Tyriks Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I was going to test a new base option tonight, actually. I found the paints I used on terrain pieces, and I got some astrogranite debris. I'll slop it on there and then paint over it and see how it looks. It'll probably have better visual depth than the Martian crust, I'll try that out and if I like it I'll base this before I vow again.

Tyriks Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) My terrain paints sat too long, I think. It's astrogranite debris under a very rich red topped with a bright orange drybrush. The red seemed fine but the orange was pretty thick and viscous, kinda sludgy. It did not go on very well. I'll leave it for this base but I'll need to get new ones before I do any smaller bases. Not sure yet how I'll paint the debris. I have a game in the morning, I should be able to finish this right after. Here it is on the battlemat I'm trying to match. Not too bad, I think.

Tyriks Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Alright, I got the debris painted so time to consider another vow. I have a lot of unpainted warriors but I just don't know if I'll have the patience to get a squad done in time. I also have a few vehicles and at least one character to consider. I'll decide soon. I'll probably just vow whatever characters I can find and paint everything else after the ETL.

Tyriks Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Digging around looking for characters I found the perfect vow, so here goes. I vow to paint by the end of this month 5 destroyers (250 pts), one destroyer lord with staff of light and resurrection orb (155 points), one lord with a staff of light (75 points), one overlord with a warscythe (93 points). I considered making the Scythe a Voidscythe since that's kind of what the model is, but I doubt I'd ever field him with one so I felt like it would be disingenuous. So if we lose by about 11 points, we all know who to blame. The paint is dry to the touch already so I might just give it another little bit and jump right in... Edit sorry the total point value is 573.

NTaW Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Just white and a wash left for me to do! It's been hard finding the time but this will be done when I get home later tonight. Captain Semper, I recently got a bunch of models that I could vow but they are already painted by the previous owner. I plan on repainting them entirely but don't plan on priming them first since the initial coat is thin enough I don't really need to go through the strip/spray process to get what I want out of the models. Am I allowed to vow them? Captain Semper, MithrilForge and Tyriks 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyriks Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) This went much quicker than expected and I'm ready to call it done. Wish I had more destroyers to paint! The destroyers: The destroyer lord: The lord. I primed him gunmetal and then brushed on Grey seer on the cloak so it would look different than his shoulders. I cannot for the life of me tell that it's different, so future cloaked Lords will probably have Magos Purple cloaks instead. Or just go back to Xereus or something. And finally, Nomarch Ka Sairon. I'm even more pleased with this conversion now that he's painted! I'm considering doing one shoulder in a dark blue as a visual cue for him and any cc units I paint to be a different dynasty, but first I'd need to actually get some proper cc units. I'm leaving the base blank for now, when he makes a glorious kill I'm going to model his defeated enemy on the base. Now I'm back where I was yesterday morning. I have one more vow, and I do have a Monolith to paint, but I don't know if I'm ready to paint that yet. If I don't do that I might at least do a few Wraiths or something. I'll have to sleep on that!

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Mighty efforts indeed from you, Phaeron! I think that’s a full vow, made and completed, in less than 2 days! Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyadventurer Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nice job guys! I'm happy to report in that even though I was messing around with Warcry stuff most of the weekend, I still managed to get all the bases done for my 60ish infantry pieces and only need to finish the gauss glow effect now -- admittedly that is the part I dread the most and really want to drag my feet on. If I can get them done over the next few evenings, I think I can motor through another small pledge before the end.

Tyriks Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yeah, those are complete. I'm priming everything I have left while I consider what to do for vow 5. I'll probably try to decide by tomorrow. Captain Semper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Well, there's no glory in silver, so here's my fifth vow: One Monolith (320) and 6 Wraiths without any upgrades (288) totaling 608 points. If I can get the monolith done quickly I feel confident I can get the Wraiths taken care of. We will see!

Tyriks Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I am actually thinking I should have vowed a little bigger. The Monolith is done and the Wraiths are probably 1/3 done. If I can get time to paint this weekend I might be able to wrap up. NTaW and Captain Semper 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end NTaW, Captain Semper, MithrilForge and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 A trick indeed, Boyadventurer! Hopefully you can complete that vow before the end of the month! In my own progress reporting, I'm pleased to say that after a minor heart attack about missing pieces, I've made significant progress on my seraptek and the rest of my vow. The characters, destroyer, and scarabs are done, leaving me with the seraptek and wraiths left to finish. I may just have a real shot at this.

Tyriks Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 And I am done! Should have vowed more after all. The Monolith: Other angle: And then the wraiths: Their backs: I think this is the first time I've finished even two vows, so I'm pretty happy with getting all 5 done!
