stuka06 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So I wanted to get all my Ravenwing Bikes and Attack Bikes done. What better way to motivate myself than setting a deadline. I had all the Bikes already assembled and primed. Except for one Attack Bike. Which I finished a couple months back... yeah... Even put it in my regular WIP topic Oh well. Getting the squad ready will take more time than usual since I want to start magnetizing. 2 of the regular Bikers will be able to carry special weapons like Meltas or Flamers The Seargent will either be with is regular equipment, a power weapon, or a power fist. And the Attack Bikes will be able to choose between Heavy Bolters and Multimeltas I started painting at a friends house. She wanted to try painting too so I took some stuff for myself to paint. Without further ado, my bikes: http://i.imgur.com/Fd1sB.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Good start, brother. Best of luck with the vow. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuka06 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Finished the 3 Bikes I started http://i.imgur.com/GBdEo.jpg I tried 2 different ways to paint the screens. One where I paint the whole screen green and highlight the edges and finish by washing with Green Ink. With two of the other bikes I used the gradient one often uses with gems and washed it with green ink. Which one do you guys like better so I know which one I should refine. http://i.imgur.com/wlxCV.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Cool looking force, and a noble undertaking, wish you all the best! As for the screens, quite fond of the one on the far right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuka06 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Has been a week since my last update and in the meantime I got a lot of stuff done. Namely, a package with magnet arrived. So yesterday I spent a good part of my day preparing to finish my vow. First of, the stuff I already have painted. I finished all bikes. All that is missing are the Marines. http://i.imgur.com/iBkGq.jpg I also finished my Attack Bike, which was basicly done, but I wanted to have the weapon choices. http://i.imgur.com/LiJ8r.jpg Next up, all Marines. As you can see, there are a total of 3 with magnets + 1 who is already in his Bike. http://i.imgur.com/rvyJB.jpg Here is a close up of the weapon options for the seargents and one of the guys wielding special weapons. http://i.imgur.com/cFaex.jpg Another thing I built were the first Typhoon launchers for the Land Speeders I have (my now 4 in total, none of them finished) http://i.imgur.com/PYPLd.jpg I also removed the compartment doors from one of the speeders. On the inside I glued magnets and then glued them back on. http://i.imgur.com/ELm5W.jpg So now, I can run them as regular Landspeeders or attach the launchers. http://i.imgur.com/kGs3N.jpg Right now, everything for my vow is downstairs, drying from priming. Now I have to clean up my table, because there is hardly any room left on there. I expect further updates next weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Looking good :) Can't wait to see more paint on these chaps! Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuka06 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looking good B) Can't wait to see more paint on these chaps! Ludovic You ask and I shall deliver. As of now, I have completed my vow. I finished all 8 Bikes and 2 Attackbikes. 3 Bikes and the Seargent as well as the Attackbikes are magnetized. But what are these voices of doubt I am hearing? You want proof? Alas, then proof is what you shall receive! http://i.imgur.com/vvEdg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dmhi3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TwxN4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/78Zsy.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LlnqX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mR092.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JKbRD.jpg This was fun. I want to get some stuff done, because I have way too much unpainted stuff to think about getting new models. So having to work towards finishing these bikes, has been a huge step. This LPC was fun and i think I will participate next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mealstorm Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Great job! I love the cleanness of your painting style. It just looks natural, like that's armor a Space Marine would wear every day and take care of with great devotion. I'm in the same boat on the unpainted models...keep crackin'!
