@ Armond Whoa, I really like the pose of that NL. Mind telling me what helmet you used? It looks... sinister.

No problem, I used this one as I seem to have 3 of them floating around:

@ Armond: Lovely people those NLs... The sort you wish you had for neighbors... NOT!

I try!

We all do ;)

@ Armond: Lovely people those NLs... The sort you wish you had for neighbors... NOT!

Oh you know you would rejoice if I lived adjacent to you! hahaha

[chaplain mortis]

@Reyner...your so right! Gah! I have left flash on all those shoulderpads like that..lol I thought they were meant to look like that haha..im just gonna play it off as reinforced shoulderpads haha..as for the silver,

I use two different methods...for the backpacks, elbows, knees and toes (knees and toes)..I use boltgun metal..washed heavy with nuln oil then sponged with chainmail..

For the face plates shoulderpads and trim I use a 50/50 mix of bgun metal and chainmail..wash with nuln oil then just rivets and extreme edges picked out in chainmail..hope that helps and cheers for commenting.

 

@Raass...what a great comment from you! Cheers mate...if it helps, I cant paint Nightlords..I find the lightning and terror masks to frustrating. .lol they end up looking like they belong in TRON haha..hope your vows are going well mate.

 

@Demon..thanks for your comment, hope work on your Xth is still progressing??

 

@Capt Semper..thank you once again for your replies..and you are so right about black armour and it being a dull colour..I have found the iron armour to be a great help in this thanks to all the metal trim on it..and a bit of weathering powder goes a long way!..also im a very lazy painter..or to be more correct I dont actually like painting lol..so using weathering really helps speed things along..

 

Talking of which..a further 3 finished..will spread the next 5 out over the week as I want to fit another contemptor in aswell (and my eyes are hurting lol)

So I've been super busy with life lately but was able to start painting again. Here's what I've started:

[Captain Semper]

Great to see progress guys - the HH is really on increasing momentum here!

 

I will be updating once more today before the World Cup final so let's see if there will be any completions by then... ;)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Armond]

i wish, my kids just totally acted like a pair of fools, which is not normal for them.  So I had a different level of parenting to do with them...  So I only got the basecoat blue on the 8-man Terror Squad and highlighting on just three of them...  Will see if I can knock them out tomorrow!

[Passeltov]

Small update, havn't done much, i just finished the count as tarantulas and started to paint the typhon( which is the worst vehicle i have ever assembled. Every part was bend, strong mold lines and the left half is not fully fleshed out. Took me over a week to build it)

Still 3 predator Tanks to paint...

[chaplain mortis]

Excellent work there Passeltov..sorry to hear about the trouble you have had with the typhon, if it helps...from the picture you cant tell there are any defects..

Great weathering on all the models and cant wait to see the predators!

Keep it up

[Durfast Spiritwolf]

By special request, more photos of the sergeant:

[KJB]

Very nice there Durfast!

[Captain Semper]

@ Passeltov: Hey, this is very impressive stuff! I'm sorry to hear about the Typhon, I'm really concerned personally with getting involved with super-heavies as I'm scared with assembly...

 

@ Durfast: that's inspirational stuff mate! A true sergeant of the DG done in your signature style! The scythe rocks! :tu:

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Quick question Cap. Am I able to amend my vow at all? Turns out the stuff I was waiting for from ebay never existed in the first place but Paypal are playing hardball with actually refunding my money so sadly a good 250 points of said vow won't be appearing

[hisdudeness]

AFter way too long of not painting these two, my first vow is complete!!  Still need to datail up the banner but they are table ready!!

They are epic!

Edit: It really makes me wanna try and accomplish a similar feat for some ultramarines, but I doubt I have the skill.

[The Or]

Captain Semper, is it okay if I switch out my sergeants lightning claw for a power fist? There's no point difference, just aesthetically.

[Captain Semper]

Yeap, go for it!

[Captain Semper]

@ Kizzdoughs: No words... I'm standing in awe here... Best ECs I've ever seen...

@ Hisdudeness: I think a group picture is in order (just edit the post above as I have already linked it in the first page). I think you missed the pic with 7 more termies no? Or did I miss it?

Sorry to hear that mate...

I understand your frustration and the fact that's out of your hands and through no fault of your own - so I'll make a small deviation from the rules and allow you to substitute the 250pts with another unit(s) of equivalent value. If you cannot find a substitute 250pts from your stash (I understand you already lost money on this transaction) then given the circumstances I'll accept the lowering of the vow by 250.

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Seriously nice peacocks you have there..the kind of work that makes me want to snap my paintbrushes haha...

Well done on them, very impressive

[hisdudeness]

Vow #5 complete!  I dun did it!

 

 

and a shot of my favorite one of the bunch, you can check my WIP thread for individual shots of all of them.

 

[Captain Semper]

@ Hisdudeness: Great! Well done mate - and the bonus items are a nice touch of class...

@ Armond: Wow! 5 vows! That is an achievement in itself - more so when done in this quality!

You guys are very close to the BTs right now - less than 3kpts to be exact! This is going to be interesting...

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Armond]

Thanks a ton! It was an awesome endeavor, and kudos to you for putting it all together! Maybe next year I will have something to contribute again!

Thanks mate, really appreciate it.

However....I've woken up this morning to see paypal have offered me a full refund on everything so the game is back on. Now let's hope FW get this stuff out to me by the weekend.....
