JamesI Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The 2011 Librarium Painting Challenge It's the start of a new year and we all know that means it's time for the annual Librarium Painting Challenge (also known as the 'LPC'). Functioning as a chance for board members to make a New Year's Resolution to get some models painted by the end of March, the Librarium Painting Challenge offers both positive and negative motivation. The positive motivation is the promise of a newly minted Vow Complete signature, not to mention the glory and camaraderie of participating, while the negative motivation is the infamous Vow Failed signature and the requirement that you do an article for the Librarium (which is quite simple, really not much of a punishment;) ). So for anyone who received some models (board appropriate ones of course...) this Christmas and is yet to make a serious start on them, this is the perfect challenge for you :)For full rules and information on how to enter, please click here. This is also the thread to pledge your vows. Please don't post your vows here, they won't count!Once again, the Librarium Painting Challenge is also hosting a challenge within a challenge. This is the LPC Subforum Challenge. In this, every subforum is pitted against one another in competition to see who can get the most completed vows. The winning subforum receives the title of LPC Champions (and bragging rights of course :lol:), not to mention a subforum-specific Vow Completed signature. So get on board now and support your subforum! Remember that only completed vows count.. Will anyone be able to unseat the reigning champions, the supremely talented Blood Angels or will the fanged pretty boys (:P) have another year to lord it over the other subforums? You can make a difference!If you want to view the fun, mayhem and camaraderie invested in the Librarium Painting Challenge, check out the previous year's Challenge. Don't miss out on this once in a year chance! So what are you waiting for? Sign your board name here, grab those dusty paints, open those Christmas boxes of space marines and join in!

Judaz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 When I read what the other vows are it feels kinda cheap to put in a vow when the only thing I have lying around is a DC box. Don't think I'll be able to buy something new until april either. When I come to think about it I also have a drop pod somewhere. What do you guys say, is a Honour guard and a drop pod enough to enter in a vow?

Bradley Powers Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Based on what I've seen, I'd say it's a legit vow. Go for it!!! For Sanguinius!

JamesI Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sure, go for it. If I do it this year (haven't decided, have had very little time to paint for the past few months) it will be an Honor Guard (or maybe Sanguinary Guard) and my Furioso Librarian.

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 JamesI is it possible to enter in two separate sub-forums? For example, I'd like to hopefully get my Sanguinary Guard done by march, but I'll also have a nice vintage Death Guard Kill Team ready for February... I asked on the main forum but got no response. - Thanks!

JamesI Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 I don't run these events, so I can't give an official answer. I expect you can only enter for one forum. I've officially entered. Just doing my Furioso Librarian this year.

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Death Guard? Blasphemy! Burn the heretic! :pinch: Hah I know... I tried to hold off asking 'here' until I tried everywhere else first. As penance I'll force myself to clean and build my Vanguard Vet squad finally... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218589-the-librarium-painting-challenge/#findComment-2607591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazer Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I pledged a 5 man Sanguinary Guard squad and a Furioso Dread for this LPC. Hopefully I'll actually fulfill it this time and can get rid of my FAIL signature.

Ebsolom Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Tempted to join this again, I've got a load of stripped down marines I need to bling with the new BA bits. I'll have a look and then make my vow. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218589-the-librarium-painting-challenge/#findComment-2607814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korloth Darkwolf Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I would love to pledge, however I haven't yet had an article added to the Librarium. I've tried to submit a piece of DA fiction as until the BA Codex release I was a staunch DA player (still am but swayed by having both Angels of Death) however its not been deemed worthy enough yet and now at a loss what to submit to enable me to get pledging for the BA this year. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218589-the-librarium-painting-challenge/#findComment-2607829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edemia Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Not sure if i'm posting this in the right place, but i've got two questions:- 1) If you entered last years vow but had to pull out before the deadline, does that mean you've failed and owe the librarium an article? 2) If you enter a vow and finish it, can you enter another Vow? (I've got way too many Blood Angels units to paint and this would be a really good motivation thing for me.

I asked on the main forum but got no response. - Thanks! Sigismund has answered another poster asking the same question. Your work has to count for 1 forum. No reason you can't vow both units, but you have to decide if your success helps BA or DG.

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks JamesI ...so I can vow both my DG kill team and Sanguinary Guard for the BA forum muahaha...

Sigismund Himself Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I recommend PMing any questions to Sigismund Himself As soon as he has cleared out his PM box so people can actually message him ;) If my inbox is full, just post in the main LPC thread in the General PCA subforum. 1) If you entered last years vow but had to pull out before the deadline, does that mean you've failed and owe the librarium an article?2) If you enter a vow and finish it, can you enter another Vow? (I've got way too many Blood Angels units to paint and this would be a really good motivation thing for me. 1) Yes, unfortunately. If there was personal reasons or anything, I'm more than happy to waive it though :tu: 2) You can extend your vow or make another at any time. I would love to pledge, however I haven't yet had an article added to the Librarium. I've tried to submit a piece of DA fiction as until the BA Codex release I was a staunch DA player (still am but swayed by having both Angels of Death) however its not been deemed worthy enough yet and now at a loss what to submit to enable me to get pledging for the BA this year. A Librarium article can be quite easy. If you've got the BA codex, we'd love to see some more articles on the heroes of the Blood Angels. A basic template can be seen here. Indeed, Dante's article probably needs updating with the info from the new codex... Gunzhard: You'll have to choose one subforum for your vow to count towards, as JamesI pointed out.

WarpWalker Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well, I made my vow. I feel much better now. But here comes the buckling down part. When I present my marines( and I will). Can I present more models than I've vowed to do? They will be painted right along side my vow models.

Judaz Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sadly no vow for me. I went through my stuff and it seems I had already plundered the DC box, so I'm 2 JP's short. And somehow I have also misplaced 2 of my plasmaguns and all of my meltaguns (i'm sure I had atleast 3). Not making footslogging honour guards and I have no need for anything else on foot at the moment. I'll make sure to save something for next years vow. Good luck to you guys!

pate Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I made My vow and it feels very inspirational. Vowed to paint 10 ras, 5 Honour guard, 5 DC, a Sanguinary Priest and a captain. Finished my 4 first Marines yesterday. I'm a very slow painter so it's a pretty big undertaking for me to paint 22 minis in 3 months:p But since I'm already about 20% done I'm feeling quite hopefull:D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218589-the-librarium-painting-challenge/#findComment-2609348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sanvael Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Long time lurker, I have finally registered for the board to add my contribution to the LPC. After losing a figure case with 2 priests and a drop pod I need the motivation to replace them.

JamesI Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I like how I vowed to paint my Librarian Dread. So last night I pull out the paints and work on a new Sanguinary Priest (with Lightning Claw), some devs with missile launchers, a couple members of my Vanguard. Oh well. Next time I guess I start the Dread. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218589-the-librarium-painting-challenge/#findComment-2609474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitra Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Been lurking around here for a bit, decided to give this one a go. I have a question that I haven't seen addressed anywhere: where do I put my WIP shots? It seems most people have an ongoing WIP thread, but I have a blog for that and am loathe to duplicate it here. I also see some people start a LPC-specific thread, but that seems the exception rather than the rule. So what's the protocol here?

JamesI Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'll probably do my LPC WIP stuff on my B+C Blog or do a thread, either that or we could do 1 giant Blood Angel WIP thread so we can all motivate each other with our work.
