Has it been 2 months since my last post? Wow! 

 

With the release of 3rd and all it brought, I lost my hobby mojo. 

 

I recently managed to get my mojo back, and coupled with us having just under 3 weeks until the competition is over, I thought I best get moving with my vow and get it completed!

 

Heres some progress pics. My biggest issue currently is figuring out what to put over the colourshift to darken the green without obscuring it completely. I tried burnt umber and rubbed it off, but I maybe rubbed too much off. TTCs washes were ineffective, and shyish purple was too strong/dark and matte.

 

I'll come back to the iron 10th, and make progress on all the others I have a paint scheme for already

Heres a rough guide of finished vs unfinished

I think I need to up my game. Doesn't even show the fists vehicles or IW dreads. Or the 40plus iron hands that are all in various states. Or the 2 terrain pieces

 

The final hour approaches, where's Guilliman when I need him to give me a hand!

You are prety fast.

Thanks, the airbrush does most of the heavy lifting! 

 

Part of the reason I made such a massive vow was to get some sense of urgency so that I'd paint over the 3 months. All thats happened is its given me focus over the past 2 weeks.

 

Im 50/50 on whether I can get everything finished. My 2 main issues are that I'm not happy/settled on how im doing my iron hands, and thats set me back. The other potential issue is if the wife will let me ignore everything else at the weekend and just paint!

 

Wish me luck!

 

 

The pace that you are keeping is impressive! I only used my airbrush for priming but think I need to reconsider that after seeing your progress and quality the past 3 weeks.

Thank you! 

 

Honestly it makes painting so quick! Ive always struggled painting tanks too, with the large flat panels, so it really gets you a smooth finish

 

Also, little tip i found online, to give a bit of depth after youve sprayed a tank your chosen colour, use agrax earthshade straight from the pot through the airbrush into the corners, around edge plates etc. You can see it best on the fists rhinos

Hmm…that would be faster than pin washing. Do you find that you need to do any clean up after the agrax to fix the main color?

No, it doesn't go on heavy unless you do multiple passes, and im not too fussed if I make a mistake

Heres the next lot. 

Still have 60 marines, 10 drop pods, 3 rhinos, 2 sicarans, 2 dreads, 1 landraider, 1 spartan and a partridge in a pear tree to go!

Heres the 20 tacticals and other 20 immortals I've not posted yet.

 

I very much doubt I'll complete my vow, but no harm in trying eh
