ETL VI - WEEK 1 UPDATE

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

I _saracen, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Adepta Sororitas, part of the IFOR group and vow to complete:

 

9 Dominions - Combi-Flamer, Power Maul, 3x Flamers (the 4th was my test model for the paint scheme) - 132 pts

10 Dominions - Combi-Melta, Chainsword, 4x Melta - 187 pts

10 Dominions - Combi-Melta, Chainsword, 4x Melta - 187 pts

9 Repentia + Mistress of Repentance - 191 pts

 

I am doing subassembly painting, but I laid out all the sub parts on the board to prove that they are all either simply primed or unpainted:

 

 

For a total of 697pts on or before 1st August 2018.

Success will bring me eternal glory. Failure shall doom me to wear the badge of the oath breaker till years end.

 

Saracen, what models are those that you're using? I don't recognize them ...

They're a fairly popular alternative to real metal Sisters from GW. They are Dreamforge Games Eisenkern Valkir Heavy Troopers Bodies with Statuesque Female heads kitbbashed with tons of GW parts.

[Captain Semper]

The Statuesque female heads are pretty cool! This is an exciting project - really look forward to see it taking shape!

[Mard]

Most likely a resin cast. If you look closely you'll observe that the white parts on the on the left hand hull closely match the metal parts on the right hand hull. The parts from the right hand hull are some of the upgrade parts required to transform a mk1 Rhino into a mk1 Immolator.

Most plain white parts like that are usually home made resin casts, because white is the default colour of home cast resin and pigments cost money. They also make your part photograph much better.

On the money there!

Yes the white parts are resin cast from the original metal parts on the right.

My current army was stripped and rebuilt from my old 2nd ed days. So while old Rhinos are easy to come by, the metal SoB parts are not so I'm using cast pieces from here on out to dress up my Rhinos

[Captain Semper]

So, any progress people would like to report?

I've gotten most of the basecoating work done. Still need to finish some metal and start on the robes, but the armor has turned out well. My next tasks after finishing in the metal/detail work is to work on the heads (Not looking forward to that!) and the weapons as you can see below. Still, much more progress than I've had since December when I bought the parts for these ladies!

[Eddie Orlock]

So, any progress people would like to report?

Yes! I've identified my minis!

Which should work out to three squads of ten. One Squad of Retributors with 4 Multi-Meltas, Two line squads with heavy flamer and flamer each. Also, Greyfax wishes to know if she's allowed to join too.

I'll list points during the next project update.

[Captain Semper]

@ _saracen: very impressive red! And the back banners, they really look the part! Carry on sir!

 

@ Eddie Orlock: Greyfax definitely in! So feel free to do your math! :)

[Atrus]

I have put all my minis and paints on the table and arranged them to fit around my dinner plate...

[Mard]

I've undercoated mine... weather has been terrible here so it's been too dark every afternoon I've arrived home to paint

[Captain Semper]

THIS IS THE CUT-OFF FOR THE WEEKLY UPDATE - EVERY VOW OR COMPLETION REPORTED BEYOND THIS POINT WILL COUNT FOR NEXT WEEK'S UPDATE.

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[WarriorFish]

Good to see lots of solid vows for the Sisterhood. All you need to do now is make sure the ranks of the Repentia don't grow

ETL VI - WEEK 2 UPDATE

[Mard]

How're we all going fellow faithful?

Most of my vow are about half done now, but pushed forward and knocked out two of the character models

[WarriorFish]

Very nice work Mard, the colour scheme really comes together on them :tu:

[Captain Semper]

Excellent Mard - Great touch the pink-ish C'tan knife! :tu:

 

Great progress everybody, keep the momentum going!

ETL VI - WEEK 3 UPDATE

[Captain Semper]

Awfully quiet here... any progress guys?

[Atrus]

Life been busy with work and musical rehearsals. Should hopefully put paint to brush this friday.

[Eddie Orlock]

Awfully quiet here... any progress guys?

Yeah, it's actually mostly done, just haven't had a good chance to get the pictures off my phone to prove it.

[Mard]

Mine will be finished this weekend. Then onto vow 2

[_Saracen]

I'm making progress. I have 11 more Dominions to do the metal on, and then I am on to basing, heads, and weapons. I wanted to try out subassembly painting and I don't think I will be doing it again with weapons. I enjoy being able to work on the heads off of the models, but doing the guns separately has been a bit of a pain.  I'm also making progress on the repentia, but I'm not as pleased with them. I will probably paint them to tabletop standard with 3 colors and call it done once my dominions are finished.
