LutherMax Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Awesome Death Company! Well done on the completions guys. I'm hoping to have a decent amount of hobby time this weekend so will update on progress tomorrow...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 More absolutely fantastic completions, brothers. No matter what the Sons of Sanguinius can hold their heads high after this ETL for all the quality that's been pumped out. Let's keep it going and beat out as many factions as we can for quantity too!

Helias_Tancred Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Almost done with the Chaplain model that is part of my Oath. Still a WIP, around 70% done. I absolutely love how he is turning out. When this model first came out I didn't care for it. Then one day I bought him for the heck of it. Weeks later started painting him and I was like WHOA! I love him now.

SM1981 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 When this model first came out I didn't care for it. Then one day I bought him for the heck of it. I know exactly what you mean, and I agree with you. It helps that yours (and some others) have put up some really gorgeous paint jobs, but when I first saw that model I was not impressed. Seeing what it can be made into though has put him firmly no my "to buy" list. Great job.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 @RedemptionNL what size of base is that attack bike on? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/38/#findComment-4439411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That's a 80mm round base. I always found the 60mm looks too cramped for attack bikes, and having the model without a base would seem off. And as I put my marines on the new 32mm standard, the little extra space the 80mm offers seems to fit right in. I opted for the new 75x46 ovals instead of the old 70x25mm pill bases for the regular bikers as well for the same reason. These seem to be intended to be the new standard anyway, if the Sector Imperialis bases and the White Scars biker in Deathwatch Overkill are to be judged.

LutherMax Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That Chaplain is looking really awesome Helias. I'm hoping to paint mine up for my third vow if I get the second finished in time. Speaking of which, made some progress this weekend. Need to layer up the gold and then all the armour will get an oil wash, then it'll just be details and the base... http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Gerantius-WIP.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/38/#findComment-4439552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 It's a little bit more green in reality - I'm doing Gerantius, the Green Knight, but I've gone for more of a bright turquoise for the armour. It'll look quite different after the oil wash anyway!

Col Conrad Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ok folks, I'm looking for a little feedback on my scouts for my current vow. My homebrewed successor chapter is the Grail Wardens, and their color scheme is a mix of red and black. I painted one scout up with khaki clothing and black leather straps, pouches etc. and one with black clothing and brown leather straps pouches etc. I like the look of the one with the khaki, but it looks almost identical to a standard blood angels scout and I'm not sure if there is enough black on the color scheme. Anybody have any opinions on which fits better? http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/7/10/812700_sm-Blood%20Angels%2C%20Bolt%20Pistol%2C%20Grail%20Wardens%2C%20Scouts.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/7/10/812701_sm-Blood%20Angels%2C%20Bolt%20Pistol%2C%20Grail%20Wardens%2C%20Scouts.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/7/10/812702_sm-Blood%20Angels%2C%20Bolt%20Pistol%2C%20Grail%20Wardens%2C%20Scouts.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/7/10/812703_sm-Blood%20Angels%2C%20Bolt%20Pistol%2C%20Grail%20Wardens%2C%20Scouts.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/7/10/812697_sm-Blood%20Angels%2C%20Bolt%20Pistol%2C%20Grail%20Wardens%2C%20Scouts.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/7/10/812704_sm-Blood%20Angels%2C%20Bolt%20Pistol%2C%20Grail%20Wardens%2C%20Scouts.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/38/#findComment-4439586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I actually prefer the guy with black clothing - he looks more stealthy as a scout should in my opinion...

Father Mapple Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Maybe some highlights on the black clothing would make it have the detail you are in the khaki one? They both look good to me.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 @RedemptionNL: thanks! @Col Conrad: My vote goes to the black fatigues as well. Looks good and I agree with the assessment that it seems more stealthy. The white studio style always seema a bit ostentatious to me for scouts.

Col Conrad Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ok, well thats settles it, Black cloth it is! Oh, and Father Maple, the cloth on the one scout is already highlighted, it just hard to see in the sub par quality pics. I start black, do a medium dry brush of astronomicon grey, then a very light dusting of administratum gray, then wash with nuln oil. Its hard to make black cloth look black and still have more visible highlights. I guess thats why black cloth is stealthy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/38/#findComment-4439742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall rectify this as my next vow has the correct sgt and I will vow for that one as a power sword and plasma pistol instead. If there is some other way the mods would like me to handle this, just let me know.)

Boudan Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Vow #3 Complete! http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w371/Brendanguilford/50E97563-EE32-44BF-8091-800A03830D7B_zpsgbkd0glq.jpg So, I am exhausted, I opened a law practice a few weeks ago after several years of daddy day care, and frankly I am up to my ears in work and stress. It has decimated my pool of free time and as a result vow #3 dragged on for so much longer than I had initially planned. Professionally things are going great, but my poor hobby! I am going to continue with another vow, but I have to cut it back a lot. I love participating in ETL and being a part of this crew, but real life keep slapping my paintbrush from my hand. --- I, Boudan, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one (1) Predator with lascannon turret and lascannon sponsons, and one (1) company captain with artificer armor, storm shield, relic blade and melta bombs for a total of 310 points on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to the Lamenters Chapter, the Blood Angels Faction and Sanguinius, Brightest One and Martyr of Terra, whilst failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until my oath is complete. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w371/Brendanguilford/DAF1DC93-668D-4789-9368-E6915EE4DC6C_zps9nihevix.jpg http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w371/Brendanguilford/8981E63C-4D61-4880-A153-BC4266F1E84D_zpssokwas9f.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/38/#findComment-4440442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great work, Boudan! Those Lamenters are looking brilliant.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Well done on the most recent completions! Man, my 2nd vow is really dragging, but I'm getting there. No more than another two weeks at worst I think. I am scaling back my plans for vow #3 considerably though Glad to see others are "representing". @Boudan - that's cool, I didn't know you were a lawyer in real life too. I remember well the days of first opening my own practice 8 years ago. I am impressed that you are able to get ANY painting done at this time ... during that period of my life (my children were also much younger then than they are now) I was completely out of the hobby and didn't have time to start getting back in until about 5 years ago.
