+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Realm of Chaos Strategium+++

[Carrack]

I finished my Nurgle Obliterator. I think he came out more corroded and disgusting than my last two, which of course pleases me. My last little touch was the chump who has been pile drived into the tundra at his feet. :)

I still have to finish up my eBay purchased DV Helbrute. He most likely will need a few days of painting at the rate I am going. This was my first time working with a model that makes extensive use of the "snap-on" parts. Overall I think this makes it easier than the box Helbrute, but I liked the options better that came with the box. I of course messed it up and forgot to put the face in before connecting the front and back frames. I think I can squeeze a helmet less terminator head in instead. Does anyone have any better ideas?

Got any fantasy zombie heads? They fit quite well.

[Carrack]

@Razblood. No zombie heads, but I do have a beastman champ, whose long neck may reach out of the jaws of the brute and make for an interesting pose, I'll have to experiment tommorrow. No wait, I get to experiment tommorrow. The fun that is Chaos.

[Chaeron]

(NB: Twin Autocannons are represented by Kheres Assault Cannons on both armed Dreads as it's the most appropriate count-as - I've used the old photo of my Contemptor family too, weapons should correspond to the above, but any errors may be because the majority are magnetised. I've used the Tempestus Scion models for the Renegade Marauders, because they're lovely - and look positively roguish. Hopefully, haven't made any errors of calculation, please do shout if there's anything wrong though, and will duly correct! This is a great opportunity to get both Contemptor Talons painted too...)

 

Pre-photos now included!

 

The Decimator is pictured with the Group below - regrettably, having sprayed everything else that I needed to this afternoon, there was a tragic accident involving a rolling tyre, that has led to a slight accident... the rest of the family is gathered round to pay their respects:

[thamier]

that is awsome Chaeron just be sure you can finish it with time to spare ;)

 

but really looking forward to seeing it completed

[Chaeron]

That's the plan! Only thing left to spray is the second Baneblade, and I will need to clean the dust off the first - and we're good to go.

Oh, and put the broken Contemptor ('Humpty') back together: thankfully, the previous owner had pinned him very well, so shouldn't be too hard.

[thamier]

silly question, what is the daemon pact banner thingy?

[1000 Sons]

Huzzah ! Vow #1 is done.

Nurgle Marines

These Sanguinary Guard found the truth of Tzeentch and were gifted with the Rubric.

There were only 2 nurgle spawn but I felt a whole family picture would be nice of the 5.

@Chaeron: That, as predicted, is beautiful. If you screw it up, I accept no responsibility for talking you into it!

[Warsmith Uveron]

We got this guys! 

 

3 Weeks left! 

[Kierdale]

A call to keyboards my heathen and traitorous brethren!

I would call your attention to the subject of the next Inspiration Friday, care of our very own Lord Carrack.

ETL Background Challenge. Write a background piece on one of the Chaos models you created for this year’s ETL. You can write a brief history of the model and its role in your forces, or a memorable battle or event that this model played a pivotal role.

Alternate challenge 1. If you are for some lame reason, siding with the loyalist this ETL, write about the models first, recent, or most memorable encounter with the forces of Chaos.

Alternate challenge 2. If you are not participating in this year's ETL, write something similar about a recent model you have finished.

Feel free to include pictures of the model you are using.

The challenge runs until the 17th of July.

Let us be inspired...

[Scribe]

Great idea. :D

[Captain Semper]

I will only say this: You're doing really, really well... more details in the Weekly Update...

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[K0rtmer]

@Captain Semper: Subject to your agreement I declare my second vow finished:



My apologies for being late, later than anticipated anyway. It's hard to believe how many things got into the way of my hobby time – even although I'm on a holiday. Considering the fact that my real (work) life is going to take over in no time again, I won't be placing a third vow at this point. If I run into something quick and easy, well, I'll put it up. But I rather play safe this far into the ELT.

[Iron Skull Mask]

Hey Kortmer, I really like the look of these guys. Awesome job!

[MyDaemonCallista]

The momentum seems to be in our favour. Let's keep it going!

 

Vow 4: MyDaemonCallista rises to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vows to complete:

 

1 Chaos Sorcerer + psychic mastery level 3 + mark of Tzeentch + disc of Tzeentch + Black Mace + Scrolls of Magnus + spell familiar, from Codex: Chaos Space Marines.

For a total of 230 points, on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to The Tears of Tizca, Thousand Sons (and their allies) and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

[Chaeron]

Hey Kortmer, I really like the look of these guys. Awesome job!

 

Agreed, they're gorgeous!

[Dragonlover]

Oh, Wooly Pammeth sends encouragement to all and apologises for the non-materialisation of any subsequent vows. We couldn't get the bits ordered in time for her to feel comfortable about finishing.
