Charlo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 8 Units vowed, 3 complete, and the remaining 5 underway. Must up pace. I mean - mine are black... Which to be fair is 75% of my models technically done... Maybe I should keep resting? Not if you want to cede the Forum Champion title to someone else... Perhaps twas always a pipe dream! WE SHALL SEE THOUGH, just gotta get that motivation and some space to paint!

Jolemai Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've made good progess but sadly I'm not going to complete my vow before I go away for nearly a week soon. Still, here is another WIP shot. Can't wait to unleash him on the table! What reds did you use? They look great, I need to know for potential reasons... Nice to see you're planning for the ETL with us next year ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/20/#findComment-4413792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I did BA back in 2nd Ed so they have a special place in my heart but one Marine army is enough for me! I wanted the red for what may be a dead Word Bearer I don't think I have all those colours though, unless they're the new names so I might need to experiment.

Arkaniss Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Mechrite Red = Mephiston Red Scab Red = Khorne Red Blood Red = Evil Sunz Scarlet Though how on earth Mephiston Red is the replacement for Mechrite I don't know. Mechrite was much darker. For Word Bearers you might want Wazdakka Red which is the new version of Red Gore?

I wanted the red for what may be a dead Word Bearer I don't think I have all those colours though, unless they're the new names so I might need to experiment. Knew there was a reason we go along ;) Anyway, translation in red: What reds did you use? They look great, I need to know for potential reasons... Cheers! For the ribbed bits and torso I did Scab Red Base, Mechrite Red layer then I gave it a good coat of Baal Red Wash. The robe was only a Scab Red base with edge highlights done with Mechrite Red, then Baal Red Wash. The few bits of armour are just Scab Red base and Mechrite Red layer. I think that covers all the red! That said, you should be fine playing around.

Mechrite red is a lot more maroon, Scab Red is a lot more burgundy and Blood Red is a lot less orange. We're only going by the conversion chart that GW released when they switched the system round. It was never perfect though, the new paints were always the nearest equivalent(s).

It was never perfect though, the new paints were always the nearest equivalent(s). Indeed, straight from the conversion chart. Which has long been suspect in my eyes, I do things by eye when deciding which replacement paint I actually need. I don't even have Evil Sunz Scarlet for example, where Blood Red was a stable in my paint collection in ages past.

Jolemai Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 What do you use instead? For me it's an adequate replacement (and so smooth!)

Mechrite was much darker. For Word Bearers you might want Wazdakka Red which is the new version of Red Gore? Mechrite Red does not equal Mephiston Red. If you can find some horde it! The closest color I've found is the old scab red/new Khorne Red. I made the mistake of using the new Mephiston next to a Mechrite and there is an obvious difference!

Arkaniss Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 What do you use instead? For me it's an adequate replacement (and so smooth!) I use Mephiston Red now. Is Evil Sunz Scarlet really that close to the old Blood Red? The one time the conversion chart is accurate and I didn't believe it...

CaptainHelion Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've found Khorne red to be plenty close enough after a wash and whatever other colours get layered on top, but it's definitely not quite the same. Just close enough for me.

WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I remember the old Blood Red - quite bright. I much prefer the darker red BA we get now. Anyone else remember Blood Angel's Red? I recall it was basically the same as Blood Red but a bit more orange for some inexplicable reason Anyway, I don't need exact colours as I'm not trying to paint a Blood Angel just a one off dead traitor - that's assuming I even do it The help is appreciated all the same. Now, I'm pretty sure you've all got some models to paint...

appiah4 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Blood Angels Red was basically a mix between Blood Red and Blazing orange. A very close match that I regularly use is FolkArt's Red Light. the new Troll Slayer Orange is quite close.

Aubéron Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I, Aubéron, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete a Land raider Crusader with multi melta, and a Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnought, with grav flux bombard and siege drill from Codex: Blood Angels and Horus Heresy vol VI of total value 655 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. http://i86.servimg.com/u/f86/17/80/50/96/img_3425.jpg As you can see, I started painting the Land Raider. This is actually repainting over an old Land Raider painted at the time the colors of the Grey Knights.I will do everything it again so do not worry.Friendly.Aub.

Charlo Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Aubéron, cannot WAIT to see you paint a Leviathan! One small hitch - the Grav Bombard is not legal in 40k :( so unsure if you can vow it?!

Aubéron Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 He can be counted as a cyclonic Melta lance? It's the same point cost.

Arkaniss Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Nice! I'll echo Charlo - looking forward to seeing that Leviathan all painted up in glorious Blood Angel colours. As for the vow technicalities I think only the good Captain can answer that but yeah, I think only legal 40K stuff is allowed. Should be ok to make it counts-as though?

Captain Semper Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 He can be counted as a cyclonic Melta lance? It's the same point cost. Yes it can. You are not gaining any points and it seems unfair to disqualify the whole effort on the back of that.
