Cactus Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 @crimsondave they look great to me, especially that freaky red flesh. After plugging away at my 3 guys from Blackstone Fortress I have a lot of respect for anyone who can produce entire units of Black Legion. crimsondave, Firedrake Cordova and gaurdian31 1 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-5980924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Nothing to show on my end this week - after what was a pretty intensive (for me) period painting last weekend, my hobby time this week was instead spent building things. @sitnam & @legoman I'm glad you like my weekly recaps - I'm happy that I can help keep others motivated! And @gaurdian31 & @legoman thanks for the compliments! @crimsondave - Your black legion look great, and I don't think you should have any complaints about how they turned out. Sure, highlights are great if you are taking extreme close ups, but from any reasonable distance they don't really add anything, and with the number of models you've signed yourself up for really aren't feasible. The puke on your red headed fellow seems like a fortunate accident, as it adds a bit of contrast (as well as a bit of humour) to the model. I really like how your trim came out - what did you paint over the retributor to get that colour? @Cpt.Danjou - They are looking good - did your tape come in? If it didn't, you could try painter's tape, which you can get at pretty much any hardware or home improvement type store (its what I use when trying to make straight lines). @Kythnos - Hope you can get your home renos done in time to toss your hat into the ring. @Tallarn Commander - Glad to hear you have one last vow in you - I look forward to seeing your progress. @gaurdian31 - How are your legionaires coming along? You thought you might have them done this week. @Boc - Love your Stalker - bet he looks great next to his big brother. And thanks for the tutorial on your red goop. @Brother Captain Arkley - Great to see your miniature giant space tanks! Eager to see what faction you do them as. @spiros14 - Your walls look very nice - as I've mentioned elsewhere, you've done a good job with picking out the details without it taking forever to do it (which is my problem when I try painting GW terrain ). @Cactus - Good work on your hammer lord - looking forward to seeing how you finish him off. The multicoloured cable tubing is a really interesting effect that I haven't seen done before - looks good. From my math, we are now half way through, so keep at it everyone! We didn't hear from a whole bunch of people this week as to their progress - I hope they are keeping plugging along. @Brother Argent, @legoman, @sitnam, @renegadeguard, @Valkia the Bloody, @Metzombie, @Celtic_cauldron, @Muskie, @Trixie, and @Teetengee come let us know how you are doing!

crimsondave Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 @Dr_Ruminahui Just Agrax Earthshade. I wanted to darken but not as dark as Balthasar. I went for years painting nothing but guard.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thanks. Yeah, my second army was guard, of which I have almost 300 infantry models. Still didn't learn my lesson, though, as I painted every detail I could, as otherwise I just didn't find it enjoyable. gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-5981008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Well to show some sort of progress here is a before shot Only been a year since I got these guys from Eldritch Omens. Been struggling with everything I have on the go so not sure if there will be much progress but hope to get them sorted some point soonish... gaurdian31, Cpt.Danjou, Tallarn Commander and 3 others 4 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-5981015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiros14 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thank's Dr Ruminahui, these updates have been really helping motivate me into writing more on my progress. Typically I end up taking the longest time between updates just to do bare plastic and then finished work! I just finished the last of my promised legionnaire's last night, and I'm ready to move onto the Havocs!

Great to hear! The blank recent activity is a bug, since last Sunday, I think. Not sure about the notifications - do you mean to your email, or internal to B&C? I know for when I put @Username for someone, they only get an internal notification for that if they have selected for such notification in their preferences - and at least when I did that for myself, it was not the default, weirdly. gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-5981432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
