+++Blood Angels Outpost+++

[Zebulon]

 

Yeah I wouldn’t mind if someone double checked my point tally too, as it’s based on the 8e Codex (paper copy) so if any points values have changed I might be in trouble :ph34r:

I've sent you a PM with my findings :)

Really appreciated, thanks. Have edited my Vow post.

 

Hmm, I need that group “before” photo too don’t I. That will come tomorrow I think... dark here currently.

[Dont-Be-Haten]

I'm finalizing some models and will be posting my vow soon. Good to see the healthy vows so far!

[Zephaniah Adriyen]

Wait, Battlescribe is questionable? Could, uh... could someone check my points for me? I don't think I've done anything illegal/wrong, but I'd still like a second opinion.

[Majkhel]

Wait, Battlescribe is questionable? Could, uh... could someone check my points for me? I don't think I've done anything illegal/wrong, but I'd still like a second opinion.

BattleScribe is OK currently. At least for us.

Update on progress: base coat has been strengthened and first shades applied to the infantry. I've also done heads for the Aggressors and started highlighting with Mephiston Red on the Captain.

[Captain Semper]

Right... 8 BAs so far... vs. 17 of Space Marines and 27 of Chaos Space Marines. Just saying...

At this stage by far the most important metric is participation levels. Big vows may come later but even that won't be enough if participation is low...

Congrats to the newcomers - best of luck everybody!

Question: Would you recommend getting Commander Dante now in his resin model or wait until he is released in plastic?

[Charlo]

Question: Would you recommend getting Commander Dante now in his resin model or wait until he is released in plastic?

There is no indication he's getting a plastic model outside of some winks and sly smiles from the game Devs.

 

I'd go for resin at the moment or convert one.

[Majkhel]

Question: Would you recommend getting Commander Dante now in his resin model or wait until he is released in plastic?

Frankly we cannot say if he will ever be released in plastic in his current old-marine form.

Speculation: if he gets released in plastic, he will also get a new model. Quite possibly Primaris one, like Calgar. However this will not happen soon, otherwise we wold get something from the Rumor Engine by now. 

Additionally BA got some attention form FW recently, so all the more reasons for GW to take care of something else than Dante in the nearest future (SoB, some xenos, more chaos,...?)

 

Unfortunately I cannot say if I would recommend getting the finecast model either as I myself own a metal one.

 

EDIT: fast Charlo :P

[Thoridon]

I ,Thoridon, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete the following units of total value 2099 2135 points on or before September 1st, 2019:

1x Stormraven (Twin Lascannon, Twin Multi-Melta, 2x Hurricane Bolters) - 282 334

1x Land Raider Excelsior (2x Twin Lascannon, Grav Cannon, H-K Missile, Multi-Melta, Storm Bolter) - 438

1x Jump Pack Captain (Thunder Hammer) - 114

Mostly still unprimed. The couple of models in a dark red are primed in a Vallejo surface primer.

I've double checked the points with CA18 and they should all be accurate. I figured it was time to work through some units I've had in the painting queue for a while...

Edit: Total points should be 2099 (I forgot to include the 2 pts per SS on the Terms when I posted).

[Spyros]

I Spyros rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete 3 characters of total value 224 on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

 

1) Lieutenant with Jump pack, plasma pistol & power fist - 92

2) Lieutenant with combi-plasma & chainsword                - 71

3) Techmarine with boltgun, power axe & servo-harness  - 61

 

Unknown available time, so... starting with something modest and way overdue. Kit-bashed lieutenants from GBBO and one of the old ones, a metal techmarine! These three probably represent the last original astartes characters that I 'm going to paint, meaning that the possible following vows will be primaris astartes!

 

[Zebulon]

Right... 8 BAs so far... vs. 17 of Space Marines and 27 of Chaos Space Marines. Just saying...

Not to dispute any of what you said after this, Semper... and not to give you additional work, but it is a fact that we here represent just one Chapter (and a handful of successors), much like your brethren among the Dark Angels. In many ways it is amazing that we both continue to hold our own against factions which have so much scope. I would love to see statistics broken down by individual chapters and warbands, someday. Perhaps you have some minions who could assist with that...?!

[Captain Semper]

Agreed! And last year you proved that it ca be done with 44 BAs vs. 55 CSMs. But you had to overcome a significant disadvantage that led to the insanely high 87% completion rate. Now you have the opportunity to even the odds and have the room to win without counting on this amazingly high (and difficult to repeat) completion rate... ;)

[Captain Semper]

And what'd you know, reinforcements are coming! :woot:

 

Welcome and good luck to all!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Arkhanist]

I ,Arkhanist, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete the following units of total value 663 points on or before September 1st, 2019:

 

Intercessor Squad 89pts
4x Intercessors, bolt rifles
Intercessor Sergeant, bolt rifle, auxilliary grenade launcher, power sword

Intercessor Squad 89pts
4x Intercessors, bolt rifles
Intercessor Sergeant, bolt rifle, auxilliary grenade launcher, power sword

Hellblaster Squad 165pts
4x Hellblasters, plasma incinerator
Hellblaster Sergeant, plasma incinerator

Hellblaster Squad 165 pts
4x Hellblasters, plasma incinerator
Hellblaster Sergeant, plasma incinerator

Redemptor Dreadnought 155 pts
Heavy onslaught gatling cannon, onslaught gatling cannon, two storm bolters, redemptor fist

 

I've a couple more minor conversions to make before priming this lot, such as the redemptor storm bolters, but ready to pledge. (the blue ones are easy-to-build plastic). I'm normally a slow painter and this is an ambitious pledge for me; I've planned some shortcuts including using my airbrush and Contrast, so wish me luck!

 

[Majkhel]

Wow, some huge first vows coming!

 

Arkhanist, I'm super excited to see what you will come up with the contrast paints! Do you have a plan how will you use them?

[Arkhanist]

Wow, some huge first vows coming!

 

Arkhanist, I'm super excited to see what you will come up with the contrast paints! Do you have a plan how will you use them?

 

It's a new scheme for my BA primaris anyway, so the contrast release timing seemed pretty fortuitous!

 

Current plan is to do a zenithal prime stage with the airbrush, with a bit of extra black and white in the appropriate spots, then airbrush transparent red over the top and an enamel black pinwash, based upon the new mightybrush scheme, along with a minimal edge highlight. Airbrushing over zenithal primer is already becoming my favourite style for doing other stuff, so I think that should be straightforward.

 

The metallics, large gems and eyes will be done as per normal; I've got some warcolours gem paints coming, so I might use those for the titchy gems and lenses.

 

Then basically Contrast for everything else, given I'll have already zenithal'd everything anyway; I'll mask off the gun before the red, and tidy up with light colours for the rest.

Faces with guilliman flesh, gun, joints and chest eagle with Black Templar. Plasma with Aethermatic blue, skeleton horde for skulls and something for dark leather, probably wyldwood.

 

I may also try out ultramarine blue on the hellblaster helmets; doing them separately anyway, so might just airbrush em.

 

Then just knee transfers, a little edge highlighting to help the contrast out, and some light weathering with pigments and oils, and hopefully that'll be that! It'll either work really well and I'll have these guys done in 6 weeks or so, or it'll go terribly and I'll be burning the midnight all of August to try and get em finished. We'll see!

[Captain Semper]

Good luck Arkhanist - it's a bit vow but an interesting one at that! 

 

UPDATED AT THIS POINT!

To be fair, Chaos were still suffering from old models last year which is definitely not the case this year. I won't be participating this year but I wish all my BA brothers much luck ... I feel like we are going to need it. ;)
