True dedication there Commodus! :tu:

Vow 2 Update!

Tech-Priest Dominus COMPLETE!

Now for the big project . . .

Note: Got one basecoat in before I remembered I needed WIP pics, which is why they have red mitts! Also, spoilers for my paint scheme . . .

[WarriorFish]

Nice work Vel, not long left to get in those vows for the glory of the Omnissiah! :D

[Kilofix]

Messaged Semper to see if he will let me Vow my Warlord for any points. Technically it's completely scratch built out of foam and plasticard so per rules - no. But I'm checking. Otherwise I'll just OOC it.

[frostbite]

Gotta say Kilo, those Titans look mighty sweet!

 

As for myself, here's vow three done and dusted:

Hi Folks,

Due to a personal loss, the forges of Mars were closed for a while, but i'm back and the forges have been re-opened. Been painting silently in the background while seeing some awesome work coming through. Good job all.

My progress :

So far, the datasmiths and Magos are done, the servitors need some additional armor panels painted up for the breachers and the Kastellans need some layers. Everything also needs to be based, but I should be on target for completion by the end of the month

[WarriorFish]

Great work everyone, good to see work being done and just as importantly shared. Keep it up! :D

[Vel'Cona]

I'm still on target, but time is definitely getting tight. Luckily, there are no interesting new releases to distract me.

[WarriorFish]

You have no excuses Vel after all the rattling you've done :lol:

[Kilofix]

Last Vow 5.

 

Warlord Titan - 1350 points (discount as scratch built).

 

Pic with just base coat on the different sub assemblies:

:tu:

[frostbite]

Well with less than a month to go, I'd best not waste any time. On to vow 4!

 

I, Frostbite, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one unit of three Kataphron Destroyers with Heavy Grav Cannon and Phosphor Blasters, worth 165pts, and one unit of three Kataphron Destroyers with Plasma Culverin and Phosphor Blasters, also worth 165pts, for a total of 330pts, from Codex Cult Mechanicus, on or before the 1st of August. Success will bring eternal glory to the Omnissiah and the Forge World of Lucius, while failure will doom me to wear the badge of the oathbreaker until the end of the year.

[WarriorFish]

Indeed, get that paint brush going frost! Good to see another vow in :)

 

For the rest of you, should I be warming up the servitor system? ;)

[Zebulon]

Little bit of progress...

So that's some more basecoat action (warplock bronze aka tin bitz) and some dry fitting cos it looks awesome when they are semi-assembled

[WarriorFish]

Nice work, keep up the pace and you'll be done soon :)

[Vel'Cona]

Fortunately, it seems like we're still getting some big vows in our final weeks for ETL! I'm still optimistic about finishing my vow on time, mostly because the Kastelans are super easy and fun to paint.

[WarriorFish]

As long as they're completed vows that is, it's make or break time!

[pompeyladbfp]

Vow 1 complete! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/pompeyladbfp/temporary_zpsbqruskrs.jpg

[pompeyladbfp]

Vow 2... I have a week off and a tournament where I need these guys so..

12 servitors, 4 kastellans (1painted so don't count I believe?) magos x 2, tech priest dominus. Points 1500

In pic you can see bases for servitors but still on cutting mat.

[WarriorFish]

Great work pompey! So many models together is always nice to see and you've done a really good job on them :tu: Another sizeable vow to follow up with so I'll look forward to that - better get that paint brush going if you're going to paint them all up in time! ;)

[pompeyladbfp]

The pics are a few days old.. Already good progress.. The servitors are actually an easy paint job.

[Vel'Cona]

Grats on finishing your first vow and the excellent second vow, pompeyladbfp!

Gonna put me to shame at this rate.

[WarriorFish]

Only one person can resolve that Vel ;)

 

Keep up the good work everyone, lots of vows are coming in across the B&C as the ETL slowly winds up - make sure you're not left behind! :)

Another update:

Not sure yet whether I will leave these weapons the "wrong way around" but I think this pose has better movement as the trailing leg works better with the chainsword coming through at an angle.

Lots more bits part painted now.

And more... Apologies if they don't show up well against the tin they are standing on...

 

Coming along nicely, I hope you'll agree! I have also spent some time thinking about and researching the fluff. Slightly annoyingly a similar idea to mine in terms of the look of the model appeared in WD26... <teaser>
