Elmo's seemingly constant WIP

I can do a GW robed marine next to one of them on the weekend and try to go for ones with a similar pose.

 

Would this work for you?

Just a pic of one of those and one of your robed (already painted) GWs.

I want to see how much they look or not alike. No need to shift your painting plans for me.

Thanks though :D

seen your marines on  gw site today:thumbsup:

 

I uploaded some photos to the GW Flickr site. I think it was just random selection that picks which photos are shown but thanks anyway :laugh.:

 

Now on special request from Bro I

I will be picking up my RW swarm tomorrow though. :woot:

No problem - anything to help a fellow Brother :)

 

I will be dividing my time between my DA and Xenos but I have now wound up the last of my IG.

 

I am planning to get 10 or so RW done a month so this WIP will not go completely dead :wink:

As well as an evening or two weathering the last lot of my Knights of Caliban above (damn you Stobz, you are never satisfied :tongue.: )

 

Just a massive :thanks: for all your interest and comments - it has motivated and kept me on the path of the Unforgiven.

 

Now where did I put that Riptide?

even shorter marines lovely lol.   Guess they could be perfect for heresy era, because you could say, the slightly shorter guys are terrans, while the taller ones are calabanites.  

 

Looking good, and yeah I think its random on GW's flicker pics, but when I saw yours, I knew who they belonged too.

To break up the DV bikes I am planning a Chaplain and a Techmarine conversion - reading the Ravenwing novel the techmarine is discribed as having black armour with red shoulder pads.

 

The question is if my Librarian is in all blue armour and the plan is for the Apothecary to be in all white armour would it make sense for the Techmarine to be in all red?

 

I know I usually do my own thang but has anyone got any ideas or should I just go my own way.

 

Also I will be trying to mate up one of the DV bikes with the AB sidecar - has anyone tried this?

 

Oh and I forgot from the list above that I also have a Nephilim to magnetise and paint - good job I bnought an extra 2 spray cans of Chaos black. :thumbsup:

Thanks Stobz - that is sort of my thinking too but I may also go with the respectivly coloured helmet (the Stormbudgie had the same thing).

 

On second thoughts an all white Apothecary would look a little silly - pads and helmet white methinks. Don't want my RW to look like multi coloured clowns :blush.:

I'm going for that look too CS, less is moar! It seems once again Brother Elmo and I have similar projects on the go, let's see who gets finished first :devil:

I may even add blue to the right pad of my DW Libby if I end up going down that track :turned:

 

Doing the helmets and pads in specialist colours will look great Elmo dude, get onto it to provide me with inspiration :D

This will be almost a full 2nd Company to add to the 4th. Who said I should go for a full Chapter when I first joined BnC?

 

Seriously - who knows a good rehab centre - I need to get a grip on my plastic crack habit!!!

My 2nd Company will be

 

Sammi - Done

HQ squad/Black knights

Librarian - Done

Chaplain

Techmarine

8 x Attack squads - 2 done

2 x Support squads

Nephilim

Stormraven - Done

Landspeeder Storm (cause I can!) - Done

 

Just short a couple of LS and ABs.

 

The next couple of months will see me slowly working on the bikers in the picture a squad at a time - some of the figures will need alot of care as they where saved from previous owners.

 

1st Company next :tongue.:

Here we go with the first vow for ETLII

 

 

I, Veteran painting servitor Elmo9141 being of sound mind, poor eyesight and shakey hand,
hereby answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete RavenWing
Command Squad from the Dark Angels Codex to a total value of [point
value tbc] on or before August 15th.



Success will bring eternal glory to the Sons of the
Lion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame, and
re-education in Room 42 under the ministry of
Stobias Weatherbottom McGerkenshaw III's Chaplain Dreadnought Lucifer, until the year-end.


So do I vow and so will it be!


 


For Caliban and the Lion!


 


Pictures and points to follow....
