Isiah Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Awesome sauce. Teh metal libby is a marvelous relic from a bygone age and you've done him great justice. Chapter master looks regal and the push-fit DA look surprisingly menacing in their ready for anything poses. Congrats on the vow completion.

mdaro Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Great job! I've started my own DA army this week and I'm pushing to get mine done. I love that old metal termie. I have some old terminators myself. I wasn't going to paint them but after seeing yours I'm gonna paint one up and sneak it into a game and see if anyone notices! http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/michaeldaro/OldSchool.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaM_TW Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Looks good! Just a question; is the libby on bike a conversion or are these available in a box? I havent been paying attention to the 'current' 40K line for a while. Besides, termies like your libby (last year) also make me realize I have some old (not THAT old, though) termies that need a lick of paint, too. Maybe I should vow them too, depending on time. Nice old attackbike, too. I mean, I dont see a rail for the gun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenshi Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's a conversion using de DV box libby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Right, it's a really easy conversion to make out of the Dark Vengeance box. You could also have the hand using his power and have the other arm driving. Old models are some of the best, plus the ETL gives me reason to finally paint some up.

JeffJedi Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Ok, it looks like a few weeks of the boards got lost so here is my Vow Completion post again: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow%202/ETL2013vc_zpsad91bb0e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 And here is my 2nd Vow for this year. A Tactical Squad with Plasmagun, Lascannon and Vet. Sgt. with Power Axe costing 200pts. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow%202/ETL2013v2_zps46483649.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm going to put my completions in here and then turn this thread into a painting blog while until the next ETL. :D As you can see from the pic above this squad was mostly old models that I stripped and redid. They include 3 Lead miniatures and one white metal. Only the Sgt was newly built for the squad, I gave him a power axe because it is so rare in my army, Two models are actually Space Wolves, it was so hard to get heavy weapons back then and I wanted a Lascannon. There is also a Mk3 and Mk4 that I felt deserved a good paint job after 20 years. Most recently these models were black with gold bolters and called the Revengers. They were my squad to train my brothers and cousin how to play 40k. Now they take their rightful place in my army as Dark Angels. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow%202/ETLTAC1_zpsf3330e95.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow%202/ETLTAC2_zpsf580a93b.jpg The next squad is the famous RTB01 Marines from Rogue Trader, the 1st edition of Warhammer 40k. When I started collecting it was shortly before 2nd edition and these figures were already out of print. I've always seen these and always wanted them but never had any until my birthday 8 days ago. My brother got them for me along with another figure I will show off later and I couldn't be happier. These were still on sprue from circa 1991, I also have the other half of the squad but will build them at a later date. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow%202/ETLRTB01-2_zpsc4538bfe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 If you look at my vow from last year you will see a Master, Librarian, Devastator Squad and Tactical Squad. If you look at this years vow you will see a Master, Librarian, Devastator Squad and one and a half Tactical Squads along with some bikes. Why? It just so happens that I have a lot of Space Marines. In fact it wouldn't be far off to say I have nearly half a Chapter of Dark Angels now. Most have paint but most are not at the level I want them to be and very few are at the level I've managed for the ETL, So I owe thanks to Captain Semper and the rest of this forum helping me raise the bar for my miniatures. I have an undisclosed number of Space Marine Captains, Company Masters as we know them. When I saw the newest Masters of the Chapter I didn't care for most of them but one made me zoom in and take a closer look. Mark 5 armor is hard to resist. A new head and added weapon made him cool. And what's the easiest way to add robes to a Space Marine? A Watcher in the Dark! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow%202/ETLMaster2_zpsa4070755.jpg I tried to do justice to the ETL and its members with this one. Why haven't I been doing cool powerswords lately? I'd switched basic metal some time back. But the standard of the ETL inspired me to give it a try again, to make the plasma core look right and to try a lens effect. Fun fact, this is the only model I have that is made up of Resin, Plastic and Metal all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Here's one of my new projects I'll be working on: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/DeathwingCyclone_zpsfe279b40.jpg I plan to have a 10 man squad with 2 cyclones.

SRSFACE Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Looking good, man! I have about that many guys to work on, wish I had the willpower to just get it done. I end up working on friend's models more often though because 1) I am a damn good friend, and 2) supplemental income is awesome. I like the master of the relics conversion a lot. I've thought about picking up the assault captain one of the new models because if I had the skill to greenstuff some robes on it, I think he'd make a pretty sweet Dark Angel but alas, my backlog groweth.

JeffJedi Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 I thought I would throw together all my models for the ETL3 in this thread. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Deathwing_zps42969071.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Librarian_zps779d5302.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Chaplains_zps6a18d3ad.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Group_zps5020cdde.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETLtacchap_zpsf699d8db.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Librarian2_zpsc7db64d7.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETLmasters_zps38e8fe15.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETLknights_zpsa8c3812e.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Devs2a_zpsb7ed4537.jpg You can NEVER have enough characters! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Final_zpseea9cfc4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJD Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Even the back drop is old school. Hero quest if I'm am not mistaken. Loving the space crusade guys too. Where are the old school terminator from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 They are from Space Hulk 1st edition, but my were from Tyranid Attack. My first boxed game shortly before 2nd edition came out* *I recasted them to learn resin casting. Turns out it is far easier to do a days work and buy the real figures than to cast on your day off.
