@lionofjudah: They are wardrones from anvil industry. They aren't officially released yet but I managed to pick them up early at Salute in April.

 

I am using them as Scyllax guardian automata as I like the models and want an excuse to use them.

Nevindar - Well, I do already have Ation, Salamanders apothecary named in honour of the Lady of the Rumour Tower. My Executioner will also be named Magma Stream, in honour of Slips, so Nev'Dar isn't beyond the realms of possibility. Your name might be better for my Mechanicum Magos though!

How do we get our names picked for your models? Personally I think 'the Fire Golem' works very well as a title for the Salamanders, maybe a Dread...

 

... No I know it's a crap name. Genuinely picked it when I was about 13, it was gonna be my DIY chapter name haha.

 

Love your Dread btw. That model is stunning and as I've said before I love your brighter green. Some great work in here as always!

Diddim - excellent work as ever mate. What is next?

MoM - I like those guys a lot, I think they're decent option for the sculls, which I'm not too gone on myself.

Lion - awesome job. Just needs the legion margins and some numerals.

Fire Golem - good to see you sir! I was thinking about FG as a nickname or honourific for my dread actually - think it works tbh. And you get something named after you by asking, being active in here and having a viable name. You certainly qualify now :) how's your painting going anyway? I was impressed with your last batch of Ravens and iron warriors!

No way I can get the Drac done this month guys I'll have to carry over to next month busy, busy, month. Excellent work from both traitors and loyalist. ELT Will be ours for sure, and in fact I should finish that Siciran next month so I can finish my ETL Vow, and score us all those points.

Oh well that was easy ;) I haven't done much since then; I don't really have any of the right paints for stuff I'm waiting to paint and I don't have much money this month to buy anything, and also I don't have much built yet haha. But hopefully I'll have some stuff soon, wanna test some Ultramarines and some White Scars. (And World Eater, and Emperors Children, and Death Guard...)

So here was  the part of my vow I wasn't able to complete last month.

I know its a bit late in the month to pledge but to be honest i forgot to pledge here as i have already pledge on the E Tenebrae Lux IV challenge. This month I pledge 15 marines and 1 whirlwind scorpius for starters. Below is the before and after progress,

I basically followed the FW painting guide scheme with a couple small tweaks. Primed white on the body, left the shoulder pads and backpack off and primed them black. Airbrushed the blue onto the black primed stuff. And just washed in the cracks of the white primer to get the shadow with Nightshade, Agrax and water mixed 1/1/1. Then highlighted with ceremite white. The blue was Kantor Blue highlight with Kantor and ceremite 1/1. Not very difficult scheme. Ill be adding an awful lot more infantry to the army so I'm glad its quick to paint.

Feeling a bit slumped and lost when it comes to the side sponsons on my Predator. Having too many ideas for it can be bad for sure. Narrowed it down to two design types, if anyone care to give some thoughts.

1: A side armour sponson akin to a smaller version of the ones on ForgeWorlds MKIIB Land Raider (which is the pattern I'm going for with this army starting after the ETL)

2: A sponson akin to the ones found on the Sicaran Battle Tank.

Any thoughts?

Nevindar - mkIIB style for me. The sicaran sponsons are identical to the Deimos predator, and you want something more unique. I think the mkIIB sponsons are more heavily armoured, and will fit nicely with your Pallas rhinos, which look a bit up armoured themselves!

 

Rage - I can't believe the speed and quality of that paint job. Great work. I'm slightly envious!

 

Slips - I never even contemplated you forgetting you vow. That just wouldn't happen.

 

Jimbo - thanks for posting the rest of the squad. The weathering is really unique, they look almost like their armour is verdigris. Cool effect.

 

Rich - he is a champ.

I use the secret weapon mini faded blue with some greys, I wanted to make it look like rad waste or something bad like that. I thought the oxidized copper would give me that look.

That is a fair point Kor'Vesh. I might just do something more inspired by rather than a piece-by.piece shrunken MkIIb sponson though, similar but just different enough!

 

Speaking of, here's a WIP of the turret, finally got a use for a spare Baal Predator (also an image to prove that this is a conversion after all, see the rhino chassis in the background ;))

Also, way WIP, nothing else!

Apothecary and 10 Marines

Here's a different shot of the same marines

Finished painting the brass etched pieces for the raptor this eve. Didn't attach them but got Started on Polux this eve... Basecoated and first layer then a wash. Too bleary eyed to work anymore but satisfied for sure. Don't know if I will run him as Polux, may be a breacher sgt as sigismunds rules are pretty killer.

Ahhh.... contemplating the Cerastus and its paint job. Will be testing out the airbrush mixtures on some other pieces before I get around to that beautiful hunk of resin.

In the process of buying a house and will be on vacation the end of July so I will have to bust the knight out kinda quick like for julys ETL bid:)

Have phallic flyers that arrived yesterday and a small pile of other dudes that I can add in maybe for August... Will have to see how the move goes:)

Will post Polux pic tomorrow.

Nevindar - It is a big-ass armoured beasty. Really nice job, and I like those sponsons! But yes. Lots of rivets please!

 

Dantioch - Forgive me, I thought you'd forgotten us! Looks very nice - do you have a theme for your Ultramarines?

 

Blitz - a very good job sir. I REALLY like that apothecary scheme!

Kor'Vesh- I would love to say I was doing something important but really it was just playing too much Xbox to paint laugh.png No way I would be forgetting this, the monthly challenge and the AoD forum is probably the main reason I'm so motivated to paint biggrin.png

Still working on a theme but I like the idea of battle hardened survivors of Calth being sent in pursuit of the Word Bearers with fast moving units of assault marines mixed with heavy infantry ( Breacher squads and Heavy support marines) and lots of vehicles.
