Adeptus Mechanicus - Skitarii Forge Temple - "TERRA CIMMERIA"

at work at the moment but when i get home i will organise my first pledge... ( Insert Pledge Here )

happy to be in on this and I'm pretty sure it will give me some much needed motivation to add to my force.

cheers Mithril

Thanks for the welcomes, @rashbold -glad to see your getting into it there with your vow.

Don't worry,the pic is the only thing i'm stealing from you blush.png but from now on i'll use this one laugh.png

SW1 - is that a lamp light from the city terrain set? ...very ingenious if it is! and is that a Stormtrooper er i mean scion head?

Im going on the family holiday in a couple days so adding how late in the month it is i may have to use Sept as my "Siesta" month,

but will hope to be putting together part of my October vow whilst i'm away msn-wink.gif (that is if Mithril Jnr lets me sneak in some model timetongue.png )

Cheers, Mithril

@Mithril - it is the light bit of the free standing lamp light from the cities of death scenery kit. I noticed it was nearly the same diameter and slapped it on. The hardest bit was getting the cut square. :tu:

 

And I still call storm troopers by the correct name. It's one of the stormies heads that I couldn't find a use for previously. Stormies have berets no matter what. ;)

Updated to this point:

 

Now as a sneak peak at a later months vow

 

"Let Justice Be Done, Though the Heavens Fall" is the English translation of the the Latin phrase "Fiat justitia ruat caelum", which signifies the belief that justice must be realized regardless of consequences.

 

If anyone can figure out what I have planned I'll be quite impressed.

 

Also on that note after this event I'll be looking for some people wishing to help me in a project to come forward but this is still a long time to come.

 

Now we're moving closer to the end of the month so hopefully we see helterskelters Storm blade finished soon and all the other goodies we've had a peak at progress closer to the finished mark

I'm gonna guess it's a Cerberus Tank Destroyer because what's heavier than a Neutron!

 

Lets go ahead and get this show on the road though, there's gonna be a lot of pics. So the original plan was to have the Deredeo done and the Contemptor playing catch up. That is until the last two nights happened. Starting off are some bases,

 

Contemptor Base

The Contemptor base came first, I grabbed a random textured GW made base and did the usual sand and chains thing to cover up it's origins.

Working the clay!

Yesterday I did stop by my local GW, but they weren't carrying 80mm bases, and my take was I could give making one a try. I'm gonna have to consider how much I like it once the clay hardens completely. The flight base is gonna be for an upcoming project that I know is gonna need a very steady base.

 

Power Walkin'  Forward

I think it's fairly obvious the Contemptor didn't get the Captain Morgan pose I was originally going for.

Power Walkin' Rear

It's maybe a sorta power walk....

Power Walkin' Right

On the shoulder is an attempt to freehand a small design, I don't think I'm sold on it yet.

Power Walkin'  Left Side

I do like the checks though!

 

So depending on how long it takes for the base to dry, the Deredeo will have to be up next!

Nothing painted yet as I am saving that for last. Still, I am happy to be building.

Pulled an all-nighter and sprained a cog, but here is my second Vanguard squad assembled:

Rushing the assembly had its downside; a lot of extra filing and clipping once the models were assembled.
A few messy spots from gluing, also filed and cleaned as much as possible.

Overall, it was psychologically worth it to see them built, but if I was going for more than a table top quality I would be a bit disappointed.

Also, corrected my "status report" to show a vowed Ballistarii, NOT a Dragoon yet.
