My vow is complete. I'll update my threads with full pics and a cmon link a little later, but for now, here's a teaser photo in exchange for my gribbly. :)

Wow, that Rune Priest looks amazing!! Not that expected less from you Iacton Qruze!! Well done brother!!

 

I have three power armor models to pick detail off of before tonight, looks like I'll be squeaking through once again!!

 

Edit: I have just learned that the four 'upgrade' sprues with the wolf back packs will not be arriving today like I was told they would... I suppose I will leave it up to Mav and the Long Fangs to let me claim the mark once my models are 'finished'...

 

End of Line

Hjolda it's done!

Just came back from work and managed to sneak into the bedroom to take two quick shots of my completed vow. It still lacks purity seal b/c it's freezing outside and I reallly don't want the finish to become rough on the surface, so I'll just have to wait for warmer conditions.

Our newborn son (who passed the axe test with bravado) and my wife are already asleep inside, so I'll take some more pics tomorrow and maybe even open up a thread for it. It was great fun with you brothers, thanks to Brother Maverick who initiated the whole thing and keeps it running, have some ale! The crossed spears atop the tank are an homage to your great idea and bitz-fu, I hope you dig.

But now, here it is:

I managed to finish my vow:

The painting was a bit of a rush job, and it shows. Also, I need to paint more often because I can't remember how to do faces.

I'm more disapointed in the sculpt though - I didn't notice how thick I made the right arm until way past the point of no return and it's a damn shame I couldn't get it resting on the sword like I wanted. Have to star earlier next time.

The bionic left arm was a stroke of genius though, even if I say so myself - it meant I could leave the shoulder pad off and so neatly sidestep the spacing problem.

I've completed my vow. Unfortunately my pictures are a little bad-I do plan to improve on this.

Heres what I have though

4 Long Fangs

5 Grey Hunters

I have WiP photos to eventually put up, real life has slowed down my picture editing a little.

Okay - Vow finished at last haha - I'll post up pics of the individual guys once they're uploaded onto my albums, they'll be here: WA/LPC Linky

Just so people know, these are as finished as they'll get until I get payed (a while off) hence no flock on the bases (though they'll be snow bases) and the red will be blood on the snow.

vow complete! more pictures at http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=211665

--EDIT--

Deadline is tonight at midnight!!!! Central Mountain Time (Canada). I will update the page tomorrow when I have time. Congratulations to those who finished. As for those who failed their vows... please report for cleaning duty in the Underfang. But don't worry folks, you'll have another chance at glory in July for the Summer's Advance 2012, Pack Expansion.

Might as well ask this here:

 

I'm missing out on a lot of the cool decorations from past Pack Expansions, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do for my wolf brothers and sisters, that they would see me worthy of retroactively acquiring some of them?

I to sadly failed to meet my goal this time. Three Grey Hunters half done... I am not pleased with painting power armor, I tell you what!!

 

Great job everybody, and thank you Maverik for setting this up again!!

 

End of Line

Well i managed to fail my vow, thats first for me, but between work, kids, uni and being sick the last week i managed to only get as far as building the storm raven and undercoating it, i did not ant to rush it last minute and waste a model so i decided to leave it for when i actually have time.

 

Thanks to Mav for setting this up, hopefully next time i will be better prepared and have less going on in my life.

I wanted to also thank those brothers who were able to participate. I enjoy looking at everything you all have shared. I singed up about last and for a short while didn't think I would make the deadline, but thankfully I was able. I am at a strange point in my wolves collection and some times find myself in doubt as to what I should be working on at any given time.

I think the next time around I will try to spend more effort on the modeling and really try to go all out. though That may mean less models are to be sworn too.

Thanks again.

Win a GD for the Fang and I'm sure the Great Wolf will bestow a suitable honer upon you ;)
