh, also TITH, I read all the new releases for the Codex: Space Marines... as a predominantly Chaos player I keep wanting to cover up my anger by saying, "Just you wait till Horus comes back, then you'll see. Then you'll ALLLL SEEEE!!" and trying not to get all pouty lipped because I refuse to use gribbly daemon toys or tournament style combinations, but go all legion. Paraphrasing the great captain Aximand, 'We're outnumbered and outgunned, but when has that ever mattered?' Gederas 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paraphrasing the great captain Aximand, 'We're outnumbered and outgunned, but when has that ever mattered?' Yeah, it was fun. Would have gone better if I could have gotten any of my casts or important rolls to actually go off (other than the ones that allowed the Mourngul to maul his general by getting a 10" charge on dice (5 and a 6) and if you anything about Nighthaunt, you know what that means). But then again, I always seem to roll TERRIBLY every time I'm learning new army Speaking of the 40k Narrative campaign, I managed to talk my way out of playing Primaris for the campaign (one of the people who was playing Primaris in it got into a car accident, so he's out of commission for the campaign for a bit) by pointing out this: I play Dark Angels, and if I'm using Primaris, that means Hellblasters. You do NOT want Hellblasters, especially Dark Angels Hellblasters, in a 1000 point Zone Mortalis campaign Also regarding the Codex: Space Marines stuff: Trust me, as a Chaos (World Eaters, Night Lords) and Dark Angels/Deathwatch player, I feel you. Seeing the new stuff just enrages me. Yeah, my Dark Angels get all the cool new stuff, but good lord, some of the stuff we don't get.... Grumble, grumble.

Brother Casman Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Folks, remember that we're on a 40k board - we're not here to discuss AoS (fun as it may be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Sebas Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 TITH I made some more progress on my baby knights :D (i call them my worker bee knights) Legs + main body are done, the plates are all airbrushed. Now the only thing left for my ETL vow is the weapons and detailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Did a little test for shading yellow and mamaged something I like. The shadows are still yellow while it builds up fairly strongly. Still a bit more refinement on technique and the shape of the highlight so everything clicks properly, but at least the color issue is finally sorted.

Vykes Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) If we're gonna be so militant on mentioning 'that game' in passing conversation, why don't we just put it on the swear filter already? TITH, still trying to figure out void-trooper support options. Elysians have buggies (which don't feel like they fit), Tanks don't feel like they fit either, I'm wondering if Rapiers and Sentinels might be a decent choice. There's a surprisingly little amount of helpful referential material even outside the hobby that can be used as reference inside it. At least, material that isn't giant flying space mecha. Post Scriptum: Turns out I went a little all out today in my farm-break after all. Put together 20 line troopers, magnetized the weapons on a javelin, put together 7 veterans and kitted them out and added the last plasma gun to my void-clade platoon. Tomorrow in the Hobby I hope to have them all pinned and put on cork so I can prime them and enter the next vow with a healthy 100-ish strong vow.

RikuEru Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 TITHI finished the Twins ane maybe get to progress on the other 3 HQs remaining in my ETL Vow too. Capes are... subpar. I had hoped for a better effect of the contrast paint. BitsHammer, Vykes and mel_danes 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 More helmet tests as I use a prime job gone bad to try some stuff out (I'm just going to use the bare head instead on the model). I feel like I might need more layers of highlights building to a stronger yellow but at least the NMM looks pretty decent. On a related note, using a phone to take pictures of just a model's head is a massive pain in the rear. Vykes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 After finishing that previous helmey I felt the contrast could be stronger so I grabbed another spare head and took a crack at it: Next up will be to try this over a full model and see how it looks.

thewarriorhunter Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 TITH I painted for a bit, which felt good. My arm is healing but I was only able to paint for about 30 minutes before I had to call it from discomfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Decided to bit the bullet and just do a whole mini. Here's where I got in the two hours before work: Zephaniah Adriyen and Vykes 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Today I got flattened by Imperial Guard. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to crank out my second vow before Week 10 of ETL comes to a close, but I'll probably have the time next week.

robofish7591 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Today in the hobby I built a single tactical marine! ...I also came to the realization that I won't be able to pick up the new codex any time soon as I'll be returning to college next month and money is going to be tight! Looks like it will be poor-hammer for me for the next four years Zephaniah Adriyen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 TITH I got schooled on color theory on Facebook and spent time second guessing my whole planned Legion project.

BitsHammer Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Well painting hasn't been going well, and I can't find most of the servo skulls in the game.

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.
