Recommended Posts

Oh Lion - I am so jealous. I want that Knight! Nice work so far everyone, have a week one update!

 

July – Week one

 

Well, we’ve lost first place in the ETL guys, and momentum is slipping. Still we have our die hard members hanging in with the casual challenge, and doing the board proud. It is a please to fight alongside you all!  

 

Current Pledged Scores: 

Traitors 67.5 – 80 Loyalists

 

Well, we have a scrap this month at least! Can the traitors finally take a clear sweep, beating the loyalists in pledges, score, and percentage completion?

Current scores

Lots of progress on all of these pledges already, but no completed vows!

 

Pledges – Traitors 0 – 0 Loyalists

 

Score – Traitors 8.5 – 3 Loyalists

 

Percentage of pledged score – Traitors 12.59% - 3.75% Loyalists

 

Traitor dominance in week one, driven by the glorious work of Grand_master85, and his gloriously weathered Death Guard. Mind of Metal is once again trail blazing for the loyalist team, with his three completed HQ units for his mechanicum and Imperial Army. We’ve seen lots of progress from other fraters, but completions are pending.

 

Warrior’s Champions for May

After votes this week, we do have a clear traitor winners of June’s warrior’s champion award (securing 100% of the votes!) The loyalist award is a tie, with nominations for four different pledges.

 

For the loyalists – Lion of Judah, with his excellent Storm Eagle and Polux, and DimDim for his converted Polux.

For the traitors – Richmarine, with some stunning Justarien terminators, and a great Reaver Captain.

 

Congratulations guys – please do post your vows in the hall of victors, even though we lost our pin! Hopefully there is a lot more progress to come. Good luck guys!

MoM - that really is a beauty - love the weathered red paint scheme, love the conversion, love the pose.

 

Lion and DimDim - Well deserved guys. Thanks for posting in the Hall too!

 

Kurama - Now THAT is some awesome news! In Vulkan's name brother! What are you planning?

Hmmm planning 2 10 man tac squads 10 pyroclasts 5 fire drakes 1 Rapier 1 praetor and maybe a Vindicator Laser Destroyer.

 

 

I think I've got the passion for the sallies to keep them as a full time project just keeping Flames minimal

Awesome work Nevindar!!!

I got to prime and preshade before the next round of rains hit today- been so wet here its crazy! The humidity has been to high to prime when its not been raining but I caught a break today :)

Did i win something? cool! i'll upload the images. 

 

Thanks very much for the votes. its an honour to be amongst some really good painters and minis.

 

I richmarine Vow 5 reavers with jump packs and two power swords.

 

thanks to flickr i'm having serious trouble copying code from the website on my usual devices. i need to find a better way of storing all my work. Since i use PCs at work all the time now i'm loath to use the one i have at home.

Come on guys!!! Lets keep up the mojo! :) 

I spent the last 3 hours painting the metallics on my Archeon, snap bucket/photobucket is down right now so no pics up yet. 

Layered metal with PP armor wash and then a layer of rustall on the metals.. too tired in the moment to start taping the armor plates for the split paint job. 

So, a photo that serves as both "pledge one: ferrus and tarantula BUILT" and ":cuss yeah here's Ferrus, Tarantula and the 10 Tacmarines for my next pledge" proof. All shot in glorious black and white to give it an edge of history, a note off destiny, a pledge of grave importance. This, my fellow Frater, is the final part of my ETL pledge:

Did someone say keep up the mojo?

 

Well here you go - vow complete!

 

Locis Nevindar, Archmagos Prime of the Legio Tempestus:

This really is a great model, and I rather like the Legio Tempestus colours on him. I think I've got enough checks!

 

I'll be painting something else this month, but I'm not sure what yet!

 

EDIT: By the way, great work on your tanks Nevindar! Are you painting all of that stuff this month, or just the 10 infantry?

 

Kor'Vesh

I just got done doing a test model before I move on and start on the rest. I'm actually fairly pleased with how he turned out, although the photo doesn't really do him any justice. I'll have to nab the family camera sometime later on this weekend and set up a decent photo box for a better shot.

Kor'Vesh1: Well, I am honoured! Quite even look like me. Now I have to sort a model after you!
Also, thanks for the comments on the tank. I feel like I should take some more pictures of the Predator to show it off more than just that pose.

Kor'vesh2: Well, all of it. I did build Ferrus and the Tarantula for pledge one so... let's get on with the show!

Time for this.

closing in on completion this is a very work and progress photo the chipping is going to be a lot of work but figured i better post an update oh and for the record airbrushing metallics is a tad different then normal base paints [/url]">http://http://s76.photobucket.com/user/DBH_Hamilton/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150711_174333-1_zpsc8nsr8z2.jpg.html'>http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j9/DBH_Hamilton/Mobile%20Uploads/20150711_174333-1_zpsc8nsr8z2.jpg

vow complete baby keep pushing for the ETL kids we can smash them pesky chaos dogs

Kriegriss - great completion my friend! The tank looks excellent!

 

Isinfier - nice SoH - unless I missed it though, I don't think you've made a pledge for the month. Would love to have you in the competition officially!

 

In fact, I'd love to see some more vows in general. The etl needs us Fraters! Let's see some pledges and do honour to the age of darnkness forum!

Can I make a slight change to my vow? After seeing the Lord of Iron I must return to my beloved IVth Legion! My pledge will be 10 marines of the iron Warriors. I'll be building them later on today so expect some pics!

 

Love the Magos Kor'Vesh! I have one waiting to be primed and you've given me an idea on how to paint it! I also have some Mechanichum models needing painted, I'm thinking a Legio Mortis support detachment!
