On a related note, does anyone know a good way to weigh down the base of that metal raptor? He's a little top heavy lol. My usual go-to of gluing a nickel in there won't work because the metal support strut :/

 

Have you got the bits of metal sprue left over ? sometimes they can help I've heard, but it might not be quite enough.

 

It might be possible to stick some metal bits on top of the base itself and use them as part of the basing ?

 

 

Sounds like a plan, I'll give it a try. Worst case scenario he's less awful. Gonna jam some copper wire in there too for added heft.

Honestly, I use pennies for top heavy models :P Glue a few of them to the bottom of the base and you're golden.

 

So, apparently I made a drunken penance vow a few pages back. I have had a super busy past few days (as well as biking around 18 miles a day for fitness related stuff) so I did not complete said drunken penance vow in the time allotted. I should have everything base coated and shaded in short order, but a failure is a failure(regardless of my mental faculties at the time :lol: ) So Semper, you get to choose my Avatar image and signature until January 1, 2017 :rolleyes: Oh boy...

Progress so far.

I had hoped to get the Lord of Skulls finished by last weekend but, unfortunately, life got in the way.

Now I'm away on holiday, so they'll be languishing incomplete on my painting table for the next two weeks.

Beautiful stuff there MyDaemonCallista! Look forward for your holidays to be over (to see your progress and because I'm dead evil and I want to see people's holidays end! :devil: )

It's the codpiece, isn't it?

Chicks love the codpiece.

Or perhaps it's simply my huge organ. Would you like a tootle on it?

med_gallery_63428_9407_645277.jpg

...it plays Destroyer Jive.

I'm still working on my second vow, but have completed construction of the model for my third vow:

med_gallery_63428_9407_90481.jpgmed_gallery_63428_9407_215638.jpgmed_gallery_63428_9407_334718.jpg

A TDA version of my chaos lord Sophusar, counting as Typhus: armed with the ManreaperFalx Horrificus, Destroyer Hive Jive, a good ol' book of sorcery (ML2), a deep enjoyment of pain (FNP. Hey, he's a lord of Slaanesh) and he turns my Slaangor cultists into plague zombies entranced nutters. Oh and he has a load of severed ears on that chain.

Captain Semper, will this be ETL-acceptable for my third vow when I get around to it?

So you want a Terminator Lord of Slaanesh to "count-as" the most iconic Terminator Lord of the Death Guard and one of the most significant Dramatis Personae of the 40 lore? Ok then. :D The rule of cool alone would dictate my reply but the miniature seems to be of the same basic size, stance and complexity. Go for it sir!

I, B E N, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

  • Chaos Lord (Pair of Lightning Claws, Jump Pack, MoK) - 120 pts
  • Sorcerer (MoS) - 75 pts
  • Dark Apostle (MoK) - 115 pts
  • 5x Raptors (Champion: Lighting Claw, 2x Flamers, MoK, IoW) -145 pts

of a total value of 455 points on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to the Black Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

Just a few photos from the campaign weekend at Warhammer World I've just taken part in with some club-mates, you may recognise a few of the things I've been blitzing for the ETL there:

May illustrate why I've not finished my first vow just yet... but we're close!

Cheers Captain! I find my style can be a bit like marmite you either love it or hate it. I learnt to paint towards the end of the Rogue trader era and the beginning of 2nd edition so my style is heavily influenced by that period of clean models and bright colours.

If everyone painted the same the whole hobby would be a boring place to be.

@ Chaeron: Wow, that collection looks great all assembled like that! Excellent work! :)

 

So here's an ETL update from my desk: Some of you may already have seen my first finished model, Calvarax the Exalted, my counts as version of Skulltaker:

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/5/28/803134-Bloodletters%2C%20Calvarax%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Daemonkin%2C%20Daemons%2C%20Herald%2C%20Khorne.JPG

 

More pictures can be found here.

 

I am currently working on the second part of my vow, my Apothecary / counts as Fabius Bile:

There's still quite a bit of work to be done, but at least I am getting somewhere, right? ;)

Keep up the amazing work, everyone! :)

'ello. Figured I'd check in with my updates once more. Nothing too exciting on the WIP front: Huron got some red (though his Hamadrya is finished), and the Land Raider has been getting lots of attention.

 

Beyond that, the real reason I'm here is to drop these off: Finished pictures of my Defiler, and it's glorious (claw-grabbed Cultist for dramatic photograph purposes only).

http://i.imgur.com/7D8cA9Jl.jpg?1http://i.imgur.com/UgwvJ8Il.jpg?1http://i.imgur.com/aOUnCfnl.jpg?1

To be honest, it could still use some touching up in places, but for the most part it's done. Otherwise, I'll be taking a break from my workbench while I'm out of town for a week, then it's back to work. Keep up the fine work, all. Glory to the Dark Gods.

Scourged, that's excellent. Is it made from just one Defiler?

Sadly no, but close. Start with one stock defiler. Then find the means to acquire two more legs, one more claw, and the bottom chassis piece. That bottom chassis piece is just so you can harvest the, uh, "brackets" that house the ball joints of the legs. Stick those on the underside and you have two more mounts to give you six legs. The third claw becomes the tail. I chose not to include the extra arm piece that makes the "elbow" joint for mine, but most do include it when making tails.

 

My main inspiration came from a tutorial on Dakka, though I made plenty of tweaks. The version there harvested pieces from a Soul Grinder instead, and it works quite well for them.

 

But other than those extra limbs (and chassis) all I added extra was some hoses from the Helbrute pack. The flamers in the mouth and gargoyles are just from surplus Rhino bits that I know we all have.

...the plague would be called Dark Lung officially, but those whose eyes were open to the true nature of the epidemic, had other names for the pestilence, names best unsaid. Millions would die before it was contained, and entire levels were quarantined, hampering the efforts of the hive to mobilize. Worse, and we must pray these are naught but the rumors of fear mongers, were reports of putrid beings frolicking in the misery of the epicenter of the plague....

My first unit is done, and they were a blast to paint. I ended up solving my viscera problem with Nurgle's Rot paint, instead of Blood for the Blood God, it seemed more appropriate. When my bases are fully dry, I'll add a little earthshade around the feet, thanks for the suggestions.

 

Now on to my Kranon / disc lord.

Unfortunately its storming out today, and the Carolina humidity does not agree with primer. So, these guys will have to wait to get the paint treatment.

Not sure who makes it but someone in GW was using a paint called 'Black Metal' funnily enough its a metalic black, you should totally use it on these. Oh and dont forget the pink Hello Kitty or Skellanimals guitar straps, they will still look the part dont worry, I play guitar in a Black Metal band and I have a pink strap. :lol:

@ Atia *generic 'nice bottom' comment* that Daemons looking well nice so far.

@Insane Psycopath, those Iron Circle look amazing, Im now tempted at getting some after seeing yours and I dont even play Iron Warriors.
