Closet Skeleton Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Wont start on these guys for a week or two. Welcome to the Expansion, JAG T! And the Invaders are looking good, CS. How are you doing the Chapter symbol: decals or freehand? Freehand so far but I've also mostly been doing an incomplete badge with just a star with no skull.

Aothaine Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Great work everyone! I'll be getting my miniatures tonight!!! Still working on which paints I want to use because I want a really bright yellow for my boys but I'll edit this post later with my vow! Going with the Easy to Build Intercessors :D Just need to find a place to be able to work on my models and I'll be doing that on my lunch! Super excited to see how this might turn out!

Kinstryfe Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm interested, as a Lamenters player, in contributing something out of respect to the OG boys in yellow. Anyone have a homebrew chapter that wants to see someone else do a take on a model for it?

Aothaine Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I, Aothaine, vow in the name of Rogal Dorn and the Argent Fists to complete 2 Lieutenants by 11th November 2019.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I, Aothaine, vow in the name of Rogal Dorn and the Argent Fists to complete 2 Lieutenants by 11th November 2019. For Dorn, Terra, and the Emperor! My suggestion: Pose the Marines so their left arms (the ones whose hands are gripping the pistols) are horizontal, and angle the heads so it looks like the Marines are aiming the pistols at a target. That will make the models look more active, i.e., they're in battle.

That will make the models look more active, i.e., they're in battle. These are really just test models. Not to concerned about their poses. More concerned about getting the yellows and black right on the quartered color scheme I've chosen. Future marines will have more dynamic poses. These are the easy to build models from the dark Imperium starter box.

Aothaine Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Welcome to the event, Aothaine! Good luck with the quartered scheme you've chosen. It is coming along nicely so far. I've already learned a bunch! I live in Reno, NV and it is arid and hot. Here are some lessons I've learned. 1) Never prime during the day. Wait for it to cool down at night so the spray doesn't dry before it hits the model. Both my models have all sorts of bumps on them. I'm thinking of getting some really soft sandpaper to rub the model down and get those bumps off. 2) Iyanden Yellow & the Sulfur look in GW's example. To get this look you want as little paint as possible on the miniature. You want to put it on then immediately soak up all excess and spread the paint around. Make sure it is really really thing. Watering down some of the paint might be a good idea here as well. I am going to try and pick up a few more models tonight and build and prime them to test out this theory. Right now the two boys have a very orange look to them and not that soft yellow I was hoping for. I can correct it I think. But once I get the process down it is going to look fantastic! 3) When working with test models, always work with one model at a time.

nusphigor Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello Brothers!I got these minis to a point in which I can say they are finished for now, so i suppose i completed my vow :)I still have to base them but i guess that goes out of the vow because i am planning to paint the whole army first so i can do a consistent terrain across all of my minis. Here is a pic of them but you can see more in depth pics of my army if you want, just follow DORN Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357646-painting-event-sons-of-dorn-expansion-vi/page/3/#findComment-5386532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizara Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I, Rizara, Vow in the name of Rogal Dorn and the Imperial fists, to paint up one Primaris Chaplain by the 11th of November, 2019. For Dorn, for Terra, and For the Emperor!!!! To be honest I am going to throw this guy in along with everything else I am working on. Its a long shot, but I can at least finish a character. If I can get everything else on my plate done and this guy, maybe I can finish painting up something else like my tanks. Even though I am airbrushing the lot, i am mostly just basecoating the army in yellow and some black with first highlights, as its a means to procrastinate on what I really need to be working on and i just want to play with the new toy (airbrush).

Dosjetka Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Storm Raven update: *snip* Starting on the internals next. Curious as to how you hold the various pieces while you paint them individually? Regardless, solid progress and it's great to see your Sentinels still going strong after so many years. :tu: I, Rizara, Vow in the name of Rogal Dorn and the Imperial fists, to paint up one Primaris Chaplain by the 11th of November, 2019.

Marshal Reinhard Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Maybe a bit cheeky, but I changed the head of a model that I already painted and declared finished here before. I think most would agree he just works so much better now though.

Looking forward to seeing your second vow completed. :tu: Reinhard: Aye, much prefer that head. A real shame they never ended up releasing that Dark Angels Chaplain as a separate blister pack.
