Teetengee Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Couple thousand more points for the paint gods if you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Haha don't overestimate it everyone! Some of these models will DEFINITELY get vowed for the ETL this year, but don't overestimate it: a 10-man squad of regular daemons is less than 100 points. I do also have four Blood Crushers that need paint, and these are less cheap, points wise. So they might get priority. ;) :tu:So NO, Atia, I will not wait until the CoC...

Teetengee Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 yeah, but the wo battlegroups are probably around 500-750 each plus the bloodthirster alone puts you well above 1k, plus the other units, might be around 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yup. I added it all up and all the daemons in the picture plus the bloodcrushers add up to 1636 pts... But that's a helluva lotta models for 'only' 1636 points... Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I like the little bits and conversions you do to your models Aug. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the Scorpion. Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yup. I added it all up and all the daemons in the picture plus the bloodcrushers add up to 1636 pts... But that's a helluva lotta models for 'only' 1636 points... Hmmm It definitely is more models than my vow, which is about double that points wise. Daemons are just very cheap!

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Speaking of.... http://did.youhearthenew.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Duck-Sauce-Charlie-Sheen-Spinstyles-Bi-Winning-Edit_thumb.jpg ... I did a tournament today at Games Workshop Amsterdam South and won! It was a 14 players tournament with three 1v1 pre-set Maelstrom of War rounds, where the winners of each round had to face the other winners, and the losers faced the losers. You could get one points each for massacres, painting/basing, preparedness (bring the rulebook, six objectives, clear army list, dice, tape measure, and templates), and one point for each 'most sportive opponent' nomination. I won all my games (12-2 vs Eldar, 17-3 vs Sisters of Battle, 17-3 vs Tyranids) and got all extra points and one 'most sportive opponent' nomination, which combined yielded me first place! Yay! My 999 points army list was this: HQ Chaos Lord, with VotLW, MoN, Blight Grenades, Bike, Lightning Claw, Power Fist, Sigil of Corruption, (175) TROOPS Cultist (9x), Cultist Champion (50) Cultist (9x), Cultist Champion (50) FAST ATTACK Heldrake with Baleflamer Bikers (3x) with two flamers, Biker Champion with Meltabombs and Lightning Claw, VotLW, MoN (148) HEAVY SUPPORT Havocs (6x), Havoc Champion, 4x Missile Launcher (161) Maulerfiend (125) Rapier Quad Heavy Bolter Battery (3x) (120) The prize was €40,- in gift vouchers, so I added some cash and got the new Promethium Relay Pipes and a Basilica Administratum, from both of which I'll be taking parts to use on the scenic base of my Brass Scorpion! Additionally, I've been doing some painting on my Nurgle Bikers and managed to get two almost finished yesterday evening. Here's some pictures. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.34.08_zps9ihna7xw.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.34.18_zps4wkslcyw.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/2015-05-23%2021.34.28_zps777l5u67.jpg Hope you like, and as always, feedback most welcome! Replies! I like the little bits and conversions you do to your models Aug. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with the Scorpion. Thanks buddy! I really try to convert/kitbash/add detail to each and every single miniature I have, and (large) vehicles in particular lend themselves to extra detailing Yup. I added it all up and all the daemons in the picture plus the bloodcrushers add up to 1636 pts... But that's a helluva lotta models for 'only' 1636 points... Hmmm It definitely is more models than my vow, which is about double that points wise. Daemons are just very cheap! Which is exactly why I shy away from doing them, as I'd like to get the most points out of my painting time during the running of the ETL Edited May 24, 2015 by Augustus b'Raass ShVagYeR, Kizzdougs and Eldrick Shadowblade 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Alright, another night of building is done and this is the result: the CHaos Vindicator with Twin Bolter and Extra Armour. Lots of trophies again, and I used the head of a rapier crew member, which looks just fantastic in this mech role. I did manage to loose the top targeter bit after the shoot... And I now cannot find it anywhere. Totes annoying. I might have to find a solution to this... :( Anyhow, here's the pics: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-23%2021.17.37_zpslbgmmpdx.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-23%2021.18.10_zpswokxpwgl.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-23%2021.17.46_zpsgrk1klo7.jpg Hope you like!!

KrautScientist Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The tanks are looking fantastic! Vibrant while also pretty sinister. The bikers are coming along rather nicely as well, although my gut feeling says the cage around that skeleton may just be a bit too bright, given the Nurglite affiliation of these guys. Maybe you could darken it down and/or add some verdigris to the golden/brazen portions...? Apart from such small gripes, spectacular work, as usual! :) Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will work on that tonight! :) @KrautScientist: Will do on the Skeleton Icon, Kraut, thanks for the feedback. I'm also pretty chuffed by your praise of the tanks, as I know you don't like Space Marine tanks in general. :) @Kurama: Haha cheers mate. I can't wait for the third pred to be finished. @ElDuderino: Get over it now - vehicles are canvases with sooo much opportunity. They're also very forgiving when you're a sloppy painter, like me. (The smallest brush I used on the tanks was size 2 (except for the tiny tiny lights beside the regular headlights, and the freehand Night Lords symbols)) ;) Pandoras Bitz Box, Kizzdougs, ShVagYeR and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Even though I cannot start painting it yet (it'll be part of my second ETL IV vow), I've already finished building the third and last of the Predator Annihilator talon. Here it is :) http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-31%2013.15.38_zpsyowptdqa.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-31%2013.15.45_zpsrlenj8hz.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-31%2013.15.57_zps1whcdbtm.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-31%2013.16.07_zpsi7d8lu9v.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/2015-05-31%2013.16.18_zpsdwh8352d.jpg Funilly enough, what I like most about this conversion is the head lights. I have no idea what they are from again, but I replaced the standard Rhino head lights with gothic ones. I struggled with coming up with a way to attach them realistically - I tried sculpting the behind, but my GS skills aren't up to the needed straight edges required. In the end I settled with plastic tubing cut diagonally. Even though I eyeballed the four diagonal cuts, I'm pretty happy with the result!! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/WP_20150531_007_zps3nipwscc.jpg Reply: @deathspectersgt7: Cheers buddy!
