Half the month has sneaked up on me and is already gone and I am yet to pick up a brush. Better make a vow and get started.

 

Last month I painted 10 Votann Hearthkyn for the Call to Arms. So this month I better go and paint some more, total goal is 30 for the Call to Arms, only 20 to go...

Forgot to re-vow my July vow for August so here it goes:
I, Majkhel of the Blood Angels, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete any of the 6 Terminator models (TDA Captain, TDA Librarian, 4-man Terminator squad) for the glory of the Angel by month's end.

And it just so happens that I can share the second Terminator squad member - the Brother-Sergeant:

Now I have 2 of the new guys and they are great models! I hope next battle-brothers will go faster now that I'm getting a proper feel of the newer sculpts

Finished the guardsmen! Haven’t painted any of my Cantorellian 23rd in a bit, had a goodly amount of fun with them!

Really happy with the gunner tbph! Six different kits involved plus a base I cut out of a cardboard coaster. Purity deal isn’t my best work but done is better than perfect.

So to share a bit of painfully slow progress:

 

Terminator Captain done:

As well as the Barbgaunts:

Good lord this is taking far longer then it should, and far longer then I can afford it too.  Shaping up to needing to do most of Leviathan as well as two months of Imperium in one month.....

Photo makes it look better then in person, but thanks a lot mate. 

Well, I find it hard to believe ;) From my experience, the opposite is usually true.  But I really want to stress that I dig the orange colour scheme! It works really well.

I'm not making the same mistake three times - here's my vow, AHEAD of completion this time.

 

 

For the month of August, I, Ace Debonair, vow to complete two (2) Hearthkyn Salvagers of my still-brand-new LoV Kill Team! May my beer become water should I fail.

Grabbing a Medic and a Theyn this time - let's see how long it takes to finish them off.

Librarian complete... And with it the end of a era in my Hobby.

 

I am switching painting ranges from GW to 2 Thin Coats. So my new Ultramarines will be a little darker.

Going to call these guys done for now.  I know they are baseless but I intend on doing all the marines from Leviathan at once with bases to try to speed up the process.  At least the transfers worked for the most part (despite being a little crooked).  I have taken @Majkhel on the Chapter symbol, cutting down an Ultramarine Agemmo to be a crescent moon with the sword from the Dark Angel transfer striking into it.  Just struggling to get them to sit neatly where I need.

Now to bash out some Terminators in a day or two and then try to squeeze something else into the month as well...

August vows finished- Marneus Calgar and two Victrix Guard, Primaris Librarian, Librarian in Terminator Armor,  Apothecary Biologis, and LT with Combi-Weapon. Leviathan marines finished, so half of my Call to Arms done, now on to a bunch of Sisters...

I find when applying transfers over transfers it is better to first seal the lower transfer with a thin layer of gloss varnish. It is protected and stays put in this manner when applying the second transfer. (Or the third etc).

Just make sure to use thinned varnish to prevent too thick layers.

 

Nice looking marines!!!!
