A BUG'S LIFE 2022 A Monthly Tyranids Painting Challenge Hello and welcome to the second official moderately low-stakes painting event for the Tyranid forum! This is purely a fun event, with the end reward being more lovely painted models for you to enjoy on the table, with shout-outs to anyone performing spectacularly! FORMAT Anyone who has entered B&C painting events before will be familiar with the format: In this thread, make a vow in a post to commit to painting the models you wish to, and share a photo of the unpainted model(s) you wish to paint for the event, along with their name and power level. By the 22nd August, share a photo of your painted model, finished to Battle Ready Standard, as defined by GW on the previous link. Basically, that's all parts painted with: Base, shade paint, then technical on the base. *NEW RULE* Over the course of this time everyone involved will have 5 vows where they can pledge any amount of models at a time. A vow must be completely finished before a new one is made. Badges (and bragging rights) will be awarded for the following categories*: Ripper - the badge of shame, all vows broken Gaunt - participation and completion of any vow Stealer - completion of 25* or more Power Level Warrior - completion of 50* or more Power Level Broodlord - completion of 75* or more Power Level Tyrant - completion of 100* or more Power Level *TBC If you like, models can be cross-entered into other events like Grotsmasha's Monthly Painting Challenge, so you can get extra kudos and share your work with those outside the Tyranids Section. TIMING The event will run for three months from Monday 23rd May until Midnight GMT Monday 22nd August (3 calendar months), after which we'll have a showcase and a tot up of who's managed to paint the most in that time! The 'active' month will reset on the first Monday of each month. This topic will open on 23rd May, and will be used to record vows and progress over the event. PLEDGES Over the 3 months, we'll each pledge to paint at least one model with the TYRANIDS keyword [including all models from the Tyranids Codex, Genestealer Cults Codex, and Forge World Books], however a soft target should be 10 Power Level or roughly 200 points per month. If you can stick to this and achieve it, you'll have a 30 Power Level Tyranids force to play some games with or reinforce an existing army! Your pledge can be as simple or ornate as you like, e.g.: I, Xenith, Commander of the Hive, pledge to paint a unit of three Biovores to the value of 6PL or ~150 points in the month of June 2021 Accompany that text with a picture of the pledged models, and you're good to go! If you like, post WIP photos in this thread, or start your own WIP log in the Tyranids section. BADGE In honour of your taking part, there's a signature badge in progress which all entrants can proudly display (and to promote the competition). 2022 badge That's all really! Just like the Hive Fleets, this post will evolve as time goes on and new challenges arise, and this post will record the entries into the challenge, so check on your progress here. SUMMARY At the start of the event, make a pledge in this thread what you want to paint, with a photo and point values. Paint the models Before the end of the event, share photos of the painted models in this thread Repeat steps 1-3 up to 4 more times. ??? Profit Smite that grey pile!

Gribblies are back! This is just a quick heads up, but I'm looking at running another A Bug's Life painting Challenge this year - probably starting in a month's time to let people gather resources and get to grips with the new book. This one will be 3 months (~mid May - mid July) instead of 5 months this time, as many lost steam over the summer, 3 will keep us focussed and then let us take it easy over summer!

Greetings Brothers and Welcome to the ✠✠ Challenge Against the Dawn ✠✠ http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o622/Marshal_Roujakis/Challenge-Against-the-Dawn-Gif_zpsradwavlf.gif The Enemies of the Imperium has pushed us on the very edge of a deadly precipice, The Imperium has literally been divided in two, both sides are suffering from alien invasions, daemonic incursions and renewed assault by traitors and heretics. It has come to a time where desperation has led to the revival of a demi-god and the birth of a brand new era, where the Astartes are reborn anew, where the old guard have been exhausted and newly forged warriors must be integrated to the Chapters of the Space Marines to replenish their strength, but not everyone sees hope in the coming of the light... These Commanders of the Black Templars are such individuals, they have heard the muster of the so-called Primaris Space Marines and have questioned Guilliman to the purity of their strength and resolve, they are a newly forged blade, untested, unproven and untempered to be thrust in a war that has split the galaxy into two, a veteran warrior will not be placated by mere words, but deeds... And while a new dawn might be coming, the night is still darkest just before the morn. Will you be one of these individuals to stand defiant? Will you fight against the coming onslaught of a galaxy that burns with darkness and destruction? Will you Accept the Challenge? ✠ So What is this Challenge? It started in Canadian_F_H's thread and somehow became an open season challenge, but... well... me and Brother Christopher had a chat in regards to how everyone is reacting to the news about 8th edition and the Primaris Space Marines... here is the quick conversation specifically about the Primaris Space Marines And a lot of those in the BT community alone had some trepidation and concerns in regards to these newcomers fluff and their shoehorn-ing to the Templars Crusades... and while we can't really do anything about it, except accept or relent to GW's decisions, we can still Challenge the Dawn of a New Era... and so a painting challenge is made. Paint a quick 5 model Astartes Squad in Power Armour (or Artificer) before the release of 8th edition ✠ The Rules: Paint 5 Space Marines in Power Armour (or artificer) in the colours of the Black Templars Paint them before the release of 8th edition and the Primaris Space Marines If you accept the challenge then you may take a copy of the banner below to show that you have accepted the challenge If you successfully complete the challenge a special Banner will be given to you If you fail to complete the challenge then a Banner of Failure will also be given to you Post here if you Accept the Challenge and a link to your Crusade's thread if necessary Post a before and After Picture of the 5 Astartes you wish to paint either in this thread or in the thread that you have provided If you're not satisfied and you want to paint another 5-then do so, but be warned, failure to complete the 2nd attempt means you get the Banner of Failure DEADLINE UPDATE: June 17th 2017 ✠ Notes: No, there will be no vows... there are no points to be used anyway... so no point using point system... This is not endorsed by the Mods... but it would be nice if it were, or at the least if this thread was pinned at the top... until the 8th Ed. release The Astartes does not need to be a squad, we're Templars we form groups according to bonds of Brotherhood and fellowship, not doctrine... You can paint Characters too, as long as they're in Power Armour (or Artificer) to oppose the Primaris Marines. No, we won't be putting your names on the first post... this isn't ETL nor a Crusade Expansion... although it would be nice if it were... I know... my photoshop skills aren't that good, But I promise I'll make the banner better... If you accept the challenge, then simply post below that you do and don't forget to get your banner (optional) and post links to your pictures ✠Banner of Challenge Acceptance: http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o622/Marshal_Roujakis/Challenge%20Against%20the%20Dawn_zpsbnxxzlfn.png And May the Emperor guide your brushes Brothers...
