Brothers in Black, shelve your swords, we will require wooden sticks. Bolters are to be loaded with plastek bullets only.

The Crimson Fists require practice at war. They goad us and we will accept that challenge.

But practice weapons only, we don't want to hurt them.

Excellent stuff all around. :tu:

 

Sorry for not being very present these past few days. Need to get into the rhythm of my new job and then I'll be around a bit more. :)

[Lythronax]

Progress at last!



Yellow is done, just need to do everything else now! Hopefully shouldn't take too long as I have a few more things lined up for future vows...

[Dosjetka]

Looking good! Is that a metallic base coat with some kind of yellow wash/glaze?

[Dosjetka]

+ List updated. +

 

Thank you for your pateince, brothers and sisters. I shall do my best to increase my presence here. Oh, and welcome to the two new participants! :tu:

Thanks! It's Leadbelcher drybrushed with ironbreaker and necron compound, followed by a couple of washes with casandora yellow and then glazed with lamenters yellow. Takes ages waiting for each wash to dry, but as I can only paint in short bursts anyway it tends to work out quite well.

I feel your pain brother... You and I use similar schemes.

[Dosjetka]

Nice! The result looks neat. :tu:

My painting has been foiled by midweek magnet madness again. Ah well, at least on the upside some of the models I've been magnetizing yesterday and today will end up in subsequent vows :P Two additional BT terminators are mostly done, unless I decide to do highlighting on them... really rather undecided on that I must say. There's just something rather appealing to deep matter black ;) Regardless, it still leaves further 3 BT terminators, 1 librarian and 6 CF terminators to finish in my first vow. Ugh.

[lionofjudah]

Will try and finish my tacticals this eve.

Big week of ordering for me as I've an Atrapos and a warhound to add to the armory and both should be here next week... And they're assembled for ease of painting ...:)!

[Kisada]

Nearly done ... some final highlights, weathering, then matte sealer.

 

Nervous about the weathering ... never done it before ... debated between sponge type or a painted type I found on youtube (Dr Faust Imperial Fist https://youtu.be/cj3hS7vUIo4)

They look so clean and pretty! Not to worry you but I am quite worried about the weathering aspect of my Fists, due to try it out soon.

[Dosjetka]

Need some tips and tricks for weathering, folks? I'll be glad to share some if you need them. :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

@ PeterH: that's a very interesting colour scheme, there buddy! I like it! Will you do a lot of them in the future and do you have a WiP thread?

 

@ Kisada: Omnomnom. Those are looking delicious. ;)

I'll take any tips you got :)

Ditto.

[mccaptain]

@Dosjetka: Thanks for the invite to the painting comp. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise. I've got another Ironclad sitting on the shelf waiting to be painted, so I'll probably get that in as my second vow in a day or so.

 

@everyobe else: Your models are looking awesome! Keep up the great work.

I'll do my best to get some stuff up this weekend. :tu:

You're welcome! Looking forward to seeing your next vow!

Thank you! I must confess it was inspired by some other metallic yellow fists I saw on here a while ago, with a few alterations. I'm not planning a lot more - I've already got a few others in that scheme (breachers and Polux mostly - going for a mostly shields theme). I am going to add some phalanx warders and a contemptor, but not sure after that. I'd love a caestus but I don't know if the metallic technique would translate to large vehicles, particularly as I don't use an airbrush.

 

No WIP thread, but maybe now's the time to set one up.

[Dosjetka]

I'd love to see some of your other stuff. And I wouldn't worry too much about not having an airbrush. A good quality large flat brush can work wonders, too. :tu:

[tvih]

I'm a bit worried about making CF vehicles, with the large flat surfaces. My past experiences with brushing on large flat surfaces haven't been so good :P I reckon I need at least one CF Rhino, and maybe a Predator & Storm Talon, since I already have one of each for BT and one of each unpainted. Additionally a drop pod I guess. I suppose I could also make the second LRC/LRR into CF, but I'm not sure how much play it'd see anyway. I wish they made LRs better sometime :(

 

I suppose I could add one CF vehicle to the next vow to try it out. Probably start with the Rhino or Drop Pod.

[JAG Templar]

I, JAG Templar, vow on the honour of the Black Templars to fully paint at least one Chaplain and two Stormtalons with Skyhammer Missiles from Codex Soace Marines, and worth 320 points by Saturday 3rd December 2016. I promise to provide at least one "start" picture and a final "vow completed" picture in that time. I vow to bring honour to Dorn and the Emperor by completing my vow and not failing my brothers-in-arms.

If you plan to use Pedro Kantor at any point start doing drop pods. They sync well with the sternguard that you will almost certainly bring to take advantage of PK's tactics.
