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. 

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...

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!

 

The joys of being a lazy perfectionist

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!

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.

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. Might be best to ask Captain Semper to be 100% sure though :thumbsup:

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. :sad.:

 

But, I'm also ordering a new airbrush today!  Woot.

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.

 

I've just built a Powerfist Scout Sgt out of spare parts.

I'm going to put "love" on his fist now. >_<
