I need to figure out my Eldar, and get some practice in (I've only painted Harlequins in the last 5 years, all in August.)

So:

16 x Guardians (waiting for Hvy Wpn Platform with box)

Have to see if I can pull of a Green and Red theme without looking like Santa's Space Helpers Craftworld.

Well I have all 2k points worth of Tau Built. Took me about 10 days and my thumb is all cut to hell. So no more building or painting for a few days as I can't do either really well with a bandaid on....

How do you cut your thumb cutting out plastic?

Myung · « **Reply #44 on:** October 8, 2006, 02:41:34 AM »

It's easy. When trimming you hold the piece and you cut towards your thumb. Now this isn't hard, nor a hard cut but when you do it about 5,000 times while making sure your mold lines and iddy bits are clean well you eventaully wear down the skin there :p

34 Firewarriors, 5 battlesuits, 6 stealthsuits, 12 kroot, 20 something drones, 3 pirahanas, 2 devilfish and 2 hammerheads. well that is a lot of cleaning

All Righty Then! First time here so lets see...
* searching noise *

4 Necron Destroyers! It's sadly all I have model wise.

Being a Newbie sucks. Although I did get them for £19 off e-Bay

Vows updated.

We now have whopping 23 vows in, mostly eldar (*cough* new codex *cough*), which I believe is a record for this thread. 2 days left to vow.

I, however, am making so little progress that I have downgraded my vow to a haemonculus and 5 incubi. How long can it take to paint 5 guys decked head to toe in black armour? I'll do the raider squad if and when I finish my vowed minis.

Not to mention sales on the models that are being redone.

Anyways, I've built my Avengers, and starting priming, but ran out of spray paint. On the three that I finished priming, I got the body & helmets done. Started the tabards as well.

Okay, I'm geting cold feet, and the time to get cold feet is when there is still time to change your vow. I vow to get 3 Swooping Hawks done, and the Exarch, but not the Falcon (the more I do of that Falcon, the more afraid I am of doing something wrong).

Oooh i'll try this again! I vow to paint 15 Night Lords and one Dreadnaught. (maybe ill actualy get something done unlike the last two times i made vows

)

TheDean · « **Reply #50 on:** October 10, 2006, 02:12:09 PM »

just figured out that I will not be using my old reapers sooooo I should edit my vow while I still can, I will instead of my old vow paint 5 eldar guardians, 2 support platforms (with crew if I have time), and a warlock.

Necrontyrtitan · « **Reply #51 on:** October 10, 2006, 04:45:44 PM »

I'd like to vow to paint my Black Templar Command Squad...meant to do it last month, but moved out...still....got loads of time now!!!

Big Boss · « **Reply #52 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:54:19 PM »

Okay, so I started my Wardancers (finally) but all I did was prime them and start the first layer of flesh. Shame, but I should get more time in this week.

Harlean · « **Reply #53 on:** October 13, 2006, 03:36:25 PM »

vow finished

. I will maybe put some pics up later

Kitsune Tsuki · « **Reply #54 on:** October 13, 2006, 10:41:32 PM »

3 Avengers done, 4 more to go. I've decided to not put on the tabards after many battles with keeping them glued on.

Unfortunately, my spray paint died on me, so I need to go get more. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some spray paint, and if the weather warms up a little, I may be able to be done by the end of the week.

Big Tuff Cream Puff · « **Reply #55 on:** October 14, 2006, 11:27:59 AM »

Lets see. So far I've nearly finished 2 Destroyers and I'm working on the 3rd! It's not the usual 'Spray Silver' Necrons though; Mine are slightly camp and have a preference for Purple!

Kitsune Tsuki · « **Reply #56 on:** October 14, 2006, 10:04:32 PM »

Pictures of my Avengers and my Seraph-

Avengers
Seraph

The seraph is the one on the rock. The picture is towards the bottom. The other seraph is from last month.

SeriousCallersOnly · « **Reply #58 on:** October 15, 2006, 06:53:14 AM »

Vows updated and locked.

So, 25 in this month, one completed so far (well done Chaplain Harlean).

I've finally managed to make a start on mine, done the helmets on the incubi and started on the haemonculous. I'll get more done today, as my kids are away. Might even get a game in (first game with the dark eldar, probably vs my bro's DH, first game at all in 3 months actually). Maybe post some wips later.

Hellboy · « **Reply #59 on:** October 15, 2006, 07:57:38 AM »
