Antarius Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (I've included my pledge and my initial pics) I, Antarius of the Word Bearers hereby pledge to paint the following miniatures for the glory of the dark gods by August 15. or wear the mark of shame. http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0354_zpsd5592c74.jpg 10 Plaguebearers of Nurgle, with Icon and Instrument of Chaos.

If all goes well I'll add in some more stuff over the summer, but this should keep me occupied for now. All glory to the hypno-toad, erh, the Dark Gods!

Son of Carnelian Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That's a lot of marines, but I'm sure you can do it! What will the Heldrake be painted as? Night Lords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'm thinking either Iron Warriors or maybe just some "general evil" colour scheme. I have three factions in my army (well more like three whole armies, really) and it tends to feature no matter which Legions I field. I'll start on some of the marines tonight, gods willing.

Antarius Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Got some lightning done on the Night Lords chosen yesterday. Tonight I'll hopefully finish them off and get started on some Word Bearers as well. The characters are proceeding slowly as well. I do hope I can keep it up, as I would dearly like to finish my vow (ahead of time, if at all possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Nice progress on your ETL vow! I love chaos terminators painted in the IWs colours, it suits the minis perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the characters :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 nice looking terminators, very brutal looking, some close ups to get a better idea of the paint job would be cool though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Night Lords chosen are done (for now at least). I can't get a good pic (their shoulder pads, in particular look MUCH better irl), so here's a few lousy ones: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0376_zpsfd2248ed.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0377_zps9654306e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Got a slightly better pic of the Night Lords, as well as some wip of the characters and an obliterator (for some reason I absolutely hate painting Obliterators). Still not the best pics, but I hope they give an impression of where I'm going with this: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0381_zps950ed3a1.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0380_zpsef722ec8.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0379_zps33393f3e.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0378_zpse901f50a.jpg That's all for now, but I'm hoping to finish up the Oblits later today. Maybe get started on some Word Bearers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well, I got the flesh on all three Oblits done, but no more. For some reason I really dislike painting those guys, so I'll do it in stages, I guess. Then I decided I'd start on some Word Bearers but Chaos is fickle! I ended up all but completing my plaguebearers instead: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0382_zps5f2faf5c.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0383_zps0339b9a4.jpg Theses guys are an attempt at wash-painting, so basically everything but their swords are just different solutions of different washes and water. I think it works pretty well and I may consider doing all my Daemons that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Today was a slow day. Got the brass trim on the oblits done, did some detail work on the Plague Bearers (they're pretty much tabletop ready now) and poured some washes on the spawn. I'd hoped to get more done, but slow and steady wins the race (hopefully) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0386_zps1cd24eac.jpgClearly, this one's stability outside the Warp is tenuous at best... Some very nice stuff here. The primed bugs in the first post got a very immature chortle out of me before I realized they were propped up on their backs. It looked like they were all in very inappropriate poses at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Heh, that's great. I gotta say I hadn't noticed that (the thing with the dirty poses) at all but now I can't unsee it! (Better get them on their bases soon!). The extreme close-up of the oblit is a bit of an in-joke with a friend who keeps saying I should get closer to the mins while snapping pictures. And yes, I suppose I am a madman :) Thanks a lot for the replies, even though I know the pics aren't great I really appreciate the feedback. It really helps keeping me motivated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/photo_zpsc238bc5f.jpg Spawn done! http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/photo-1_zpsbbfb0c25.jpg Helldrake started. Probably a lot to go still. I'm considering green as my main detail colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 A few pics of my 10 man WB squad. It's not quite complete, but it's getting there (missing eyes and a bit of detail work on the champ and banner): http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0394_zpsb72b1124.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/Bumkarl/IMG_0393_zps187d0b92.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Argh! After a great start I'm dangerously close to crashing (and presumably burning). It turns out painting regular/semi-regular CSM is really boring. So I find myself severely tempted to go off on other modelling/painting projects. Gah.

Antarius Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well, that's the Berzerkers and the Helldrake for now :) The Plague Drones are pretty close to completion too. After that I suppose I'll get started on five Night Lords Warp Talons, just to paint something other than WB for a while :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well painted WBs just noticed the Alice Cooper cup Thanks! My pupils liked the cup as well when I brought it to school the other day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
