ETL VII +++Space Marines Outpost+++

[Nusquam]

My vow is mostly complete. I'll do a family photo at the end. I just have the Suppressors and one random infiltrator I missed. Hard to tell the based are painted mud with this light. Been using mostly contrasts.

 

[War Angel]

I, War Angel, declare to the council, my second vow, in the name of the Emperor, of Dorn, and of Fidelis itself; that I will complete one Primaris Approthicary, and one Primaris Libraian of the Eagles Eternal chapter on or before September 1st. Success will bring Eternal Glory, and failure will bring damnation until the end of the Terran calendar year.

 

Total vow is 169 points (nice)

 

[Apocalypton]

Vow 2 Complete:

I used contrast paints for all but the sponging of dryad bark/stormhost and hexwraith flame/nighthaunt bloom wet blend on the plasma.

[Marshal Vespasian]

That is impressive.

How did you avoid splotchiness

[MajorNese]

That is impressive.

How did you avoid splotchiness

Exactly my thoughts. Had some quite weird effects on large flat areas.

 

And my vow is nearing completion. 5 heads and sets of pouches, and it's done. Next week...

[Halandaar]

Okay, new kits have arrived and been built, and I scavenged together a Devastator Squad and a couple of Captains through creative bits-box raiding!

-=VOW FOUR=-

• Primaris Captain (Master-Crafted Auto Bolt Rifle, "Power Sword")
• Primaris Captain (Plasma Pistol, Power Fist)
• Primaris Librarian (Force Sword)
• Primaris Lieutenant (Power Sword)
• Primaris Apothecary
• 5 Intercessors (Bolt Rifles) - They're on 40mm bases for coolness reasons as they're going to be my Kill Team

ALL VOWS AND COMPLETIONS AFTER THIS POINT WILL BE REGISTERED FOR THE SEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Jerethdatiger]

Vow 3 is taking far longer then I thought it would

[Apocalypton]

That is impressive.

How did you avoid splotchiness

 

It went blotchy the first time round even though it thought I was being careful so I ended up going over the panels (just shoulder and body flat bits) with wraithbone again. Wasn't sure what to do so I got a large soft brush, dipped it in the contrast and wiped it on a wet paper towel to get all the orange off and just leave the yellow. I then lightly applied it to the large flat areas just to get the yellow colour on - almost like a drybrush. With a thin brush I went over the rivets and recesses in the same contrast. Not ideal but think i got away with it for the most part. Not looking forward to when I get round to the repulsors though!

Finished my vow:

 

 

 

It's hard to see their bases without washing out their bodies. Went for a muddy oil slick.

@ Kierdale love the purple cape. Nice highlights.

[Brother Argent]

So much much much later then I intended:

VOW 1 Complete

I hope to get some better pics at some point (Far less zoomed in)

And so to keep the ball rolling...

I ,Brother Argent, answer the call of the ETL and vow, for the honour of the Adeptus Astartes, the Liber and my once proud (and first) but long lost Chapter the Star Leopards to complete before the 1st September:

A Three Man Aggressor Squad with Flamestorm Gauntlets. (This comes in at 117pts)

One Primaris Librarian armed with... well the usual stuff (This comes in at 101pts)

For a total points value of 218 Points

For the Glory of the Liber and the Astartes Brothers!!!

[golfdeltafoxtrot]

Much later than planned, vow one is complete.

Now it's time for my Scout squad to mount up and redeploy.

I suppose I'd better get to work on a second vow now...

[Captain Semper]

Excellent! A lot of completions! And some follow-ups too :tu: Well done guys - keeping the momentum in July is very important and you're doing a splendid job! Will it be the SMs year this year?

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

I really hope so. I feel like it's about time that Marines managed to reach their potential.

[Brother Christopher]

Congrats to everyone on their progress and finished vows!

 

@golfdeltafoxtrot, awesome bolter conversions! Where did you get the red dot sights from?

 

Even though I'm not done yet, there's also progress with my vow. This brings me to 6 out of 8 pledged models - considering my usual yearly output of painted miniatures, that's a lot :P

 

 

[Kierdale]

I got to work on this guy in a big session.

WIP on the chaplain.

Next is working up the shoulders to white.

@golfdeltafoxtrot, awesome bolter conversions! Where did you get the red dot sights from

Thanks Frater. The sights, mags, helmets and arms are all from Anvil Industry. I’ve been using their bits for about 18 months and the quality is excellent.

Only my Captain left to go!

[MajorNese]

I, MajorNese, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX VII, on the side of the Adeptus Astartes and for the glory of the Ravenspire, vowing to complete one captain in phobos armour (119p), 10 infiltrators (230p), 3 bolt aggressors (111p), one redemptor dakka dreadnought (161p), 3 eliminators (72p) and 5 heavy hellblasters (175p) for a total of 868 points, before 1st September 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

Vow completed.

 

 

I will start another vow next month - Friday I'll fly to Greenland for hiking, and maybe GW has something shiny new for me to do after those two weeks.

[Focslain]

@MajorNese - I like the grenade pack on the aggressors, possible to get a closer look at them. I might want to steal the idea for mine.

[MajorNese]

Yeah sure, there's another pic. Cut off the center part, filed down, rotated. No external parts involved.
