+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Adepta Sororitas Strategium+++

[Teetengee]

Impressively loony, definitely. Don't you need the time to be painting ETL models?

I have far more computer access time then I have paint access time alas.

[WarriorFish]

The perils of work :(

[Jacinda]

Work? I just said I wanted a job. I never said anything about work.

ETL IV - FIFTH WEEKLY UPDATE

[tvih]

Sigh, fifth week and I haven't even had the energy to start. This is starting to look like a repeat of last year...

[Warsmith Aznable]

Sigh, fifth week and I haven't even had the energy to start. This is starting to look like a repeat of last year...

Chin up, I've just started priming myself. Between the relentless rain and a (lateral) promotion at work I haven't had time or energy to get much done yet myself either. But faith and determination will carry us through.

 

The rain here in Side 3 has continued long out of season. I'm worried about the undercoat I just applied, but I felt I had to go ahead despite the humidity. Maybe by the time I get home tonight the Emperor will have met me halfway and the finish won't be all cruddy.

 

Ave Imperator, I am(finally) ready to begin.

[WarriorFish]

As long as you finish your vow that's all that matters, get the paint brush out and I'm sure you'll get going :) If not, I suppose these Penitent Engines aren't going to pilot themselves...

[Captain Semper]

Yes... By the end of the this week, we'll be at the mid-point of the event... So keep that in mind and spring into action! 

[Warsmith Aznable]

Got some work done on the Immolator today:

I haven't done much hard outlining before, and I'm pretty sure I've yet to get the hang of it. Part of me says "it looks OK on the table" and another part of me says "paint all that back in black and start again."

Which voice should I listen to?

EDIT: also this is a phone picture run through a free online editor...

[Captain Semper]

I think it's fine... If I was to make any change I'd look for a thinner line rather than a change in the shade. Form this picture it comes across as a bit blue-ish, which I like. You know, blue-black kind of feel. I don't know what you use but I find mixing turquoise with black makes for a very good and subtle highlight...

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[*Furyou Miko]

I don't like this kind of edge-highlightign flat out - it works OK for something like Tau or Necrons that have high-tech stuff with glowy lines all over it, but for an Imperial tank it just... doesn't fit the feel, you know?

 

Imperium stuff should be more 'beige box' and less 'custom supercharger gaming PC'.

[Kriegsmacht]

I have an urge to watch Tron now. Not a bad thing at all. hehe

 

I'm questioning my highlighting for my Repentias skin so I can understand how you feel Warsmith.

The shade does look great man and it definately works as a highlight to the black, but the lines do need to be thinner as they stand out a bit too much at the mo.

Cracking start though mate - looking forward to seeing more!

ETL IV - SEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE

[Sith’ari]

Soooo, zero hour is approaching guys. How are you getting on?

Fingers crossed I should have my second vow done in a couple of days.

[WarriorFish]

Approaching is a relative term here Some more progress would be good to see, otherwise I'll have to write a letter to the Emperor telling him how much you don't care... Let's see some updates on what's going on, even if it's just a sentence or two to let us know how you're doing

[Naminé]

I will be starting my vow once I get back from Sweden, hopefully I can get it all done in a month despite how slow I paint!

[Sith’ari]

Vow the second complete!

Phew! Depending on work I may be able to squeeze a third vow in. I'll have a check on the rota tomorrow and report back! B) 

[tvih]

Definitely gonna have to start working on my vow this weekend! Also despite being broke I ordered an Exorcist two weeks back or so, I think it's currently waiting for me in the post office. Something extra to vow if by some miracle I get around to finishing the first vow with time to spare. Now if only I had decided how to paint my Sisters' vehicles...

[WarriorFish]

Well done Sith, great to see so much gold. Models always look better in number ;) The teal lenses are a great fit too :tu: Any ideas on what your next vow could be?

[Vigrid Of Asgaror]

Half my Celestian squad is painted up, just need to do the others and the Celestian superior and then the Rhino. Going slow, but making progress. I may even push out a second vow.

[Captain Semper]

Well done Sith'ari - a second vow complete! :tu: 

 

To the rest, keep in mind that we are effectively 2/3 down in the event - so time is now becoming an issue.

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[WarriorFish]

This is the crunch time, where all promises of glory are kept or broken - this year will be one of success so let's try and get remaining vows completed in good time :tu:
