ETL VII +++Astra Militarum Outpost+++

[The Pounder]

WarriorFish, those are coming along nicely.

 

Brother Chaplain Kage, those Orlock vets look seriously cool!

 

Lord Blackwood, some really impressive stuff there.

 

Arkaniss, well done on the Guard completion!

 

I still have another 5 Krieg Infantry to paint, it’s been slow progress.

[WarriorFish]

Slow and surely wins the race Jud :tu:

[Captain Semper]

Excellent progress guys! 

 

Now the most important bit is to make sure your first vows are completed - let's see more of that! 

 

@ BCK: Congrats man - these worked out quite well no? Excellent basing too! 

 

@ Lord Blackwood: Great to see the ETL is a driver for gaming too! :woot:

 

You know your guardsmen are brave when they are charging demon princes 

 

Well, painted minis are braver than unpainted ones - everybody knows that! :lol:

 

WF and Arkaniss: You guys are next - I expect to see your vows done this week. ;)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Mordian Glory]

Its great to see a flurry of completions and near completions! Keep up the hard work Guardsmen :D

 

As for myself, I have completed the characters for my vow and now the only thing between me and glory is a single squad of metal mordians, who are currently enjoying a nice detol bath!

 

Im starting to plan on what I can do for my second vow...

[WarriorFish]

The dice gods favour the painted too :D Fear not Semper I'll get them done this week!

 

I'm wondering if I can somehow squeeze a second vow in as my time will be short, maybe there's a single model or two I can dig out...

[gilt_imp]

Vow Complete!

So pleased these guys are finally done. Individual units below.

 

 

 

 

Keep going guys, whatever flavour of Guard you are 

 

[Lord Blackwood]

Still Working 
Should be able to finish all the  volkite char-  Plasma gun Scions  by end of the week ,  and the Bullgryns by the weekend for sure 

[Captain Semper]

Congrats gilt_Imp - blue becomes you! :lol: 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[WarriorFish]

The blue and white together is fantastic, great work gilt they will own any table they're placed on

 

We'll definitely need some close ups Blackwood to properly show them off I will be attacking my vow again tonight all going well, finish them off if all goes well

[gilt_imp]

^Thank you!

I even used that new Contrast paint, Apothecary White, for the guns.  It didn’t work out how I thought it would, but after experimenting I’m glad I did.

[Ldorte]

Vow complete!

 

Not sure I'll have time for another one, but I do have 3 sentinels and a mortar team that need building...

 

[Lord Blackwood]

All three command squads are finished , I  should be able to get through the Ogryns tomorrow and finish up vow 3 

Bonus picture of the actual Squad 

[WarriorFish]

Great work, speed and quality!

 

Keep the updates coming comrades, next from me will be completion - probably Sunday now :tu:

[Arkaniss]

I started on the Sisters last night :)

It's a new scheme I had saved for a long time and only now got around to trying it. Hopefully it works out! They're a little dark but should look better once I get the Pallid Witch Flesh on them :tu:

[Colonel Bindoff]

Vow Complete!

So that's three chimeras, a leman russ, a baneblade, two squads and a lord commissar.

Individual shots:

Squad 1:

Squad 2:

Chimeras with Heavy Bolters:

Leman Russ and Autocannon Chimera:

And Baneblade:

Now to plan vow 2....

[Lord Blackwood]

Love your work Bindoff 



Bullgryns are done so that means vow 3 is completed. 

I Lord Blackwood rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Astra Militarum and vow to complete One Commissar Yarrick  1 infantry squad and 1 unit of crusaders numbering 10 crusaders  of total value 290 points on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end

[duz_]

Col Bindoff that is commendable work!

 

They look great! Now to start some crusades in the name of the Emperor! You'll definitely be blessed with many 6s with an army like that :tu:

 

Those bullgryns look menacing blackwood...

I ws scared to go to the AoD Outposts, now I'm afraid to go to the Guard... 

 

This is magnificent progress guys - really impressive stuff!!! Not only you're keeping the pace, not only you're making some chunky vows (what was that Gilt_Imp?), the quality is outstanding too! Bravo! 

 

Now be aware that the cut-off for the Week 7 update will be later today... 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[WarriorFish]

Agreed, excellent work and so much too. I felt bad enough for not having the time to finish my first vow yet! :lol:

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

I feel very underwhelmed with my dinky little vow. Great job, guys! Keep it up!

[Colonel Bindoff]

Right, so my second vow:

I, Colonel Bindoff, of the Hallamite regiments, hereby vow to complete two leman russ battle tanks with battle cannon, Lascannon and plasma sponsons to the value of 368 points. Failure to complete will doom me and my regiment etc etc.

Captain Semper; this photo gives away the fact that although this is the basecoat I have in fact applied a metallic primer and salt. Is this ok? I should have taken a photo at first stage. The commissar is not happy.

By way of penance I am also vowing to finish these five LRBTs which are sitting at various stages of completion. I have not included their points!

[The Pounder]

Guys, you've gone mad with some amazing vows complete (and being completed!!!)

 

I've finished my second vow only 61pts!!

 

Death Korps of Krieg 

 

Bindoff, Imp and Blackwood, fantastic efforts! Hopefully you'll make up for those of us who can only commit to smaller vows!

[Colonel Bindoff]

It’s not the size of the vow mate, it’s what you do with it.

 

Completion rate, and in your case making some awesome looking kriegers!

[Captain Semper]

+++THIS IS THE CUT-OFF POINT FOR THE SEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE+++

ALL VOWS AND COMPLETIONS AFTER THIS POINT WILL BE REGISTERED FOR THE EIGHTTH WEEKLY UPDATE

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!
