Seahawk 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 :RTBBB: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 :confused:), 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!

Sigismund Himself Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The list of the faithfully courageous brothers in blue that has taken up the Challenge in Guilliman's name is as follows: Seahawk ShinyRhino Ming Ramell greatcrusade08 afrodude112 UltraRich Brother Valerius Chaplain Hiltraud .Torch. dijital_llama Dwarfkernow Rogan This leaves the Ultramarines in sixth position, a mere one vow ahead of the undisciplined rabble that go by the name of Black Templars. It's also 18 vows off the leaders, the Liber Astartes but remember that the subforum challenge is decided by the number of vows completed. So if every scion of Calgar does his duty, you guys are still more than a chance of climbing up the rankings! Also, a small number of participation prizes have been added as announced here. These will be given out in the following way: One card to the person with the fanciest/funniest vow (please just leave your name, the subforum you're vowing for and the amount of models clear or in bold if you go for this) One each to three people with the biggest completed vows One each to eight randomly drawn people who have managed to complete their vows One each to the first three people who get a Librarium article in after failing So why haven't you entered yet? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn. Palladorus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I just pledged a full Tactical Squad, so it looks like you'll finally get to see what a smug monkey can do with a paintbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 [*]One each to three people with the biggest completed vows Can you add to a vow or does it have to be the biggest 'initial' vows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplian Silkor Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I entered my Sternguard and a Predator. Maybe I'll even finish a couple more than I pledged :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigismund Himself Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 [*]One each to three people with the biggest completed vows Can you add to a vow or does it have to be the biggest 'initial' vows? I will have to think but I'm siding towards making it the biggest initial vows so as to reward those people for their bravery, as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ok, bit the bullet and entered. I know 5 Devesators arent much compared to earlier vows its that I KNOW I will be able to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn. Palladorus Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Fair enough. It's very ambitious, I'm only doing a ten-man tactical squad and people say I'm crazy, but I have faith in you; remember, "the warrior who acts out of honour cannot fail".

greatcrusade08 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 sounds very profound.. the way i see it is it gives me the imputous to do some painting and if i fail.. pick one of my many articles to publish :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn. Palladorus Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It ought to sound profound, Roboute Guilliman said it. :P "The warrior who acts out of honour cannot fail. His duty is honour itself. Even his death - if it is honourable - is a reward and can be no failure, for it has come through duty. Seek honour as you act, therefore, and you will know no fear." OT, does anyone else find themselves quoting 40k in real life more often than they probably should? I told one of my supervisees the other day "a job worth doing is worth dieing for". She laughed and I pretended I wasn't at least partially serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Ed Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Actually, I was thinking that I might quote 40k more often than I should the other day. At the office when a project that we were working on went downhill I noted "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment." When a subordinate asked me to keep an open mind on a proposal I tossed out "An open mind is like a fortress with its unbarred and unguarded." Needless to say his discomfort did not lend itself favorably to the rest of his presentation. Some are actually less psychotic though. I've reminded myself "Victory is just a prelude to the next battle" to keep from getting lazy, or that "Fear denies Faith" to stay the course. But yeah, I'm sure a psychiatrist would have something to say about all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranc Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Alright, I bit the bullet and made the vow, so I think Ultramarines are up to 18 participants? Last year, I only vowed to complete 1 Tactical Marine. This year, I'm feeling a bit more cavalier: I vow to complete *2* Sternguard :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigismund Himself Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Last year, I only vowed to complete 1 Tactical Marine. This year, I'm feeling a bit more cavalier: I vow to complete *2* Sternguard :) You are an inspiration to us all brother Tranc :P The following brothers have been brave enough to vow since the last list was put up: chaplainmikey Cptn. Palladorus Chaplain Silkor Thantoes Tranc By the efforts of these brothers, the lead over the Black Templars has doubled. Unfortunately, that means it's still only 2 ;) A surge from the Dark Angels has seen them overtake you guys and led by 1. And then after that, Chaos lurks a mere 3 vows. Will this situation be rectified? All it takes is 4 more vows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Hiltraud Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 GC08 - You crazy man! I can't wait to see all of your minis! Good luck to all brother painters :D Yours in Honour and Faith Chaplain Hiltraud OT: The only thing I started saying at work (and this was after reading Yogi's brilliant army thread) : "Is that [hat/apron/horn] codex approved?!"
