Brother Argent Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) So my knight may not get done for the year but this is my December vow (with three days left in the month) Okay so I have finally made progress. I give you the before shots: Kavaros Thorr of Zephaniah Adriyen's Scything Claw Yuan Xian of Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch's Dawn Blades Hebron Asariah of Berzul's Wings of Dawn Paen Deth of Smirnov's Shadow Lords Bases will be done after painting. Now to undercoat and paint as I have three days for the four and a knight. Something tells me I wont gt it all done. But no matter. I will focus on these four first obviously.

Brother Argent Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Just to quote this over here. I will only post the revised pics in the other thread though. So at first some crappy pics before I update them and fluff them out tomorrow: Kavaros Thorr of Zephaniah Adriyen's Scything Claw Yuan Xian of Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch's Dawn Blades Hebron Asariah of Berzul's Wings of Dawn Paen Deth of Smirnov's Shadow Lords Colours are off because of washed out colors. Will do better tomorrow. Happy new year all...

Grotsmasha Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Time for an update on my pledge for 2019 I've also decided to pledge a unit to work on all year, I've had this piece of twisted and warped doo doo for 5 years.... I, Grotsmasha , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the year of 2019 pledge to gap-fill, paint, and base 1x Dark Angels Legion Caestus Assault Ram by year's end. .... and this is what it looks like now.... yeah, I haven't touched it.... So last night, with no plans for the Evening, I decided :cuss it, and got cracking on with painting it anyway, gaps and all. I'm ~75% done.

Grotsmasha Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 This post was recognized by Brother Tyler! Grotsmasha was awarded the badge '12 Months of Hobby 2019 Completed' So the model was sitting there, finished and then I had a stupid idea I couldn't not do, so I decided to *try* heat discolouration on the metal parts of the Caestus. It didn't turn out awesome, but then I'm not a Pro PainterTM. I'm please with the result (mostly) and may attempt to even the result out a bit better in the future, but for now, I'm leaving it. And with that, my 2019 is done. 12 successful months of Hobbying, and my Plodding Along pledge completed too.

Azaiel Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Argh! How much time do I have to finish my mini? Being a bit hungover and trying to paint a mini that has been fighting me all the way is making progress a bit slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a bit hungover and trying to paint a mini that has been fighting me all the way is making progress a bit slow. You've got all of the 2nd, I'll be wrapping up sometime on my 3rd, about 36hrs or so from now :tu: Azaiel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Grotsmasha, congrats on the Caestus, so after 364 of days of no activity on your yearlong project you suddenly spring this on us on the last day! Good for you. The heat distortions look good to me, maybe a little heavy in places but who knows how many maneuvers it has been on since its last overhaul. Jolemai, congrats on the knight and the custom crated symbols on him.

Dosjetka Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 With only a few hours to spare, I declare my final vow for this year complete! Battle-Brother Mraz Mordent, Combat Squad Leader, 6th Reserve Company, Soul Takers Chapter 'Brother Mordent is seen here upon the surface of Vur, a planet situated in the far reaches of Segmentum Tempestus, leading a sweep to scout out the foe that eradicated the research base Mechanicus teams deep in the Vurian jungles of the southern continent. His raised hand seems to be some sort of battle-cant signal to the rest of his unit though its exact meaning remains unclear. This Space Marine was given command over four of his brethren and displayed great promise for a leadership position. His service amongst the lauded Legio, represented by the distinct pad he wears on his left shoulder, only helped to cement a bright future for the young Astartes. Mraz Mordent was KIA shortly after this pic-capture was taken, slain by an unknown Xeno bioform. His body, equipment, and geneseed remain unrecovered.'

Azaiel Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 This post was recognized by Grotsmasha! Azaiel was awarded the badge '12 Months of Hobby 2019 Completed' And my Ork Weirdboy is done, this mini fought me the whole way. Bits fell of, I dropped it twice, repainted some parts etc etc. It was also my first try with Hexwraith flame, the colour on the staff orb was a happy accident. I had some watered down white that I slapped on the black undercoat that resulted in the black patchiness(?). The red piece on the base is a tiny mushroom from the squig herd box. Please excuse the bad pics, there is no sunlight to speak of here. Dr_Ruminahui, Rogue, Grotsmasha and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
