Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Late in the Boxing Day for me, but here we go. I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch of the Dawn Blades and the Naculan Dynasty vow ten Necron warriors, one 1d4chan-style deathmark emerging from a hyperspace oubliette, and two scarab bases, for the Glory of the Naculan Dynasty and the honor of the Necron subforum. *deep inhale, then exhale* Alright, let's do this. *cracks knuckles* Grotsmasha and Calyptra 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342700-the-boxing-day-bash-2017/page/2/#findComment-4968578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier of Dorn Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Welp, it looks like it'll be mostly a post Boxing Day Bash for me, but anyways...

Grotsmasha Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Well this has been surprisingly fun. One question though - should I post individual pictures for each challenge, or just post a single picture of all three models in whatever state they're in when I tap out? One post, individual pics if you can please :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342700-the-boxing-day-bash-2017/page/2/#findComment-4968652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be too cold in my little studio for painting. Edit: tried to upload the before picture but my Internet keeps messing up. Will keep trying.

Wargamer Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Reinforcements for the Chapter have arrived! Building these guys was a learning experience... for example, I've learned how glad I am to still have some Mk IV Heavy Bolters left! Vow the First: I know he's nothing special, but this is my first pure Corvus Marine - every piece correct, and even the boltgun is an old-school pattern! This is how my Chapter was always meant to look in my head. It's only taken a decade to actually get it represented on the tabletop, but it finally happened! Vow the Second: I hate painting hair. She was meant to be blonde, but it turned out slightly green so she got a sudden injection of Scottish ancestry. Next time, I'll stick to Abaddon Black! Vow the Third: The more I look at this guy, the more things I spot that I need to go back and fix... but my aim was to paint up to tabletop standard so I'm calling him done. I can always go back to him later. :P Dolchiate Remembrancer, Semper Fortis, Grotsmasha and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342700-the-boxing-day-bash-2017/page/2/#findComment-4968728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 So, I guess AoD forum makes sense for an Imperium Secundus Marine. The inspiration for him started like so many projects do: I've bought at least 5 (maybe more) boxes of Sanguinary Guard just for the MkIV jump packs, so I have an annoyingly large stockpile of Blood Angels specific bits. The concept behind this particular Astartes is that he is a Blood Angel stationed on Macragge during the reign of Emperor Sanguinius. I used blue as a spot color throughout, including trim on one shoulder and honor markings on his lighting claw, to tie him in with my Ultramarines who are essentially blue with red spot coloring. In my mind he spent some time stationed as planetary defense for Macragge, so carries a mix of Blood Angels and Ultramarines honors. I also wanted to pay homage to some of the classic studio painted "Eavy Metal" BAs, with almost orange armor, yellow weapons, and cheques. Pics are a little blurry as they were taken at 7am. The base will eventually be replaced with something much more grandiose, but the curing time for putty and glue is too long to pull off in one day.

Warpmiss Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Like I said in the other thread in Amicus Aedes sub, I ended up painting some poxwalkers I had already glued and primed months ago so I don't think those count.

Semper Fortis Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Finished. Guess I really can paint faster than I thought. Please be gentle with any c&c, it surely isn't my best effort. There is still plenty to do on him. Oh, and let's all pretend that he's standing on slushy snow. The pumice just wasn't dry.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Okay, up against the wire, but I'm done. Ten Warriors, one deathmark emerging from a hyperspace oubliette, and two scarab swarms. *phew* Hopefully counts as based; faux rocks and Valhallan Blizzard is the most advanced I've gotten with basing.

Nyx of the Night Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Just before the xenos swarms overran the last of the hastily erected trenches, Brother Duriel of the Deathwatch appeared, his assault cannon pouring molten fire into the creatures, pushing them back. I haven't found a Dark Angels transfer sheet, so I am calling him done. I added a few extra bits (such as ammo ) as I went, and I discovered that the Dark Angel pad I had grabbed was actually a power armor pad, but otherwise all the bits I wanted worked!
