elmo Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 After a long week of painting here is the progress so far.... http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2501.jpg Here are the various options for the LRC including the different capola choices - the HK missile is not painted yet. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2497.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2491.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2492.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2493.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2494.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2495.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2496.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2497.jpg http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/jonbrooks_photo/B%20and%20S%20WIP/DA%20painting%20challenge/CIMG2499.jpg The front doors popped open during the photo shoot so it looks like there is a big gap ;) Bryan: I am considering what you wrote about mud on the Angels - I will try it out first without mud as it will be easier to add mud than to go for it then having to paint them again. If anyone wants a different angle/closeup let me know this weekend before I take it away from my photo booth.... The plan for next week is to do the weathering and some more of the tactical squad - may be adding to my vow soon :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm getting dizzy here... all those options... and the creamy white... It's just crazy.... Well dome Elmo :) this is top notch stuff! It also seems complete to me. If so declare the completion in the ETL thread, we need to get some points under our belt fast! ;) Also, I'm assuming you're entering this as a Crusader since Redemeers are not in our list.

elmo Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 That a really nice DW transporter!...just ordered magnets, got some dreads/vehicles to do!! Thanks BCN - you know you don't need magnets for the dreads don't you ;) Just use the pins provided. If you have the AoBR dreads you need to increase the diameter of the pins using a suitable sized paintbrush tip protector or something similar and block out the old hole and drill a larger one for the new pin. this means that all your dreads will have interchangable weapons. It is hard to discribe without piccies but hopefully you know what I mean.... :P Love it Elmo, that's a fantastic piece of hardware! Thanks Bryan - I am improving with each model (getting braver I think) Well dome Elmo this is top notch stuff! It also seems complete to me. If so declare the completion in the ETL thread, we need to get some points under our belt fast! Also, I'm assuming you're entering this as a Crusader since Redemeers are not in our list. Sorry to dissapoint but it still meeds about another day of weathering before I would consider it ready and then to complete my vow I still need to finish off the Tact Squad and yes it will officially be a Crusader. Don't worry though - I will announce my Vow P2 next weekend (Termies a-go-go :) ) You know what I am like when I get going and my painting cupboard is full of models just crying out "paint me!" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm sorry but I can't keep Capt S. in suspense any longer.... he is worrying far too much :D Assuming I complete ETL part 1 this week (which I feel confident in doing :D ) I will start: ETL part 2: 5 model Upgraded Deathwing Terminator Squad with Apothecary (270 pts) Sergeant with Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield Storm Bolter(x1); Chain Fist (x1) Cyclone Missile Launcher Storm Bolter(x1); Narthecium/Reductor Lightning Claws (pair) (x1) Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield (x1) 5 Model Deathwing Terminator Squad (240 pts) Sergeant with Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield Storm Bolter(x1); Chain Fist (x1) Cyclone Missile Launcher Lightning Claws (pair) (x2) Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield (x1) I have all the models so this should be completed fairly quickly (estimate 2 weeks) and I will be uploading the start photos next weekend along with the completed ETL p1 photos.

elmo Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks guys... Small mid week update, good news/bad news - Capt S please sit down ;) The LRC has now been mudded up just a little and for the purpose of the ETL it is complete - pictures on Fri. The Tact squad is going to need a couple of days longer as I just ran out of black spray :D so I will be prepping my Termies for spraying as I have loads of Bone spray :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have played DA since 2nd ed and I guess I should be ashamed that I have never had a completely painted army, so I shall fix it now. I have the rare captain from the box and I unit of 10 robies(that is the extent of regular DA) I have always mainly played Deathwing and hope our new dex don't screw things up for DW.

elmo Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 @ Capt. Semper - A quick P.S. I have managed to complete the Flamer/ML/Sgt for the Tactical Squad - I just need to spray/paint the arms/weapons of the bolter boys to finish ETL part 1. Expect to see photos of the completed vow next weekend along with wip on ETL part 2 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 *leaves slowly his blood pressure pill back on the table* There... I wasn't worried at all... :) Expect to see photos of the completed vow next weekend along with wip on ETL part 2 :( I beleive you mean this weekend?

elmo Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 *leaves slowly his blood pressure pill back on the table* There... I wasn't worried at all... ;) I beleive you mean this weekend? You may still need the pills.... I did mean next weekend (ie Fri 29 June) for the pictures as I am only spraying the arms/bolters this weekend then I will have them painted by Monday but I can only upload photos on weekends (don't ask :) ). This does leave the rest of the week for the termies though and I plan to be well into the first squad by then as well. These pills arn't blue ones are they cause they don't help the blood pressure :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Don't worry - you are in a different country! :) Actually those blue pills were originally developed for blood pressure but due to some interesting side effects they eventually decided to fine-tune them and market them differently... Not that I would know... I friend told me... :( ;) :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
