Master Omega Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So, after my work schedule got changed around a lot and I got bad news laid on me I decided I needed some mental downtime and finished prep work for my vow: http://imageshack.us/a/img811/5453/3yf0.jpg So here are three 10 women BS squads with heavy flamer and flamer and a 6 women Dominion squad with 2 meltaguns. In the back are two Rhinos, an Immolator and two FW Exorcist launchers, dry-fitted together. The bases are the work of a company named Base-X-of-War ( http://www.base-x-of-war.com/index.html ) which are awesome. I basically got bases for all my army and a few spares for under 50€ and the quality is stellar. Perfect molds, no flaws except for some 1/2cm bubbles on the bottom of the bases but who cares for those. I could use them straight out of the bag without any cleanup work except for giving them a quick soak in soapy water. If their other products are even 2/3 of the quality I can heartily recommend them. And being able to base a whole squad for about 6€ is also a plus compared to similar products of the competition. http://imageshack.us/a/img521/5614/jz4m.jpg And here we have the rest of the vow: one sealed Rhino and two sealed Immolators that will be the basis for the Exorcists. Hopefully I can get them all primed today while the weather lasts; forecast doesn't look good... Will most likely update as soon as I got the first layer of paint on them which may or may not happen tomorrow - Omega Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277057-order-of-the-frozen-heart-etl2-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Omega Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well, guess what? Things didn't work out as planned/hoped. Literally minutes after my first post, while I was gathering everything for priming outside, the heavens opened their flood gates and it has been raining nearly constantly since then. Only time we had no rain was when I was at work or asleep (go figure...). This morning was the first day we had no rain when I was off and awake so I grabbed the chance by the balls and primed as much as I could. Basically everything from the first pic is primed now (black) and I am currently drybrushing everything with a dark grey. The three sealed Rhino chassi are not primed yet but rain was approaching and I am hoping for another moment of dry weather so I can avoid spray painting in the basement. Bases will be primed with a brush on primer since the colors I have in mind for them are not suited for a black primer. Images of progress will most likely follow some time near the end of the coming week.

WarriorFish Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 That's rubbish, I know how that feels. The weather is fantastic here so I'm making the most of it, which makes a nice change! I hope to see your progress soon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277057-order-of-the-frozen-heart-etl2-wip/#findComment-3408156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigrid Of Asgaror Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well I am glad to hear some progress has been made.

Master Omega Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 A quick update before I got to go to work: Everything that was primed is now drybrushed a dark grey color and I started with the first layers of white. For someone who used to use color straight from the pot without thinning this new technique of thin layers is quite a challenge I have to say but I think it will turn out well in the end if I can keep it up. A quick question though: does anyone have the link to a guide how to paint crystal formations? I have an idea how to go about it but my trials were less than satisfactory. Thanks in advance.

Master Omega Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Well.... it has finally come to this: I have to concede defeat in this year's E Tenebrae Lux and thus declare my vow failed. After being unexpectedly lain off at the start of July most of my time has been focused on finding a new job and after succeeding there moving to another country for work. With only five days left to fulfill the vow, only having the foot soldiers with more than a layer of drybrushing and only one more off day till the deadline I see no way of fulfilling my vow. It really pains me to admit this since I was looking forward to see my models finally painted in a unified color but that is how things are. - Omega Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277057-order-of-the-frozen-heart-etl2-wip/#findComment-3416945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 This is bad news, but you gave it a good shot considering the circumstances so well done Omega. Good luck with your new job! I look forward to seeing you completing your models, hopefully soon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277057-order-of-the-frozen-heart-etl2-wip/#findComment-3417267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
