Tyriks Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I haven't had much free time (or desire to paint) lately, but I will start out small and see what happens. I added some bits and a basecoat since this pic but my camera is a hassle so I would rather not bother taking a new picture atm (but if I need to I will, let me know). I, Tyriks, rise to the challenge of From Rage to Salvation and vow to complete a counts-as Mephiston on or before November 30th, 2016. Should I bring honour to the Stormbloods I will proudly wear the IRATUS DOMINUS badge; should I fail I will display the CARCERES IRA on my chest as a reminder of my shame. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/Tyriks/IMG_1155_zpsosq7dhka.jpg Damon Nightman and Jolemai 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier of Dorn Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Tyriks: That's a neat looking model mate, very eager to see it painted up. Noserenda: Lovely choom, mate. Almost didn't notice the assault cannons on the Levi at first, but they look good too. Right. I've dilly-dallied long enough. My vow will get paint tonight. :) Tyriks and Noserenda 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slothysaur Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 First Meltacide entry - glad to see the new Supplement hasn't put you off All the best. Oh not at all, they've just moved from a great value to a good value in my eyes. On another note, I'm having much more difficulty than I should trying to post the picture. Mainly due to a phone that is vastly outdated, I'll have access to a computer soon to get the vow picture up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I just realized that 5-man meltacide with jump packs costs the same as 5 Scions with 2 melta guns. Definitely still good value. Even with a pod they stack up well against other meltacide options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Alright, finally started on my vow. It's not much, but it's something. Basecoat, drybrush, wash. Could be better I suppose.

mandaloriano Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hello everyone. Well after a long hiatus, here I am again. I could not complete my first vow in the previous ETL, so here I am as one of the lost. The current state of my vow is as follows: The chaplain and Vanguard Veterans are almost finished, just need to paint the bases. The death company on the other hand is only primed. I assume that in a few days the i will finish the vanguard vets and the chaplain. Then I upload pictures of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyriks Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Mephiston is done. These pics are a little old, in that I fixed the purity seal on his right leg. I'm mostly happy with it, but I'll be touching it up in the future, I'm sure. I really like the look of Khorne red washed in Nuln oil but in the future I will do my highlighting before washing it, since fixing highlighting mistakes on this was a huge pain because I washed it first. Whoops. I also just realized he has a gem on his stomach I didn't paint. I'll try to decide what to pledge next, since I have tons of stuff to paint... Pic 1 http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/Tyriks/IMG_1162_zps89v9dl5q.jpg I was going for the look of his face being shrouded in shadows because of the hood, but his glowing eyes are illuminating it a little. It didn't turn out great. There are like 4 shades of blue in there but the space is so small they just all blended together. I will try again down the road, but not now. Pic 2 http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/Tyriks/IMG_1165_zpsnc52mlbf.jpg This is probably how I will paint all my librarians - normal scheme, but right arm is blue. I do not like having a blue model as part of my red army, so I'm not into the normal librarian scheme. I might do something similar with other specialty units, instead of painting the helmets different. Pic 3 http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee443/Tyriks/IMG_1169_zps20hsz0aw.jpg This was also my first attempt at using the Blood for the Blood God technical paint. I originally tried to paint a smear of blood across the blade, as though he had severed some limb, but it didn't look right, so I went with this instead, and I guess he impaled someone. None of my pics of the left arm were in focus, apparently (my camera is really nice but it seems like it is only really intended for landscapes, so between that and lighting I'm having a hard time taking good pics, sorry), but it is the same as the right but all black.That's how the whole army will be. Edit: I forgot, but I found my list of character names, and this guy is Asher Ultan, chief librarian of the Stormbloods.

Damon Nightman Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Looks great man! I don't like all blue librarians (just don't like it with my scheme) so I was thinking of just doing a blue arm and you have convinced me with mephiston here! Does he have a helm on under the hood or did you just make it look like you could only see his glowing eyes under the shadowy hood? (I'm on my phone and can't see the pic perfectly) Edit: should have read your full post... I think you pulled it off!

Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just an update to keep me going: Went to breakfast with my Father-in-Law; then after I got back to the house, grabbed a brush. I feel like I've gotten some real brush stroke goodness done. Just waiting on the first layer of basing to dry on Astorath's Base. Did some edge highlighting which takes super long! but otherwise he's bout 80% complete! Pictures to come later in the day! Cheers!

Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Astorath complete. Don't judge too harshly on this one brothers, he was extremely hard to paint I kept feeling like I bolloxed him up. Painting metal miniatures, the paint just doesn't fit the same way.
