+++ETL VII - WEEK 10 UPDATE+++

[Baron Sebas]

+Baron Sebas reporting mission: successful+

Vow II completed.

So i loved doing the hazard stripes, i will continue to practise on those. And finally i've done some lenzes properly.

And straight for the next vow:

I Baron Sebas rise to the challenge of the Ex Tenebrae Lux, Imperial Knight house Ignis has requested artillery support from Forgeworld Mars, and Mars will provide.

I vow to paint 1 Skorpius Disintegrator (build so i can change it for the dunecrawler & swappable weapons) for 116 points 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.

[Magos Takatus]

I am impressed with the Armigers and Helverins, they are really bold with the hazard striping. Good luck with the Disintegrator. I hope you have fun painting it.

[Quantum]

Vow completed:

Few. I thought I had ruined my models after a layer of Purity Seal turned them white. Thank the Omnissiah fot olive oil. Anyway, they are done now, and it only took me 150% more time than I had anticipated.

[Captain Semper]

@ Baron Sebas: These are fine looking machines indeed - you have great talent there Sebas! :tu: Good luck with your follow-up vow! 

 

@ Quantum: Amazing! :woot: It may have taken you more time than anticipated but you're now done and with a fantastic-looking squad no less! Bravo!

+++ETL VII - WEEK 11 UPDATE+++

[ImperialSquishiness]

Almost got my last 3 kataphrons finished, so hopefully have my vow completed over the next day or two.

[Captain Semper]

Good - let's see some completions guys - time is running out!

[ImperialSquishiness]

Last 3 kataphrons completed. My vow is now complete!

[WarriorFish]

Fine work Squishy, well done on finishing all your vows :tu:

[Captain Semper]

Looks good ImperialSquishiness!!! A very important vow indeed! 

 

You know, the AdMech is ridiculously close to a 100% completion rate provided the Titan gets done... Do give it a try guys!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Baron Sebas]

just a fyi my skorpius tank will be done end of sunday or early next week.

[jeremy1391]

Keep up the good work guys!

[Kilofix]

About done. Just waiting on decals to be applied tonight then weather and airbrush barrel heat discoloration:

 

 

Loading shells (it’s articulated so posable):

 

[Magos Takatus]

That looks fantastic. I was surprised that I hadn't seen any project updates but I see now you were waiting until it was almost finished. I really like the clean paint job but it's going to look fantastic when you apply the discolouration to the model.

[ImperialSquishiness]

Dude. That's awesome

[Kilofix]

Ah, whoops! That's some impressive progress. So many clamps... so much pinning! I'm pretty confident I don't have what it takes to assemble a Titan. I am amazed by the whole rear section of the Titan with the magazine deck and the loading cranes. It looks really vulnerable to enemy fire but as an artillery piece I suppose that's not supposed to be a concern. Are you going to weather the metal areas more or are you looking for a fairly clean appearance?

I’m going to airbrush the hips a darker bronze, the pistons a shiny steel and a bunch of the ribbed areas and rings a lighter bronze.

 

But, apart from the above:

As I was deciding on whether to add kill markings - I thought, maybe I wouldn’t artificially add kill markings and only do so after I actually used it to destroy stuff in Apoc. In the same vein, I was thinking, maybe I’ll leave it looking “brand new” until it’s been through a couple of battles before weathering it

[Brother Carpenter]

Very impressive. I searched for updates but couldnt find them. I think you might be the first to complete a titan of this size in an etl?

Weathering as you play is very narative. Did that to my templars during a long store tournament.

Adding scratches and trophys as I progressed.

Very nice model and paintwork. Hats off.

[Captain Semper]

ONE WEEK TO GO!

[Captain Semper]

Hey Kilofix, this is a mighty machine indeed! I have to congratulate you, first and foremost for putting this together - that must have been a huge challenge in itself... Then the paint job seems so clean and well defined. And I read in your blog that you had problems with the leg plates due to its posture... Well I'm glad you managed to overcome it - it is a problem I faces in the Adeptus Mechanics scale too...

 

Now the finishing touches... metal discolouration, decals and weathering... Crucius should be proud to have a titan such as this! 

 

But will you make it to the deadline?  I'm really nervous man! 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!
