I declare Vow #2 complete

 

2 units of Eliminators (115 points after the 20% deduction)

 

Sorry still no bases Captain Semper.  I have done 0 bases in my hobby career so far.  It is the next hurdle I need to tackle but am scared  

 

I modified my black/grey scheme....tempted to repaint the infiltrators now because I like this more

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

My eliminators are urban combat specialists

 

Cloaks have black exterior and eshin gray interior.  I washed with agrax earthshade

 

 

 

I also repainted my Wolf Lord in Phobos armor from Vow #1

 

The helmet was bugging me too much

 

Spoiler

 

 

Darkened the helmet to eshin gray with some lead belcher on the snout and jaw portion

 

I also updated his cloak to the new black/grey and agrax scheme

Vow #3

 

Wolf Guard Battle Leader with jump pack, power fist and storm shield - 97 pts

 

*EDIT*

Adding a 5 man basic GH squad as well - 65 pts

 

Total vow - 162 pts

 

 

 

I will also give Contrast Paints a test on this model

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

I realized I probably shouldn't make a special HQ the test model for my first ever contrast paint attempt.

 

Slapped together 5 GHs to experiment with first.  Hopefully this isn't a problem as the vow hasn't been registered yet

 

Spoiler

 

How many total vows are we allowed this year?

It's all coming together. I just got the Twins finished and will take a short break now, but will work on the other HQs later.

[Captain Semper]

Good progress Riku Eru - keep walking brother! 

 

 

 

How many total vows are we allowed this year?  

 

 

Congratulations for the completion T-X and good luck with the new vow. You have a 5 vows max limit - the same as in previous years. There is no points limit per vow but and overall limit of 20k points...

Good progress was made today 😁😁 real life has taken priority recently, but this weekend I have finished my aggressors and started work on my vehicles. Spartan and dread are undercoated and base coated, the land speeder needs a bit more building work, but it's close. Still got tomorrow and I took next Thursday and Friday off work to make sure it all gets done!
(I also had a couple of sneaky hours working on some bits on my Campervan 😁 productive day today).

How's everyone else getting on?

[Dantay VI]

Have to admit I am struggling a bit. Hiiting my paint fatigue limits...

 

Here is where I am at so far:

 

 

 

 

What colour to do his helmet??

 

 

 

 

First off, I tried out some contrast paints, it was a bit mixed.

 

I did snakebite leather on all he leather, I tried different browns, such as mournfang, xv-88, rhinox hide and dryad bark. I found it all looked really flat, so reapplied the brown and gave a drybrush of longbeard grey.

This really helped it to pop, but unless the browns are very different, the contrast is so strong it ended up making all the different browns look almost the same.

 

Red was a very similar issue

 

Black templar just turned everything black, even with the drybrush, so I had to drybrush over it again

[Yoyo ninja]

Mate, they are looking amazing. I think you could call them done and be proud of them.
I get what your saying though with fatigue, but your painting blog has always been an inspiration for the Rout. It's one last push to the end, keep you chin up brother.
