Stained glass is done.
MoTF is progressing slowly but steadily. It's kind of uninspired I'm afraid, but should be painted to a decent standard. We'll see if I can put another hour in on it tonight.

That MotF is awesome. I'm confused by him running through the wall, but the whole thing looks cool. Is he equipped with a teleporter?

No, he was moving across the wall to his right, then was startled by something to his left & is shifting position. Here's tonight's progress... I'm all in. There's still a lot of red on him that will disappear in a hurry once I get to the cables and such, just don't want to do them till last as it's what I handle him by.

Hey Gits, i like how everything is turning out, the motf is looking nice. I can see what you are saying about the red, but the metallics and other detailing will break it up nicely.
Don't forget the objective marker that you still have to do though.
Atleast it will give you a mental break from the motf red-ness, if you need it.
And with Adepticon looming. GOOD LUCK, may the Emperor guide your hands and keep you from the curse of bad dice.
And good luck to the other Wardens, we look forward to hearing your war-stories.

on the top of one of the clamps (left in pic) there is a screw thing... I think it looks a little out of place. your descision though. THE MODEL IS GREAT! I painted the torso and legs of my hunter-captain for my Mantis Warriors (I nead a name he's counts as Shrike) will get ics up ASAP (I also made his command squad) and Dantay, if I am not mistaken you need THREE objective pieces for adepticon

That "screw bit" is part of the clamp, it's the bit that lets the jaws open wider I believe.
But he's looking good Gits, I like what you did with the stained glass, I may have to pinch that idea. Was it just done witht he GW washes?

That stained glass is amazing Gits, and if it really bothers you just know that as inspired as that wall is, none but the most insulting people would comment on the MoTF being "uninspired" (who could say such a thing at all?!). Great model and I can't wait to see how you bring it all together.

Hey guys. Sorry I've been so quiet. Had kind of a re-lapse on Wed & have be flat on my back since then. Solar's here how playing nurse maid (poor sod). Right now my trip to Adepticon is hanging on what my doctor says later today, but will try to do a quick finish job on my MoTF this morning so the army can go even if I cant.
If anyone there has no commitments for Saturday you might try and fine Ice Angel or Solar_lion (no idea how you'd do this) in case they're a man down. Hopefully not, but you never know. I don't want to see the team go down after all the work we put in, just because I got sick

I really hope you can make it. The whole experience would be lessoned without gaming with Git. But if Git is unable to attend and someone can fill his last spot shoot me a pm in dakka and we will work out the details. The wardens will sadly still continue without our captain if needed.
