Great job there!

 

Not a fan of the model, but you've made it look good.

 

My favourite chaplain model is the one in my avatar. Can't get him anymore though :(

Original plan was to do some conversions with a lotd model. Unfortunately time and money meant I had to go this route for now. Which tbh I don't mind I'm glad another local GW regular gave me the backpack. Adds a bit of flare!

Chaplain complete! Only thing I really want do to the model now is try and get some Blood for the Blood God in the eyes... :)
Now I really have to shake a leg on those 2 drop pods... I have to admit I am not sure I'll get 1 let alone both done in 2 weeks.

I can't help but feel like that chaplain would make a cool Librarian conversion.

I feel like that's a combination of the pose (to a degree) but more importantly the Mk III armor. It looks suitably ancient/knightly/different to fit well with the Librarian esthetic I think. That and of course the chain-bound book. :yes:

So more procrastination instead of eating my vegetables...

Turns out I need to paint nearly all my BDC! Yay...haha

Fortunately some of them are at least 3 colour minimum so worst case scenario I can play them.

Oh and everything needs to be based...

Double oh, they all need their RG shoulder pads too..

I've almost finished my first panel!

Just have the left fin to do.

Which would take completion time on this one at approx ~3.5hrs. So nearly half of what the original one took.

3 left after this one + the next DP! Haha

Ha yes its kinda like that isn't it. Fortunately I only have 3 total and only need 1 more painted for my tournament.

I have tried batch painting with this pattern on my infantry. It doesnt work so well. As its easy to lose track and given the amount of work required you lose motivation as it takes so long to see a final product.

Fortunately the larger brushes have made my life somewhat easier. :)

So looks like the event is over for me. I wont get the second pod done at this time.

For a break I will start on my bikes and infantry. :)

Stay tuned!

So now the challenge is over time to start on my BDC

I assessed all my models today.

Fortunately it looks like at bare minimum there is only 12 models that aren't at least 3 colour minimum + the 2nd drop pod. So worst case scenario my army should be painted come the event!

However out of the 30 odd models that make up my BDC. Only 5 are fully painted... so time to get cracking!

I had some time today to get the ball rolling.

I started with getting the eyes on my models done. The white on a sgt helmet and skin tone base colours.

The plan will be the same as I have previously done.

Given the time it takes my models I find the task less daunting if I batch paint to a 3 colour minimum getting most the big details done first.

After that I go one by one and complete the camo on each.

First squad to be fully complete will be my Bikes. :)

More updates to follow

Edit: Now with proof. ;)

So I am now a firm believer in 1hr a night.

It seems to slowly chip away the painting queue. Obviously a whole weekend to get extra stuff done too never hurts. ;)

Meanwhile I don't know why I keep doing white the hard way... My concern at this point is that I'm so far committed to pure white. To do the off white, whites now would look odd... ohwell

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

So table top ready with the bikes. With the progress I've made on them I think I will take these all the way through to completion with the camo.

So now to do the camo and detailing one by one. Ill give myself 2 weeks for this?

Then back to infantry.

Nearly finished my bike sgt! Just need to do the highlighting once the wash is dry. :)

Looks like its about 2-3hrs worth of camo work. I think I'm ok with that.

Comparison to a half completed model

So despite being somewhat distracted by the hulking baneblade that is currently in my house. I did manage to finish my biker sgt. Im really happy with how it turned out. Although to get to this point is probably an additional 3-5hrs...

Worth it though. ;)

Thx!

 

I have 5 weeks until my first major event.

 

That's 35 days to complete 24 infantry / bikes,1 drop pod, 2 dozer blades and 2 assault cannons...

That's nearly a model per day...

+ Basing ...

Lets see how I go!
