Here's where I'm at with my Hierotek Circle: metallics are done (apart from a light drybrush on the gold to give a bit of highlighting to those parts), next it's the glowy bits :biggrin:

Love the purples on both teams @drakheart & @firestorm40k. Also lovely to see both Sisters of Silence and Necrons!

 

My own team is done, the 55th Dal'lyth Rifles Cadre, 1st Assault Team.

I also put some lore and extra pics  in my HoH thread.

I will be soon finished with the March 2025 Challenge and found this one by chance today. So lets do it:

 

 I, Deus Ex Machina, vow to complete one Kill-Team of the Iron Hands (from the Kill-Team Starter set), to be fully painted and based by the 31st May 2025, and to provide at least minimal fluff/background for them. May Ferrus Manus, he is alive and well despite heretical propaganda claiming the opposite, curse me to darkness and ruination should I fail!

Well - didn't get as far as hoped on Scorps in last couple of weeks, but should have the first 5 done this week.

 

Thought I'd take a moment to demonstrate my approach to effectively underpainted black... which is Grey Seer > Incubi Darkness > Vallejo Azul Intenso > game colour verdigris:

Followed by Basilicanum Grey contrast:

From here I just start adding Grey Seer to define whatever is going to become yellow, and re-establish the gems.

 

Pretty confident I''ll make the deadline still, though hobby has slowed down a little due to nagging tendonitis and just overall this being my busiest time of year professionally.

 

Anyway - first 5 of the Shrine of Poison Tears on the way!

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor.

I have not forgotten my vow to paint up a team of Krieg vets, but I am completely and utterly stumped on a colour scheme for the squad. I've got some yellows and browns picked out that might look alright, or I might go with a more box-art inspired blue or grey. The good news is that procrastinating on this has helped me be very productive with other painting projects, but I have to figure out some colours that I'm excited about soon. I wrote the fluff ages ago lmao.

Gone, she wept, forgetting still

The scorpion who slept until

The tears of Eldanesh did come

Then suppered from forbidden well

 

Fair travelers on dimlight paths

Fair warning as you here may pass

Be not afraid of she who sleeps

Yet dreaming as her tears amass

 

Now flow out 'cross the cheeks of terror

Spit venom in the eye of fate

Strike hard the hand of he who whispers

And tear the hinges from the gate

 

Do not forget the world's last ending

Do not regret your doom indeed

We shall be wrested from this coil 

Yet not before this poison feed

Last minute choice to make the gems green. Took a minute, but overall happy with where these are landing.

 

Back to Van D's Devils tho this week.

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor.

Test model complete. Blue or Grey? Blue-grey Space Wolves colours!

Love the scorpions, @Dr. Clock.  And that blue-grey looks great on the kriegsman, @Norman Paperman - definitely channeling WWI French.

 

I'm now halfway done my goats, having completed 6 out of the 12 - provided I can do a goat a week, I should manage to finish in time.

 

Anyway, here are the first 3 pairs.

Really nice goats @Dr_Ruminahui, I really struggled with mine (they still aren't finished) and I might have even misplaced an important head! I especially like the green tinged blades of the three-armed goat.

And a very smart Kriegsman @Norman Paperman, my first KT models and I got scared at how small and detailed they were so back in the box they went!

Very striking Scorpions @Dr. Clock, the yellow helmets are very clean and the gems pop out nicely from the armour.

Finally managed to get around to painting up a few bits for my pledge. The Kaa'Daa Seekers are nearing completion. One more to build and paint! The full story will be added to my thread, along with any additional work for them over the next couple of weeks
