My warhound has its basecolours in caledor sky and white, can i still add it to my vow or is it too close to completion? :p

I think the rules said that dual-basing was fine for Titans.

Fair. I might pledge it as my second vow then!

[Silas7]

Great red there :tu:

 

The scratching on the base, that's to help it stay attached, right? As for the painting handle, would a blob of blue tack suffice?

Yes I score just about every contact point to give the glue more to grip, it wasn't as noticeable before the primer. I have some old poster tac i could use but I think it's dried out, maybe I can rehydrate it?

 

The red is mostly army painter color primer, which when I go about priming the other dreads i think I'm going to switch it up and start with a black or grey then do a semi zenithal with the red primer. The reason is i think I over primed the BA contemptor and have had some problems getting additional layers of paint to stick.

[Captain Semper]

@ Brother Lemartes: A hefty and much needed vow there! A few more like this and the situation in the Astartes camp might reverse. Heck, the entire ETL might take a different turn! Welcome aboard brother!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Dont-Be-Haten]

Once I finish this first vow I'll be pledging knights.

[Mostwanted]

Quick update from me.

My Captain and Lieutenant have had their base coat airbrushed on. Made good progress with my Chaplain. Still got a fair bit of work to do on the black highlights. Need to add decals and some other highlights and do the jump pack.

[Black_Sky]

It's been a couple of productive evenings.

 

Mephiston is done and ready to join his brothers in high command.

 

The black parts of the Predator are done.

The Death Company have had the red on their weapons and crosses blocked in.

The basecoat on the Hellblasters is done. The black and golden parts have received the first coat of paint.

[Majkhel]

A little WIP from me as well - Hellblasters are nearly done:

I've spent second evening in a row building up their highlights, taking a break from those to do their heads and pouches and putting texture on their bases.

Now all that is left are final highlights on the armors, maybe some chipping, finishing up their eyes, hihlights and corrections on weapons, shading and highlighting bases, highlights on pouches, decals, company and squad markings and purity seals.

OK, so they are not nearly done... but getting there!

EDIT: I somehow managed to loose their original heads somewhere so now they got a mix from Inceptors, Aggressors, MK IV and Intercessors :P

[redshadow]

Won’t lie 10 days in and I’m struggling to sit for any length of time and paint.

Loads of time left....

[Majkhel]

June is often tough for us painters :) 
Adjust and set your goals manageable. Sometimes painting a single step, like shading on a single model is all we can manage. No matter - each steps brings us closer to completion :)

[keeblerartillery]

ETL update!

Alright, the libby dread isn't done to my standard, but calling him done for ETL!





And a WIP shot of my sicarans -

[Lynnean]

Nice!

[Leonaides]

Not done for your standard... Ha! I wish i had the patience to paint half that well...

[Jolemai]

Aye, even if you're away or busy in June, if you vow a single model before the end of the month deadline it means if you're going to have painting time in July/August you'll be part of the ETL and able to make extra vows then

 

This. Keep those vows coming folks, we need you!

 

Once I finish this first vow I'll be pledging knights.

 

If you think you can fit them in the timeframe, then go for it :tu:

You can't add to vows so if you seriously want to go down that route, then it would be a subsequent vow. If in doubt about its eligibility, then feel free to drop Semper (or myself) a PM :tu:

Cheers for the info :) How are you going about basing? Only that should cover it without the need for liquid GS (or whatever) :)

He's looking really good so far, will you be basing for the event?

Mep's backpack swap is a nice touch and everything else is looking so neat and tidy. Going to look great when finished

What are the heads on the Inceptors?

ETL update!

And a WIP shot of my sicarans -

That Librarian Dreadnought has really come out nice and the marble band on those Sicarans

How did you get the lines so straight?

This. To use a cliche, the ETL is a marathon, not a sprint. What matters the most is you being happy with what you achieve and clearing your backlog and it is out job to help and inspire you as you go. Get involved, not only here, but check out the other Outposts and main ETL thread for ideas and whatnot. As Majkhel says, don't worry if all you can manage is one bit a night as it's still progress

Yes, all 3 models that I've pledged will have their bases done. If I'm not working this weekend I'm hoping to have the Chaplain done. Then I can get on to painting red which I much prefer!

Edit. I am rubbish as doing quotes on here!

[keeblerartillery]

Jol - tamiya tape! Do the marble first, tape it off, then airbrush away! You’ll notice I had a little spillage on one side - not from overspray but I actually sloped my paint from my airbrush onto the sicaran...

All the best with those plans and the quoting was fine, just missing a piece of code to finish it off :)

Ahh, I've heard about that. Should probably look into it for my larger DC vehicles...

[Majkhel]

Hellblasters complete for the ETL :)
(for Inceptors helmets, check the far right and the middle guy, Jole :) )


Now... Inceptors I think. They are currently the most advanced ones.

[Captain Semper]

Great progress guys - impressive stuff too!

Talking of impressive:

ETL update!

Alright, the libby dread isn't done to my standard, but calling him done for ETL!

Hidden Content

And a WIP shot of my sicarans -

This marble effect is totally amazing! Well done sir - colour me impressed!

Now hopefully more recruits will be flocking to the Angel's banner!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[RedemptionNL]

Been away from awhile and I didn't notice the ETL was going on while I finished my BA Librarian Dreadnought and Captain.

 

But I'm assembling a unit of Suppressors at the moment. I can still make a first pledge? And Vanguard units are legal I assume, even though the Shadowspear units are not listed in the first post?

 

I won't be able to do much in terms of models/points, but every little bit helps right?

Any legal unit for the Blood Angels faction (or successor chapter using the same codex) is allowed, as long as you're using the most recently published datasheet and points for it, which includes Shadowspear - confirmed here.

 

As long as you make your 1st vow before 1st July, and the models have no more than a single colour coat or primer, you're in Feel free to vow them while partially assembled, people vow stuff still entirely on sprues...

 

And yes, anything you can complete by 1st Sept is always great!
