AvePicante Posted Monday at 04:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:23 PM Well, with the Call to Arms 2025 event over and done with I'm left looking at my pile of shame. I have only been in this hobby a couple of years, but between some surprise promotions giving me too much spending money, a supportive and awesome spouse, a subscription to that combat patrol magazine, and some various gifts from friends and family, I am left with a surprising backlog of minis. Far too many. So, like many others, I will be keeping track of my various works-in-progress here. Current WIP: Tempestus Aquilons Future WIP (No particular order): Chaplain on Bike, Brutalis Dreadnaught, Ministorum Priest, Aeldari Wraithlord, Aeldari Guardians (x10) with Support Platform, IK Moirax (x2), IK Helverin/Warglaive (x6), Aeldari Windriders (x6), Buri Aegnirssen, Arkanyst Evaluator, Cthonian Earthshakers (x6), Ironkin Steeljacks (x6) Dr_Ruminahui, Firedrake Cordova, Rusted Boltgun and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386792-avepicantes-neverending-list-of-shame/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted Tuesday at 01:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:43 PM That's a striking colour scheme - I like it AvePicante 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386792-avepicantes-neverending-list-of-shame/#findComment-6134344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvePicante Posted Tuesday at 02:55 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 02:55 PM Last night I completed the orange trim across all models and some of the red highlights on the eyes. Also, for the first time in my life, I have a camera worth anything and a photobox so I'm playing around with some of the options. Frankly, I think it looks pretty nice. I have a 2-year-old son and a full-time job, so painting is slow. Every little bit of progress counts! I'm trying to think of a name for these guys. I inadvertently used both Vulkan Green and Fire Dragon Orange, not realizing that will just make them look like Salamanders, I want a name that will pay homage to that. Maybe the Ash Wasps? Fire Wasps? Ember Wasps? I like Wasps since these are jump pack guys, I enjoy the idea of them flying around the battlefield stinging the enemy with their hot-shot lasguns.

sitnam Posted Tuesday at 03:15 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:15 PM Nothing wrong with sharing a paint scheme with another faction. My SoB having purple doesn't make them Slaaneah or GSC AvePicante 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386792-avepicantes-neverending-list-of-shame/#findComment-6134356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely one of the more fun color schemes I've done so far, I love the fire dragon orange but have only used it for small highlights in the past.

My SoB having purple doesn't make them Slaaneah or GSC Oh I 100% agree with that, and I love the colors and won't change it for anything. It was just a kind of facepalm moment to have the first model finished, thinking it was a cool and unique color scheme, and then realizing it matched one of the more popular Space Marine colors sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386792-avepicantes-neverending-list-of-shame/#findComment-6134360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
