I Spyros rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow (for the third time) to complete:

 

i/    a Land Raider Crusader with additional Multi-melta and Storm-bolter [169] *

ii/   a Whirlwind with a Whirlwind Vengeance Launcher [104]

 

of total value 273 on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end !

 

 
 

 

* You may be wondering about my math since this Crusader should cost 337 points. You'll notice that there's a layer of colour around the frontal assault ramp, and that's why I needed it to open (so it was painted before assembly) so that I can see the painted interior (obviously painted before assembly). Captain Semper allowed this model to enter the competition but at half the cost of points because of the painted interior.

 

Vow completed!

Very satisfied with the total progress, I 've never painted so fast before, and finally made models I 've bought years before...

Excellently done, I do like how they've turned out :) Hopefully when I finally get around to doing my Land Raiders they will be just as good :)

Congratulations! Looking really good for your first ever completed model :) It's very neat and your metallics appear quite accomplished - how did you do the red effect on the gun barrel?

Also, did you enjoy painting it and will we get to see anymore of your work in the future?

I bet you'll finish first. I couldn't remove the base safely, and I didn't want to lose time because of the time limit. The few extra millimeters in height will help distinguish him from other DC members.

So guys I'm going to have to fall on my sword and accept the label of oath breaker.

 

I'm not going to get done by the 31st. A lot has been going on with work and also some family events that have quite bluntly needed my attention more than 40k. The Deredeo's and Predator will be done but the Leviathan isn't even out its pack yet.

 

Sorry to let you all down and keep up the good work everyone else.

Don't worry about it :)

 

RL is more important and it's not like you've not tried or bitten off more than you can chew. Unexpected things happen but you've given it a go and that's what counts :)

 

Oh, and the Death Company Sally forth in September ;)

Models look great and for most of us, they are complete already :smile.: Perhaps consider doing the Knight now and finishing the detail later? Only two days to knock out a Knight is... well... it's a baalsy play to say the least. All the best on the completion :thumbsup:

 

 

Yesterday ended up being a long painting session and after the previous update I did just that; got a few hours in on the Knight and now the base colour scheme is in place.

 

I have to add washes, extra blending, highlights, basing etc. but a big chunk of the painting is done.

The main thing I'm trying to decide now is whether or not to go ahead with the tiger stripes. Might just put them on the top plate and 'shoulders' and see how that looks.

 

 

Do the best you can! Go for the stripes!

Deadline is not July 31st but on Aug 1st. Not sire if this will make a difference, I just want you to have this in mind.

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Vow Complete.

When I started this model I had a vision of doing a proper captain smash.

I went back and forth on how I wanted his hammer to be positioned, as well as what color scheme I wanted to do. I ultimately decided on red encase I ever wanted to run him as a VV or non DC cappy.

The Thunder hammer is a cut up DC piece, and the shield is from Vanguard vet bits.

My goal was to be done much much sooner with the option to paint my counts as Mephiston and a TDA librarian or two.

School claimed so much more of my time than I ever thought it would. I've had a 4 day reprieve and been able to finish Calen.

I decided to go with a much paler skin tone, I feel it really reflects the lore I have for Calen being from a different planet than Haldroth.

The base was troublesome because of the pipe that comes with Antero, but I feel like I did it justice without being too distracting from the model as a whole, and it still fits my themes based for my entire army. The transfer on the knee pad gave me some grief. I went through 3 ruined transfers before I gave up on them and went with a red blood drop. I'm happy with the way it turned out, as well as the campaign badge on his right greave.

I hope you all enjoy him, I loved painting him. Now with out further adue, here Re some pictures!

Worth repeating, congrats again Zebulon and looking forward to the Scout Bikers Majkhel :)
