Pyroclast91 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 made some progress on the dreads tonight but I feel like I've hit a wall with my shield dreads. The armour paneling just seems too plain too me and though I plan to use a lot of that space for some freehanding it just strikes me as missing something. I could really use some input I this area. Current Status of Dreadnoughts in progress^^^^ while scratching my head trying to figure out my armour dilemma I finally broke out the GS which for some reason I've been avoiding and started making lenses , drake hides, and one of the shields drake emblems. Then I did another test fit on the contemptor as I'll be painting him and Iram this weekend. Speaking of the contemptor I've still yet to figure out a name? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. while test fitting said contemptor I realized something that's crossed my mind several times before.... I really don't like the conversion beamer :( so it's either gonna get chopped and converted or I'll try to find someone who wants a beamer and has... Pretty much any other contemptor arm ;) So ideas for what I could convert that ugly pile of tv antenna into would be awesome. I hope you are all having a productive week... well besides you Kurama you're already too productive ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325762-a-tale-of-20-hobbyists-2016/page/23/#findComment-4558648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Commander Eidolon Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Well, I've been plugging along with this guy, in between some Thousand Sons!! Not boding well with these distractions..... Still, it looks like we are having a major pink fest here!! This is inspired by Obscura's use of Kakophoni, my take on 'Otiartes' Von Kalda from the Path of Heaven; he hasn't quite gone bad yet, but you can see the rot has started.... http://i64.tinypic.com/6sgnqf.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/2s1xd8i.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/rc7gr6.jpg Still a little more work, I mean a base would help...

SW1 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I'm going to do a second model this month. Terminator - heavy flamer and power fist with auxiliary meltagun - 60 points. Need to get my black down a bit better before I do a multi-model vow.

SW1 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Seem to have got into the painting groove and knocked out the termie in record time. Really need to source some black undercoat spray and blast a load of models. Longest part of the paint job is waiting for 2 nuln oil washes to dry. I've got just a single model sprayed black (Librarian) so I think that will get tackled next. Though that'll be more blue than black? Or I might just do the chest blue? Or all blue with a sliver arm?

mactire Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Ok, proper vow. I Mactire pledge for the 20 hobbyists to complete a LandRaider Crusader, with multi-melta and hunter-killer missile, for a total of 270pts, before the 30th of November.

Obscura Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Kurama, I hate you. Paint my guys next. As for my progress, it's been rather minimalistic lately since everyone in my city seems to be losing their :cuss over the current elections. There are two Helos circling about half a mile west of my current position, neighbors nearby are yelling and gathering in protest. I at least got more shading done on my Primus and Contemptor?

Obscura Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I just don't like painting these days, I'd rather build/convert. After painting 40k worth of Orks ( when Apocalypse was incredibly active where I lived ) I kind of got burnt out on painting. Though I will say this event is helping me get on track again. I'll hopefully be able to post up a little more progress sometime tonight. If you ever come to the US and decide to muck about in CA, you can crash at my place, you just have to paint an army :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325762-a-tale-of-20-hobbyists-2016/page/23/#findComment-4559389 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW1 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hmmm ... I've been taking a blade and clippers to Ahriman from the Prospero box. He's now rocking a DW pad and there's a lot less t'sons bling on him. Need to trim a bit more before the gs gets cracked out and the fun begins. Not sure which chapter he's goin to be rocking from?

codyrstuart Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Everything looks great so far guys!

Brother Argent Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Brother SP's Update - 2.2 This Week: Okay so progress has been remarkably slow. Enthusiasm has been hard to come by as I enjoy the roller coaster of being put on meds by the doc. The first four days of the Month gave me nothing, thus no first weekly update. The following week has resulted in this: Regardless as of this moment I should be finishing the third guy of the squad but as it stands he is only undercoated. Still, progress is progress. Next Week: So I hope for a blitz of enthusiasm and energy this week (miracles have been known to happen) and complete hopefully the last three guys of the assault squad. I also hope to actually keep up to date with monthly updates this time around. And at some stage finish my Chaplain conversion. Turns out the sternguard backpack topper bit I intended to use for his crozius I have already used... oh well, I guess I can find something else.

SW1 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Why do you only spot bits you've missed when you post pics ... The black had more definition just the lighting messing up the pic. Can't believe I missed finishing the paper on the purity seal. :( The conversion work is getting a bit more fun ... What chapter should he become and what should top his staff?

Rangaman Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Good to see everyone is churning out the work, and a battle of the pink marines seems to be ongoing!

Chaplain Raeven Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 SW1 - Nice conversion!! Is he getting used as a Librarian? If so, Blood Ravens are always a good choice. With armour that they 'borrowed' from Ahriman's personal wardrobe.
