honeybadger33 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 This evening I got a little base coating and touching up on two termies done and on one I applied some Agrax Earthshade to the recesses. I still havent completed a single model and have a few sets still on sprue. I just cant satisfy myself with my painting yet. I decided Im finishing the termie up this weekend so I can at least post a picture on my blog on here and get some advice on what Im doing wrong and right.

Ovidius Incertus Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I spent the whole night taking pictures of various ETL vow models and organizing them...and still have some left. Probably off to the FLGS tomorrow to buy some Land Speeders or a Skyshield or something.

Charlo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Bought the new WD and the Skitarii codex... And a Mephiston red spray for my pads and helms! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/28/#findComment-4027788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've finished magnetising my Space Hulk termies to 40mm bases (except the two at the back as I ran out of magnets doh!) I'll be painting a unit of these up for the ETL once I finish my Priest... http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Space-Hulk.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/28/#findComment-4028755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovidius Incertus Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Relatively productive day: Primed all of my vow except for the Sternguard and the bottom half of the Fire Raptor (I swear that thing drinks primer!). Built a grav gun biker. Posted my Flesh Tearers log finally.

Charlo Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Just used my new Mephiston red spray on the helms and pads of my BA tag squad, THOROUGLY unimpressed. Followed the instructions and it came out a goopy mess, has ruined all of the details and left a thick and sticky coat. Very sad right now :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/28/#findComment-4029790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Sorry to hear that charlo.

Charlo Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Got them sat in the power spray bath as we speak :P IF I'm honest I've been sat painting the same ten Meltacide Marines for so long I'm getting burnt out! I have a huge pile of sprues and models from pre Skitarii that I'm finding hard to complete :P doesn't help I don't want to use my old models to game because they are no up to scratch!

Xenith Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Strange. Return the spray to the shop? My Meph Red Spray was very thin, and didn't obscure any detail whatsoever!

Charlo Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Going to try it again on some old sprues to see if it was just me goofing, but hopefully not as for my leadbelcher I used exactly the same technique and it was perfect. In other news though currently finished the arms of my eternal Meltacide squads and have done two layers of Mephiston red on the helms. Wash and scarlet time!

Jolemai Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Meanwhile, my first vow involves me having to batch paint my gold technique for the first time and I love the definition the base coat (heavy dry brush of Mithril Silver) gives the model.

The joys of being a lazy perfectionist Why not take a break and paint something new for our ETL challenge? Aye, was probably going to! Potentially a DC squad and some dreads and my raven. What initial state can they be in for the vow? I have some previous paint that needs stripping etc or just undercoat spray.

Jolemai Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Up to the undercoat/primed stage. For what it's worth, if I were to post a starter image with a painted model, I would specify that it will be stripped prior to starting. (Incidentally, I'll be using that disclaimer for my second vow.) If in doubt, PM Semper or failing that, post an image in the stategium for him to judge.

As it's described (and if I understand the rules correctly), then that'll be fine.

Ovidius Incertus Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Pre-shading and first coats done on the characters and vanguards from my vow; Sternguard bases primed. Fire Raptor all primed. Got the two dreads on the bench for priming tonight, because I'll have to take a 5 day hiatus from painting. But, I'm also ordering a new airbrush today! Woot.

Ovidius Incertus Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 ETL proceeding apace. Vanguard and characters are all based coated. Primed both dreads today, pre-shaded and got first coat of red on and got the legs painted metallic. Various bits and pieces of the Sternguard were primed today too. When I get back into town, I'll pre-shade the Raptor and do all the bases en masse, since they're all urban rubble.
