vonny Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have pledged to paint a full squad of lamenters and a thousand sons sorceror and Ahriman for my LPC. sol, first off, I guess I should post a starting point: This is where the lamenters were. And have been for a while, now, actually. Haven't worked on them in a long time. Isn't he cute? Ahriman still has a letter code instead of a price tag on his blister, because I've had him for soooooo long. So. That's what I'll be working on. To what standard they will be made can be seen in my wip logs on both army, as seen in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The lamenters look good. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Those obliterator counts as you made are very nice looking and the GS work is good. Are you going to modify Ahriman at all casting a spell or anything? I think that would look really nice and unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 thank you both for your compliments. Tanith ghost - I actually hadn't thoughtof it yet, as I quite like Ahriman as he is. Not sure where the spellcasting would have to happen either, but I'll think on it a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yale Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Good luck with the painting challenge Vonny. You do beautiful work, but I know how long it takes for you painting. ;) I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the challenge. Tactical squad 3 are nicely posed already. I'm particularly fond of the flamer marine. I know it is a simple conversion but it is quite effective (and harks back to the old metal 2nd ed flamer marine).

vonny Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 so, here it is, februari already, and not that much progress. I've managed to put enough layers of Iyanden darksun on the marines to have their base coat colors ready to be highlighted, and I've assembled Ahriman. However, due to the temperatures outside being well below sub-zero for a while now, I've been unable to spray undercoat on them there, and I'm not very fond of the idea ofcreating a well-ventilated area inside right now... brr! So, the progress on my thousand sons is halted, and my motivation for the boys in yellow is wavering, and my borthday presents threaten to take my attention instead... it feels like a bad movie trailer.

vonny Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 well, finally the weather let up, and I got the two thousand sons nearly done as a result. They just need a bit of green, pink, and some snow on their bases, and they'd be ready! You can see that here: The lamenters are still going slow, but a bit more steady now. I'm almost done with the yellow, as can be seen in the next picture (though one snuck off and refused to have his photo taken - I later found out he had been hiding behind my coffee mug). Still lots to go on them. I'd make an image with all the colors to still be added here too, but you wouldn't see any figures anymore. browns, whites, greys, metals, red, more brown, more yellow, more black...

Kierdale Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Very nice work so far! The Lamenters are looking good. A very nice colour you've got on them. And, as a huge fan of the sons of the Crimson King, I love your Ahriman and sorceror. Looking forward to seeing them completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 The two thousand sons are finished: The Lamenters are coming along nicely. I love it when they start to get some color and go out of the monochromatic range. Still unsure if I can finish them, though I've made good progress the past few days.

vonny Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 And the 2nd part is done as well! sorry for the crappy photo, it's late and I don't have proper lighting. I'll make a better one soon and post it in my lamenters topic. And on that one you can actually see that I've painted the eyes red and all that jazz. However, with 10 finished lamenters on here, and the two finished thousand sons in an earlier picture (see my previous post), it means... I FINISHED MY PAINTING CHALLENGE! yay!

Montuhotep Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I FINISHED MY PAINTING CHALLENGE! Well done! Especially since they look uniformly excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Congratulations Vonny! The Lamenters -a chapter I very rarely see done, added kudos there - look excellent and the two 1kSons are really impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akylas Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Congratulations! The Thousand Sons look amazing but I have to admit being even more impressed with the Lamenters. Yellow scares me but they turned out great. Is that orange I see in some of the recesses on the backpacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yellow scares me as well, Akylas :) It's not orange you see in the recesses, but snakebite leather, so brown, mostly. For all who were interested, I posted a better picture in my lamenters thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
