+ Sons of Dorn Challenge the 1st +

[Dosjetka]

Hello brothers and sisters, children of Dorn all!

Welcome to this mini challenge to get people back into this tucked away part of the B&C and to get your painting/writing itch scratched!

To keep this as open as possible, I'm keeping the rules simple:

You vow to EITHER fully paint a single model representing a Son of Dorn OR you write up a 700 word snippet about a character from Dorn's genetic lineage (Note: entries which do not have the exact number of words allowed shall not be accepted). You may start as of today and must complete your vow by 1st May 2015, 1200 GMT. WIP pictures of your model are not required, but I encourage you paint up a new model and not just re-use an already painted one.

Once you have completed your vow, you may post your results in this thread. For completing your vow, you shall receive a special banner to commemorate and celebrate your successful vow!

So, brothers and sisters, it is now time to break out your paint servitors/auto-quills and show your dedication to Dorn and the Emperor!

Ave Imperator!

I'm in. Have almost finished building the chap in question, so painting him up was on the agenda anyway.
Harpus Goethe, honoured elder and first commander of the Gatekeepers chapter, formerly of the Imperial Fists, will walk the halls of the B&C by May 1st.

I'm in - been fighting the urge to paint myself an Imperial Fist for several months now.....may aswell bite the bullet and scrath the itch as they say. Spent the past few nights converting up a captain model to paint.

[Bernard The slayer]

I'm in! I'm gonna paint my sgt Garadon (though I'll probably never use him). Sgt, and later Captain Garadon, savior and rebuilder of the 3d will stride among his brothers fully built painted by March 1st. I'll post some unpainted pictures in the next few days. I would do it now but whenever there's any kind of break I seem to receive the mark of nurgle. I'll be active in a while brothers.

Some great entries so far. This should be a lot of fun!

[Adeptus-Alaska]

[nortran11]

I will be painting Sergeant Tor Garadon, of 3rd Company 1st squad as part of my vow.

[Dosjetka]

Totally psyched to see all of the finished entries :D

[Adeptus-Alaska]

Totally psyched to see, and read all of the finished entries

fixed that for you

[Stercus]

Nice work there. Just wondering if there's any restriction on writing a fluff piece as well as painting a model?

[jeremy1391]

Oh man... May have to get in on this... Gotta wait for ETL to start though...

[Gaius Atticus]

I intend to paint Chapter Master Pedro Kantor. I'll get a pre painted pic up asap.

Captain Attero Vortigern , of the Imperial Fists 2nd Battle Company " The Swords of Terra " .

[Conn Eremon]

Sancti Dorn, stoic defender of the Emperor's throne, honored protector of our birthworld! I, Scrivener to the Praesidium, have been assigned to the Adeptus Astartes, legiones geneline septimo-gamma, to place into perpuity the glory of Terra's sons.

[nortran11]

Here's a little kit bash I whipped up today. I'm not really sure who or what he is. He started when an old metal Pedro Kantor fell off my desk and lost his left arm. I took a jewelers saw and file to it and removed the forearm from just below the elbow pad and made a similar cut on the Champion's power sword arm. I didn't really do any planning on this guy, just kind of built as I went. I'm thinking he might make an interesting veteran captain or maybe even a member of the Vorn Hagen's honor guard.

 

 

 

I'll work on some fluff after I get him painted.

[Bob Hunk]

It's inspiring to see all the pledges and WIPs, keep it up chaps. I'll be entering my interpretation of Pedro Kantor. :)

[nortran11]

Alright, here is a WIP of Sergeant Garadon. This is the second Garadon I've done, I did the first one without a helmet and really regretted it after I finished.

 

I am also using my custom decal sheet with this guy. On his right shoulder is a small numeral denoting the squad he belongs to and on the left is a small red skull badge indicating that he is the squad's Sergeant.

 

 

All that's left is shading, adding scripture to the purity seals and basing....

[Dosjetka]

It's great to see so many people participating! :) I'm looking forwar to seeing/reading your entries!

 

I have very little forum time these days, so apologies if I don't post here for a couple of days. If ever there's a pressing matter that requires my attention, either use the report button (if necessary) or feel free to send me a PM and I'll respond within 24 hours.

 

Oh, and I'll be adding a list of participants to the first post, so that you can all see who's doing whatandI can keep track of you all with one quick glance.

 

Cheers,

 

Dosjetka

[Lachdannan]

Looks like some fantastic progress is being made. Thought I'd post up a quick WIP shot.
