+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Realm of Chaos Strategium+++


Recommended Posts

I'm here I'm here lol. Very busy. Very busy must paint. I got all the guard tanks done Tuesday and yesterday for the silver done on all the walkers and the skin on belakor. Did the first layer of gold too. Only thing left is finish the gold and add red then done. Should probably post that before picture also

 

 

Is Steve back? He's a bit completion to wait on!

 

Still painting casually myself - all good! Keep it up everyone.

It's scary, but basically Chaos can literally win or lose based on whether he posts his final picture in time!

No pressure right? Lol I'll be done tonight so that shouldn't be an issue

Haha, none at all mate. Good stuff!

Another slow evening.

 

Bloodletters nearly done, just need to do eyes, tongues, teeth and highlights for the horns and claws.

 

Berserkers still need highlights and skulls still.

 

Still have the whole evening tomorrow while the wife is out. No worries about finishing. Going to finish the letters tonight.

I had two 1250 games tonight, with my buddy Ruben. We both tried out/pitted CSM army against each other. He won both times, though both games were very close and had skewed luck on both sides, so we agreed that it might have gone either way. There's a 1250 pts tournament going on at my loval GW, of 1250 pts, next Sunday (Kurama, you're in for a treat). We both needed to practice.

 

Erm... My point is this: Ive enjoyed the fruits of both 40k and those of my home town. Which means I have not been painting nine screamers of tzeentch like I shuld have. Tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow,

Marn, the Rustmad, the Blind Prophet of Decay

Marn was of the line of the Iron Hands, though none now can say precisely when or where his fall occurred. The nature of his fall, however, is far better known, to those who dare listen to his ravings. When cleansing a world of the cult of the Green Spiral, Marn was severely injured in the final battles. Both of his eyes had to be replaced with bionics. However, Marn noticed after a few months that a layer of tarnish began to cloud them, no matter how long or hard he scrubbed, he could do little but slow their decay. Eventually they began to give faulty readings. Accordingly he had them replaced, hoping that something wrong with their construction had caused all of his problems.

He was wrong. Days after their replacement, not only did they tarnish, but so too began the rest of Marn’s bionic replacements. He took to wearing robes at all times to cover his rapidly increasing deterioration, abandoning any hope of keeping himself clean. Still, his ability to fight seemed undiminished, and Marn’s brothers tolerated his deviance for the time being. But then the visions returned.

Struck by a vision of daemons and betrayal during a jump through warpspace, Marn took up his blade and stalked through his clan, rooting out the what he believed were monsters attempting to possess his brothers. Yet his blade grew slick not with the blood of traitors, but of those very souls he sought to save. When the vision ended, and Marn looked out upon the death his fury had wrought, the grim tally that his arms, with strength he had never known, had taken, he broke. Something deep within his mind snapped, echoing deep into the warp, and the grandfather laughed.

Marn’s sorrow engulfed him, he sat on his knees and stopped fighting, stopped caring, stopped everything. The death and despair he had brought to bear weakened the already tenuous Gellar fields of the clanship and a tide of nurglings and plaguebearers rushed through the thousand cracks that had formed. Great flies choked out the air exchange and though first there was shouting and noise, all became silent and still.

Then Marn, mind unshackled from reason and purpose, began to laugh. His laughter rang and rang for longer than any being’s laughter should. His body wracked and twisted with the bone splintering cackles. When at long last Marn stopped, he was changed. Grown in size and strength, his body pushed out at the confines of his bionic limbs, till they too stretched with him. Great rotting pinions laced with rusted metal bones sprouted from a broken and protruding metal spine. Crawling to his feet, Marn picked up his combat blade, now grown magnificent and terrible, steeped in the souls of his dead brothers.

Now Marn stalks the universe, unhinged and always ahead of a host of daemons made of metal and rust. What sights are presented to his insane mind are perhaps best left unguessed, but he seems to slip from maniacal roaring clowning to slow methodical murder to even moments approaching lucidity. It is in those moments that he is most dangerous, for it seems that even now his eyes still tell tales, as his cries deriding the weakness of the flesh are often the last thing heard by the servants of the Emperor arrayed in front of him.
 
With that, Vow 5, and my ETL IV are done.

LET THE GALAXY BURN!!!!

Wish my 4th vow was a bit larger than ten cultists and a sorc now... sat here bored praying that we win, if I knew it was gonna be this close and I'd be sat around doing nothing for nearly a week I'd have made it a bigger vow... 

Bah!  I've given up on trying to fix the armor on the Lord of Skulls.  I could have left it as it was but that seems counter to the spirit of the ETL.  I'd rather fail my soul vow than claim something I'm not happy with.  So....have redone all the red armor back to silver and will start over on tinting it up to red and then fixing details.  Still no where near the level of layering I did for the chaos lord but all the issues I saw have been corrected.  There should be more than enough time to finish what I have to redo and still needed to complete. (I hope.)

 

Now pardon me while I go slam my head in to the wall for a bit....   

IT IS DONE.

More pics in my thread.

Finally done! I had to rush a little and cut corners, but nothing that can't be fixed in a couple months when I feel like I can paint again :P I'll also post a complete picture of the 12k I did this year, probably this weekend. Good luck everyone, get those vows in! I keep bothering Ben to get his 1k done so hopefully he does!

I wanted to be done, and I HATE these bikes for what they could have been if not half melted by Plastic Glue...but we are now down to the final day tomorrow and I'll be painting....

5 Bikes, and 1 Juggerlord (painted in parts, so just need to put together and touch up!)

And then I'll be done.

Well the bloodletters are done other than the horn on the musician (left hand side) which I forgot about. And bases, I'll try and get all the bases done Saturday morning in not Friday night.
