Oath Complete and more

 I didn't do any WIP pictures of these really. I was also really lazy and did most of these within the last week.

 Not much effort behind these. I really just wanted to finish, since they are the last of my Ariadna minis, and I'll probably revisit them later.

 Colors are all over the place. I was going for a dual purpose in case of different marks of chaos, and sort of piecemeal armor look, but it just looks jumbled.

 I tried to do a little glow on the orby bit of this guy's pistol. Didn't turn out too well.

 This glowy bit turned out better.

 And here is all my Ariadna stuff. Done, unless I finish chopping together a couple Traktor Muls.

 Just over half done with my Haqqislam. Doctor, Sniper, and Yuan Yuans left to go.

 And about a third of the way done with my Aleph. Proxied and kitbashed from old I-Kore stuff mostly, I have a bunch of Devas and Devabots to go, mostly.

I'll probably do these for next month's oath. Maybe. Great quality counterfeit forgeworld stuff.

January Oath

5 Chosen, and 5 Ariadna dudes

Kaptain's Log - January: "There are... uh... more dan two lights!"

 Kaptain's Log - January: "There are... uh... more dan two lights!" 






Kurks slowly awoke to realize he was someplace bad. Very bad. His arms and legs were shackled to the metal table he was laying on, preventing escape. Various implements of torture lay on tables about him, the ichor from recent use still dripping off some. A spotlight above him prevented his sight from penetrating the darkness beyond it's reach, and only illuminated the horrors directly near him. Thoughts of escape were held by the sound of footsteps on metal steadily approaching him.

A Dark Eldar slid into the light with a malevolent grin while wiping clean a jagged blade. He gave the Kaptain a look over almost casually before giving equal scrutiny to the tools about him. "I am so sorry for this to have happened to you Kaptain. Most certainly a mistake in the paperwork somewhere I'd say. We'll have you out of here in no time, but I would like to take this opportunity to ask you a few questions. Let's start with something simple..."

The Eldar flicked a switch and a set of floodlights just outside the radius of the spotlight flared into existence. The glare filled his entire vision and his sight struggled to understand the brilliance set in front of him. The intensity of the lights was so much that he could feel the heat off them like a set of miniature suns. It fell to him like a whisper, but he was certain the Eldar was talking normally "...All you have to do is tell me how many lights there are."

Kurk tried to look down at his hands to help him count, but the blaring light and restraints prevented him from seeing them. Vainly, he tried to keep count in his head, only to constantly have the number slip from his fungus filled brain. He panicked and shouted the only answer he could: "Der are... more dan two lights!!!"


With time for the contest nearing it's end, I present to you all our last official skill challenge theme! We've had you try painting rust, NMM, weathering, and more. But this months category tends to provide depth and realism you take notice of. If you couldn't tell from the fluff bit above, this month we'll be doing lighting effects! Get your glow on with flames, lava, lights, magic, or those little pyro fairies you keep seeing. Try your best to show how a light source will reflect it's aura onto the model/base around it! Another challenging theme, but one you'll be thankful for once you master it.

Oath Complete!

All done. The Infinity guys could be a little better, the Terminator is rushed, and I'm not happy with the colors on the Dakkajet, but it is done.

 

 

Catching Up

Been working slowly on my oath, now its time to catch up...

Almost done!

Oath In Progress

 So I forgot to take a few pictures. But anyway, it is assembled and primed.

 This guy is assembled, primed, and started on with the Red Paint Job. I put one of those engines from the LearJet to good use already.

Last but not least, a start of some red on this guy too.

Assembly

 Somehow I do not own any rubber bands. Hair ties will have to do while the two halves dry.

 Meanwhile, I added some guns sticking out of the windows. They are getting primered over, so I don't care about the shitty, half-stripped paint.

 The bands come off and it is time to shave things down and add other outside bits.

 Chaos Terminator Champion lends a hand in keeping a flopping wing upright until the glue dries.

 Getting the pilot ready. Subtract sword, legs, and one arm, and he just might fit.

 Chop off his remaining arm at the wrist and re-position, and add a different arm for the other side, and he fits, after I hack out the center column.

 Big gun on top is magnetized, mainly so it can swivel, and the pilot is in place, with a sort of control stick in one hand.

Those guns on the front wouldn't stay put, so that location is just temporary.

Engine pod thingies wouldn't stay level, so I hacked them off to be used elsewhere, and stuck some new engines to the underside of the wings.
