Sorry for appearing dense, but are there galleries for previous vows?

I only started doing it around october, and only managed a couple of months. Check back in the previous months threads on the first page of this one.

Well, here my progress for the vow this far:

Falcon: with swappele magnet weapons :) , I'm pretty happy with this one, IRL it really jumps into the eye







and my first test banshee, pretty standard scheme, but as it are the colours of my craftworld but yust the opposide, I don't think thats a bad thing  :)




What Do you guys Think? and how far are your vows coming?

Update from me. Progress is mixed, some things are taking longer than expected or being awkward but it the force is progressing. Got a few piccies as well.

As I said this vow is just to refresh my army and bring it back up to scratch. The first 500pts includes a Raider Squad, Warrior Squad, Wyches and a Dracon.

First, the Raider squad. Here's an example of what my warriors looked like before:


And an updated Syberite:

What has been done? Well, rebased for a start. They now fit in much better with my home board and also look like a unit. The previous bases were very patchy and tbh just in general bad condition. The skin tones have been redone, as has the Trophy Rack. Apart from that I've added in eyes in Camo Green and the compression chambers have also been painted camo green with the white added to help give the feeling of glass. They might reviece a spot of varnish at some point.

As part of the Raider Squad the Raider has been updated.It now sits on a base properly. And speaking of bases, I got tired of transparent flying bases so decided to model them. Here's the one for the Raider Squad.


And now a quick pick of the whole squad:


Wyches before:


Wyches after:




5 coats of pallid flesh. Mental note: Base wyches white first. So yeah, they took a while but I am very happy with the results.

Whats left to do? The Wyches Raider is currently a WIP, although its gone to the naughty model time out box because it wasn't going right. I will return to it in a while and tackle it with a fresh mind. Here's a quick WIP shot of it however:


Apart from that, I've just started 10 more warriors and then it will be just my lord left to do.

Got one done, just need to finish the wraiths.







Not too big a fan on the back of the cape, however, it's honestly the best I can do, damn unsteady hands of mine and I never fully realized how chuncky the shield is.
