Tygwyn Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Greetings brothers - thank you for popping by to have a look at my ETL IV WIP. I am after all the C&C you are prepared to offer; I think I am slowly getting there with this painting lark, but have got a lot to learn and know that there is a lot of real skill, experience and wisdom out there so, have at it! I haven't been working at high speed compared to some, but here is the first part of my first vow completed - my first ever LS Typhoon. I have magnetized the missile launchers and the MM so they can be switched out - I have also put a magnet underneath so I could run it as a Tempest if I fancied it. I think that I am going to hit the bikes 'batch style' next to try and pick up the pace as I fear that we are lagging behind a little. For the Lion.

Epher Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Looks great! I like what you did with the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuka06 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 This an awesomely clean miniature! And I like the base as well. Looks very cool. I think something like nuln oil would help the bumper gain some volume or depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tygwyn Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks for the feedback chaps - I will have another look at the bumper, but think it might just be my direct light source that has washed it out a little. I'm battling with the 'feathers' on my bikes now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampyrerodent Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I think the speeder looks great. As for feathers, build up from Celestra grey. Otherwise you may go mad..... HAHAHA.... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygwyn Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have done a batch and started at Mechanicus Standard Grey, through Administratum Grey and Ulthuan Grey with White Scars tips. Oh then I had to go back with some well thinned Nuln Oil to tidy up a bit. Might drop one of those out next time...(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygwyn Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 So, I'm thinking about starting on my Librarian's bike, and wonder what people think for painting/markings on theirs. As the Librarius isn't part of the Ravenwing do you think that they would have their own/DA livery on a blue bike (Libby style) or would that loan a ride from the RW with single winged sword and all?

Stoic Raptor Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 With my Psyker-Biker conversion, I included Ravenwing elements in its construction (the feathered banner pole on back and the fairing) but also included scrolls and censers. As for painting it, I am torn. I've seen some amazing versions of this with a blue bike, and others with the standard Ravenwing black. My best advice is to prime the bike black and then paint up the Librarian. See what you think of him on the black bike, and if you decide to go blue, it's easy enough to paint it up from there. Here's one I really liked - not sure if this painter is here on the B&C:http://www.paintedminis.co.uk/dark-angels-librarian-bike/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygwyn Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well, I am nearly finished with my First ETL vow - and thought that it was time to drop in a progress update. I have finished the Attack Bike and the Biker LIbrarian. I decided to stick with the black bike in the end, despite the Librarius not being part of the Ravenwing. I figured that they would borrow a bike from there anyway, and the contrast of blue/black looks nice to me! Should be able to post my completed vow pics tomorrow or early next week. Just a few finishing marks to make on the main bike squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberame Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Like the lightning effects on the libby. Attack bike reminds me of the army I sold and now miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygwyn Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Here are some of the lads from my 1st ever ETL vow: Sgt Kushiel leading the team into battle: Ready to melt the face of any heretics he finds (but secretly wondering why all his battle brothers keep going on about grav guns, and thinking he should get in on the act. Just liked the back of this one - looks like he's burning away from a hit and run. This is what a Hammer of Wrath looks like as it turns in to crush you. Mmmmmm Hunty.
