march10k Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I can't start till the kit arrives from FW, but I entered for a full tactical squad in Iron Armor with Phobos bolters... just another step closer to completing the 5th company...after that, I'll just need twenty assault marines and ten devs...

march10k Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You RULE!!! Iron armour - this is something I'd very much like to see! I know...I love Iron Armor...here's the sergeant, as a teaser (I did specify in my LPC oath of moment that only the other nine members of the squad are to be my entry, disclosing that this model is already in the bag) /edit/ Ugh...my FLGS just told me that they got an unexpected (and large) tax bill, so they're not dropping their FW order as soon as they thought...I won't be starting that squad in the immediate future (no problem, it's nine marines, and I have three months!), but if they take too long, I may have to change my submission to a pair of ravenwing typhoons that I assembled for ard boyz but haven't gotten around to painting...

Captain Semper Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 OK, up to now the BAs have 29 vows in with DAs being the second largest group with 20 - Chaos guys have 19 vows so far! The BTs are also close with 17 vows. Â That means that assuming the BAs maintain a larger amount of vows, the only chance we have to win this is to consistently complete ours and hope for failures on the BAs camp. However the BA guys are a very driven bunch and I would assume a high percentage of completions. Â So c'mon guys the vow can be as small as a single mini! Let's do this and raise our vow count! :blush: The sign up period is still open but the deadline is infexible - so the earlier one commits the more time he will have available to finish up! Â For the Lion! Â Â EDIT: @ March10k: This is some figure! Can't wait to see the entire squad - they must look like the toughest bunch around!!! EDIT 2: thx Bro!

Louis Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Here is my starting point: Â Â A company Master with his command squad and two unpainted predators. The other predator I've recently converted over to Autocannon/Hvy Bolters from all lasers, so I'll include that in this project, but didn't include in the the vow as the hull has already had some work done on it (but needs more!) Â Started base coating the Master last night :D Â Thanks!

Kajae Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alright boys, I'm in. This is going to be good motivation (I'm still working on that tactical squad!) Â Vow: Four remaining marines in my 2nd tac squad, their rhino, sammael, 3 bikes and an attack bike.

Droma Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I guess now is as good a time as any to get my Azreal and helmet bearer models done. Although I will be buying some predators I'm not going to include them in the challenge.

Brother Immolator Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Though i believed myself to be the tail of this challenge i happily report that i have the company master and ezekiel complete!And on a good tabletop standard no less!If only my pal could lent me his camera before saturday :) Â Two questions:Do we need to start a thread in the WIP section of the forum or the one here suffices? Â Also the BA forum seems to be full of participants they outnumber us.Since they won their oaths the previous time,i take it most of them kept it right?

Brother Kovash Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm a day late with my update, but that's because I was able to spend all day Wednesday gaming, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, my really good camera isn't fully charged and I can't find the adapter for it, so I had to use my older camera for now. Also, when I uploaded my images to the forum gallery, they haven't shown up yet. So, I went over to photobucket, but again I wasn't able to post any images. For now I'm including the links for each image in my WIP thread. Hopefully whatever problem I'm having clears up soon. Â LPC 2012 Â For my vow I have a Deathwing Captain with TLC, 1 Deathwing Squad and 1 Drop Pod for my dreadnought. I will pick up some primer over the weekend and get to work on these guys next week. Â Edit: I realized now that I posted the photos in the gallery under the contest setting, which means they wouldn't show up until a mod clears them. I made the folder public now, so everyone can see them.

Captain Semper Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Two questions:Do we need to start a thread in the WIP section of the forum or the one here suffices? Â One is good enough - make sure you post a link in the sign up page! Â Also the BA forum seems to be full of participants they outnumber us.Since they won their oaths the previous time,i take it most of them kept it right? Â Difficult to say for sure... We got last years results but not percentages of success. However I bet, given the quality and commitment that I have witnessed in the BA forum, that we have to expect a high completion ratio!

Captain Semper Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Alarming news brothers! Â The BAs sub forum has, up to now, made 38 vows vs. ours 24! Chaos, BTs and IA are in the region of 20-22, so they are close by. The sheer volume of vows by the BAs certainly gives them an edge as we have to hope for a large percentage of fails and a 100% delivery on our part (so that we won't be placed behind Chaos or BTs). This is wishful thinking though, as there is no reason to believe that BAs would fail more than anybody else... In fact, judging from what I've seen in their forum I would expect a high success rate! Â So come on, let's get committed! It only takes one mini in three months! Let's show the arty boys in red that the use of the Blades of Reason is also an art form :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244605-librariums-painting-challenge-2012-phase-i/page/2/#findComment-2961218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that if they can paint what they're vowing in time, (and by painting I don't mean spray red, with a lick of Boltgun and Sunburst) then either the inquisition might have to be called in to investigate, or next years we have to have a 'No use of augmented servitor implants' rule Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244605-librariums-painting-challenge-2012-phase-i/page/2/#findComment-2961585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Damit Im in! Just when I thought, no serious painting this summer!! (down here is summer allright) Â I had already started a Company Master, and would like to add to it a proper Command Squad, and, why not, a scratchbuilt Razorback for them to ride to battle based on some cardboard Rhinos chassis I have laying around since 2001.
