ETL VII +++Chaos Space Marines Outpost+++

[Angel of Solitude]

 

 

I will withdraw this vow here and keep my Dark Angels, as I need to get them painted for a forthcoming tournament!

Well, with DA you will still paint traitors to the Emperor, so not all is bad.

Ah but with Thousand Sons I’d be painting loyalists!

[Excessus]

Finally I have gotten some colours on a marine, oooh I have been waiting for so long!

[Freakshow668]

I'll be honest, I didn't like that model when it came out, but seeing what you've done with it makes me want to give it a go.

[Captain Semper]

+++THIS IS THE CUT-OFF POINT FOR THE SECOND WEEKLY UPDATE+++

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

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Here the Sorcerer for the squad of Thousand Sons I'd shown in the last update. Try out the new Blood Angels red contrast paint mix with medium. The model just need to get varnish & then I can get some finial detail painted. Once that done, I'm thinking re-apply the gloss varnish over the red part of the armour as it really stand out on the model.

Currently it the shoulder pad, helmet & thigh that got gloss varnish applied & I've still got a few transfer to add as well.

Then the new squad of Thousand Sons with Sorcerer. I just need to add transfer to them as well & then varnish.

The finial part arrive for the Knight today, so that him all built. Is was another set of spikes from the Age of Sigmar Varanguard kit, which where added to the armour plate bottom of the leg & a few spike added to the hull as well. So this will get painted during next week.

Those Thousand Sons are beautiful, and the Sorceror in particular is just awesome! How did you do the metallic red?

- GW Gold spray-paint

- reikland shade

- druchi shade

- dry brush retributor armour

- dry brush golden griffon

- Contrast Blood Angel red mix with Medium.

 

Once the model been spray with Games Workshop varnish.  I'm going to go over the red armour plate with gloss varnish again due to way it look/think it look cool.

[Darnok]

Thanks a lot! That sounds like some work, but the results speak for themselves - I will give it a try for sure.

Week 3 is here! I did some reading, and going by the previous years we should look for some more steady recruiting. Some completions and re-vowing would also be great. CSM are still the single largest participant group of this ETL - let's keep it this way, and make those numbers count as well!

+++ETL VII - WEEK 2 UPDATE+++

[CMDR_Welles]

Vow 1 is primed. It isnt a true zenithal prime. With my old failing eyes, I was having trouble seeing after priming black lol!

 

I miss my Krome... Just not enough control with the Anthem 155...

 

 

Once I have the Contrast paints in hand (Tuesday or Wednesday), I'll have a better idea of whether they'll get a base of Grey Seer or Wraithbone. Looking forward to it.

[Freakshow668]

Finished my second squad and the rhino, and the dark apostle and disciples are 80% done. Just a third 5 man squad to do and I can call vow one completed. Confident I can get them done in time for the update next weekend.

[RolandTHTG]

I'm about 80% done with my vow. The infantry just need trims done (so much trim) and final details picked out. The contemptor needs trim, details, and guns finished, then final assembly/magnets.

Will hopefully finish today or tomorrow, then should be able to immediately re-vow.

[Dragonlover]

Folks, I'm flagging. I just can't muster the enthusiasm to paint right now.

 

Rest assured, I'll get it done, but this year might end up being a one-vow event on my end.

Congratulations to all of you for making so much progress! There's some seriously great models coming out :tu:

[Lysimachus]

That Lord is a beautiful mini, is he based on a plastic Obliterator? He must be around Abaddon sized?

 

Edit: Nope, looking at details is it a metal Oblit?

 

That's a seriously impressive vow Doc, you'd better get painting!!!

[Darnok]

Welcome Isengrin and Doctor Perils, great to have you around!

 

Folks, I'm flagging. I just can't muster the enthusiasm to paint right now.

 

Rest assured, I'll get it done, but this year might end up being a one-vow event on my end.

 

Dragonlover

Don't despair, this just happens every now and then - and it goes away again. Try to do something small every day, even if it might not be five minutes and an accent on one part of a single model. Small progress adds up over time! And one finished vow is one finished vow, nothing wrong with that.

Thanks man! Yeah he's based on one of the old obliterators and should be pretty close to Abaddon in terms of height. 

[Dwango]

There's some great vows come in and it's good to see that there's nearly some completions.

For me I've finished the fallen lord and just have the base to do for the master of execution. Then just the berserkers to do and that's vow 1 done (hopefully by next update at the latest).

[Darnok]

Great stuff Dwango!

 

The upcoming Apocalypse bundles feature CSM and Knights - the latter getting a Chaos codex soon. So, anybody tempted by these?

You're not the only one mate. I managed to pick up some new paints yesterday to give them a bash but even with them there, my motivation has hit a wall hard. New week though so hopefully things can get a boost and get a unit or two done. Just need to keep that butterfly syndrome down.

[Darnok]

Again, I can not recommend daily painting enough. Take a quarter of an hour, call it five minutes for setup and brushcleaning afterwards, giving you ten minutes of pure painting time. Even with one day off for unforeseen circumstances that is a full hour of painting per week, with the added bonus of daily progress. It might not sound like a lot, but even baby steps get you to the finish line sooner or later.

I was considering the Chaos one, until I saw it had bikes in it... If it had new kits, I'd jump on it to fill out my Black Legion more. But I cannot bring myself to buy anything with the old plastics... ugh...

 

I "might" get the Knight one, but to go with my Dark Angels themed Knight I've had since the original kit launched (still need to paint it sadly). But otherwise, for Chaos, gonna wait and see what they do for Chaos Knights before I buy anything

 

Really bummed about those bikes... such a waste. Terminators or havocs would have made it a no-brainer... Just... ugh...

[undeadsoldier]

Hey everyone I’m currently deployed in Afghanistan but I will be home mid-late July. When is the latest I can pledge? I went loyalist last year *gasp* but I’m back to chaos again and I’m planning on crushing some big vows in August!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

You have to make your first pledge before the end of June.  You then have until the end of August to finish it and make any further pledges.
