Well I haven't participated since novembre 2023, and haven't painted anything either since then, but playing Space Marine 2 rekindled the flame and I bust out the brushes once more !

 

I, Heraclite, embark (somewhat lately) on the 12 monts of hobby challenge for the glory of the adeptus astartes and for the month of october vow to paint :

 

3 blade guard veterans

1 bladeguard lieutenant

1 bladeguard captain

I just set the decals on my first model from my october list. This chap has been very easy to paint fast. Red Saim-hann scheme helps a lot indeed.

The only non genuine part is the ML: this model was coming with a multilaser, the one that looks like a bunch of branches. Too ugly for my taste. And as I had this metal ML available... It is a little bit oversized wich unbalance the model a bit IMHO. But, frankly, not much more unbalanced that with the genuine part...

 

Now, let's work on the next ones...

Repainted/restoration job of my first ever bought SW vehicle. It is also the ultimate SW miniature of my collection that remained to be painted. If I skip the 6 wolves that I scavenged from my WFB gobs chariots...

31 years collecting SW summarized in one model.

And this Platform with its crew completes the last entry listed into my October's pledge:

I have now to place some orders for paints in order to replete my stock as I do not have enough left for keeping on going with the rest of stuff in my Pile of Shame.

Vow kind of complete.

 

I finished the bladeguard vets and the lieutenant, but kept the captain for later, maybe I'll finish him this month, maybe he'll be my vow for november.

Continuing on the LI Train, a Contemptor,

These new epic models are so detailed I have to do a double-take sometimes to make sure they aren’t the full-size versions. Very nice.

GW really are showing us their A-game with these small models

2nd Vow essentially done, just some clean up of bits and pieces and basing. I want to do the basing all in one go, so starting 3rd vow of. 5 Tactical Marines (i.e. the rest of the squad)

Wrapping up the Prism. I changed a few things in my process so I'm happy how this turned out.

Previously I was doing crystals and whatnot as Volupus Pink over silver, but the results were inconsistent, so I switched to Turbodorks Hotline over a pink base. I think it looks much smoother than the Volupus, so far.

I might touch up a few details sometime this week, but I'm calling these done for now.

 

3 Lunar Class Cruisers

2 Dictator Class Cruisers

I'm just about catching up with myself after coming back from holiday, so I'm going to try and quickly turn around a LI Thunderbolt to get something done this month beyond the LoTR terrain I'm trundling on with.

Another YouTube inspired project. 

 

The basic premise is: What If,( ala the companions, returned/forgiven DA) the Lion opened up some of the DAoT weapons the DA used during the Heresy to returned Legionaries? The ones who know how to operate them first hand?

 

So, the order of the day, Eradicators.  Here's where I'm at,

As you can see, I need a third weapon. The middle weapon will be painted as a purple energy-type weapon. The RHS, green irradiated bolt rounds. The the LHS with the wrist Auspex, I'm coming up short. 

 

Any ideas for a weapon type or design type?
