Ahoy, ye fellow Dakkanauts.

Though it might take ages, I'm slowly getting my Ashen Gods to playable condition. Decided to try NMM out of the blue, thus far reasonably happy with the results.

Here's Iudex Ultionis with his little helpers, ready to march next weekend.

They look great. Hint to other viewers - click on the pic & zoom in!
Love the little space marines on the bases! Great shading, highlightling & weathering!

Love the lightning claws, and the weathering! Awesome all over.

Awesome Stuff!!!

Thank you all! This has been a blast of a project. So here's more!

These blighters took me five sessions to paint, but finally they are done sans some small details like scroll work, which will get filled with something appropriate as they earn it on the battle field. The water effect is also under construction and will get bigger, I just couldn't wait any longer to take photos

Joining the Warlord Iudex Ultionis, Judge of Vengeance, from earlier, are:

Edax Rerum, Devourer of All like time itself.
Occisor Spesi, the unescapable Murderer of Hope.
Echo Dolorum, the Echo of Sorrows that rings over the land.
Cineres Immensi, the Vast Ashes are all that remain from those who dared to oppose their doom.

Very nice work, I especially like the hound taking a dip in the drink, very cool!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks

Great work. I like the basing and the splashing liquid in particular!

Nice oldschool Imperial guard minis! I remember those, when they could have bikes and jump packs!

Paintjobs on the titans look great.

Excellent Titan Legion!

Love the subdued colors!

Very cohesive force!

Thank you all for commenting, much appreciated

Oh yeah, just four sessions and this cute little murder-machine is done!

Ruina Superborum, Fall of the Haughty, joins its kin at the front, ready to RIP AND TEAR! I didn't bother magnetizing the arms, as one just has to have at least one dedicated double fister in the force. Carapace weapon is swappable, though, if one would like to run something else than the one-shot wonder of overcompensation that is the Warp Missile there. Like the turbolasers, pretending like it's almost capable of shooting something.

Very cool

Hahaa! Finally got some more painting done, as Aurora Terribilis marches to war. No more falling over mid-battle for you, mr. I-can't-be-glued-until-subassemblies-are-painted!

The carapace looks a bit weird as it got done the way it is after I managed to glue a magnet in the hole wrong way up and couldn't get it off anymore, but I like having bit of variation in the force (though it should be pretty obvious that missile pod is not really meant for this engine, I just painted it at the same time ).

Repent, for tomorrow you die!





Memento Mori walks, crushing the fighting spirit of all those foolish enough to stand against the Ashen Gods as they gaze upon a reminder of their own mortality and weep. This poor fellow here has already dropped their gun, what teeth has a piece of junk against the doom of Man?
















27 hours it took and the base might require yet some fiddling, but my original GME preordered when the game launched is finally DONE! Yeah! Took only one and a half years, but still.

Wow - fantastic legio - that nmm looks great. All good motivation for when my Titanicus box turns up!

Cheers! Will it turn up in your BatRep series one day, we might hope?

The weathering across all the models is exceptionally good!
I really like all the checkers and stripes on the armor pads.

The glow effect on the latest addition is ace.

Good work and well worth the effort!

Thanks!

I think I might take this warmer glow on for future engines too, it feels nice to have a brighter spot of colour in the midst of all that dark as contrast. More checkers too, as my freehand develops.

"What wars must there be in creation that require weapons such as these...?"

From the flags to the purity seals to the piping to the paintwork, every inch of this thing is truly spectacular! Great job!

Thanks for the praise, posermcbogus!

Today was an arm day, finally got my plasmas and fists done (and spent an inordinate amount of time just posing them around making "swoosh" sounds, khem). Now to make more carapace guns and I might even have decent midfield Lords in use soon.

















As ever, enjoy

Beautiful work, rare that a thread is a joy to read through for every model. Some great ideas that I might try take forward to my 40K knights as well. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Thousandeyes!

On the subject of knights, finished a bunch of Acastii I built last year, well, except for the still drying chemical pool which will be a lot greener in a few days. Now if they'd just get on with the nerfs so I could actually field these chonky bois without feeling like a bad man


As a whole, somewhat rushed job of maybe ~12 hours in total, but looking the part on the battlefield.

Boom! Speedpainting challenge for myself to basically get an engine done in a day.







Damnatio Memoriae is ready to walk and burn some worlds! As the name gives away, this engine is called to war when no trace of civilization is to remain, sweeping the pages of history clean with atomic fire.







I had a lot of fun incorporating this idea into its heraldry:





Also, since Fajita Fan brought up Fureans some time ago, I was inspired to try some yellow:







...Never again, yellow is just horrible to paint

Contempt for the World walks!

The first Warbringer joins the Ashen Gods, bringing us up to ten painted engines. Put a few guys on the deck, tried out some more damages on the metals and freehanded some stripes.

Besides some little fixes on the base later on, like the name, this fella is done.


Aetheris-Anathema, a horror born in the cold cradle of the void between lightless stars, walks.





















After painting brown all day long, this was a refreshing change. I do love me some purple.
