Dosjetka Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 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!

Bernard The slayer Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 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.

nortran11 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 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.

nortran11 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 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....
