ETL VII +++Chaos Daemons Outpost+++

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

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

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Here's the model I was talking about - the mane doesn't come across quite as bright in the picture as it does in person.

 

 

Edit:  Here's my (fully painted?) hearseeker:

 

 

I did all the painting on her that I had planned to, except now I think she needs some highlights on her flesh.  What should I use as a highlight colour for Dryad Bark?

[Closet Skeleton]

No idea, I like the mount's skin though.

 

Humidity and temperature went down last night so I bought the bullet and sprayed my Fiends and nurglings so I'll be able to finish my first vow once I've got some Black Legion odds and ends out the way.

+++ETL VII - WEEK 3 UPDATE+++

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Glad you like it, CS.  Its just Flayed One Flesh with a Reikland Fleshshade ink.

 

Looking forward to seeing some more of your stuff here - ETL is always more fun when there is other's work to keep one inspired and motivated.

[Darnok]

A random Herald of Nurgle (plus cheerleaders) says hello!

 

 

 

He just happened to be on the painting table alongside the rest of my ETL stuff. Apparently getting some paint splashed on him every now and then still gets him done!

 

Just some support for the Daemons Outpost, keep it coming my warpbrethren!

[Closet Skeleton]

Started on fiends. Flesh is lahmian medium and pink horror, tongues are new contrast volupus pink, black is contrast black templar.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Those look great, CS!  I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

 

Yours look good too, Darnok.

[Captain Semper]

Haha, the Daemons at work! And Drank too! :lol:

 

Splendid! now let's see if there are any more Daemons to join!

------------------------------

 

THIS IS THE LAST FULL WEEK OF RECRUITMENT - IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN DO SO FAST!

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Finished painting my seekers, which means as soon as they are based I'll be done my first vow.  I'll post pics when basing is done, which should be Friday.

[Closet Skeleton]

Nurglings for the GUO's base.

Far left was a test of Contrast Ork flesh, middle one is in the style of TabletopTactics' mascot, the rest are to match colours in my army.

Those look great, CS! I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Yours look good too, Darnok.

gotta get Abaddon ready for the 6th of july so that will slow me down but then I have the Masque and a Contorted Epitome I need for the 14th so I better get that vow in a state I can throw down another one.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Your nurglings are great - I love how you've managed such diverse colours but how they all look like the belong together - quite often different coloured nurglings together look they belong in different armies, but you've really managed to avoid that.

 

Well, I've finished my seekers - behold!

 

 

Which means I've finished my first vow!

 

 

Which means its time to revow!  All the effort of my last vow to paint 27 models for only 365 points, I thought I would paint some high value units.

 

 

 

I, Dr. Ruminahui, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side Slaanesh and vow to complete the following on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me the rapturous gaze of my Lord/Lady, but failure his/her great rath and doom my soul to the warp.

 

Renegade knight with avenger gatling cannon with heavy flamer, rapid-fire battle cannon with heavy stubber, stormspear rocket pod & meltagun (and titanic feet) - 535 points

The Contorted Epitome (AKA the Fastest Mirror) - 195 points

Syl'Esske (AKA the Dynamic Duo) - 210 points

 

For a total vow of 940 points.

[Closet Skeleton]

I'm not going to base all of my vow before declaring it finished but I've gotten started on the GUO.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Looks great!

[Captain Semper]

@ Dr. Ruminahui: Well done sir! They look awesome and I have to congratulate your effort on the bases too! Really colourful and very Slaaneshi! And a brave re-vow! :woot: Good luck to you!

 

@ Closet Skeleton: That GUO looks fantastic! Please carry on with the basing - it looks very promising and gives the entire model a spectacular finish! :yes:

Shame for such a huge vow to be out of competition. If you had been just about 3 hours earlier. 

[Dahkness00]

been trying to get in for 2 days to post this. waited on password reset from system

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Contact Captain Semper (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/user/27176-captain-semper/) and maybe he can make an exception for you, given the circumstances.

[Panzer]

Yeah I hope it works out for you.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Well, one weekend in (Monday was a holiday - happy 152nd birthday, Canada) to my 2nd vow and I thought I would share my progress.

 

Here is my knight so far - the colours on the shields are placeholders, and I'm not sure about the pink (when done, it will all be the colour on the arrmour on the meltagun under its left (our right) shoulder). 

 

 

What I am really happy with are his guns, which are almost done - together, they are almost the cost of my entire first vow.

 

 

That's probably more edge highlighting than I've done before in my life, but I love the effect.

 

 

So, question time - any opinions on how I should paint my knight?  I want it to fit in with both my chaos armies - my daemonettes and my emperor's children - I've included representative samples of both armies in the picture above.

 

Now, some things I'm set on:

-  The shoulders (now gray) will be white, with a bright red scale symbol on the front right (back right and whether I will have anything on the left under the spikes are undecided).

-  The centre carapace and at least half the colour on the lower armour will the purple I'm currently using.

- The guns stay dark purple.  The gunshields can and likely will change, but will have gold trim.

-  The gold needs a drybrush, and should hopefully end up looking like the gold on the missile launcher.

 

I'm thinking the pink top carapace is too much, and I do want some pink, but not sure how much.  The least amount would be just the gun shields, but I'm afraid that will leave it too purple if I do the armour all purple and looking too much like my CSM.  If I kept the pink to just the gun shileds, I could swap the pink out for a third colour - maybe ushabi bone.

 

Anyway, your thoughts are most welcome.
