+++E Tenebrae Lux V - Realm of Chaos Strategium+++

[BrotherJim]

That's not a bad idea Kierdale! Right up my alley. :)

I was worried the ghouls wouldn't be big enough, but smashing a few together could work a treat! Hmmm I even considered using them as cultist... Thanks for the idea!

[gaurdian31]

Knights are done!

Chaos Knight Errant:

Renegade Knight:

Not sure what to do for a vow 4 yet. Will think on it over the weekend.

Excellent Guardian, excellent! Just remember to make a clear statement of completion - not just for the units but for the vow!

OK, so let's see what the Weekly update holds for you guys...

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Ah, I see. Well then, Vow 3 Complete!

(Per Augustus' post added pics )

....with the pictures in the same post. Better to edit the post with the pictures into saying you completed your vow. :tu:

[BadSanta]

And my Chaos Heldrake is ready to roast!

Next stop - 20 man cultists squad...

 

[Iron Skull Mask]

Man that base looks... brutal! Awesome work!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! That heldrake looks absolutely fricking fantastic!!! Congrats on an awesome completion!

[Razblood]

Amazing Gentlemen, simply amazing :tu: 

 

But I have a question.......anyone heard from Steve? Just occurred to me that he's been a bit quieter this year, though I vaguely remember seeing him say something about not being able to plough through as much this year earlier in the thread :confused:

[Augustus b'Raass]

Not heard from him at all. Let's all PM him. :tu:

[Dragonlover]

Started on the Kytan. I'm basically pretending it's a giant Marine or I'll never get it done.

Finally got some models finished. Not to mention I'll have all next week off that I plan to use to finish up my vow.

Steve said he had some stuff come up and had to abandon plans for 15000 this year right?

SEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE

[Plaguecaster]

Dammit I've painted everything but I still can't get It looking the way I want good thing I didn't vow more :D I promise I'll eventually get it done just need to watch heaps of tutorials on painting bone and flesh

[totgeboren]

Yay my Berzerkers, vow I finally done!

Not to derail the thread, but as many of you know I tend to be a rather conservative Word Bearer player, but I had a long look at the helmets of the Blood Warriors and figured that I kinda like their Batman-style. (Was thinking of giving them fully enclosed fronts.)

Then I figured that Berzerkers are probably the most metal thing in 40k, when I saw this handsome face.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i95/totgeboren40/Daemons/face.jpg

And that face, oh all the pieces came together! Metal, Batman, that mouth, Berzerkers... it's Batmetal!

(Though Batmetal Returns is better, but not as Khorne!)

So I had to paint them black and yellow, which I pushed to black and gold, which is... Black Legion I guess? This is how they ended up anyway.

Pics of the parts where I did some GS work can be seen here. Sadly no pics without paint.

Since I am about to start painting their leader (who will go in the same colours) I might take the time to issue my second ETL vow.

I, totgeboren rise once more to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

1 Chaos Lord, Veteran of the Long War, Spineshiver Blade, bolt pistol, Mark of Khorne, Sigil of Corruption.

From Codex: Black Legion of total value 135 pts on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to Black Legion and the Lord of Skulls and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

[Teetengee]

@Teutonic: What colours do you want your flesh and bone?

 

@Totgeboren: Where can I find close-ups of those lovely berzerkers?

[totgeboren]

@Totgeboren: Where can I find close-ups of those lovely berzerkers?

I added one to the post, and added some additional ones here.

Guess I could have expected that people would want to have a closer look at them. They did turn out pretty nice I think. :)

[Doctor Perils]

In the name of the Dark Gods, this vow is done. (Oh and it's worth 623 points with the change to Nurgle for the Warpsmith since you said I could change it Cpt Semper)

I might do some touch ups eventually on some bits and bobs (I'm not too much of a fan of the warp effects on the Tzeentch Sorceror (my namesake), and I wouldn't mind painting the octeds on the Apostle in brass/copper, but I think they're already pretty good as things stand

[Dragonlover]

I was all hyped to paint more, then I ate and it made me sleepy. This is not optimal.

 

Dragonlover

[Augustus b'Raass]

@ totgeboren: congrats on the finish, mate. Those berzerkers are inspired!

 

@ Lord Thørn: Great finish, there! Will you make a revow?

 

@ dragonlover: Compose yourself, man!! The gods are thirsty and all you do is eat? Shame on you! ;)

[Razblood]

Love Batmetal! Love those Berzerkers!!! 

[Doctor Perils]

@ Lord Thørn: Great finish, there! Will you make a revow?

 

Yes I will be revowing. After all, I have vowed my soul to Chaos, and my contract is not yet finished :devil: I'll have to reflect on what's next, but there'll probably be a Maulerfiend and some possessed coming up. I'll be experimenting with a different colour scheme to avoid burn out :) (you might think ten painted models is light before burn out, but this is positively light speed for me :P)

[Dragonlover]

I have powered through my lethargy! The Gods will not take my soul this eve!

Greetings! I am very pleased to announce the completion of my vow! Really happy with the finished product. I wanted to thank everyone, if not for participating in the ETL, and receiving some fraterly advice and support along the way, I don't think I would have been able to complete the army. Even just checking in on everyone's progress has really helped me stay on target. Not to mention the last set of WIP shots I posted, during my darkest hour of defeat, I think I got 16 likes! That's awesome! Really helped to spur me on! It's been great but quite a stretch for me to stay focused on one thing for so long.

So now I can proudly present to you The Plague Force Virulent Malador, The Creeping Death, The Scourge of The Imperium, and my finest work.

As ever I reserved the right to finish it more later. But it's done for now. The beast is dead.

Very impressive work Brother Jim - they look fantastic! Very, very impressed! Congratulations!

Not heard from him at all. Let's all PM him.

Let's be discrete, the guy may have real life constraints - we need to be mindful of that. Don't worry - he knows where to find us, it's steve we're talking about here! ;)

Excellent Tanks - this is a mighty vow and with that the completion rate of Chaos is boosted to north of 30%! Very, very impressive!

(also had to edit-out some pics - I exceeded the allowed pics per post level) :D

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Beachymike123]

These completions are looking great guys. I just have the Spawn to complete now, which are all basecoated. Should be done in the net couple of days. The Berzerkers are done for ETL purposes, their new bases are here I just haven't gotten round to them yet.
