Cleon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) With another year finished and more side projects building up, I've decided to try and focus myself by showing my progress (or lack thereof) focusing on my Imperial Projects (first?) Although there will be periods of inactivity when I'm working on some of my historicals and my Death guard. I don't expect to hit all my targets, but the visible reminder they are out there should stop me from quite as many impulse purchases...

Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Wasn't sure what to make of them at first but after clicking the pictures and getting a better look they look promising!

Cleon Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Skitarii 26-30 done and the 30 plus the two Enginseers based: I need to set up a better photo position somewhere, the overhead energy saving bulbs don't do them any favours (Not that they are my best work, the cloak effects just didn't work and they ended up a bit bloccked out) Next 5 Intercessors mostly done, need Decals, basing and a bit of touching up Started the Deathwatch, Librarian, Wolf and Dangle from the Kill team mostly done, but need more washes and highlights (and the space wolves knee detail looks rubbish) Then grabbed the other three 'foot' vets (Fist, Ultra and Iron hand), got them built and sprayed along with the Onager. Picked up Mortal reals to try out some gold recipes for the Custodes on the Stormcast. Next up for build is some more Blood Angels & a pair of robots.

Majkhel Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 You're going like crazy, brother! And chugging out good TT quality as well. Mind saving some BA goodnes for the ETL? ;)Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Cleon Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 If there was a chance I'd have my Blood Angles all done before May, I'd take it :), but realistically I'll have plenty of Angels left for the ETL. Even if I manage to get this project done, there's all my scouts and the 4th Company still to do...

Cleon Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Didn't manage to take any photos last weekend, so a double update (and a slight 'pinking' effect from the lights in the games room, need to try somewhere else next time) Blood Angels: Lt. and Intercessors completed: First 5 Reivers (that I missed in the to do list...) also done: Deathwatcch: Kill Team Cassius mostly done, (Terminator and Biker to do) Ad Mech: Pair of robots and pet datasmith done: Onager tank in progress: Also, (not pictured), 5 Custodes (including Vexalia), 5 more Reivers, 3 Inceptors and the legs sub assembly of the Questoris knight built and undercoated. Next build project probably grey hunters.

Cleon Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Decent progress, even if the parade of storms has seriously limited my opportunities to undercoat models... Finished (although the pictures showed me a few touch ups I need to do I hadn't spotted): The second 5 Reivers: The first 5 Custodes: The 'legs' sub assembly of the Questoris knight: Then WIP continues: I'm lacking inspiration for the DW bike and terminator, they may drag on for a while getting bits here and there as I have paints open BA Plasma Inceptors coming along Onager just needs the little icon I found on the knight sprue finishing up and attaching to the front, then the base doing Not bad two months of progress, 10 Grey hunters, the knight torso (minus armms and head) and a Custodes bike captain (first slip purchase of the year) in flight for undercoating whenever the wind/rain dies down.

Cleon Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 More progress, Primarily the Knight done, he's come out slightly darker red than the first, but not too much so: Also got the three Plasma Inceptors done - still working with micro sol to try and get the knee decals better set (the big GW sheet decals are pretty stiff), will glue them to flight stnads once happy with that. And the Jetbike Captain for the Custodes done as a fun little side add on The grey hunters are built, bases done and started on the first batch, still trying to get the grey were I want it. Dark Vengence tactial squad built and sprayed green for the Dangles Majkhel, Sgt. Blank and Lasuria 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361006-2020-imperial-backlog-clearance-project/#findComment-5492683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good job, brother! :) Although I heartily recommend you do not use the flight stands - they break a lot. I myself have already broken 3 of those, which is something considering I have only 5 Inceptors still attached to those (had 6). One managed to break when I was picking a model up from the magnetic tray. And that was only a 4x2mm magnet resistance.

Cleon Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Well isolation is at least good for something... Dark Angels Tactical squad done and the first few Grey hunters finished (other 6 in progress.), Overall I'm not too far off a quater of the wway threw at the end of March.

Majkhel Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I like this colour scheme on the SoS. Very austere. They do need some other colour on their bases though :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361006-2020-imperial-backlog-clearance-project/#findComment-5502434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yep, I tend to base models last otherwise I rub a load of it off holding the base when I paint them. They're coming along quite well, I had to gold up the shoulders a little as the brass disappeared in poor light.

Cleon Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Sisters of Silence now done: The next pair of robots and the Dark Vengence Dark Angels characters and Deathwing now being undercoated, the Helverins and next batch of Space wolves next up for assembly Majkhel 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361006-2020-imperial-backlog-clearance-project/#findComment-5503623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) FistBots done, took advantage of having the appropriate paints open to also finish off the bits of the Onager that's been hanging about: Also got the Deathwing done, I hadn't really twigged how little they had in common with the characters (bone -white terminators, green Captain, blue Librarian and black Chaplain), so the characters have lagged behind.

Cleon Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Errgh a bit of a break between posts, turns out painting two Helverins at once was a bit too big a batch and I got sidetracked and started procrastinating (which is good news for my WW2 Germans who've been waiting ages for their armoured train to get painted), but I also worked on some more Space Wolves at the same time: Next up my Redemptor Dreadnought for the LPC: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361006-2020-imperial-backlog-clearance-project/#findComment-5521537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleon Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Excellent work on the Redemptor. Thanks, I'm really pleased how it came out, I have a half finished old assault on black reach snapfit dread I'd started to paint in Mephiston red when the new paints first came out and I couldn't get the red to pop properly like the old blood red - I think I've finally got it (how many years later?) More progress - Grey hunters (built to the pattern of the Stormclaw squad) Working on the Tech priest Dominus and have built and sprayed the remaining Custodes and Sisters as well as Krom and the other Space wolf characters. With ETL delayed I might do a small batch of Blood Angels after that as they are lagging behind a little Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361006-2020-imperial-backlog-clearance-project/#findComment-5536434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
