ETL VII +++Age of Darkness Loyalist Outpost (AoD-L)+++

[Captain Semper]

Yeah, listen to Fortis (fantastic yellow btw)! 

 

You cannot afford to relax the pace - you're doing a fantastic job so far but Week 7 was kind of slacking. 

 

Remember that combined with AoD-T you have pledged similar number of points to Chaos... So this is the ultimate completion rate game now. ;)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[StruManChu]

No pics, but transfers and edge highlights are just about done on my big fat mob of infantry. Almost ready for weathering. My goodness this is a hard slog. 

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

Keep up the great work Stru! Looking forward to seeing the results

[Semper Fortis]

Like Altis, I'm looking forward to seeing them, Stru. My hat's off to you for doing massed infantry. I'd lose what's left of my mind if I tried to do that many all at once. :lol:

[Viridia]

Finally updated the starting pic of my second vow, apologies, work is a bore and I got distracted with efforts on a truescale model!

[lionofjudah]

Back from vacay... it was 105 here while I was at the beach where it was 99... it rained and is now 78 here... I love KY weather.

Anyhoo... painting update- going for the mottled undercoat for the clear red and flat yellow oversprays

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

That looks amazing there brother, I'm in awe of your work!

[Phatsquirre1]

Took way too long, but here's my second vow complete!

 

 

 

 

 

[Henimann]

Been taking a little longer than I thought this would - midterms for my graduate school classes last week kept me from finishing my painting then. All models are now completed as far as painting goes, just need to finish basing and my first vow will be complete!

And a small preview of what MIGHT be a part of my second vow...

[Semper Fortis]

That's what I'm talking about! We're rolling!

 

Since last week's cut off:

 

Stru is still faithfully slogging through infantry, Viridia's back from the true scale detour. Lionofjudah is rockin' his mountain of metal. Henimann is soooooo close to a completion and hints at another vow. Going to make it by this week's cutoff, brother? And Phatsquirre1 rang the bell with his handsome second completion!

 

Let's hear from the rest of ya'll! Week 8 is ending soon. Clock's tickin'.

 

Me? I'm going to give it my very best to finish this last Leviathan before the deadline and get a third vow on record... back to work...

Right on frater!!!

Completions and progress!!

Throwing out a pic of my next vow

[StruManChu]

@lion - I see Dorn, Typhon, a Deredeo, and a LOAD of capes. I'm intrigued!

 

Quick update from me (at 1am GMT on a work night, because I love you all as much as I apparently hate myself), gloss varnish is done, so weathering starts tomorrow. I'm almost loathe to do it because everything looks so neat and tidy as it is, but I know I must!

 

Going mad looking forward to vow 2 at this point, just for something different. @Captain Semper, I'll be sending you a PM in the next day or two to pick your brain, as I've got some older in-progress stuff that I'd like to include if I can.

Yessir- Dorn will be my first primer here... and he won’t be gold;)

Typhon is going to get cup up and made into someone cool... maybe Raan

The capes are all the primaris dudes... they all come with capes... and goofy looking packs that are gone for mkiv and mkvi packs

The deredero has a pair of sentinel legs next to him for the chicken leg conversion

Aaaaannnmnddddd the Culln leviathan is getting pertabos knight base, a BT mkiv head and some IF brass etch goodies to replace the silly scorpions;)- I’ve wanted to do another leviathan for awhile and the fact FW has redone the DDP molds means the doors aren’t gonna break in a new pod and they are so much smaller than a knight to transport;)

 

Stru.... WEATHER!!!!!!! I know the trepidation greatly and honor your dedication to making your doods cooler and moar realistic:):)

[Captain Semper]

@ Phatsquirre: Excellent completion man - I particularly like the aircraft with the oil stains on the wings! :tu: The first second-vow to be completed for the AoD-L too!

 

@ Henniman: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE TITANS YOU PEOPLE! :LOL: I'm not marking your vow as complete yet, correct? Great job man, I sure look fwd to the next one though...

 

@ Lionofjudah: This is coming along very nicely indeed! Gryphonycus I take it? Man, when this get done, it'll be super-awesome!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Henimann]

@CaptainSemper: yup, should have it completed by tonight? Just waiting for bases to dry.

 

@Phatsquirre1: Your Medusa looks amazing. Any chance you can tell me what paints you use? Might have to lift that scheme for my 40kGuard army once I'm done with my current 30k binge.

[Phatsquirre1]

Sure man, I use Vallejo Basalt Grey and German Fieldgrey WWII over a Neutral Grey Primer for my Guard/Auxilia. 

[Henimann]

At long last, my first vow is complete!

Going to hold off on making my second vow for a couple weeks...wrapping up my summer session for graduate school so not sure if I will be able to devote alot of time to the hobby. After that, though - I'll be delivering something big, maybe TITANIC even....

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Hey Capn... I’m brownscaling her to white before a clear red for Ignatum... hope it turns out;)

I’ll also be taking a few panels to yellow and then taping off for the black stripes.

I’m trying several new techniques out and using some of IA masterclass 2’s reaver painting.

I’m contemplating the hip joints and want to figure out what kind of stressors would be involved there as they are obviously not a ball and socket joint but are a rotational hinge.... the right thigh armor plate is a 3d printed replacement and I may primer that as a battleside replacement(what color is adamant it?;)

The pistons on the warhound are so short I may only get 1 or 2 compression rings on them.

[Semper Fortis]

Way to go, Henimann!!! I love the look of your Sallies. Much more subdued and battle weary green than the usual. Nicely done!

[TheStatusJoe]

Nearly done with my 2nd vow. I would give you updates, but my desk is such a wreck I have finished models stacked in every nook and cranny. I've also been scrap hammering a 3rd vow together from 40k lots and salvage from Ebay. Oh, and I painted with contrast paints for the first time. Dont waste your money.

[Captain Semper]

@ lionofjudah: Ignatum! :woot: do those stripes man, do those stripes!!!

 

@ Congratulations man, a solid completion there! And a Titanic promise? Oh boy, this is getting out of hand! :lol:

 

@ TheStatusJoe: Talking of things getting out of hand, don't you think you should have vowed for the Traitors? I mean this kind of production suggests daemonic aid! I'll have the (as yet non-existent) Inquisition look into it! Congratulations man this is very impressive stuff and you are a good candidate on becoming the ETL VII Martyr! 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Captain Semper]

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

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

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Semper Fortis]

Ah nuts. Didn't make the cutoff. I should have gotten up another hour earlier. :(

Anyway...Vow 2 is complete. Will post the next vow later today.

[Semper Fortis]

I, Semper Fortis, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Age of Darkness - Loyalists and vow to complete a Solar Auxilia Baneblade with twin sponsons x2, command tank, and tank commander of total value 715 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. May the Emperor strengthen me.

For Dorn and for the Emperor!
