AndrewChristlieb Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Started on the base and my brain said "Marines Malevolent would never send as scout if a penal trooper could do the job". http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/AC561935-BE75-473B-991F-03A4A61A60C6_zpsepjh9ngs.jpg No idea how to make wire cutters but he's a Catachan, he may have chewed the wire http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/6719112F-3D57-4371-B939-2901D2E76B77_zpsvxiqywcb.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/5AB3CE0D-8B92-4249-8727-9C8B26A4EEA3_zpsuhqagmn5.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/Mobile%20Uploads/8FC8F8D3-120A-4EB7-A9E4-55F995BDB934_zpslff7yjt3.jpg Just a few minor touch ups to fix later down the road, but this one is finished. Thanks Augustus for running the event and thanks everyone for participating. I'd especially like to thank Dantay, Atia, and Andrew Christlieb, without you I wouldn't been able to enter into the Arena and learn the new skills I did and reinforce the old skills I have. Looking forward to the event next year :) Dang, I need to on those Meophytes I guess. And yes I misspelled Neophyte, but I'm keeping it, maybe they're Hello Kitty Neophytes. Just to please brother Firepower. :D The Stormtalon looks really good, the paint is a bit scuffed up though. They should get that thing back to the Techs so they can respray it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 ^^even though the talon looks awesome and 200plus did an amazing job, the techpriests over at the chapter's spray booth should be forced to wear the Mea Culpa badge ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If you think the Talon looks bad you should see my marines http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301964-2015-army-fight-or-die/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Grrr, just when I was ready to taunt your apparent laxity, you have to go and paint something. Looks pretty good. There seems to be a mold line issue or something on the left leg of the ax man. Speaking of, it looks like this ax came out a bit better. The scripture down the middle of the sword helped with your latest power weapon technique, too. It worked out pretty well. Not so much on the other sword, but it's a bit late in the game to go back to the Blanchette technique To clean it up, I'd recommend doubling down on the darker blue near the hilt with the lower edge of the sword. It's good and strong towards the point on the upper edge, but the lower edge is sorta washed out as a hazy blue-white. Couldn't hurt to clean up the sudden slice of bright blue on the interior edge of the ax, either. And in fairness, the slightly warped shape of the resin swords probably isn't making it any easier. Liking the plasma glows. I gotta give hand brushed OSL a go some day. And the white chest pieces and minimal yellow continues to work well. I'm on the fence with the face crosses.

Augustus b'Raass Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Two new challenges issued and accepted, and one of them already finished! Plus Atia, Mactire and Teetengee completed their challenge. Awesome job all four of you Less than a week to go until the final deadline and the end of the event, people!!! (I'm lucky my order of building bits came in today, so I can start the base of my hell blade!) UPDATED TO THIS POINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Any word on the potential bonus/modified badges for those who completed multiple challenges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShVagYeR Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The Thousand Sons unit is complete, if a bit too late: http://i62.tinypic.com/13z7v9.jpg Unfortunately I won't be accepting another challenge to wash away the shame. I'm spending most of my time in bed nowadays due to a viral infection. Oh well, I'll bear the banner of failure in my signature with pride!

Augustus b'Raass Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 ShVagYer, even though you are late, that's still a very beautiful squad you managed to finish there. Well done! Wear your Mea Culpa with pride and hope to see you next year. :tu: Teetengee, thanks mate. And well done! Cultists can be a hastle to paint, even though they're really nice mini's. You did it like a boss. (editted and corrected both the update and the record keeping post.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlson793 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well, since I had the camera out for a 'put up or shut up' from Kurgan, figured I might as well get a couple more WIP pics of the Firedrakes. Just have some details to square away (tassels, hammer touch-ups...) and they're complete. (Usual photo apologies: it was spur-of-the-moment.) http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_10505/gallery_80588_10505_159736.jpg http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_10505/gallery_80588_10505_138227.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewChristlieb Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I guess it's time for a little update here. :P I've still got to go back and do some touch ups plus details like eyes and lenses and the bases so these shouldn't hopefully be too much longer till they're complete. Which is good because they have a game Saturday! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so that the sicaran in the back isn't even part of the pledge and us meant to be done next week but thinking I might get that done too. Finished iff all my TWC, my dread and the remaining drop pods aswell as this... http://i.imgur.com/lo2Opmy.jpg Although you will notice the cockpit canopy is missing.....a new one has been ordered due to a little incident.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Did it break or did you spill somehting on it? Almost all paint comes off the canopies with alcohol. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am sorry brethren, but my second challenge will be a failure :( I just won't have the time to get them done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 When on the 19th is the deadline?when the 19th is over all over the world!! I should pick up the paint brush then. Only basecoats done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangbanger Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Did it break or did you spill somehting on it? Almost all paint comes off the canopies with alcohol. :tu: Well I tried to tin it with some humbrol clear paint and messed it up a couple of times cleaning it with white spirit...it then got brittle and snapped... :( What did you use to tint your chaos flyer?

Augustus b'Raass Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Tamiya Clear Red. Never use white spirit (EVER AGAIN) - as that indeed fracks up plastic (and in time even resin). Alcohol works infinitely better to get acrylics off. If you MUST clean painted miniatures that also have been painted with basecoat, use Break Fluid. It's super acidic and dangerous to use (wear BIG and THICK rubber gloves as even its slightest chemical burn will leave your hands looking like those of lepers for two weeks (I speak from experience)), but will strip paint off of metal, finecast, resin, and plastic without damaging it (don't leave resin or finecast in for more than a couple days though, as break fluid will eventually turn that stuff into rubber). :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangbanger Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yeah...you learn from your mistakes! Thanks for the tips budy! How do you stop it from pooling and get a Nice even coverage from the clear paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Apply it thinly, and try to leave the surface horizontally while it dries. It disperses evenly through capillary action. You can add more layers if you think the hue is too light once dried. This takes patience as TC paints need about four hours to dry, but well worth the wait.

AndrewChristlieb Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Unless you have some sort of allergic reaction to break fluid it's not very likely to harm you. Prolonged contact can cause some harm, but then you're not likely to soak in the stuff! ;) Just wash it off if you get any on you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
