+++E Tenebrae Lux V - Blood Angels Strategium+++

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Nicely done Brother Lemartes! The DC Dread in white looks really cool.

[LutherMax]

I have a bit of a dilemma.

 

I should have my first vow (Dante) finished within a week and was planning on doing Lemartes next but I'm also tempted by Gerantius... Dante has taken me over a month but that is mainly because I didn't really start working on him in earnest till about two weeks into the ETL - so he will have taken about four weeks in total to complete.

 

Question is do I go low risk and pledge Lemartes or go balls out and commit to finishing Gerantius in what will be the seven remaining weeks?!

Knights are easier than you think... if you have an airbrush.  Speaking of which, here is my weekly-ish update: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302126-lucumons-blood-angels-task-force/page-3?do=findComment&comment=4423147

I have compleated my second vow. a Chaplain with Plasma Pistol and Jump Pack for 120 points.

I think my next vow will be a Predator with Lascannon. 

 

That awkward moment when you've had a typo for the whole time and didn't notice. :/

I do indeed have an airbrush... Yours are looking really good, and the process pics are really useful. I'll have a look back through your thread and that will help me assess workload...

[Xenith]

Finished Corbulo and the Baal, so 815pts under the belt, and just the Vanguard to go.

[LutherMax]

WIP of Dante. Main things still to do are airbrush effects on the axe and jump pack thrusters...

[Chaplain Gunzhard]

He looks awesome, how do you do your jump pack thrusters with the airbrush?

[LutherMax]

Thanks Gunzhard!

 

I'm planning to do them like I did on my Sanguinary Guard:

[Chaplain Gunzhard]

I've seen them before, they are gorgeous... but I want to know HOW(?) you did it LOL.

[LutherMax]

Ah I see what you mean :)

 

I'll take some step-by-step pics when I do them but basically they (and the axe blade) are basecoated now dark blue (looks black in the pic but it's actually Vallejo Model Air 'Insignia Blue'). I'll mask everything off and then spray a circle of Light Sea Blue in the centre, and a smaller circle of white in the centre of that. Then some white edge highlights and done :)

If in doubt balls out! Mostly becuse i really wanna see your finished knight. Secondly for all the points its gonna bring to the pledge.

[Xenith]

It's a toss up, really. My lemartes actually only took me a day or two, it has the right amount of detailing not to be a pain, but I go through vehicles super fast also!

[LutherMax]

I'm using the "new" jump chaplain model to proxy - just swapped the Infernus for a Forge World bolt pistol. It shouldn't take long really... I'm leaning towards doing Gerantius, then if I have time for a third vow I can squeeze in Lemartes.

 

As Jonke said, we could use the points...

[evildrcheese]

I love painting but it takes ages...need to find a way of speeding up my game.

[LutherMax]

Me too! :D

Bigger paintbrush... Covers twice the area = paints twice as quickly

[Xenith]

Hey all, dont forget to enter a character for the Feast of Blades to gain glory and renown among the frater!

Already started poking my second vow, though I'll be doing less unfortunately as work has gotten very busy. Still, better than no vows at all!

[LutherMax]

That's clinched it, I'm vowing Gerantius next for 500 points.

[CaptainHelion]

Gerantius and anything else? Don't get me wrong, the Big G is a brilliant vow. Just wondering if you'll be dragging our average vow up.

[Captain Semper]

The BA average vow is 419pts. ;)

[CaptainHelion]

WELL I retract my point. You're already doing an excellent job.
