+++E Tenebrae Lux III - Horus Heresy Strategium+++

[helterskelter]

Cheers squire! To the bits site!

[Telhdrat]

That's an awesome chaplain, poom!

 

I've been preparing for painting or putting together most of my remaining vow:

 

Iron Hands Praetor:

Pyroclasts:

Khârn:

Fulgrim:

And I also just finished the EC Contemptor. The eyes look a little odd in all the pictures I took for some reason but I'm quite happy with him:

Awesome work on the Contemptor. 

 

Question: that seems to be a taller crest on Khârn's helmet. If so, can you provide a close up? 

[Telhdrat]

Sure:

It's simply a Mk IV command sets crest added to his helmet inspired by poom's fantastic Khârn.

[Relict]

That looks much more appropriate than the little stubby thing FW somehow decided to put on him. The Betrayer deserves better... :D

[depthcharge12]

My praetors nearly done (about 90%)

Astute readers will notice a slight greenish tinge to my paragon blade to show that it's real Calibinite steel.

 

 

What's done for my vow:

10 tacticals

Spartan

Praetor(almost)

 

What's left:

10 tacticals

10 terminators

MoS

5 missile guys

3 Jetbikes

7 volkites

 

Terminators are primed and MoS is being painted as we speak, all others are built and need mostly priming on up.

 

Comments and concerns? :P

[Armond]

Well done! Concerns? Boarding party... The only thing I am going to say... ;)

[Captain Semper]

Great progress guys - I see the HH forum is in full speed ahead mode! :)

 

@ Nehekhare: Your vow is in mate - good luck! :tu:

 

@ Tears of the Raven: I got your vow - but it's your 3rd one - not your 5th :confused: Can you clarify?

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Also they are worth 150,000 points so we win....

Sorry my bad, its only the 3rd.

I like. Sometimes, less is more. Definitely fits the Destroyer Cadre's simple but brutal looks.

One piece of constructive criticism - you might want to consider highlighting the edges of the armor plates (as well as the bonding studs on the shoulder pads) with some gunmetal. A little dry brushing with that stuff will give you the worn look. Also, putting small splotches of glue on certain parts of the armor and then sprinkle some sugar/salt on will give you the effect that the Destroyer's armor is being damaged by his own weapons.

=][= SEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE =][=

[Durfast Spiritwolf]

I've been tardy in providing an update. So here we go, figures mostly assembled (just need to attach the breachers' arms once the shields are finished), base coated, and washed. The tactical squad have had the brass and steel highlights, and are awaiting work on the ceramite. The work on the breachers' shields is my concurrent activity.

In the background you'll see Typhon awaiting the final highlight to his armour, as well as the odd bit of finishing work. The completed breacher and deathshroud are there for reference and Morty is my stretchgoal and not yet part of the pledge

This weekend, I plan to make a start on the two Spartans and the Typhon

[Memento Of Prospero]

Squad # 1 complete! you can see the rest of my project with the link to the WIP thread in my signature ;)

[Reyner]

I have my airbrush working so hopefully I will be able to get a lot of my stuff done at the weekend! 500 points there and then the next vow I can fill with vehicles!

[SW1]

I've bargained with the wife to get a couple of solid hours to paint tomorrow. Hopefully break the back if this vow.

 

Lol ... Unless the kids throw a spanner in the works.

[Russ Brother 92]

@Wolf_Pack - really liking those IHs, especially white for the emblem.

And at long last some decent pictures of dear Ferrus;

Hope those shine a better light on him... :D - I will have my pre-paint pics of Vow 2 up tonight (I promise... they're currently sitting on my phone...)

[Memento Of Prospero]

Now THAT'S a Primarch. Girly Fulgrim and Lorgar can go to band camp for all the Iron Tenth cares.

[Russ Brother 92]

Now THAT'S a Primarch. Girly Fulgrim and Lorgar can go to band camp for all the Iron Tenth cares.

Thanks wolf_pack, I will be doing a full diorama (using the Fulgrim & Ferrus combination) on a large oval base with Gorgons fighting Phoenix Guard but not for a while yet - once my current ETL vow is done (allowing for a festival in 2 weeks) in a month I'll start work on my standard bearer (see my thread on this forum) mini diorama :)

[Captain Semper]

Great stuff everybody! Keep going - momentum is important!

 

@ Durfast: Good to see ya! :woot: A good thing you added your reference minis there - I thought you changed your style (and wa a sad panda for a while...) :D

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Phalanx Warder]

Sad to report that I managed to break my Airbrush on Wednesday but I have a replacement in the post so I am at a full stop at the moment

[Nehekhare]

Behold!

After a mere day's work

raised from the ground

I give unto you...
