+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Horus Heresy Strategium+++

[Relict]

Great work. How difficult was the kit to assemble? I hope it wasn't as tough as a Storm Eagle or Spartan. 

[grand_master85]

It was easy, Relict! Pretty similar to the Predator, it's basically a plastic rhino with a few fancy resin bits added on.

[Fangbanger]

Not too sure where to stick these but here are my before picks for my pledge.

Looks awesome!

[Sabadin]

Haven't had as much time to paint as I'd hoped so far. But here's a wip to show I've not forgotten about you brothers.

[Kizzdougs]

The Veterans are finished! All I need to do is finish the bases and then I'll declare my vow complete :)

I've posted some individual pics in my WIP thread

[Captain Semper]

The quality of the work of the HH crowd is overwhelming! Congratulations brothers and more so for those to those who reported completions! :tu:

 

@ Balthamal: Sorry mate - a bit confused... Are you reporting completion of your vow? :unsure:

 

 

Just pointing out that we're 2/3 there... So time is now an issue. So get ready for a frantic July! :D

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

ETL IV - EIGHTH WEEKLY UPDATE

[Dantay VI]

Okay, getting there with my first vow: Sorry for the slow progress. All painting done by hand and my biggest brush just now on the rig is a GW standard brush.

Plus the gits didn't send my modelling bag home on the helicopter (too many bags!) so I am 3 weeks off schedule..

Anyway enough moaning:

The Castigator so far:

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20150627_121725.jpg

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20150627_121823.jpg

As you can see a fair bit still to do, but I am getting there.

Now I would like some advice: I am wondering what symbols to do for honour markings on the Knight? There is very little in the HH books on the Knights themselves, so I need inspiration.... So does anyone have any ideas?? I considered doing a mailed fist with lightning bolts on one knee, as I saw it on some Imperial Fista and it represents fighting alongside the Emperor... But what else could I use.

The plate on the sword arm: I was considering painting a Lion's head. Also, the sword looks... Okay, any ideas for jazzing it up a bit??

Groin plate, I am thinking og putting the Wallbanks family crest there... Why? Because at the outset this Knight was in memory of my Grandad: Wilfred Wallbanks.. I will use it as an honour mark of some type, the shoulder plates bear the symbol for Lochaber, not quite a family crest, but he was a Laird there and it was passed to me, so I figured it would be a nice House symbol...

I am getting worried I am going a bit OTT with patterns and designs. Hopefully it doesn't look like a Knight impersonating a Harlequin

Anyways Ideas, hints and help much appreciated

[Kydoimos]

Damn, I just missed the update time :)

 

Anyway, here are two more Cataphractii done :

 

http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q578/kydoimos2/22_zpsxfdln38c.jpg

 

Three guys are still waiting to receive their colors. I also started my Spartan, and it's going along quite well. It's great to paint again after a rather long time of near total loss of motivation!

[heshman]

10 man squad complete.  Starting working on the dread this evening.

 

 

[Kizzdougs]

VOW COMPLETE

I'll post some more pics in my WIP thread :)

[Dantay VI]

A very rough sword design, for my Knight Sword of Kings.

 

Does it look okay? Should I keep the red curl on the vent, or keep the vent on the back pure metal??

 

Also considering doing a crown around halfway down the sword blade, Yay or nay??

C&C please??

[Iron Bars]

Kizzdougs: love the not over the top plasma glow, great EC purple.

 

Dante_xv: If you shade the red same as on the other side it will look great I think.

 

Small paint update: preators finished just need to do some snow flock on the bases. Started blocking in the colors on the dreadclaw

[Dantay VI]

Oooohhh!! Iron Bars, I wants it!! That is one mighty fine looking beastie you have there.

 

Oh for sure it will get shaded like the opposite side, that is just a very first rough cut.

 

Anyways I asked earlier, should I put a crown on the sword?? I decided to experiment on the leg armour to get an idea.

 

So, 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20150628_185149.jpg

 

No crown

 

http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20150628_191239.jpg

 

Crown

 

Opinions please?

[richmarine]

@Dantay. I'd carry the detail through the carapace. Would look odd with part of the sword. Crown looks like a progression of the sigil. Like a head of the household. Looks good.

[grand_master85]

Some absutely stonking updates this weekend, great work chaps!

 

@Kizzdougs - I am a little in love with your Emperor's Children!

 

Had something of a slow weekend away. Had planned to also finish my Spartan and Pred Executioner, but had to spend about 11 hours playing football with my dog. Still, my Contemptor is just about done, base aside. Happy with it, and I feel each thing I do is an improvement on the last. Some pictures below, clearly I need a better quality camera and to learn some photography skills (i.e. Stop getting your fat fingers on the way of the lens!).

 

I'm gonna back to Mortarion and just us some of the Nihilakh Oxide on the brass and use some streaking grime on the joints, then he will be completed and I can carry on with the Spartan/Pred next.

 

Looking at adding more walkers for my plodding Infantry theme. Either a Deredo or a couple of Castellax to accompany my somewhat lonely Consul-Praevian.

Thinking of starting a 2nd vow. Toss up between 5 reavers or a sicarian.

[grand_master85]

Great work, Richmarine! Love the green and the Juataerin look very sleek. Obviously, they don't go to the same place for armour as my DG :D

 

Defo do a second vow, looking forward to seeing more of these chaps.
