[Sol_Invictus]

I Sol_Invictus rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Loyalist Age of Darkness and vow to complete 10 x Secutarii Hoplites, 1 x Arvus Lighter, and 1 x Ordo Reductor Minotaur of total value of 410 points on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end. This I pledge for the glory of the Omnissiah! Death to every foe and traitor!

[Trokair]

Welcome aboard Magos Sol_Invictus and good luck.

Good to see we are already ahead of those traitorous dogs next door!

[Iron Bars]

[Trokair]

Is that a giant axe on the Knight? Where did you get it from?

Its a super sharp resin cast, really pleased with it

[Captain Semper]

Welcome back Sol Invictus! A big vow there - good luck with it! 

 

Great progress in the Loyalist camp, but not forget, this is still the recruitment period, so the more you join the better. I believe the Traitors re actually gaining on you!

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Thanks, that's something I'll have to keep in mind for future use.

I made some progress today by getting all but six models primed black. I then realized that cleaning my airbrush used up the last of the cleaner I had on hand. Once I get more cleaner in, next step with be the reds and then the metals. I'm experimenting with airbrush control on these guys and seeing if I can do most of the painting with the airbrush. Two hours of work with the airbrush had all the stuff I have built covered in black.

[Studio Silvernale]

Finished my Deimos Predator (135 points)

 

 

The gun mount is magnetized so I can use the TL lascannons, although I didn't see that option in the HH book...

There's no option for TL-lascannons on Predators in 30k, it is strictly a post-Heresy development. (Can't believe it took a Mjod-drunken iron priest to realise you could retrofit lascannons into the turret)

 

You could always explore the Magna-melta for extra anti-armour effect, and I am loving the paintscheme on that.

[Captain Semper]

Great progress here guys. Keep going though, because the Traitors a really closing in! ;)

[Lord Commander Eidolon]

Here is some progress - I've batch painted a lot of pink on these guys, so I'll have a large chunk of the vets and my quasi veteran assault squad done! I'll be happy to get these two units more or less done in the ETL. Anything else will be a bonus!

Recon squad done, except for basing. Will do that for both squads together so I only have to clean up the mess once. I'm not happy with this pic. IRL it is dead matte and the cloaks are khaki not white.

I got started on the cataphractii this morning. I know it ain't much, guys, but for me this is blazing fast.

Haha don’t stress mate! I paint glacierly slow. I’ve done two tanks so far for my vow (see traitor thread) and that’s the most I’ve painted since my son was born almost three years ago! Take your time!

[Viridia]

Just thought I'd post this up. As soon as this dude and the Warsmith are done, that BT Ven dread will be getting vowed in as a fallen warrior of the Templars, complete with some Terminator goodness.

 

[Studio Silvernale]

Whirlwind Scorpius is done (125 points)

 

[Captain Semper]

@ Studio Silvernale: That metallic turquoise (or whatever its name is) is mesmerising... Great work man!

WHAT HERESY IS THIS!?!? AND IN THE LOYALISTS OUTPOST TOO!

Sadly Captain, even Templar Brethren fall in battle. (Plus my interest in a combined 40k BT/SW army waned with news of 8th ed and I need to justify the Templar-looking termies, LR and dreadie)

Vow 1 complete. I got these done a lot quicker than I expected, especially as I went into the event with only a vague idea for a colour scheme and spent quote some time experimenting. Talking of experimenting I have used for the first time the Gemstone paints and Agrellan Earth texture and while I need to get a lot better with both I do like how they are turning out so far.

Hope the pictures are ok, parts are out of focus, sorry. Let me know if you want close-ups, more details on anything or any other questions in general.

Group shot

Malagra close up

Thallax close up

Ursarax close up

Vow 2 will follow shortly.

Those are really tempting me to add some robots.

@Studio Silvernale, that's a stunning color. Don't suppose you'd be willing to share your recipe.

 

@Trokair, I really like your color choices. That blue pops. And what green did you use on Malagra's blade?
