It has begun.

 

We need more activity in the WIP thread brothers!

...Would activity in the Completed models thread be an acceptable alternative?

 

That's one down, and one to go for me!

[Dosjetka]

Well brother- @Chaplain Dosjetka! It appears I have the pleasure of bringing a Praetor to life! Any tips on how to paint a dual colored marine?

Paint half of the armour in the lightest of the two colours (in this case, off-white grey), and then touch up the middle line and fill in the rest of the armour with the other colour (green). :)

Thanks! I'll try to do the best I can...sadly I can't begin until after Christmas...so I shall hibernate 'till then. Hopefully I can make up for it with a good model, rather than using just a 3-pack marine.

[Brother Cambrius]

And my first efforts are now posted in the WIP thread of golfdeltafoxtrot's Grey Ravens. :D

[Ace Debonair]

I humbly present Brother Arnton of the Asperos Astra (Currently seconded to the White Hawks) and Falrust, Lord of Corpses from the Angels of Decay (a recurring thorn in the side of the White Hawks )



Arnton's the first Intercessor I've ever painted - gotta say, I'm pretty happy with him.

Come to that, Falrust is the first Nurgle marine I've ever painted, and he turned out to be the most fun I've had painting for a long time! Maybe I should give more thought to that Nurgle Warband I keep promising myself I'll work on...


Oh, I also discovered the colour I was planning on using for the Knights Oracular (eventually) comes out a lot more blue than green, to my honest confusion - it looks green until it goes dry, then turns decidedly blue.
I can't decide if I should just update the Painter pic in their article to reflect this - I still really like the colour, even if it wasn't as green as it first looked!

[WarriorFish]

Is everyone keeping up with updates in the WIP topic? If not here's mine:

Just the base colours of course, but first steps start somewhere :)

[WarriorFish]

Getting there now, core colours are done:

I expect to get him mostly finished next weekend, base might take a bit longer as I decide what to do :P

[golfdeltafoxtrot]

Completed. More pictures in the completions thread.

[WarriorFish]

Everyone beavering away on their models still I assume? :P

Nearly there :)

[Berzul]

Completed.

And, the finished model,

 

[Berzul]

I apologize for the icon on the shoulderpads... i simply do NOT have the ability to do them freehand. Id rather keep em bare, than butchering them.

[WarriorFish]

Great work, the purple is very nice indeed - don't forget to post in the official completed model topic :tu:

[Berzul]

Done!

[WarriorFish]

Me too ;)

I'm really pleased with how he came out in the end, I wasn't sure if I could pull the colours off when I got the Champions Eternal but everything came together :) I particularly like the red so I'm glad I changed it a bit so it felt a better fit with the gold than what I originally tried.

For those yet to complete don't forget to keep us updated on your progress :tu:

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

I have one model (the Star Leopards) close to done, but I still need to do the base, and a little extra for it. Also maybe source a jump pack. 

I have models for the other two but they currently require a lot of paint I don't yet have. Anyone have a good recommendation for a grey primer that isn't 20 bucks a can?

[WarriorFish]

Is everyone still working hard on their vows? Updates have been slow and I'm keen to see more! :P

[Kelborn]

According to my plan, I'll do my miniature (aka test mini from my local GW store) on the 18th of December.

[Dosjetka]

Have been kept away from my hobby desk since October but I'm planning to sit down and get some hobbying done tomorrow. Hopefully I can get started on the model I have to paint! :)

[Brother Lunkhead]

As almost all of my minis, bitz, and hobby gear are packed in the back of our storage vault (with the exception of a small tool box full of basic supplies), this project is a bit of a logistical challenge (….and I DO love a challenge). Fortunately I have been allotted a few ducats for this most worthy challenge. I should have all supplies by Thursday and will head off to my corner in my FLHS and get this done. 

[Brother Lunkhead]

So far so good...… All supplies have been procured I've got paints, brushes, and other implements of construction necessary for this project. Most importantly I have lots of cool CSM Raptor pieces parts to make what will hopefully be a White Talon to make Brother Argent proud...… This should be fun

[WarriorFish]

The deadline is 23:59 GMT on the 1st of January - let's see who can get their completions in, don't forget to keep us updated on progress :tu:

[Brother Cambrius]

   +++ TWO WEEKS LEFT TO GO! +++    

 

Yes indeed, this decade is into it's final few days and so is this marvellous event. Just a reminder, the event closes at 23:59GMT on January 1st. So you have New Year's Day to also finish off as needed too. 

 

Good luck and keep at it!

 

Cambrius

[Berzul]

Best of efforts to everyone!! Looking forward to seeing so many awesome miniatures being painted.

[Ace Debonair]

We near the final approach, brothers - ready yourselves!

Let's show everyone the Liber crew can do more than just throw words around.

 

May The Emperor (and / or the Dark Gods, as appropriate) keep your paints smooth and your hands steady!
