An "Evil?" project log. 6/21 Don't call it a comeback!

got this far before the wife kicked me out of the bedroom.(something about wanting to go to bed and my desk light keeping her up ) I'll put the spiky parts and accessories on in the morning, make the base, and prime him up! Really looking forward to getting some paint on it tomorrow afternoon!

Great colour scheme, purple and black would be my first choice for DE, but my collection already involves Space Marines with Liche Purple armour and silver trim, and Khemri Stone Craftworld Eldar with purple cloaks, so I figured I'd give the purple a break.

Glad I'm not the only person taking Mandrakes too!

Looking good! I like the way the wings on the board came out, very intimidating!

Got a couple of colors on to map out what I want to do:


Gems, ponytail, obligatory Hellion tribal design on board, and runes on evil cape will all be in teal. Should come around in the next 6 days...

I wish I thought of that for my Barons skyboard. That's what I get for being in a rush to have him done. T_T Looks awsome.

Got a little more done:




gotta admit, I'm not all that inspired with painting him right now. Should finish up the the purple in the morning. I'm hoping that painting the skin (I usually do this first) tomorrow after classes will motivate me to get him done by the deadline for the Archon's Challenge. Not sure what in the hell I'm going to do about the base...

That is a really good start!

And for lack of inspiration, I know exactly what you mean...

It looks awesome! And i know what you mean about motivation as well, I didn't start mine until last night and forgot that I was going to be out with my wife all day tomorrow. I'll be lucky if mine is submitted base coated

Wow.

Just wow!

Closer...
Pretty much done with the shading. Meeting a friend today for a beer, but with the wife gone for the evening I'll have time to wrap the Baron up tonight. I think that getting the tribal pattern on his board will really spark the motivation. That, and I really need to get this entry done
(edit) Wow, gotta back off the light. Can't see any shading in this picture!

Almost....

SICK! I wish my paint job came out 1/100th as nice! I really botched mine up, haha.

Looking really good. I particularly like the board.

thanks guys!
He's done!








I still need to hit him with a spray of Dull Cote in the morning, but aside from that I am finished(finally!) for the first round of the Archon's Challenge.

Very... very... cool mate. Excellent paint scheme and design too

Just awesome.
The best interpretation of the Baron I've seen so far (I know the idea of the build wasn't yours, but the paintjob and base etc make it the best I've seen).

Great job!

stunning work on that mate, especially like the patterning on the board and cloak, most impressive!

^Thanks guys!^ I really struggled with that model. Spent the whole time painting it trying to figure out what in the Hell I was doing

Getting the Baron done did motivate me to work on something a little different. I need to paint a Wyche and a Coven Raider, 2 Grotesques, and my Archon to finish my 1750 tournament list. Got the motivation to work on the Wyche Raider a bit the last two days. I'm hoping to get it done before the next round of the Archon's Challenge.


I put the Sslyth and little angry bugger together. I plan on painting up an Archon's Court when I get close to 3000pts for an Apocalypse game. Someday...

I forgot why I haven't painted all of my Raiders-they really suck to paint Hope to get this one and the Coven Raider done in the next two weeks for that tournament on the 12th at the Game Habitat in Monterey.


Hopefully I can get my tournament list painted before the next round of the Archon's Challenge goes into full swing.

Beautiful! Though I love bringing the dynamic basing to vehicles too, are you going to do it up?

Tell me about it! Then again, I think all vehicles suck to paint... But in any case, it looks really good. If you put decorations on it similar to those the baron got on his skyboard, it will look really good.

I'm going to go back and do the bases and riders for all of the transports once I have a flexible 2250pt tournament list painted up. My old DE army has all of the bases on the Raiders/Ravagers done. It looks MUCH better than clear crap!

@SaintSpirit-It will get the same hull runes as the Baron's board. It's just too easy of a catchy gimmick to not exploit on every vehicle

I'm really looking to get this Raider painted up by Friday, coven Raider painted the next week. I'm still finalizing my tournament list for the 12th, but should only have my Archon and two Grotesques to paint up after that to reach my 1850 list. Probably should post the list for ideas...

Just had another look at the finished baron, very very nice.

Good luck getting all your stuff ready in time. Could you post up your list for us to have a look at. I'm always interested to see how others approach a tournament list, rather than my darklight and venom spam yawnfest.

Very nice. I love that you can pull these colours off and it looks awesome.

almost done with the Wyche Raider. I only need to convert and paint the Aberation, driver for the Wrack Raider, and paint the Archon, Wrack's Raider, and finish the Raider for the Wyches in the next week for an upcoming tournament next Saturday...No problem, right?
My to-do list for the next 7 days:
