ETL VI +++Astra Militarum Outpost+++

[Captain Semper]

Hey CaptainSemper, Oops! No idea how I missed that. I was sure to follow the rule on my previous vows. Slipped by me big time. I've updated the vow to have an equal number or Astra Militarum units to IFOR units.

Thanks! You're doing one heck of a job! I've been having a blast in the ETL and my backlog is moving along (though there is still so much to do)

Great Snorkle, I have amended the first page (and my spreadsheet). Good luck!

Update time... didnt get to spend as much time as I wanted this eve behind the brush but I got in 3 more hours so pretty happy...took an hour to tape everything off to spray the tracks but I think it turned out to be worth it. Not so good pics but Ive got to be up in a few hours and have 2 hours behind the wheel and a day at Kings Island riding coasters

Just an update on my vow :  after an afternoon with my airbrush, all models for my vow are at the least primed, if not basecoated!   I primed the stormtroopers and the ratlings, and basecoated the Griffon and Conqueror.   Now that the majority of the airbrushing is done, I can start knocking out the last of my infantry before focusing on my tanks.   

 

 

[WarriorFish]

Keep up the progress comrades :tu: Unfortunately some things came up which precluded me from my plans so I've not god much done. The Bullgryn is almost finished though, I hope to have him ready for an upcoming game ;)

[Captain Semper]

A bit earlier than usual - I will not have the time to update later today...

 

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!

[Danny Cyanide]

Made some progress on the first Kill Team and Vanguard Squad tonight. I'm going to have the Deathwatch part of my vow done by this Sunday!

 

[WarriorFish]

Great work Danny, very nice colours on them they're looking really good :tu: I'll have my Bullgryn finished tonight, then on to the Inquisitor methinks :)

[WarriorFish]

One third of my vow is complete:

He'll be seeing the table top this week, which was good incentive I plan to finish my vow and make my follow up next week

To glory comrades, not one step back!

[Danny Cyanide]

I said it during trooping the colour and I'll say it again, I love the filled down tank tracks on your Ogryn Armour!

[WarriorFish]

I look forward to seeing your Bullgryns Danny ;)

[Jam Master Flex]

Made some progress on my Valiant today, got him built and primed. Keeping the armour off to make him easier to paint, just push fitted this top big to see how it looked:

Might have it finished this weekend

[duz_]

Oh exciting! :D

 

 

Youre going for yellow and white?

What yellow and silver are you using?

[Danny Cyanide]

Did some gold on my remaining Deathwatch units today, they are really starting to come together!

 

[noigrim]

[Jam Master Flex]

Oh exciting! :D

 

 

Youre going for yellow and white?

What yellow and silver are you using?

I base coated the armour white and then used averland sunset through the airbrush.

 

I left various halves white on my armour pieces because I wasn't sure where I am going to put in the black bits, or red too as it's House Hawkshroud to go with my mini knights

[WarriorFish]

Great to see so many updates to work, and a completion and follow up too! Well done comrades let's keep it up :D

ETL VI - WEEK 6 UPDATE

[Captain Semper]

Great progress overall guys, and congratulations to Noigrim for his completion - and the follow-up vow! :tu:

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[lionofjudah]

Congrats Noigrim!!

I’m in the midst of RL as my biz partner and front desk staff are on a retreat on the other side of the planet and I’m running the show back home.

I’m loving JMF’s armor and weathering a bunch and am chomping at the bit to get back to mine.

I’ll be able to break the airbrush out and satin varnish everything to prep for decals tomorrow night

[Jam Master Flex]

Slight update

This is taking chuffing ages haha, I've had a lot on at the moment and I've got so much left to do on the bits that I've managed to paint anyway.

 

Then I need to decide if I want to weather it or keep it fresh and clean?

[duz_]

Personally I always like the clean look.

Id imagine these giant beasts unless they're mid campaign are always kept in tiptop condition.

 

Looking great though. Lens effect is spot on :tu:

[OutlawSixActual]

JMF if it were me, i’d keep the weathering to actual weather - rain streaks, dirt/mud, oil from fill ports/cylinders, etc. these things are way too valuable to be left to rust, or with unattended damage (unless in the midst of a campaign).

 

Here is my update for the evening:

 

Still reasonably confident I can finish assembly of my vow by the end of this week and a solid bulk of painting done by the end of next weekend...

[WarriorFish]

Great work Jam, for such a striking heraldic scheme I also think clean would be better - show it off more

 

coldfyre you're still a loon, so the commissariat will be keeping a close eye on you and your work in case your genius shows signs of deviancy...

[Danny Cyanide]

Finished the vanguard squad tonight and got Kill Team Cassius a little further along:

 

 

 

I'll be basing all 22 together once they are all finished.
