Sabadin Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Having gotten some hands on time with contrast paints today, I'll be sorting out a vow to make later tonight or tomorrow. Will be very achievable without interfering with my Everchosen entry. Captain Semper and Spacecow 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecow Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Nice. How are they? Captain Semper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Much better than I expected, the videos posted , especially GW's, really don't do them justice. For the most part right out of the pot works really well, working with flatter areas it's still better to use a palette to avoid overloading your brush, between that and slight tweak to brush strokes you can really minimize or eliminate brushstroke marks or pooling. I can honestly see myself completing full units using contrast almost as fast as individual models with the standard method.

Spacecow Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 That’s good to hear. I’m intrigued by the apothecary white. So might pick one up when I get the chance. Was a bit taken aback by the prize so probably just gonna get a couple initially and see how they are.  I also just got a range of scale75 paints. So can’t mentally justify buying more paints :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 That’s good to hear. I’m intrigued by the apothecary white... It was one of the paints I went out of the way to test. I was very impressed with it, for the most part for nids you can slap these on out of the pot and get great result. For power armour armies, or carapaces on our monstrous creatures though, using it straight out if the pot and moving it around like a wash won't give the best results. The advice I was given for those is use a palette to properly load the brush, then apply it like wood stain. This gave excellent results which can then be improved upon with traditional techniques as needed. Captain Semper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecow Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Thanks. One day I’ll get my grubby little hands on them :) Captain Semper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 You can really beat, not only the Orks, but any of the Xenos! The contrast colours would to wonders for the horde armies (not that Orks are not also benefitted - but c'mon!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) I , Sabadin, rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux VII and vow the following biomass for the Hive Mind 1 unit of 16 Genestealers with 4x Acid Maw 1 unit of 20 Genestealers For a total amount of 432 points to be completed by September 1st, 2019.

oldschoolsavant Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Another answers the call of the True Emperor ! Praise be Sabadin !   Had a fairly productive Sunday, cracked on with a lot:  http://i.imgur.com/pCIsbkz.jpg  My Magus and Locus bodyguards. Aside from a few touch-ups, they're pretty much done.  http://i.imgur.com/LDHLlnF.jpg  Nexos and his little holo-table.  http://i.imgur.com/UCUUq0s.jpg  2nd Sanctus and Kellermorph (no hat included)  That'll leave me with these guys to fit in amongst backshift next week:  http://i.imgur.com/xM46SfE.jpg  .....and then crack on with the two squads into a long weekend off. Things are going well for now \\o// (4 arms lol) Spacecow, Rogue and brother_b 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 OSS is doing a brilliant job!  Also welcome on board Sabadin, your vow is registered. Just a quick note (and feel free to correct me you bug-people if I got this wrong) but I think the Genestealers come in units of 5-10. If that is the case Sabadin's vow may need some re-arrangement - but I don't believe it will affect the points' total.  UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Rogue Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Genestealers come in squads of 5-20 for both Tyranids and Cults. Â But the vow would be worth 540 points if they were cult 'stealers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecow Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Rogue is right. It’s 15 per purestrain genestealer. Cough 10 (11 ) as normal genestealer. ( without extended carapaces n stuff) Edited June 11, 2019 by Spacecow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 OK, I stand corrected! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Well, 15 for a cult 'stealer, or 12 for a tyranid one (base 10, but then 2 for the rending claws that come stock, so 12 total). Â /pedant Spacecow 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsavant Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Well, currently stuck in work on standby, but there's not many jobs you can build purestrains while getting paid, so......silver linings and all that. Â Cracked on into the late night, and Vow 1 50% complete, now with better pictures: Â http://i.imgur.com/YgXuX0s.jpg Magus and Locus bodyguard. http://i.imgur.com/goMzTIe.jpg Sanctimonious Sanctus. http://i.imgur.com/AuDZgT9.jpg Primus, Locus and Kellermorph. http://i.imgur.com/Pjbug3S.jpg The gang all together. Â Hopefully finish basecoating and washing those squads tonight. RolandTHTG, Filkarion and Captain Semper 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 They look great OOS - you really have found your pace! A very stinking colour combo, and very well executed! :tu: Â Now let's hope this will inspire more Tyranids/Cults people to join your cause, things are looking up!

oldschoolsavant Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well, hopefully we'll see some more WiP (hint, hint guys) as these first vows progress, and it's certainly not my first rodeo. Experience has taught me to not burn out too early, and I've a very loose idea of a schedule. HQ, heavy support, and then whatever's left in terms of mobs for the final three vows over six weeks at a minimum. Not having the pressure of vowing for the big two certainly helps. Â http://i.imgur.com/LWgLqRr.jpg Hammering out the final blocking on the hybrid squads tonight, and a weekend off to highlight. Won't make the Friday cutoff, but Vow 2 early next week I reckon (if RL plays nicely). Captain Semper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Vow one is complete - all 55 points of clamavus. Here it is: Â Â There's going to be a second, Russ-shaped vow coming up, but I'm still putting it together at the moment. oldschoolsavant 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 @OOS: Hybrids looking good! Cut-off is later today... ;) Â @ Rogue: Congrats man - look fwd for the Russ! :D Â NOTE:Â Later today will be the cut-off of the second weekly update. If you want your vow/completion to be included, hurry up! Â UPDATED TO THIS POINT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsavant Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yeah, I'll settle for Monday. Â Absolute brainfart yesterday trying to find a good flesh tone for the Hybrids. Took me hours to work out that purple and fleshtone don't mix nicely, and I should've been mixing purple and grey all along. Â Ugh. Â Rogue, looking forward to the Russ.
