Casual 30k Hobby Challange. Month 2

Debating on if I shoud paint any laures purple for contrast or green. For the chest symbols on my Tempar from the IF chests I'm wondering if I should also do the raptor imperialis in purple or leave it black and just give it dark grey highlights like I will be doing with anything that remains black. The legion symbols on those chest I'm still up for debate on whether I leave them gold or render them in black...

Hm, i would go with green laurels and black raptors, something like that:

@Kor'vesh: Loyalist's bane sounds awesome :P i hope we get some more traitors here until my Death Guard is finished xD

 

@Fire Golem: can't wait to see the finished sons of horus! 

 

@Reyner: pics, pics, we need some pics =)

 

@Brother Vidius: very nice, love the eye of horus emblem on the shield 

 

 

 

My Hunter-Alpha is now finished, and the Vindicator more or less too (just need to paint his havoc launcher)

Thanks Atia, might just leave it black after all. The only reason I contemplated purple / red was because of this kitbash of Alexis Polux by Forgeworld from a while back:

And yeah, Laurels are probably best in Green :p

The final progress in week 3 came from the brush of Castiel, who despite smashing his painting lamp when doubting Vulkan’s survival, managed to add another completed breacher to his squad.

 

 

Vulkan Lives!

 

I have confirmation that I will get my hands on an airbrush on Monday, so I expect my pledge to be completed on time.

Yeah i saw that pic too, not sure if i like that, i would go for a crimson fist purple instead, and paint his fist crimson, not his breast (or was he called the crimson nipple biggrin.png)

Off-topic: how can i merge a link and its description for my signature?

Brilliant work as always Atia! Putting me to shame blush.png The weathering is superb! I'll need to try some out on my vehicles

Holy hell, two tanks on one day?!

Excellent work as always.

thanks.gif I painted them in synch, last piece was the missile launcher (so the vindicator took a bit longer)

I should have a Contemptor to add to my pledge as well. I have five days off this week.

In fact - Contemptor is far closer to being done than my breachers are. Those shields man. I have to go through so much work to make special decals and unique ornamentation for each one. It's going to be a serious labor of love here.

Yeah, I'm gonna swap my pledge. I got my second order from FW in today, (wasn't expecting that, awesome!) I need more time to get each shield personalized and unique to show the trial that each breacher salamander went through to earn their place. I'm gonna get a 9ish man unit of Firedrakes in place of the 5 breachers I was gonna do. I just don't have the materials to rig up the shields right, and I don't think I'll get them in time to make the pledge. I'll get a Firedrake Praetor in place of the 10th, I've already got a few things set up for that one, and call that a show.

Edit, I noticed the band at the feet was untouched after taking the pictures and fixed it. Critically inspecting your work for presentation helps fix a lot of issues! Also phone's flash died so a lot of the details were able to be hidden by shadows.

@Atia - exceptional work as always! That's 32 points you've won - lets just hope the loyalists can beat that all put together !

 

@frozenfoods - nice work on the contemptor. Remember you can swap pledges for units worth the same score or more, so 2 points per terminator, 1 per breacher.

 

@slipstreams - great to hear you have painting time! We can still win... But I agree with Atia, the purple looks a bit weird in that picture. Green and black for me too.

 

@barabbas.... Is that a new pledge I see?

 

Ok... I have a paint brush in hand, and 15mins till I have to leave for work... Green painting time...

Another quick update, managed to finish the next 4 members of my squad. Just need some squad markings and the bases drybrushed.

And a couple of group shots:

Hopefully finish the last 3 members of the squad today and make a start on my Myrmidons. I doubt the heavy support squad will be finished in time, I need to give the ammo feeds the hairdryer treatment sad.png

Thanks Reyner! I'm happy with how the shields have turned out. I do love the IVth legion but I don't like painting hazard stripes! 

 

I've just based my Myrmidons and they are drying just now, hopefully get them primed later on tonight and make a start on them!

So I'm in a good news bad news place so far.

The good news is I have a new (or rather old) painting lamp I grabbed from my parents house, so I can start painting.

The bad news is that the painting night that I was going to borrow an airbrush at was cancelled tonight, so I now have to paint my 7 remaining breachers and the praetor all by hand for Friday, fortunately I don't have to go to uni on Wednesday or Thursday, so hopefully I can do them then.

Of course give time is short I naturally procrastinated and built my Firedrake Terminators rather than painting! tongue.png
