Ugh.

 

This is how Aspiring Champions become Chaos Spawns...

 

So I failed the LPC this year. I owe the article (I wonder if the one I submitted last year when I didn't know it was closed would count?) and the further diorama I pledged, plus I still have all this stuff to finish.

 

But, like the Legions I love so much, I remain proud, and I promise to continue the Long War (against my unpainted models) from the Eye of Terror.

 

Ave Dominus Bellum

Vow Complete! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry3030081

I won't lie, I'm probably going to go back and improve on all these a bit (and see if my skills have improved any yet :D), but I'm very happy with getting 109 models painted in 4 months.

I have posted my pictures showing my barely-completed vow. I would like to know if the hatch I discussed in the post makes me fail it, however. Long story short, when I was finishing the last tank, I found that I was straight-up missing one tank hatch. I really hope this doesn't make me fail, because it would be the singularly dumbest way to fail an LPC vow.

 

Anyway, pictures are posted here

Woot! I completed my Typhoon yesterday...LAST SECOND! Finally got the pics uploaded tonight. My LPC thread is in my blog with all of my updates and the final product. Hope you guys like the way it turned out!

 

Philsminions LPC Vow - COMPLETE!!!!

So here is my completed thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=249963

 

Here are the WIP updates and general thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=241241

 

I can haz signature? Or have I failed the Emperor?

When I started this year I had no job and no girl. All I held in my hands were paints and promise. Since then, I've gotten a job and a girl and life has been great. The LPC has been the motivator for me to get more of my army painted and while I had quite the ambitious oath (at least one model from every FOC slot), I only finished about half of it. Here is my oath and what didn't get done:

 

HQ: 1 AoBR Captain (partially finished)

Troops: 1 ten man Tactical squad (complete) and their dedicated Rhino Transport (unfinished)

Elite: 1 Apothecary (complete)

Fast Attack: 1 biker (unfinished)

Heavy Support: 1 dreadnought (unfinished)

11/15 models complete

 

In the meantime, this is what I got accomplished:

-Reorganized the room I paint in and got a dedicated painting table.

-Got two lamps for opposite ends of the table.

-Organized paints and threw away dried up old paint. (Including my boltgun metal.) :P

-Converted 20 tactical marines to assault marines.

 

So while the LPC has been one of the motivators for me to paint my army, I believe that all the non-oath stuff I got done will really drive me to convert and paint more than I have in the past. I look forward to sharing an article with the B&C community as well as finishing my oath in this next year.

For those that failed, here's the traditional Vow Failed signature. Wear it with pride :lol: There should be some news on what to do with articles soon too.

Cheers,
Sig

Land Slide.

 

 

Say it with me.

 

Land slide. I'm guessing so many DA players finished because y'all are expecting to become the new Games Workshop poster boys with the new edition/boxed set...

 

But in all seriousness, congratulations to the DA subforum! And congrats to all those who completed their vows. Also, thank you to those who did not, instead choosing the higher path of supplying the Librarium with more articles :)

No, we just finally wanted to be the best at something again lol.

Huzzah for the First! :lol:

 

Awesome, I would like to congratulate Captain Semper without him and his inspiration, his encouragement and pushing we would not have knocked the BA of their shiny pedestal. Hurrah for Semper! Hurrah for the First, the Sons of the Lion!
