+++Chaos Space Marines Outpost+++


Recommended Posts

Man there is so much going on - I don't know where and what to comment. At least I did the update (correctly I hope)... 

 

Let's see what else can you pull before tomorrow's weekly cut-off! Oh, and check the first page here to make sure your status is correctly depicted... 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

So time for Vow 3!

 

This time its a Chaos Lord and a Sorcerer on a bike for a grand total of 254 points! Hoping to have these finished in the next day or so and then can move onto the knight.

 

Chaos lord: Power Sword and Combi Plasma (93 points)

5 Havocs with Missile Launchers - 165pts
 

...of total value 330pts on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring eternal glory to Nurgle and the Realm of Chaos forum: failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

So here's a WIP of my Knight as it stands. Things are still very early on and nothing you see here is finished.

med_gallery_82168_14652_510940.png

I've certainly come to realise that my original plans of going light on the Chaos aren't really going to work out, so I've got a few ebay orders of assorted spikes and vehicle upgade kits set for Wednesday-Friday that should hopefully make that side of things just a little bit more obvious. Freakshow668's Knight on the previous page certainly helped me see how you really don't have to go overboard to sell the fact that yours is a Renegade Knight at a glance, so I'm really thankful to have had that vow for guidance.

I've tweaked my plans for the colour layout again and am now planning for something like this, but after deciding to put some colour on the thing I've really been feeling that the central plates (cowl, chest, groin) being left in pure black looks far worse on the model than it did the test image. They can't help but look a bit empty and unfinished being in the centre of the model and surrounded by all that bright gold. As such I was wondering if you guys had any ideas what I might do with them?

If you do the scrollwork on the chest and the bottom plate of the groin in gold, it'll break up the black area, and I'd pick out the rivets too, it'll make a big difference.

Bah. Just was reminded mum's birthday is tomorrow and probably an overnight thing... and I'm not in the mood to glue tonight. Looks like Thursday is, when I get back, Glue and Spray day. Fridays are thankfully free and anything I don't finish with my speed painting method is Saturday's thing

Righto. I'm currently waiting on a delivery to get the paints so I can go over the skeleton and gold details again, so I'll certainly take care of that.

Broke my painting thumb (and then some) doing yard work this morning so I’m out. Pretty terrible timing as I’m 97% done with my 1st vow and set to receive a FW Chaos Knight + Warden upgrade sprue in the mail tomorrow. Oh well, good luck everyone.

Me: "Three whole months to paint some models? Pffft... this'll be easy!"

Life: "Hold my beer..."

So anyway, I finally finished my vow, numerous obstacles notwithstanding. It is a simple fact that I take horrendous pictures of my finished models. So even though they look subpar in photo form, I'm quite proud of how they actually look. So, without further ado...

And with that, my friends, is my finished vow. I look forward to the next one, as I obviously need the motivation!

Really struggling with these last three models... at home with the kiddos all day! :down:  might just put three colors on em and take a break lol. Great completions everyone else! Really inspired by some of the truly terrific work y'all are doing!

@Copycat: Nooo! If they're that close, can you call them finished anyway? Also what did you do, fall out of a tree?

 

Excellent completions everyone! If we can keep this up for the rest of the event we'll leave everyone else choking on our dust!

97% = 100% this close to the end. Post photos and end your vow, you should be good. 

I Freakshow668 rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Chaos Space Marines and vow to complete:


 


1 renegade knight with wrecking ball (Thunderstrike Gauntlet), chainaxe (Reaper Chainsword), meltagun and  Stormspear rocket pod, for a total of 412 points by 1st August, 2018.  Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.
