Monthly Vow 12th Of April To The 12th Of May

 It's the 16th today so rather late for the monthly Vow post. I did actually reach my goal this month, and a bit more. 

So for this month I'm planning on getting a bit more of the Björn chaos conversions done as well as both boxes of the Inner Circle. I'm thinking of doing another Ezikael Primaris with one of those that come in the box and fingers crossed the metal version is still available, and maybe box of inner circle to make the squad up to 6 and have the standard, Ezikael and perhaps make one into a Celebrants captain, as I'd like to push myself on that. I just need to find the contrast paints and orange wash. There is a thought to buy the Forge World Dark Angels Terminator stuff, which is a buying plan for May when my last bill goes out before the next payday and I know how much liquid cash I have left, I am also looking sideways at a new ps5 as I think that's close but there is a household repair that needs to be done first.

I'll finish this off later. 

A Break From Power Armour

One of the Facebook groups I'm in has a monthly painting challenge 

And this month the challenge is to paint something at sea .

I dug out the old one shot box of Dread Fleet from Game's Workshop so I didn't have to buy anything.

I got the 2 Dwarf ships done, one chaos dwarf and one a traditional dwarf hold but at sea .

Before I started my entry, I made the cliffs on the castle more white and the castle more grey,

Before going over the hull with w coats of Riekland flesh wash 

The sails got a base coat of Thousand Sons blue before I put on my experienced painter face and went a blending, mixing temple guard blue with thousand sons blue to get the graduation on the sails,before adding a tiny bit of white for a highlight.

 I gave the masts and deck a layer of wraith bone and the both dragons got the same blue process as the sails.

I'll let you know how I do in the contest after Easter.

Thunder Hammers And Asmodai

 I finished the hammer and shield Terminators on Monday and got the photos on Tuesday with the Spartan transport and the Screaming Killer.

 

Asmodai is just waiting for the base to be finished, then he and Azreal can go in the Terminators box. 

Had a day off yesterday and got a little bit done on these guys. An ushabati bone base coat and a nuln oil wash on the Terminators and a Serpihim sepia wash on Asmodai.

The split shield had a couple of washes of Greenshade and a watered down templar black coat and a later wash with nuln oil. 

The robe on the captain will get 3 layers of Greenshade tomorrow and the armour will get an ushabati bone screaming skull dry brush. 

Asmodai robes will get the same treatment, the armour is planned to be black with green highlights. 

3 More Terminators

 My work rota has changed drastically, with now an hour long commute at least. Serious thought is being given to switching jobs again.

I've managed to get all 3 of the Terminators built this week but not had the time to even paint a base coat. I'm off tomorrow so hopefully I can get some paint on these. 

It's An Older Mini Sir, But It Checks Out

 The captain arrived in the post and I made a start on it when I got home yesterday, cutting the slotta tab off the feet and trying to fit it to a 40mm base. I ended up adding some green stuff to the feet so it stood upright. 

The Thunder Hammer arm had arrived a couple of days before and was green stuffed on to the body. 

The storm shield is from the Deathwing Knights sprue as you get 6 in the kit. 

I'm planning on getting the plastic Terminator together tonight. 

Stuff Done Yesterday

 I finished the ATV off yesterday, and packed up the 2nd Company and took the box upstairs.

I was out t'shed 

Priming the Inner Circle Companions, both boxes and the Tauros that I'm not sure if I want to try it as an Invader ATV proxy...

I also primed Asmodai and The Light of Eltharion.

I was very impressed with how the Asmodai goes together, it's very well done. 

If you missed the post yesterday I've got these 3 on the way to make the close Assault squad up to 10, which ever head I don't use on Asmodai I'll be using on the plastic mini.
