Librarian conclave from Carcharodon Predation Fleet Mako.   

 

Epistolary Quinto Sendul,  Epistolary Tsol Hiro and Codicifer  Suresh Blache.  These three Powerful warriors help maintain both physical records for the chapter, but also provide an oral tradition of stories and legends that are passed from new initiates to the most senior of battle brothers.  

 

These warriors also help provide long range communications for brothers on missions spread across a wide range of sites.  

 

 

I decided to try some OSL effects for the power weapons and glowing eyes.    The librarian hoods and symbols were all made with greenstuff and the large force sword Epistolary Hiro wields was made from a piece of old sprue material.

 

I am thinking about finishing up my remaining two scout units for my next objective secured.

Nice lighting effects there, I particularly like the sword on the librarian in the centre. 

 

Spent the morning rummaging around the bits box trying to come up with a harness for Not-Vaylund. Pretty satisfied with it and it is awaiting priming, although I'm tempted to add a small folded up servo-arm (like the missile loading servo-arm) to the back of the harness. Given how it would be only visible from the rear, I can see why it'd be pointless. 

 

I'm thinking of using the sergeant's head from the Immortals set, but I have no idea what to do with his (missing) right hand. Any suggestions? (Alternate heads and hands).

Not-Vaylund is coming on really well, I'm so eager to get painting on mine. The Immortal head will fit very well with the over all aesthetic. The empty hand poses an interesting conundrum. Maybe check out some bits sellers and see what right hands there are? 

My current painting project has stalled while I'm waiting for a certain color I need to arrive in the mail with my new codex, but can I add two Exorcist Terminator Librarians and two Exorcist Terminator Chaplains to my vow? Gotta keep working or I'll lose my drive.

Well, I have an order from Forge World placed for my Dissection servitors for the Corpse Taker unit in addition to an Astral Claws transfer sheet and the Tyrant himself, Lugft Huron. The construction of my Vivisector Apothcary is done, now I just need to paint him.

I would probably try to keep things simple for the right hand.  Many choices for right hand holding a boltgun or boltpistol.  Maybe something ornate from the sternguard set.

WOO-HOO!!! My shapeways order arrived. WiP Pics incoming tonight!

 

EDIT: Sorry for the crappy quality and flash. Here's my first 5 SoM Tac Marines. Hard to see in the photo, but, three of the marines have the shoulders from shapeways on them.

Next up will be the remaining marines. The Veteran Sergeant I'm waiting on the new Devastator bits for him.

My Sons of Medusa Devastator squad will be ordered once I get paid on Thursday. I think I'm going to keep the variety up by alternating between expanding the Sons of Medusa and the Agripinaa Skitarii I've also started. The colours are very different, so I shouldn't get bored (whereas I did stall out on finishing the Attack on Black Reach Orks, due to too much green all at once).

so i received one of 4 orders i have inbound all cleaned up and ready to assemble

So the order of paint that got held up got shipped and arrived today....without the flipping paint I need. I'm just gonna order the shapeways pads and paint from a different supplier on Wednesday. Hopefully I might be able to paint War Clan Atropos this side of the Apocalypse. 

Hey guys! I managed to complete my Tenebrae vow, as well as the extra characters I pledged yesterday. While I did not pledge the Carcharodons to this thread, I felt that it's relevant enough to throw them in here! There are some things that i am waiting till next month to do when I have the proper materials, such as the bases, and plasma glow on the Terminator Chaplains, but I consider them finished for now. Without further ado..

Next up I would like to pledge..

 

Exorcists Deredeo Dreadnought

Anvilus Autocannons

Aiolos Missile Launcher

Heavy Bolters

Holy Throne raeho, the markings on those Exorcists terminators are stunning. The Carcharodons captain looks suitably intimidating and brutal. 

 

My progress is slow but steady. Everything is held in place by blue-tac, as there are still details I'm not satisfied with. I'm considering using one of the hands/claws from a Thallax for his right hand, if I can't find a suitable hand.

Some amazing stuff in this thread, which is what enticed me to join today.

So far I've got about 2500 points of Astral Claws painted, I'll start a thread and get some pics up in the next couple of days. 

If anyone can join in here, I'm building up to 4000 points or so, so to complete on this year I pledge:

Scout squad with bolters

Storm Talon

 

There will be more, but that should get me started.

I have some ideas for an allied Scion force too......
