Alrighty then Vow 2 is complete.

anyway time for pictures.

Right on mate, lovin' those breachers in particular.  Warmaster knows I have a soft spot for breachers and volkites, so absolutely awesome work.  Definitely doing the Iron Tenth proud! Actually, I don't think I've ever seen an underslung proteus launcher actually used before.  Looks great.  Seriously nice work you lot!

 

I mean ahem, Gaaaah loyalist dogs your doom comes!  I'll see you at the dropsite.  That is, if you have the stomach for it!

Ah, exams are all over and I can get some more painting done. So how has everybody else been?

 

TheStatusJoe, nicely done, one blue Primarch ready for war. Is he holding the scabbard in a power fist? I always thought he was just holding it in his hand but looking closely that looks like a power fist. He must have some really fine motor control sensors in that fist to not crush the scabbard.

 

Semper Fortis, that is some nice intense yellow on the two contemptuous.

 

Iron Bars, Happy Tank Hunting.

 

Lokkorex, good work on the Tartarus, I look forward to seeing a better picture in due course, and your robots as well of cause.

 

Kordhal, nice use of primaries bodies on those Blackshields, also is that a Deathguard head on the second marine?

 

Eternal Despair, are there going to be any robots in your next vow for the Praevien to command?

 

Silvernale, lovely Alphas as always.

Beautiful bases. Is it the Martian Ironcrust?

 

 

The bases actually use a mix of Martian Ironcrust and Martian Ironearth in different parts of the base to give it a bit of variety to the look of the base, It also helps that they are dead easy to do.

 

Step 1. Cover the top of the base in GW Doombull Brown

Step 2. Place randomly in different spots of the base GW Martian Ironcrust and GW Martian Ironearth, make sure it goes on decently thick so that it gives you some nice big cracks

Step 3. Once the texture paint is dry, I usually leave it overnight to make sure it is completely dry, wash the base with GW Reikland Fleshshade.

Step 4. Drybrush the base with GW Ryza Rust

Step 5. Rim the bases with GW Abbadon Black

 

Sorry I don't have any pictures to go along with the steps but I hope this helps

Good to see you back Trokair, and glad you survived exams. Had you noticed that we are still carrying the highest SCR, and combined AoD the highest completion rate, on the weekly update?

 

Aside from losing two days to chasing cows (one chasing, one recovering) I have been working diligently. Last Contemptor done but for a tiny bit of detail and basing. Should be able to post completion some time on Friday. I'll have my next vow ready by the following morning.

Cyclonic melta lance, grav-flux bombard, volkite calivers, phosphex discharger

-Deredeo dreadnought for 255 points:

Plasma cannonade, ailos Missle Launcher

- Destroyer squad x5 for 260 points:

Leviathan up shortly... apparently not as shortly as I thought. Internet acting up again.

And that messy forest of ?things? is actually my Leviathan before pict with the black primer pieces still damp.

Holy Emperor I detest autocorrect

Some excellent work going on here guys! These dirty traitors won't know what hit them....

 

More dreadnoughts?@ Semper Fortis! You maniac!! I really need to do some of mine! I feel shamed you've got so many!!

 

Great effort Silvernale, some nifty Alphas there! Lovely blue - but I'm liking the bases! Where did you get them?!

 

I'm plodding along with my vows - out of my 25 marines they've all been airbrushed and about 19 are either done or nearly done -- my 10 vets are the real time sink, with all the little details, and I made a rod for my own back doing vexilas!! Silly me!

 

Why oh why did I have to do over elaborate bases.... that's what's really holding me up

Well I've cracked out the light box, not entirely happy with the results but it looks like a matt varnish photos better. I'll have to try a few more settings/adjustments. It really isn't coming out bright enough! Nothing a few filters don't fix....

 

Anyway, here is a pretty average tactical marine - love the simplicity of these after the veterans! Of my vow, all my 5 mkiv are done, just need to base them - which is a mission in itself....

I love MKii armour, especially with the phonecian pattern helmet! Thankfully I've got enough for a squad of 10! Although this vow sees 5 of these and 5 of the vets!

Satin varnish isn't showing up so well, but I've got 3 of these guys done and the rest just needing the white armour added! I think it'll look a striking unit!!

Trokair: Sorry i haven't been able to take better pictures, gonna try and take some better pictures in the future, maybe once ETL is finished and i've finished some more vows, and fixed up my Praevian ( it wouldn't be right not to show the dogkeeper with his hounds now, wouldn't it? :) )

BlueBelly1863

BlueBelly1863 & Semper Fortis: Thanks for the likes guys!

moving on, i'll be busy assembling some selucid thorakites, finishing my Spartan and Sicaran, and assemble some plasma support squads and Iron Havocs.

Iron Within, Iron Without Brothers!

Send the traitors to the warp they hold so dear!

Holy Emperor's Legions!

 

In the week 7 update Captain Semper said:

 

"AoD_L

 

One word: BRAVO! At the mid-point of the event, without commanding the highest number of participants or points pledged you have managed to i) have a completion rate of 30%, ii) a re-vowing rate of 38% and iii) maintain a high average vow. All those components led to AoD-L achieving the highest score in the ETL at the mid-point of the event. And not by a narrow margin either! You guys have shown the commitment and enthusiasm for which the AoD community is renowned and it delivered results. Congratulations, but keep it up. We have as much to go through as we have already done – so do not allow fatigue to settle in. Go forth and you may become the top Forum among all Forums irrespective of Faction! "

 

We're on fire! (In a good way) ;) This should give some of you guys still working on first vows some real motivation. We could actually win this thing if we stay focused.

Very helpful thanks - might try something like this if I ever get to vow 2 ...
