Liberame Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 So I just made a huge vow for the ETL II to kick my butt into gear and whip out my paintbrush. I have a seriously bad habit of buying things and then never doing anything with it. Last time I did a vow (black templars) was many years ago but it compelled me to finish something, so why not be grandiose? This is my vow I Liberame answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 3x 6man Ravenwing Attack Squadron w2 Meltaguns and Multi Melta Attack Bike 2x 3man Ravenwing Attack Squadron w/2 Meltaguns and Multi Melta Attack Bike 1x 3man Ravenwing Attack Squadron w/ Multi Melta Attack Bike 1x 5man Ravenwing Command Squad w/ Champion, Apothecary, Standard of Devastation Sammael Librarian on space marine bike w/ Auspex and Power Field Generator Interrogator Chaplain on space marine bike w/ Mace of Redemption from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 1933 on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to 1st Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end And this is just the beginning. 3 months is a long time...

Isiah Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Amazing bike-themed force there. Looks like a lot of work ahead of you. Best of luck with it. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well I finished the grey lining on 6 of my bikes and I came to the realization that I no longer have the fine motor control to paint the eyes of the bikers without messing up the grey highlights... so gonna paint all the eyes first. I'm also not sure if I want to do 2 highlights or just stick with the single german grey for simplicity sake. Not sure how complex on the eyes I want to go..

Liberame Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Sorry I haven't kept this up to date, been doing a lot of volunteer work in Moore after the tornado hit. Here are a couple of update pics for when I did have time to paint. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0441.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0443.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 That will be a great force once you are all done - carry on the good work. Although I think a trip to Cell 42 may be in order as I noticed some Xenos frisbees and an XV88 in one of your photos (post 4) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isiah Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 That's a lot of bald heads :) to wash all at once - don't think anyone's taken to the factory painting approach to the scale that you are ... looking good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks, I'm currently working on the HQ section of my vow, only the silver and white/feather parts are getting washed. The skin is actually done, just cant see cause I have a crappy phone and suck at takin pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Master Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Wow, you have the full RW Compagny !!! Well in a codex chapter, remember unlisted number of bike squads. We're legion strength! Nicely done on the Ravenwing! Will have to get my brushes started again. DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 update, but no pictures this time sorry. Command squad/chaplain/librarian are essentially done, just need an oil wash when I do the rest of the army. However I'm not going to paint the plasma talons until after the oil wash since I'll do it via airbrush. I would like some opinions from others though, I am thinking of airbrushing the headlight beams similar to how the guy from den of imagination http://www.denofimagination.com.pl/2013/03/ravenwing-bikes.html Not sure if I totally like the effect, it would add an element to the bikes but I'm afraid it would be easy to mess up and ruin the bikes. And since I have like 40 of them... the chance of messing up at least once is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvena Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 noooooo, avoid it to keep it short, it can look goods but it depend on what people likes. So do you really like this effect ? If so, first practice it on some bits, otherwise it won't look good, and you might end up disapointed. imho, i'm not a huge fan of "big osl beam" Eggroll on warseer/Dakka made a more subbtle osl wich imho looks better: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/450/313003.page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I planned on using eggrolls style for my plasma talons and you're right, I don't really like the effect enough to warrant doing it on all my bikers. I'll probably just do a small dot of light blue on the headlight itself at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 So close I can smell it. All the hand brushing is done for my bikers except for sammael. All I need to do now is mount the front fins, do the oil wash, and some minor airbrush work (power weapons and plasma coils). http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0461.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0462.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0463.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0464.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0465.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0466.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0467.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Liberame, they look great and that is a horde of bikers to get done in that short a time! They have smooth, clear colors, and I really like your Librarian and Chaplain conversions, even the Force Bat. :D I do think that you need to hit all that metal with a wash to give some depth to all of it, but the highlighting you have done looks awesome, very clean! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for the critique Bryan, I am actually in the process of washing them all now. Hope to have a picture update by tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yep I concur on the Chappy and Libby models - very nice indeed. Can we see a bit more of the RW standard bearer too please - he's being a bit shy there in the corner of the box (unless I've missed a previous pic of him). Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Vow complete! I finished all the washing and touching up. I didnt do the plasma glow after all as I couldn't get it to look right and was tired of fixing my mistakes. Here is a close up of my standard bearer http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0469.jpg My Librarian Chaplain and Sammael all together http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0470.jpg My command Squad http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0468.jpg My 3 6 man squads with attackbikes http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0471.jpg My 3 3man squads with attackbikes http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0473.jpg And a couple of group shots. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0474.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0475.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
