MAY Open for Vows

[gaurdian31]

April Vow complete:

 

Spoiler

 

[Brother Christopher]

I think I won't manage to get my vow done this month. A shame, really, but life has gotten in the way of things AND painting my Assault Marines turned out to be a bit more time-consuming than anticipated.

 

As always, it's a pleasure following others' progress. Special shout ot to @Lord_Ikka for the diorama, @Brother Argent, @Heraclite, @Dwango, @W.A.Rorie for the Standard Bearer, @Tallarn Commander for the dope banner and @gaurdian31 for the wicked kitbashed Marine.

[Tallarn Commander]

Brother Christopher, sorry to hear your won't finish your vow. Life happens, as we all know.

 

Guardian 31, I love your marine's dramatic pointing pose. That was a wonderful powerfist bit back in the day.

 

 

April vow completed

Scrapcode, Warpborn Chaos Legionary and banner/icon bearer

 

 

Scrapcode's banner, Scrapcode is banner bearer for the Warpborn's "Unchained" squad of Legionaries

 

 

Scrapcde, seen from the rear

 

 

Scrap Code is the Warpborn's best "decker." Her mechatendril left arm allows her to jack into any cogitator to access enemy networks. She acquired this device from a Dark Mechanicum laboratory during the slave uprising on Kai.
     She taught herself how to merge with the device. Now during Warpborn raids Scrapcode can use this mechatendril enter enemy cogitator systems to open random airlocks, activate or deactivate perimeter defense weaponry, and  view and control surveillance systems. She is an invaluable resource because she turns the enemies' systems against their owners.
      Scrapcode has a dream. She someday wants to cast off her body and upload herself into the cogitators aboard the Warpborn's ship, Forward Unto Dawn. She believes this is a holy mission that would allow her to transcend space and time. It would also symbolically be a way to spite the Dark Mechanicum. A lowly slave rising up to become a tech spirit.
     The Warpborn's leaders, including warlord Talis Slaughtercall, support her in this project. Lately they have been targeting Xenos, Admech, and Dark Mechanicum facilities to gather enough resources and expertise to allow Scrapcode to "cross over" and become a ghost in the machine.

 

 

Child Skinner, Warpborn Cultist/Traitor Guard (and Simon)

Since Scrapcode is not a member of the Warpborn, he wears flesh as a back banner instead of the Warpborn's livery

 

 

Child Skinner with House Nightfall livery

 

 

 

Child Skinner is not a member of the Warpborn warband. He is a Night Lord Serf Surgeon Acolyte attached to the mercenary House Nightfall. A House of Nostroman descendants, which is why he wears Night Lords livery upon his right shoulder. He is on temporary duty seconded to the Warpborn for the purposes of monitoring the efficacy of various biological upgrades developed by Talos Slaughtercall, the Warpborn's warlord and apothecary. If Child Skinner deems Talos' enhancements to be effective, then House  Nightfall will hire itself out to the Warpborn in exchange for said enhancements (as well as a small quantity of geneseed).
     Unbeknownst to Child Skinner, he will soon be involved in a Warp transition gone awry. While transitioning through the Warp aboard the Warpborn's vessel, Forward Unto Dawn, he and all seven other technicians working in the medlab will be sucked through space and time into the past.
     For his part, Child Skinner will be transported to one of the Spyder's labs. Through a series of trials and adventures, Child Skinner will eventually earn Fabius Bile's trust and become a full-fledged Chaos Apothecary and member of Bile's Consortium. Then via complex dark rituals Child Skinner will eventually bid farewell to the Spyder and return to his own timeline. There he will rejoin House Nightfall as Hazzar Child Skinner, a House Nightfall Apothecary. What's more, he will be an Apothecary in good standing with Fabius Bile. Thus allowing House Nightfall to purchase geneseed from the Spyder, for a price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep the good  work coming everyone!

April was a fools month for me. It is easy to put the hobby on hold, when things start to pile up and then it is very hard to get back to it. I hope I will manage to have some game in May, it always boosts my painting motivation. Anyway - 10 boys are done, other 10 boys, Snikrot and Painboy will be done some other time (maybe in May, maybe in June).

 

[Brother Argent]

Looking good guys/girls.

 

Managed to complete my Vonn Ryans Leapers.  Again not hugely happy but the rate picked up on these so hopefully getting somewhere.

 

[Boc]

I, Boc, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of April pledge to complete a Karacnos (stubborn), Krios (stubborn), Commander Farsight, Impulsor, Ballistus Dreadnought, Brutalis Dreadnought, and Repulsor Executioner by month's end.

 

I totally didn't just completely forget to post this earlier in the month. Definitely not.

 

None of these will be eligible for speed daemon despite the fact that I'll be posting finished pics later today lol

[Boc]

Oh hey look they're done, it's a speedy miracle

 

 

The Rep Ex i MAY be able to finish in OT, we'll see

[Heraclite]

You should get a custom Speed GREATER Demon badge for this incredible feat !

[Madao]

I have a suspicion, that Boc is not a single human, but the whole painting studio of talented people. How are you doing that? What is your secret?

[Heraclite]

The guardians are done. They were started by my youngest daughter who picked the colours and applied the base coats and a dry brush on the pink for highlights. I just did the finishing touches

[Cleon]

April completions, the Blood Angels HH tacticals, the LI terrain and the core of the Leman Russ.

 

I'll see when Grot calls April closed to see if I can get the crewman, dozer and last little add-ons done for the tank. Alas I messed up with the Sanctifiers and got my batch sizes wrong, so their progress stalled, I might be able to get a re-focussed small batch done over the long weekend, or I'll post them in May.

 

[Heraclite]

The last mini of my vow is done, even if a little bit over the limit.

 

But I took the opportunity of finishing my april vow to start work on my may vow.

[Grotsmasha]

Here's my April Completion, another Death Guard, this time a Plague Champion,

 

 

[Blissful Brushes]

I finished the model itself mid April but the baby popped out sooner than expected and needless to say I hadn’t been near my hobby room since then. He looks cute but I think Khârn may actually be the father, not me.
