Warsmith Uveron Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Thirty six ( so far are accounted for in the debris ) people died at one of the venues ( Ghost Ship in Oakland, CA ) I worked at, so been consolidating work at various venues/wake schedules and filling in since a significant amount of people who work are out due to grieving since a lot of the key members/support staff are injured/dead or lost someone they were incredibly close too. I want to give my Condolences. I would try and say something positive and supportive, but words can be quite hollow on the anonymity of a forum like this. But I will say this, my Facebook feed has been filled with tributes to the wonderful creative people who were taken from us by this tragedy. Because of this I know that the thoughts and sympathy of many are with the people left to try and move forward with their lives, and i know that the many will be there if you need us.

Augustus b'Raass Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Obscura, I had no knowledge of what happened and just read all about it. I'm so sorry, man. My condolences to you and yours. What a terrible tragedy. Words fall short. I wish there was something I could do - if anything, let me know. I wish you strength and patience.

GhostMalone Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 On a lighter note? Just hoping for some feedback on the blending concept, utilising 40k sonic weapons with kakophoni attempting to get a blend of predecessor and future evolution of the noise marine. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/B67A155B-1EC4-4DEF-90DD-60F67553D387_zpszqjrubsz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Roxtar Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Im sort of back in the loop, woefully behind and not sure how to catch up. So i have yet to finish anything so this months vow will be a doozy. Death watch Captain Deathwatch Librarian Deathwatch Dreadnought and for this Month, hell make it a Valkyrie too . What have i done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyroclast91 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I finally decided what to do for the month of December Im building and painting a 10 man vet tac squad which I changed up from my original list slightly mainly because I don't have the originally planned volkite chargers. Also I decided a missile launcher worth flak and a heavy bolter would give me a little more flexibility with all the upgrades the vets sit at 300 pts even and if I get them done they might just get an 85 pt rhino but that's to be seen. oooh ya I'm also slowly starting to clean and prep this fella for his turn under the brush I was tempted to change the model but the only thing I can think of changing would be to have him actually holding his pistol but I think the best way to do that would be cut the pistol off just in front of the cylinder and build a new barrel. Since most of his pistol is holster on the model. But then how best to put it in his hand? Heat it and re shape it? I'm not sure I'm up to fully sculpting a decent looking hand any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 So I am a little curious if people (mostly you oh overlord Psycho) would mind if I changed this months vow. Things have got difficult and at this stage I am unsure how long till I can get the paints I need and so am unsure if I can get the Librarians done until after this month. I will know closer to the end of the month but if it comes down to it could I possibly swap? Just don't wan't to fail a second month over the same thing...

Augustus b'Raass Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 @ Brother SP: why not? It's your hobby challenge to finish around 250 points per month... how you fill that in is entirely your prerogative. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Brother SP: Sure, why not? Just let me know what it is you're swapping it with. Pyro:Huh, it's possible that you'll be able to reshape the flamer hand, but honestly, I wouldn't, as having two weapons on one arm always tends to look a bit odd. 'Course, that's just my opinion, so if you don't have any issues in that regard,go for it. :) Kurama, those are some sexy Kakophoni man. Keep it up! And Obscura, mate... I don't quite know what to say. My condolences for your loss. Certainly, if you need to take some time off from the Tale, go ahead and do so. It won't be the end of the world, and the B&C will still be here when you come back. :) Anyways, right now I'm on the way to the airport to get on a plane and leave this city before it's too damn late. ;) Nah, but I will be gone a week to visit family down in Arizona with somwwhat sporadic Internet access, so while I will attempt to update as frequently as possible, I cannot guarantee it. Take care everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ahhh... got in 120 minutes of blissful brushwork by tidying up the blacks on the vet squads capes and trim, painting their pouches brown and then hitting the whole squad with reikland flesh... it's amazing what that can do for the soul. Everyone's progress is inspiring and I hope to add to it with bloody pics soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Nice job Kurama, they look spot on. Lionofjudah, looks like Christmas came early. I will have my December vow up by the weekend, it's looking like TWC and a WP at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 @ Psycho: I saw on post two that there was no link to the WIP of my Librarian in the November vow. For your perusal, it's here :) :tu: I built my first ever Assault Marines today. Without running legs. I have regrets. Pictures tomorrow. I hope you guys can give me some pointers. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Rocked out the greens for lenses (3colors) and grenades, dry brushed the browns with a tan to pop the lines a lil/washed with agrax and hit the beacon lights on the recon backpacks with 3 layers of blue.

Rangaman Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I am constantly impressed by the quality and quantity of everyone's work! Tiny bit late but here is my December pledge, complete the Cerastus-Lancer and paint the Acheron chassis/base. With the time off over Xmas I will most likely get the Castigator done aswell, but I will hold off on pledging him until I am certain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Obscura - I'm really sorry to hear about that. :( Hobbywise it's taken a back burner as I can't sit for long without the back flaring up. I'm only managing shorter hours in work sat down so avoided even attempting to sit and paint. Think I'm going to use my bye month for December. Then it'll be pedal to the metal for the rest of the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 WIP Pictures of all my December models: Vexillarius - Aldrik Zol'tara - Trysanna (with fluff) This is quite an involved kitbash. It has a black templar torso, a templar brethren head, the vexilla from the recent limited edition ultramarine store vexillarius, and MkIII legs from the BoP box. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Assault20Squad20XIII20Vexilla20WIP_zpsmx7ls9jp.jpg Weapon Specialist (Flamer) - Garic Westrat - Biohazard http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Assault20Squad20XIII20Flamer20I20WIP_zpsnwbm9fyy.jpg Weapon Specialist (Eviscarator) - Hannes Kirchberg - Lord Thorn http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Assault20Squad20XIII20Eviscerator20I20WIP_zpsf6zhwn1c.jpg Brother - Rainad Folker - kizzdougs http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Assault20Squad20XIII20Brother20I20WIP_zpsoqcczwv4.jpg Battle Brother - NEEDS A NAME http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Assault20Squad20XIII20Brother20II20WIP_zpsmhn4ostn.jpg Incidentally, there´s two more battle brothers in the other five man assault squad that need names. So if any of you have suggestions, I´m open to them! And then finally, there's my Leviathan. I've had this bugger since it came out, and couldn't decide whether to do him in Imperial Fists or Iron Warriors colours. But since I already painted my dreadnought drop pod in Imperial Fists colours and he needs one of those to be effective, I finally decided to get him that. Since then, I also bought him a Cyclonic Melta lance - which is an awesome weapon! Duuuuude! Mind you, btw, the red is just the colour fo the putty I used. It's not going to be any different than my standard bases.http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/Leviathan_zpsxbt1mr1w.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Looking good there Augustus! Can't say the assault marines are my thing, but the leviathan is looking badass. The pose really works. Lil bit of progress on the librarian. Went through quite a few stages on the Shades he's summoning. this is the latest mock up - a mixture of bone and blood. How do you think it is? Works? Otherwise I might and try to go more for the bare muscle angle on them, or just give up and make them blue or green. Face is almost done, need to add some veins in the forhead. Botched the eyes a bit, so a bit of tidying up is in order but I'm reasonably happy with how it looks. Suitably pale and haunted. http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w376/Aeternas/20161209_075618_zpshudrjkol.jpg?1481294567901&1481294570848&1481294598638http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w376/Aeternas/15416068_1306626902730591_561823093_n_zpsdnyy9uaq.jpg?1481294567901&1481294570848&1481294598638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
