Tallarn Commander Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hello everyone, the pledges are coming along nicely! I finished my 2nd pledge, Decimus and Taloghast, 2 Chaos Chosen for 2 points. Decimus and Taloghast Decimus from front Action shot of Decimus chopping a Flesh Hound in half at a tournament last weekend Taloghast from front Taloghast from rear Decimus from rear Action shot of Taloghast chopping up a Obliterator (well the squad's 2 powerfists really are the ones that killed the Oblit) :) Ave Dominus Nox!

Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Had a long weekend, which allowed me to get both my Lucius and Thunderhammer Lord done. Here they are: If you are so enclined, you can see more photos of Lucius and my noise marines here and my hammer lord here. Lot going on here this past week - good to see. Keep up the work everyone! @Cpt.Danjou - I hope your circumstances have improved to let you put some more work into your MoE and termies. @Brother Captain Arkley - You had mentioned vowing some mini minis - you in a position to do that yet? @Brother Argent - Working on vows for the enemy strongholds first is not acceptable! Indeed, its trechery! And as we all know, one thing that is absolutely unacceptable to the traiter legions is treachery! /s In all seriousness, good luck on your other vows and I hope you can turn your attention to your chaos vow soon - as a stronghold, we are still quite far behind. @gaurdian31 - Your havocs look great! Your legionaires are really coming along and look great as well. @Cactus - Good to see you getting some paint onto your own hammerlord - so far it looks great. Be interesting to compare how each of ours does that model - as it currently stands, it is at least 3 different vows. @legoman - Thanks for the compliment. Your havocs look great too and I'm looking forward to the last 2. @Boc - Your knight is awesome - you should be proud! Really makes me tempted to pick one up one for myself. Good start on the wardog as well - it will be interesting to see how you do the wardog to fit in with his big brother. @crimsondave - Your black legion sorcerer and hammer lord look great, and is an excellent first attempt at the colourscheme. You might want to try highlighting the black, as from what I've seen that is what is really necessary to have black legion look their best. You sure do have a lot of trim ahead of you, though... @Tallarn Commander - Your cultist and chosen are great. My understanding is you have 1 chaos vow left and 2 months left to complete it - you thinking of tossing a larger vow in for chaos to top things off? @Plaguecaster - Your nurgle predator is such a great kitbash and looks great painted. Any thoughts on another vow? @sitnam - Your bestiginaries look great! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. @renegadeguard - Your Mutantchans are great - I imagine they will look even better when you have them painted. Can't wait! @Valkia the Bloody - Welcome and thanks for throwing your hat into the ring! I'm eager to see if, in khornate fashion, you will "paint the walls red". @spiros14 - I like your assembled heresy era predator - that's such a nice kit. Your two warriors are also great - that tiny tatoo is fantastic. @Metzombie - Welcome as well, and that is a very nurgly first vow! @Celtic_cauldron, @Muskie, @Trixie, and @Teetengee, hope you have all been able to work on your vows - we are all eager to here how they are progressing.

I didn’t highlight the black on the sorcerer. I may go back and do that…..one day. The Lord did have some highlights but the dark reaper didn’t show up in the picture too well. It’s pretty light anyway. I’m trying Black Templar contrast over a metallic undercoat on the legionaries. It’s just too many to do much highlighting on. It’s definitely a process that’s going to take longer than I hoped. Dr_Ruminahui, Grotsmasha, TrawlingCleaner and 8 others 9 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kythnos Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Man, with all those beautiful IW miniatures in here, I definitely feel the urge to paint as well. Still some weeks before I am done with renovating our home and being able to unpack all painting stuff again, but hopedully with enough time left until September 30 Edited August 8, 2023 by Kythnos gaurdian31 and Dr_Ruminahui 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Danjou Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Just a little question? How do you stick the participation badge to your signature?

The base is a scenic resin historically from Secret Weapon Miniatures, which can now be bought from Elrik's Hobbies. The blood goop is just Elmer's clear glue with red paint added to it. The smoke stacks are screaming bell base, dry brushed with runefang silver and washed with reikland flesh shade.

Cactus Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I thought it was time for another update. Only some highlights and tidy-up to do. And whatever I decide to do with his face.

crimsondave Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Almost a week later than my last post and 12 more to go. This is brutal. I’m not hating the way they look though. The contrast black over the metallic gold gives the black a little something. Not nearly as good as highlights but when you’re doing 30 it’s fine with me. I don’t have the ability to do much beyond basic anyway. YouTube and newer, better paints are the only reason I can paint at all. Spoiler This guy is nothing special from a skill perspective but I like the way he turned out. I had a goof on the mouth and decided to use some tesseract glow on it instead of trying to fix it and now it looks like he just enjoyed a good hurl.
