ETL VI +++Age of Darkness Loyalist Outpost (AoD-L)+++

[our_baz]

Update. This is my current situation. Mostly highlighting to do, but I'm running out of available days (stupid RL). My initial mplan was to add a load of free hand scales and flames to the armour, but I may run out time for this and I dont want to rush the process and drop my standards. This is going to the wire

[Captain Semper]

Congratulations Viridia - let's hope more of your loyalist brothers follow your example! :)

 

Now this is the last weekend of the event, make the best of it! :)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[marine7312000]

Update on my vow. I've got both contemptor, the deredeo, vindicator and sicaran completed. Now on to the rest of the dreads and all of the infantry.

[Vykes]

Hah, c'mon Our_baz mate, you can do it!  Where would the age of darkness be without our resident pyromaniacs?  I wanna see them done, too! 

 

And Marine, mah man, you got a lot of the great Blood Angel kit there.  Deredeos are still some of my favourite, and it's good to see TL Heavy bolters on dreads.  They look great but I just don't see them around much.  That's still a bunch of guys, but you got this, eh?  Blood Angels don't let things down, even when the hour is late and the task is grim (said from the IX- 189th company part of my soul).

 

And blasted great work on getting that vow done, too Viridia.  RL can always rob one of the sacred hobby time (how I got so lucky is beyond comprehension at this point) but nicely done.  I mean, I'm still part of the Warmaster's crew and that makes me morally obligated to kick down your lots sandcastles, but that doesn't mean I have to be a jerk about it or anything :P 

 

You got this, can't let us lot have all the fun, right?    

[Captain Semper]

Yeah guys, keep the pace... Let's see things happening during the Weekend! :)

[Captain Semper]

Right, I need to calculate Raeho's somewhat vague vow (he hasn't posted here since then). I assume the minimum size tactical squad (10) with no gear for the sergeant so I'm coming up with 125pts. If Raeho is around and cares to comment, it'll more than welcome...

[Semper Fortis]

Lookin' good, brothers! I'm proud to be a part of this group. Ya'll are amazing! Let's keep on it and do the Emperor and our Primarchs proud.

[TheStatusJoe]

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Vykes]

A-hah, that's the spirit StatusJoe!  That's it!  

 

C'mon ya lot, got it in ya to show up those upstarts brats ten thousand years removed from the real fight?!  :) 

[TheStatusJoe]

Progress is progress. Got the shade on all five, dry brushes highlights and I'm putting metallics on now. May have these guys done in a couple hours.

[TheStatusJoe]

There she is, In the span of a few hours, I've completed my pledge of five characters!

[Vykes]

Hah, now that's what I call speed.  Definitely riving, and probably beating, Dreagher and I!  They look superb mate, awesome (and that big bad Bobby G is killer, too).

I appreciate it. My XIIIth Legion isn't anywhere near your Sons of Horus, but ETL has definitely helped towards that goal. Maybe tomorrow I'll do that Sicarian Venator we talked about earlier.

 

On another note, I think next year I will join the traitors, if only to get points for the amount of dead or dying word bearers I have painted on bases and models. 

[LameBeard]

Loads of great stuff on this thread, but I had to pick out...

 

Vow 1 Complete, yo!

 

Many congratulations, StruManChu!  If your experience is anything like mine, I suspect this may dent your hobby time for the next 10 years or so, but then you'll enjoy a renaissance when your son or daughter wants to get into it too.

[marine7312000]

Got the three dreadnoughts finished today. Now its on the the infantry models.

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

Well I'm pretty much done - just the final 5 Assault marines to be based. So we've got an almost completion

[Semper Fortis]

Lookin' good, Lord Commander! I'm loving the purple with pink.

[TheStatusJoe]

Once more I rise to the challenge of ETL, this time pledging a tactical support squad of marines

These five loyalists total to 210 points with their melta guns and melta bombs.

Come on loyalists, get your pledges in. Do you really want to play second fiddle to the 40k nerds?

[Vykes]

That's the spirit, loyalists! And nice one StatusJoe!  I know I sure don't want to get outdone by Abbadon's bilge rats or some soulless fanatical monks eternally detached from the Empirical Dream!

 

Looking terrific, Lord Commander!  Particularly like the assault legionnaires there.  Very very cool. And I do still love that basing scheme. 

 

-goes back to working on some more astartes while wondering 3rd, 14th, 15th, or 16th legions-

I'm putting my speed painting into gear today. If I can get this vow done, I'll try to assemble something to get a 5th vow in before wednesday.

THREE DAYS TO GO!

[Semper Fortis]

Hey, Marine7312000, somehow I missed your last post. Nice looking dreads!

 

StatusJoe, missed yours, too. Nice vow, awesome completions, somewhat scary last vow... dude, don't fall and break your painting arm before that vow's complete. ;)

[TheStatusJoe]

Nah. This vow will be done today. Getting highlights on now, metallics after.

[TheStatusJoe]

I hereby declare my fourth vow complete. Where are the rest of my loyalists? Are the Ultramarines going to have to shoulder this burden alone? I see too many incomplete vows, or even incomplete first vows. Have the other loyal Sons of the Emperor abandoned us?
