And that, right there ^ was the greatest exchange of Fraters I have been waiting for.

Progress update for my second vow.  Finished with the Dreadnought itself, and moving on to the arms now.  Here's where we sit:

Thanks for looking. 

 

IF I can get this mini finished up by the end of the month (doubtful, but we'll see), I'll try and make one final Vow on a character model, namely Mephiston, the Lord of Death.  Not going to make the vow as I don't want to make it unless I know for a fact I'll be able to complete the vow without incident.  I've got a very busy few weeks coming up.  Shouldn't curtail this Vow's completion by August 15 unless something dire happens. 

 

Thanks for looking.  More updates to come soon.  Take it easy for now folks. :)

Clean and sharp painting on the Dread RT!

[Arkaniss]

Managed to fit in some more 40K time last night so here is a WIP shot of the Baal. Usual apologies for the bad light (was taken late) and blurry photo (camera phone):

Also somehow snapped off one of the sponson post bits inside the support platform too which was particularly clever. No idea how I did that! Hopefully the repair job will hold up.

[Jolemai]

Vow complete

I, Jolemai, Reclusiarch of the Blood Angels forum and first of his name, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one Blood Angels Contemptor Dreadnought with a twin-linked lascannon and meltagun from Imperial Armour Apocalypse of total value 215 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.

[Boudan]

Vow #4 Complete.

I'm off on a week's vacation starting friday, so no Vow #5 until the end of the month.  Keep up the great work, Fraters!

[CaptainHelion]

Mmmmmm, love those checks, Boudan! Have a great holiday, you've really earnt it.

[Captain Semper]

Well done Jolemai and Boudan! The BAs are becoming stronger and stronger! 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Charlo]

Ohhhh I love that Predator!

[Arkaniss]

It is a great paint job and a nice yellow! Had to do a double take of the writing on the scroll... I thought it said Batman :P

Same here!

[SM1981]

Productive evening last night. Now the Librarian and Chaplain to go!

[Boudan]

The lettering it so janky it might as well say that. I was done though. BATMAN!

[Lucumon]

Vow Complete!

Not sure if/when I will get another vow in given the timing... and I am beginning work on a Saint Tylus Defense force (Of which the old school DC Chaplain will be a stand in) with 4 Stormtalons to compliment Angel's Fury.   7 flyers, turn 1, surprise!

[The4thHorseman]

Gonna try to finish my vow this week or next, when I get some time off work. Also got stuff ready for an intense painting session for vow 2.

[evildrcheese]

Of my 3k vow, I've got 10 termies, a contemptor, Libby dread, 1 Storm Raven and the rhino of the command tank set to do.

 

It's gonna be sooo close!

[LutherMax]

Rooting for you EDC!

[Grazcruzk]

Reporting in! I got a vow done! Here are some pictures:

All together now! I've got some close ups that I will post in my wip thread later on.

 

Keep it up, everyone!

[Charlo]

Veeeeery nice Gaz!

 

Our armies would look amazing together on the table. Black and red with white and red :D

[LutherMax]

They look great! Love the grimy grittiness!

[Damon Nightman]

such an awesome scheme, looking great!

 

Any advice for how you did the weathering?

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Veeeeery nice Gaz!

Our armies would look amazing together on the table. Black and red with white and red

... and a dash of mustard and a sprinkle of purple for good measure

[Grazcruzk]

Cheers, everyone! Brother Lemartes I was experimenting hard pastel sticks. I watched a tutorial video on youtube that talked about being able to scrape dust off of them with the flat edge of an xacto blade. Basically making your own weathering powder. That can be picked up with a brush and applied however you like. I kind of stippled it on with a drybrush. I used lahmian medium over the top because it's what I have but I think there may be better ways to set it.

[Captain Semper]

You're now past the 50% completion rate! :woot:

 

The commitment of the BAs is exemplary - congratulations guys, if only your rivals with their significant resources had demonstrated the same commitment...

 

Bravo!

Aye, Brother.

We come in many colours, but we are all the Sons of The Angel! And none can stay our wrath.

... Especially when I comes to completions it seems!*
