ETL VII: After the Dawn of Shadows


Dracos

Recommended Posts

Sons of Corax the time is now for those who haven't already, to step from the shadows and share your Vows.

No excuses, everyone had time for one model over the next few months .... don't be me last years and over vow. Start with a Captain or Dreadnought those are always fun to paint. Just vow and start now :smile.:


I, Dracos of the Ordo Astartes, as a friend to the Warhawks <Raven Guard> rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Adeptus Astartes and vow in the name of the Shadow Council to complete two squads of five Aggressors of total value 370 points on or 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.

Full vows in the outpost, but I guess this can serve for future WiPs too.

First vow (868p) is in progress. Redemptor has gradients and most details, needs washes and weathering. As I want to use that guy in a game tomorrow, I'll try to finish it tonight. Yeah, there's no motivation like a deadline...

Next up would be the Infiltrators. With that amount of detail, it's going to take a while, but at least those guys are expensive in points.

 

Second vow is being prepared. A Deathstorm Drop Pod is ready (no pics - it's not converted), and the Repulsor is coming along a bit further. Sandbags are placed where they'd hopefully make sense (in the weaker part of the front armour, especially in front of the view slit, and around the turret mount to close up that weak spot). Finished parts were basecoated, everything else now just needs details (gear etc.) and then it's ready to go.

Rinse Wash Repeat ;)

Put in a little work on the ETL Vow today.

Army Green spray paint went on a tad thicker than I like. My fault but workable. Put Dragon Red then Pure Red on all 10 Aggressors before giving it a break. I'll finish them up with Spiritstone Red next session. Decided to start playing around with how much Black (eventually drybrushed with Hardened Carapace) and started with this guy.

The gun is a honking huge amount of black. I'll use Brass on the bolt ammo but pretty set on keeping all Warhawk field weapons matt black. the Aquila will get a gold similar to the Hellblasters and Intercessors. My one concession to the pseudo-camo theme. The pauldrons will be black also. I think with the hip plates and joint caps on the legs that should be enough.

ANY ideas are welcome however. Thanks guys

Wow! Amazing progress here - congratulations everyone! We have a bit of everything, new recruits, completions, re-vowings! Great stuff... If you keep this momentum, you'll be able to threaten Chaos Space Marines - and it is about time too! :biggrin.:

Yeah...so, how are your vows going?

 

My first vow is done except for the 5 Hellblasters. Hopefully those will finish next weekend, then I can start the next.

Just the current heat wave is a problem...the 10 Infiltrators started frosting when I sealed them. Bummer, I'll wait with the aggressors and hellblasters until it's significantly cooler.

About halfway through the 10 Aggressors. I needed to test the faux-camo idea on a model before diving in. I worked on the aquila's today. Should be able to put black on the bits I need tomorrow. After that some drybrushing. So still gonna be a few days.

 

Ouch yeah I hate it when the seal coat does that. Had a model last summer I had to fix, a whole squad has to hurt.
