+++E Tenebrae Lux V - Horus Heresy Strategium+++

[God-Potato of Mankind]

I am digging just how many volkite culverins we are pledging. It seems like every other pledge has a heavy support squad :D

[Parweke]

Good job everyone!

 

Now, I have problem. Cant decide how to paint the shoulder pads. I made 3 different ones but cant pick one. So you guys choose for me, ok? ☺

 

Pad #1 washed brass

 

Pad #2 brass with black

 

Pad #3 brass with black and painted eye (only red painted atm)

3 cans of Kyrlon camo black. Quite nice though a bit on the rough side - in hindsight maybe should've use Vallejo Gloss Black Surface Primer for some of the metal parts (guns?). Sticks great though.

Sprayed through near a bottle of Vallejo Metal color Steel. Then misted some Vallejo Metal color Magnesium, Gunmetal and Silver. Did the red panels with Vallejo Model Air Scarlet Red, except the ankle panels which I used the Game Color Scarlett Red. Turns out they're not quite the same :/

Black panels i just used Vallejo Black Primer at this stage. Gonna try weathering the panels with decals and trim already on imo.

Trim is Vallejo Metal Color Gold - love this, pretty much does the weathering automatically depending how thick you slap it on. So so tedious though. Spraying was done by Friday evening, except the head. Spent three days on the Gold trim, still not quite finished with the head and shields.

Got impatient and tested out the FW decals which are lovely, though need some clean up on the edge of the shields where the clear part isn't sitting flush.

Next step is finish the gold trim and use Vallejo Metal Color Silver and Copper for the pistons and pipes, paint the cables and weather the plates and of course do something about the guns, heat damaged?. Getting some AK stuff hopefully tomorrow for weathering/oiling. And of course need to do the crew too. Anyone know the colour of titan crew uniforms? specifically Legio Mortis?

Need to decide whether to paint the raised metal parts on the toes and the top carapace void shield houses gold too. And of course where else i will place the decals.

Looks near complete but not even half way done yet and work leave is up today. I hope to not see another spray can or airbrush for a while.

Torso is magnetised and the arms, guns connected to arms via brass rod. Carapace guns not magnetised for now. Head also magnetised. Panels lightly glued on, except for the gun panels which still need more trim work. Probably gonna reglue the left shin pad...

Just wait for payday, my friend, there's gonna be another 10 man culverin squad on the way

The mdrc will have enough points to win the ETL by themselves XD

The culverins look glorious, and make great use of B@C marines in armies that already have tones of FW mkIV marines. Gonna use all my B@C marines as heavy support.

[Balthamal]

Some more progress on my vow

Keep up the great work everybody

ADB said it best

No, to Hell with Kizzdougs. He's too good and I hate him.

Sorry Cap can you also please amend my points vow, I'm dropping the vexilla and adding an extra 2 bodies to the tactical squad for a nice round 200 points

[Big Bad Squig]

Progress!  This bad boy has eaten up my time, but at last, he is finished.  Also, Captain Semper, I've decided against a combi-bolter for my vindicator, but will be sticking on a dozer blade instead for the same points value.  I'm hoping this is fine.

@ Col.hertford: An amazing tank! Well done sir, this metal shine is excellently done! You should be very proud!

@ GrMonkey99: Welcome the ETL and the B&C brother! Enjoy your time here and feel free to ask any questions! Good luck with your robots!

@ Ninjaman: Wow! Tyrants! :devil: Look forward for the next vow!

@ 200plus: Solid stuff mate! I really like the extra dark feel of your Iron Warriors! Vow again?

@ helterskelter: Done! ;)

@ Balthamal: Im sorry, what is the new total?

You sir are doing credit to your Faction, the ETL and the B&C! This is an amazing feat and very well executed! Best of luck to the very end!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Memento Of Prospero]

With School officially over wednesday, you can expect the Iron Hands machine to turn it up to 11 this week!

 

What's that little Timmy? Only a part time job this summer and enough paint to drown in? Sounds like a plan.

[Combat_Vet]

Having completed my vow, but not receiving my mail as expected, I have decided to rearrange my first follow up vow.

 

I, 200Plus, again rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux and vow to complete 1 Knight Crusader, 1 Knight Gallant, and 1 10-man Legion support squad armed with volkite calivers w/Rhino for a total point value of 1155 pts, on or before August 15 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to the Iron Warriors and failure will forfeit my prior vow as well as doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until years end.

 

Crusader

I had to cannibalize a few test minis to make the squad, but they were destined to be repainted regardless.

 

Iron within, Iron without!

[KBA]

Knights! I can't tell you how exited I am for my second vow with my knights. Your pics are really inspiring me to finish my Reaver and my Choomtemptor. C'mon FW shipping, don't fail me now :)

Some more progress on my vow



Keep up the great work everybody

I agree with others these are amazing.

Would you mind sharing your white recipe?

[muttering] Never been able to paint white properly [/muttering]

Cheers.

Vogon.

Thanks bro! The 'white' is pretty straightforward.

I start with a 2/1 mix of White Scar and Celstra Grey. I applied two thin coats of this mix to get a solid finish and then 'black lined' it with some watered down Mechanicus Standard Grey. That's all that it's had done so far. I'm planing to finish it off with a White Scar highlight, but I'm going to leave it until last of all so that the white doesn't get mucked up by any other colours.

Some more progress on my vow

Keep up the great work everybody

ADB said it best

No, to Hell with Kizzdougs. He's too good and I hate him.

Hahaha, being dissed by the great man himself was definitely a hobby career highlight

Ps. We've got a WARLORD! Shouldn't we just win by default?!? Massive respect Demonl :tu:

[Ezeriel]

Update on my first vow, the forge lord is complete. Excuse the bad picture.

Now onto the Glaive.

[BlueBelly1863]

Gosh all of this amazing!! So glad I decided to join in on the ETL this year. Lets keep up the great work, love seeing all the different minis!
