Kind of lost track in your massive vow how much you have after that, but you should be close to done - so keep at it and put it across the finish line

They were the last unit to actually paint, and over this weekend I got the initial astrogranite layers and black rims done, so the last step is just getting the snow glued in...once I actually buy more basing glue because I forgot I ran out during the last Vow, and I didn't get a chance to hit up my FLGS this weekend because of work. I almost didn't have enough abaddon black to finish base rims either!

 

A little tease towards the final completion...20240909_135056.thumb.jpg.def94bc5e17dee731b88ae9b56f07c43.jpg

Hi everyone!

First of all, thanks for the advices and comments, and sorry for not being as supportive in return as I would like to.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my progress this far.

I still have a bit of work here and there, mainly details, rust, more pustles, very few highlights where needed, and of course, basing. I wanted to try and play with some UV resin I bought a while ago, but I found out it had cured in the bottle... I'll need another plan, I won't have the time to get some more. Maybe I'll just add some mud and come back to them later with resin.

And finally, if I have time left, I'll mess them up with some effects like blood and pus, trying not to overcharge them.

 

Good luck to you all for the final sprint!

Big one incoming! Figured I might as well do it now before I lose a week traveling for a family reunion. Who knows, might be able to paint some of the basic bolter guys on the road.

 

I, Cryptix, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 40 bolter legionnaires, 10 special weapon legionnaires, 20 havocs, 10 chosen, 40 cultists, a chaos lord, 2 masters of execution, a sorcerer, and a helbrute for 143 points for the Glory of the Heretic Astartes forum and the Chaos Stronghold on or before 17th September 2024, or bear the badge of failure until years end.

And the jobs a big un vow

I, Cryptix, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint a greater brass scorpion of khorne for 10 points for the Glory of the Heretic Astartes forum and the Chaos Stronghold on or before 17th September 2024, or bear the badge of failure until years end.

If you couldn't tell, not everything's assembled so I can alternate between building and painting for my sanity :blush:.

FINAL VOW COMPLETED!

And holy cow is it a lot. I don't think I've ever completed so many models in a three months span even back with my first army of Tyranids in 5th/6th - and that consisted of two paints, black and purple :blush:. I'm only slightly disappointed i couldnt make Grand Master, some folks in the heresy subforum beat me clean, but eh you can't win them all. Best of luck to all with the rest of their vows!

 

And... my vow is complete!

 

The final two units are displayed below, including the Sicaran and Chosen from the VIIIth Legion.

 

Ave Dominus Nox!

Wrong pictures...

Due to some family issues I have had some problems having time to sit down an paint for longer periods, so I hope I will be able to finish. Only sme touch ups, and some base painting.

Despite some serious RL attempts to the contrary, I’m still in the game.

There is still a lot of detail work and some assembly to do … as well as a base.

BTW if any of you have suggestion on colours for basing this beast, I’d appreciate the help!

I’m a fan of contrasting colours so a magenta would be ace!

I am sad that I couldn't contribute anymore, but due to that my daughter has been in and out of hospital having chemotherapy my time has been limited, but now I consider my vow done.

Got it done just under the wire, but NEVER IN DOUBT. Good luck and happy painting to those who are also in the home stretch!

In the way that pleases the Dark Gods, I dropped some parts during what I thought would be final assembly …. Breaking the GS insignia thingy I made over the weekend… and the armor mask apparently found a rift to the. Warp beneath the table…:wallbash:

 

I think I have a workaround but it’s going to be some thrilling 24 hours…:facepalm:

 

Nevertheless, thanks @Kharn13 - I think using  magenta on the base is going to work great :thumbsup:

That super sucks - hope you can work things out in the limited time you have.

 

That said, I don't think you need a work around for the mask - the maskless head also looks great.

Just to clarify, my daughter is feeling much better now, luckily the doctors found out the cancer in time, but the summer has not been a good one for her. So thank you for the thoughts and sympathy for her.
