Xenith Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Vow update Tactical Squad Drazen finished at 01:30am this morning. Was determined to finish it Terminator squad Lorenzo next then onto vow 2 Great work! Any chance for some close ups? In other news, a local gamer fleamarket saw me picking up 2 landspeeders and an original metal Furioso for a song. The Dread will be embiggened, then vowed, sometime.

Xenith Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Nice work! I particularly like that second guy from the left, the pose is excellent, and I'll probably steal the low held bolter, and bracing legs!

Slothysaur Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I, Slothysaur, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX V and vow to complete Chapter Master Dante (worth 220 points) on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to ETL Faction Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until my vow is complete.  Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/13/#findComment-4407773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Here is my promised picture of the completed Chaplain with jump pack and inferno pistol: Hidden Content Half done my first vow. Now onto the DC Dread. Awesome Chaplain there Nicodemus! And a brave choice to go for purple which actually worked very well! :tu: Vow update Tactical Squad Drazen finished at 01:30am this morning. Was determined to finish it Hidden Content Terminator squad Lorenzo next then onto vow 2 Congratulations gav! You may have stayed up late but this sure was worth it! Now I have not added the second vow yet, I assume you'll make it official once you worked out the details? I, Slothysaur, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX V and vow to complete Chapter Master Dante (worth 220 points) on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to ETL Faction Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until my vow is complete. Welcome to the ETL! The BAs are definitely in need for new blood (pun intended) so it's great timing chose to join in! Good luck! UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

CaptainHelion Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I was planning on getting pics of my vow up finally, but the weather is just horrible! Consistently on every day I get free, it's been a downpour. At least classes finish up this week, so I'll be free more often.

gav1892 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Captainsemper. Still have my terminator squad to finish then vow 1 will be complete. Second vow I'm working points for should be about 1000 ish points if I don't run out of paint first. Â Jolemai I have a Dante but I just can't face doing another fail cast model at the minute as the axe has snapped before I've even done anything might have to chop the arm off and use a SG arm instead if I'm going to vow him.

SM1981 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I also have an amputee Dante to paint at some point in time - and was thinking about some customisation too. The problem is the difference in scale between the older models and newer ones means swapping parts out isn't as straight forward as you'do like it to be.

I have yet to work on the Lord Executioner; But that will soon be fixed! :) However this forum being for Imperials I will not taint this thread with my Xenos models uploads to show you my experiences. I find it isn't painting that is harder, but traveling is. Those damned rifles break all the time.

evildrcheese Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Weird. I've not had any real problems with finecast and found painting them great as the details are really crisp. I did manage to break the too off my Terminator Libby's banner thing, but I think this is more an issue with my transporting models with pokey bits on top as the same happened with my Karlean.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 My experience has been similar to EDC. I've actually had only good experience with Finecast and found it easier to paint owing to the sharper details.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Always remember to wash all resin and fine cast in soapy water with a toothbrush before priming/painting. That could be why the paint job doesn't look as keen.
