THE END IS NIGH - ONLY A WEEK TO GO!

 

WILL YOU BECOME A HERO OF DARKNESS OR A SPAWN OF CHAOS?

 

 

As we approach the finish line of the event, I have started assigning the titles to those who have already completed their tasks. Hopefully this will serve as an additional motive for those who have yet to complete.

 

Glory awaits you if you please the Gods but if you displease them? Better to not contemplate such a fate! 

 

@ IP: OK, I have updated the first page with the squad. Keep it up mate, your IW are the stuff of legend!

 

@ tdemayo: As usual you make a big entrance! Congratulations on this huge completion! I have no words for that knight...

 

@ Augustus: Seriously man, you need to send your work to GW to showcase in WD! Your work is so impressive... and so 40k! I think you really captured the essence of the Long War in your models. Really top notch stuff...

 

@ daemonclaw: You'd better speed up mate, time is running out... :o

 

@ KrautScientist: This is turning out to be great colour scheme... We need a group pic once this is over! 

 

@ Castellan Cato: Great progress mate, look forward for your completion but don't forget the Nurglings!

 

@ Dragonlover: keep going mate - time is running out and you still have a lot in the pipeline! Looking good so far though! :tu:

 

@ Slave to Darkness: Are you reporting completion on any of the units? Let me know so I can update the first page accordingly. And the bases are up to you. ;)

 

@ Chaos Rising: Well done! A great completion with still a week left. 

 

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE CHECK THE FIRST PAGE AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU THINK SOMETHING IS RECORDER WRONGLY

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Finished my call of Chaos!!

 

Some time ago I posted my Plague Drones and Beast of Nurgle. Now I posted my finish Kairos Fateweaver and the call of chaos complete army:

Without further ado, I declare myself both Lost and Damned!

 

Really annoyed with myself.  Despite best intentions every weekend for the past six weeks, and the bulk of two weeks over Christmas I supposedly had to myself, I've achieved nothing beyond the modelling and undercoating.  Some of the best kitbashing and converting i've been able to produce, which I think will eventually result in some good looking models, but I've just failed to assert and commit properly to this challenge.

Pictures anyway! 

@ mactire: Well, the Templar's won't suffice! You sunk too deep to Heresy - you need to get a a Wolf Great Company done to atone. Dorset worry - what is it? 1,300-1,500 minis? no worries then!

Emperor protect us, surely that should read 130-150 minis ?????????

Hahaha... The Emperor protects! Will 150 minis make you sleep at night? I know they would keep me awake... tongue.png

Ha, only about 8 minis left then thumbsup.gif (plus tranports cry.gif ).

I regret to say that I am Lost and Damned. Recently, real life has been interrupting any progress in the form of a Great Mould Infestatoin centered in my bathroom and spreading into the two adjoining rooms, one of which is where I like to sleep and dream of killing worlds.

 

I did find time to work around this and while I was looking for minis, I realized that I had lost the model for my sorcerer, I had assembled two Raptors which are also missing and my Chaos Lord has decided to impersonate the Black Knight just before he lost his legs.

 

So I couldn't finish even if I wanted to simply because I no longer have the necessary models that I had vowed. I await my penance with regret an shame.

Righty, here we go. I have DONE it. Improvised but done, this year's CoC. My pledge was the following:

 

- Daemon Prince

- 10 CSM
- Spawn

 

Well let's say that I have traded the wargear of the CSM squad for three additional Spawn. My problem being that the new bases have not yet arrived via mail and I have run out of most of my wash colors but I think that I have managed to complete the vow in a satisfactory manner.

 

The base models.

Well here is how the above turned out after several sessions of painting.

So this is this for this CoC. A few notes. I have started from the basecoat of Macgragge Blue since I have set up to test several blue schemes. Well I begun to build up color for a Thousand Suns "enchanted blue" but after I have used a second layer of the blue after I have applied the brass it screamed to me "Night Lords" so there and then I worked the models to resemble Night Lords. I have used Pink Horror as a spot color (the carmine tone works well with the dark blue) and I went after a grey-ish tabard and cloth color with Celestra Grey. The weapons are painted with the classic Leadbelcher color.

 

Daemon Prince. Problem. I have run out of washes so I have left the model with the base colors. The next logical step is Ogryn Flesh with then a highlight of Cadian Flesh for the skin tone as well as Agrax Earthshade for the armor color. Sadly it looks like the jaws and horns are unfinished but this is the classic spot when you need a wash in the recesses. Rather then messing with improvisation I left it until my plastic crack provider restocks and I can rob him of Citadel Washes. 

 

The Spawn. Ahh the grudge. I have tried to use the pallid flesh scheme from WD (the dark eldar one) which follows Rakarth Flesh, Druchii Violet, Rakarth Flesh, Pallid Wynch Flesh. I did as the guide suggested. It came out as a mess IMO. Too big of a surface, to much flesh for such a bold scheme. I reckon that if I had done the classic flesh color (Bugman and then on) the result would be much better. But hey that is what CoC is about, to test, to experience, to build, to practice. 

 

Of the three the Spawn will probably go into paint stripping as for the Daemon Prince, I can't wait for the washes to arrive so I can finish him. 

 

The bases are Mechanicus Standard Grey + Armageddon Steel Drab for the border. Eagerly waiting for the Imperial Sector basing kit to arrive.

Well done mate, good work!

 

That scheme DOES work, but I skip the second Rakarth Flesh stage, and occasionally wash it subtly with Druchii Violet after the Pallid Wych Flesh step. I'd recommend you do that next time - comes out really nicely then!

Another vow down! Three Rhinos painted, now it's just 30 close combat Cultists to go. I've got almost exactly a week. Should be fine, right?

Edit: Godsdammit, just found shooty Cultist number 30. He'd been hiding among his more aggressive brethren.

 

Here is said Cultist:

THE END IS NIGH - ONLY 5 DAYS TO GO!

 

GET YOUR VOWS COMPLETED SOON 

OR DO YOU THINK PAPA NURGLE WILL FORGIVE AND FORGET?

 

 

Well, we are at the last weekend of this year's Call of Chaos - make it count! A lot of you have managed to keep your oaths to the Dark Gods but a lot of you have yet to do so. Wrap it up guys, the clock is ticking and the Gods thirst!

 

 

@ Forte: I swear the Gods don't know what to do with your case anymore... Spawn does not seem punishment enough! I'll have Nurgle's people talk to Slaanesh people to decide on your fate... Maybe a spawn on a stasis field? Dunno...

 

@ Teku: Congratulations mate! :tu: A worthy completion and is recorded in the first page. The Glory of Chaos is all yours!

 

@ Plasmaspam: Well, you are a spawn now but it only proves you're a loyal Son of the Lion!

 

@ mactire: You really need to get a picture of this mega-collection of yours! ;)

 

@ Kol: I wouldn't worry about failing the CoC - Nurgle has shown his favour to you, you literally live in Nurgle's Garden. Some people have all the luck.

 

@ Tenebris: Well done on your completion! A true servant of the Eye you are... Now wait for the full Glory of Chaos to engulf you!

 

@ Dragonlover: Keep going - you have already invested too much to let go now!

 

So wrap it up everybody, time is almost up!

I recomend that as pennance, he has to paint individual Nurglings with at least 3 layers of colour until he's very very sorry!

3 layers. That's a base coat. Last one I did was 8 layers and about 5 washes.

Just a Terminators Champion, Lord & Dark Apostle left.  Obliterators just been varnish & will be fully painted in the next few hours.
