Marqol Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Oh crap, I've been working on my Bloodthirster so much I forgot the deadline was so close! ARGH! This is why consorting with Daemons and not chaining them into weapons is bad! But as Binary says, you can do it! There is still time!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I think I'm out for this event. I tried spraying red over the orange paint on the Farseer and not only did it come out way too dark, but a clogging mishap with the airbrush had a big blast of paint cover the helmet and even cleaning off what I could, it still dried so thick that it was obscuring details. So, I tried to strip the figure and trying to get paint off of a lot of green stuff is iffy and I came up snake eyes when I rolled those dice - several pieces came loose or swelled up and look like crap now.

fisheyedbunny Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That sucks man, hopefully the powers that be will allow you a pass due to unforeseen circumstances, I seen that there was a provision for someone unable to complete a model if you still update at the end of the month cycle. For the next pledge I am going to be super cheeky and tie it in with my Ultramarine pledge and put forward the following: One Primaris Captain in Gravis One squard of 5 Plasma Primaris One Deredeo And the rearm pledge will be a Contemptor Dread currently in transit from the Imperial Fists chapter, soon to be repurposed for a much better looking yellow chapter of marines Trixie and Marqol 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/9/#findComment-4817630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisheyedbunny Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Same thing I do fisheye. Only difference is I airbrush the yellow (averland sunset) over black primer then a fine detail brush and Mephiston red for the other quarter. I feel like such a moron, only noticed GW do Mephiston Red and Averland Sunset in Air form, promtply ordered for doing the dreads. Got the Tau colours last week as well so could have been well ahead of the game binary 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/9/#findComment-4817853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wary of assigning them a regiment because my Guard were going to be were I experiment (hence the Scratch-Company idea), but I'm curious for Codex: Space Marines to get an idea of how the sub-factions will be done, i.e. what's the codex language on 'counts-as'. http://i.imgur.com/Jtcunwnm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/iMFk1yHm.jpg?1 I've become more patient over time and it shows in the leg fabric vs the arm fabric; more subtle and less blocky shading and highlighting.

gianlucafiorentini123 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Managed to get my vow completed even if it was in a bit of a rush and not to my usual standard probably due to not having properly painted since last years ETL. http://i.imgur.com/KFfT8TI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5EAM1VC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/n3QXpDW.jpg I think next month I'll be looking to try and sort my airbrush out before I embark on any more serious projects I hadn't realised how much I'd come to rely on it.

Warsmith Uveron Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 IMPORTANT NOTE! Because of problems with my job.. (I am not getting the weekend of as planed, and going to live on a rig without the internet). I will most likely not get to updating my spreadsheet until Monday Afternoon (USA Oklahoma time). As such I will give everyone an extension to the 17th to get month 1's stuff finished. BUT Month 2 will start on the 15th! use your time wisely.

Could you strip the model completely and start again? I have personally seen acetone dissolve plastic bases and superglue so I'm pretty sure it would do the same to an epoxy putty.

There are still small things to do on them all and I need to do the bases but otherwise they're mostly done. Comments and Critism is very much welcome, I'm not a great painter but I'm getting better.

Trixie Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) If it's legit to call a vow complete whilst waiting for delivery of microsol and a basemaking roll pin then I would like to call my first vow of 5 marines complete (and a bonus of an extra 5 completed as well just because =D) http://i.imgur.com/hXJnlDt.jpg Barring a few touchups on scratches and spills, the brushwork on these is complete. Hopefully the rest of my goodies will arrive early next week and I can churn out a few bases with a greenstuff world rolling pin and add the transfers.

The first Primaris of the Ash Walkers chapter, of the Ultima Founding, is ready to deploy to the battlefield. Barely wrapped him up in time due to my work, but glad I could!

Dantay VI Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think I managed to stick within the theme of finishing a unit that had already been started Well I have finally got them 100% done now. Highlighted up the brass and found because I had used the same base for the gold, then the gold merged into the brass, so re-did the gold and did some finishing off and tidy-up work. I also tried my hand at a spot of story writing, but it is really rough and I am not much of a story-teller. Hope you like. Why us? Why not us? But we are not an honour guard or a police unit, why have we been selected to lead the way on Prospero? Things have changed. How so? This is no longer a simple arrest of the witch Magnus. This is.... More. The Emperor changed the orders? No. The Emperor never changes his mind, he sees the path tat needs to be followed. So, Horus then? Aye, the Warmaster. This has gone from Censure to prosecution. Are you sure? The Warmaster is now our High Lord, he speaks with the voice of the Emperor. What if Lupercal is wrong? We still follow our orders or we become as flawed as the Sons. My question remains... Why us? Because we are the best? 20170714_202748 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202922 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202928 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202933 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr Snorri No Snorri, that is not why. Because we have killed Astartes before, and we will not baulk from doing it again? 20170714_202800 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202807 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202815 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202823 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr Leif It is true, Leif, but not the reason why.

We have stood alongside the Thousand Sons before. Russ needs to know his Wolves are his to command. That we will not turn against the pack. 20170714_202723 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202942 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202947 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202953 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr Thorin Haelf-hand Aye Thorin Haelf-Hand it is what is in my mind too. Then let us show our Russ, that our fangs are sharp and our wits equally so. We have a Primarch to slay, let none slay our hand. Recon pack Bjorn, were instrumental in the early stages of the War on Prospero. Tasked with infiltrating ahead of the main battle foce Hvarl unleashed his recon packs to gather intelligence and sow confusion amongst the Prosperine ranks. 20170714_202707 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202837 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202844 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr 20170714_202851 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr Pack leader Bjorn Bjorns pack were also tasked with tracking down Magnus and bringing him low. They did not succeed intheir ultimate goal, however they were the key to survival for many of Hvarls packs. Able to identify warp gates and areas of ambush, Bjorns team were able to launch counter ambushes or surprise attacks, allowing stranded Wolves to escape. 20170714_202638 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr The Pack Their tactics were so ruthlessly successful that a cadre of Thousand Sons from the order of the blind were solely tasked to hunting Bjorn and his pack. Ultimately they survived the Maelstrom which was Prospero, and were later dispersed amongst other packs to pass on their hard-fought knowledge in fighting brother Astartes.
