Heres a quick update of this evenings progress

Ive got all the main areas block coloured and washed. 

Ive concentrated on the face to start with. Still a fair bit of highlighting to do there

[WarriorFish]

Excellent quality as always, and speed too :tu:

[UltraRich]

The airbrush helps

I can lay down the base flesh and legs in one go and then pick out the dark green with a brush.

 

A wash then does wonders for it.

[WarriorFish]

Yeah, the Ogryns are good for washes on the flesh - good surface area and contours it's what I did for my Nork :)

[UltraRich]

Norks coming along

Ive finished the armour, legs and highlighted his face

 

Onto the arms and base next so hopefully done by the weekend

Lovely colours, he's going to look great when finished :)

[UltraRich]

Quick update

 

Norks got a gun that just needs a bit more highlighting

I also got some of the Pig Iron backpacks and Ive got to say they look good. 

I saw on Facebook that Anvil have a set of pouches about to drop so expect those to appear soon too!

The base looks cool, Nork is coming along wonderfully - like the extra bits on your troopers too :)

[our_baz]

Awesome Nork. It's giving me an itch to buy more ogryns.....wife might kill me tho. Whats your recipe on the skin?

Thanks

They are fun to paint. Ive done half a tutorial on skin but basically its paint flesh then shade with purple and brown then work up to white/flesh highlights

[UltraRich]

Evening guys

Im just thinking vow 2. 

Whats the point value of Lord Castellan Creed?

[our_baz]

80pts

[UltraRich]

80pts

 

Thanks

I might cobble together a small squad and then get a points count off you guys. 

Its either that or a russ or 3 heavy weapons or 2 sentinals!

You've got five vows you can make, so you have a lot of leeway in how you get your models in - looking forward to seeing them whichever comes first :D

[UltraRich]

Just bought a knight paladin too..... maybe a small vow then the knight.

 

What colour to paint it to match in an ig force? Ive seen a nice green and yellow one

[WarriorFish]

I think Knights are very different both in style and size, so you can get away with any colours you like :P But if you're looking to match, one or two colours from the Guard force should do it then you can supplement them with colours to make a more "heraldic" look :)

[UltraRich]

Norks done

[UltraRich]

Just a quick update 

 

ETL Vow 2 is complete. Creeds now done 

 

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6507_zpswzykjv3a.jpg

 

For Vow 3 Im building a knight with a complete interior and pilot.

I'll do the build on this thread so its not clogging the etl thread.

 

Ive a few bits inbound so for the moment Im on mold line duty

[WarriorFish]

Are you planning on magnetising more than just the carapace? I found it could easily click on and off thanks to the way the pieces have been made.

Not on the arms. This is display only

What I am thinking of doing is taking the exhaust stacks and cutting them in half so the exhaust comes off with the carapace rather than having to thread it through each time. The joint would be under the hood so you wouldnt see it once installed. 

 

 I'll blog my progress (and mistakes!)

Sounds cool, can't go wrong with a good WIP for a project so I'll be following your progress closely (not that I don't anyway :P )!

[UltraRich]

Im still waiting for the interior bits to come so Ive made a start on the base

Im going to raise the back of it with cork when I get to my local hobby shop this weekend and have the front two toes curled over to show interaction with the base

 

I thought it would be funny to have the sergeant looking up shouting at the knight as it towers over him. 

I might leave both minis on the base or remove them. It depends how cluttered it looks.

 

Ive also picked a knight colour scheme..... its a hard colour to paint!

[WarriorFish]

What about having the soldiers removable? Looks like a good pose, as for the hard colour - I've never seen a tartan Knight before so I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks ;)
