=] Call to Arms: Chaos Stronghold [=


Recommended Posts

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 :sweat:).

 

@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!

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...

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!

@Dr_Ruminahui They are all done, picture in the spoiler. Going to get the Dark Apostle and his Disciples done this week hopefully and then will see what I can get built to vow.

Great work everyone! Glory to Chaos!

 

Well, it's time for my 3rd and final pledge....

 

 

I, Tallarn Commander, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 10 Legionaries, 1 Eightbound, and 4 Traitor Guard/Chaos Renegades & Heretics Militia (15 models total) for 15b pts for the Glory of the Chaos Daemons and Chaos Stronghold on or before September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."

My FLGS is clearly is not interested in selling me tape, so it came down to freehand, almost done. Some basing and cleaning up.

Honestly, unless I'm doing vehicles, I find free hand easier than tape anyway.  They look great.  Iron Within.

Mutantchans are getting there ahead of schedule :)

 

But I seem to not be getting any notifications from the forum and my recent activity is blank, is this a bug?

 

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.

I'm still chugging along, real life has been hindering my progress. Still hoping to complete the entire pledge before end of the month to give me a bit more time for pledge 3

Both internal and email, but you're right, I checked my settings and the default was no notifications, which I've now changed. Thanks for pointing that out :)

From iron cometh strength, from strength cometh will, from will cometh faith, from faith cometh honor, from honor cometh iron.  And I about ran out getting these Black Legion done.

Gotten all of my pledged walls done last night - I need to get the rest of my stuff done so I can pledge some more!

 

large.LastB3Wall.jpg.5cebea4688e5cfce21a8eca1bbe451f6.jpg

Has anyone considered running Necromunda with boarding action tiles?

 

I'm pleased to have gotten these out of the way, as they're the last of the twelve short-wall-with-hatchway B3's in the box, and I'm ready to do some of the longer walls.

That Murphy fellow is a positive fellow. Of course the second after I had varnished and put the terminators away I get a message from my FLGS. Guess what? The tape has arrived.  :(

That's the way isn't it? Still, those terminators and MoE came out great!

If it's any consolation, the hazard stripes look absolutely fine to me on my monitor (which is probably showing them larger than what they are in real life, and thus imperfections would be more obvious).

Another 6 pts in the Chaos bag from me... Taking my total to 16pts...

 

Its a weird thing that most of mine has been Chaos.

I'm not super happy on the skin for the Tzaangor headed ones, but otherwise I like how they came out
