The Unofficial LPC-BA Outpost (event support)

[Majkhel]

Yay, another one for Sanguinius! :)

[Leonaides]

I, Leonaides, vow to complete a single brother of the mighty first company of the Blood Angels, the Archangels, for the Glory of the the Blood Angels chapter and forum on or by the 15th of August 2020, or bare the Badge of Shame until year's end.

With his storm-bolter and power fist shall he smite the grey-hued foes of the God-Emperor forever more.

So, got my backside in gear, undercoat can ready to go and am now WFH for a month or so. The plan is to have this guy painted tomorrow evening (in a separate friendly paint a model in a night challenge with local gaming buds). Time to kick this pig.

[Majkhel]

And lo, the esteemed Leonaides joins the fray on wings of wrath!

 

Lovely Terminator model! :)

[Captain Antargo]

Yeah, i've always liked that model.

[Jolemai]

Vow Complete

[Leonaides]

Leonaides reporting a completion of an angry Archangel. Someone appears to have scratched his paintwork but i think he'll make them regret it...

(of course seeing the blown up images i also see a few touch-ups which need to be done - always the way!)

Any thoughts on what to put on his kneepad? I'm wondering about a crenelation down the middle in black, into the white half of the pad...

[appiah4]

I still have not started my DC Tycho, this is not looking good..

[Majkhel]

Excellent job Leonaides! Love the Fist. The chipping across the model is great and really nice job on thlowing eye-lenses. 

The only thing I would point as missing is the rope on which the little Aquila icon is hanging ;)

But still - a fantastic model and you did it justice

No worries appiah! It happens to all of us at one point of time or another. Definitely don't force yourself into this, don't walk around it. Work something else and after some time, check if your motivation returned. If not, repeat the process. Take care! :)

[Leonaides]

Yeah, the rope, the waist gem on his belt crux, touch ups round the lenses on his shoulder targeter/camera unit. These will all get done tonight I think, but considering I couldn't find my usual painting gear/brushes/washes for half the night I think he's pretty good.

[OriginPainting]

Submitted this one at the end of the month. One more Gold for Sanguinius. 

[Leonaides]

Every time i see that first image i think its a painting, not a model...

 

Now, because im not going to just paint and run - i have a few options for some more fine upstanding astartes to enter into the LPC to help support. Any preferences on one of the following:

 

Another SM Heroes Terminator (probably the cyclone guy)

or

SM firstborn tactical marine

or

Landspeeder (the first one i'll paint since they made the plastic version - not going to lie, i think it looks ugly compared to the sleeker but still bulky 2nd ed versions)

[Jolemai]

Maybe save the Land Speeder for a potential ETL vow?

[Leonaides]

Nahh, it'll be a pig with little points to be gained. I've got better models to do than that for etl.

[Jolemai]

Ten days left if you want gold folks!

[Leonaides]

Scratch that... I've had an idea! Its a secret.

[Leonaides]

I'll just leave this here... (and the lovely original box art paint scheme below)

But - do i do an oldstyle paint scheme as above, or try for a more modern version (less orange and cartoony)? Do i go for the white-armoured captain/sergeant or red? Thoughts appreciated gents/ladies/xenos fiends...

[Majkhel]

Oh wow! Now that's a real treasure 

I would definitely go 'modern' on them in terms of colour choosing. You might keep the retro squad designation markings as they are always nice to see. 

[Leonaides]

i might just post the cartoon strip in the rulebook too. It doesn't end well for the marines.

[appiah4]

OK, I am starting on Tycho tonight.  I have what, 4 nights until the 15th?  It will betight!  I think I can get him finished, sans the banner.

[Majkhel]

It will be good to see your take on this classic, appiah!

 

It's unlike us to have the numerical superiority for once, but it definitely feels good :D

[Indefragable]

I'm about 90% done with Primaris Meph. Need to do some endless touchup and the base and then I'll get him up here. 

[Damon Nightman]

I, Brother Lemartes, vow to complete a single Company Veteran with 2 chainswords for the Blood Angels chapter and forum on or by the 15th of August 2020, or bare the Badge of Shame until year's end.

 

 

 

 

I'm in this

[Thoridon]

At the risk of sounding wrong, I put some milliput in Mephiston's crack.

 

With that all set I'll have a few days to get him painted for Gold.

[Jolemai]

Crack?

[Thoridon]

A small gap in the cloak where two parts didn't meet properly.
