Recommended Posts

The Praetor of the Ashen Brigade, Aryeh Avraham, is done! Wanted him to be the centerpiece of my force. Pics:

Did a little more glazing, and a little more shading -- along with picking out and washing some of the metallics :)

Getting there! I included my old SoH grunt to show the change in my overall scheme. This decision was two fold:

 

1. The amount of steps using the FW air paints were cut in half compared to my citadel scheme

 

2. I really dig the 'stormy sea' green. Makes my older scheme look like a little too green IMO

WELP.... as promised, I finished these guys and here they are. Worked through the night to make sure they were finished within 24 hours of my first update... so here you are, I also took pics of the whole unit and all of my possessed Word Bearers as well just for the hell of it.

Gal Vorbak Plasma Gunner #1 - This guy has gold tattoos all over his face to emulate Lorgar and what I also did with Zardu Layak. It's kind of hard to pick out the detail, but it's there.

sigh- havent actually painted anything yet... sold the storm eagle and 15 of the 20 mkii assault dudes and picked up a set of Immortals, IF mkiii heads, templar termi pads and fists LR door for my spartan, 2 more quad guns and a lightning. Have spread my bits about enough to finally have an idea of what I have and what I want to have to finish this ETL up strong:)!

Beautiful wub.png lets call that Gasoline green tongue.png (pretty much the green colour in GTA-V for custom cars)

Almost there! Just shy of my weekend goal of crossing this thing off my list smile.png

I guess I should join the fold especially after failing so spectacularly last time.

I Vazzy, Once Ultramarine and now follower of the Glory of Lorgar, exalted be his name, vow to paint:

Zardu Layak: 175 Pts

9x Gal Vorbak :350 pts

Artíficer Armor

Tainted blade

Power Weapon.

Should I fail, I shall sacrifice my soul to the ruinstorm.

Cap, I'm curently in Europe until the 28th of June, is it cool if I upload pictures then?

Good to have you in the ETL again Vazzy, look forward for your WBs! And it's totally fine to post the pics whenever, provided you have not started on the miniatures yet. msn-wink.gif

Admittedly slow progress recently, but with exams finishing up speed should ramp up.

We stand in Midnight Clad...

I assume the Marine on the ground is a Salamander? It surely cannot be a Dark Angels as you'd have to reposition the miniatures completely... tongue.png

Vow 1 complete

Vow was Mortarion, 10 Deathshroud and a Spartan.

So I present to you

Wow hi res is unflattering. On his first outing the cloak broke off, in fixing it I got a drop of super glue which I thought I'd cleaned up. Guess I've got some touch up to do. BATTLE DAMAGE!

Impressive work there Brother Sanvael! Everything from the Spartan and its bull dozers to the amazing coloration of the Scythe is just too good for words...Congratulations!

This is a great choice! It makes you sea-green unique and different. If it also means it's faster you've got a win-win! I think there should be a book written on the SoH colour variations... Impressive stuff KBA!

You said you were going to do it and you did it! woot.gif Well done sir, a great core for your Word Bearers if there ever was one! thumbsup.gif

Great! Don't forget to let me know when you work-out the points! msn-wink.gif

My veteran tactical squad and the Thallaxi in clouding the test models.

And the Storm Eagle is finished;

I might get around to adding more details if we get any space wolf transfers or legion specific doors etc but he's good enough for me to move on from.

 

That puts me over half way with my second vow; just a sicarian, Spartan, Typhon & Cerberus left

Long time lurker emerging here to do my bit for the cause, Im currently in the middle of my final school exams so my progress will be slow until july, but I thought I'd get my foot though the so I don't miss the cut off.

 

I vow the following:

A World Eater Centurion for the glory of the XIIth. A legion champion with a jump pack and melta bombs for 110 points.

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag471/Elkoatl/20160517_191642_zps7yh6s5h9.jpg

 

 

Three Thallax I got second hand from ebay, with one chainblade, melta bombs and a photon thruster for 180 points.

http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag471/Elkoatl/s-l140_zpsbktmfsb5.jpg

 

I have more I hope to add later, a domitar on the way, more astartes and hopefully a knight, but this will serve to start.

++OLIS' WEEK TWO (AND A BIT) ROUND UP++


Brothers and sisters, You have my profound apologies for the late thread update, for you see I was away in London this weekend just gone. Mostly sweating in a leather jacket on some very sunny days and complaining about underdone steak, but that's by the by. We have seen Semper's second update and we can clearly tell that, once again, we are storming into the lead in pretty much every category. Just like last year. Deep breaths, people, deep breaths.

As of now we have:

  • Pledged total: 89,516 points
  • Completed total: 9,159 points
  • Vows completed: 13
  • Completion rate: 10.2%
  • Number of vows: 93
  • Average vow: 962 points

Not bad numbers if I may say so myself. The value of the average vow may have dropped by a good amount compared to last week but at least we still have vows and, more importantly, completions coming in. Of note, we now have another titan pledged to the cause by Ninjaman! Good to see you bringing out the big guns, brother. thumbsup.gif

Now then, we have had quite the slow down in recruitment, as can be expected in Weeks Two and Three, going from 74 vows in the first week to 19 (including revows). That's not great, if you were being unfair (as our rivals could be, were they not sporting). On the other hand, 19 more vows is a significant increase compared to many other subforums.

Last year we barely broke the 100,000 points mark. This year, I truly believe we'll break that again. Will we easily do it this time?


Notable vows

Demonl: Warlord titan and a 3k point vow!
KBA: Reaver titan!
Kurama: First Blood and 3k point vow!

Ninjaman: Warhound titan! <--- New Entry!
Wolf_Pack: 3k point vow!
Zujara: 3k point vow!

Edit - Not accounting for our new member here, Clank! Welcome to the forums brother and enjoy the ETL! biggrin.png

Quick question to my fellow 30k'rs tongue.png

I dont have 30k books yet ($$$) but my next vow is going to be the termie squad from the calth box... Soooo how should i equip them as Imperial fists???

before you ask, I do know i'd like to eventually run/steer towards a (is it the pride of the legion?? unsure.png...) themed Imp fists force so combi bolters and what else ... chain fists???

i want to get a vehicle to put them in eventually so i'm being very far sighted here(i can hear the words now tongue.png "How are you going to get them across the table without being shot up etc etc..")... any help in creating the squad would be greatly appreciated wub.png i better start cleaning em up ready for priming !!

MODS- (Will edit the post to be my second vow when i work out the squad composition)

cheers, Mithril
