***Librarium's Painting Challenge 2012 - Phase II***


Captain Semper

Recommended Posts

Actually Droma I think you missed 2 ;). There are currently 27 officially recognized DA completions. There are a further two (Darkerst Angel and Brother Immolator) that reported after the last update which will bring the total to 29. And we have four brothers that have reported completions here but have yet to report them to the official LPC thread in the PCA forum.

 

As a reminder these are:

 

Grand Master Neo

Gillyfish

Lord Hail

Stuka06

 

Guys you need to report your completions to the official LPC thread here. All that's required is to make a new post stating you completed your vow and add a link to your WIP thread.

 

As regards our "rivals" :blink: the next big three are currently:

 

BT's with 13 completions of which 2 were reported after the last update, the BAs with 8 completions (what happened there guys?) and the IA with 6.

 

Now though is the final week, so expect completions to be reported left right and centrer! ;)

 

Lets keep up the pressure though and win in a landslide victory.

 

THIS^^^ <_<

I just dropped by the Blood ANgels and BT forums to check out how they were doing with their vows. Is ee that a couple of our brethren had beaten me to it.

 

In the Blood Angels Forum I found our esteemed Captain Semper, very chivalrously aiding our Blood Brothers in counting their completed vows. Alas at the moment it appears that they only have completed 8 Vows officially. Now, given the secretive nature of the Blood Angels in guarding their secrets perhaps Captain Semper is trying to lull them in to complacency and reveal any alst minute compeltions thay have hidden away and want to deep strike along with their Land raiders!! :blink:

 

In the BT Forum, I actuall found our own moderator par excellence, Gillyfish, exhorting the BT Brethren to submit more vows at the beginning of the event. No doubt hoping that, goading more in to participating at the last moment would end up with mor eincomplete vows.... ;)

 

Subtle manipulation of the "Mind Worm" power at work eh? <_<

@ Grotsmasha: Go for it! The honorary 20%!!! Hahahaha!!! So what's in the pipeline?

 

I've got 3 minis, a counts-as Azrael, a Company Veteran and another Contemptor. They're all undercoated with the red base coat on the arms completed this morning.

 

Cheers,

Jono

@ Brother Kovash: You're updated to 96% Brother! Now let's see this vow finished! Eternal Glory To The First Legion!

 

@ Grotsmasha: It looks kind of ambitious mate... The Contemptor alone would be challenge (please, PLEASE, don't rush it), let alone two prominent characters!!! Good luck there!

It maybe a little ambitious but there'll be no cut corners. They'll be upto the standard of the rest of the LPC. I'm helping myself out motivation wise, a personal challenge.

 

EDIT: Also, since most of the armour is black, the bulk of the work is the reds and metals, which I can typically get a nice result quickly. That and I've Fri and Sat off for a last minute effort.

Cheers,

Jono

Progress is being made, but the bikes presented a harder paint then I had first supposed. Still, I expect to be done with the bikes by tomorrow and onto the final model. Just a few more days to go!

For the Lion!

All hail Luzbelito, the 34th Hero of the Chapter - Eddie, you sure have the craziest vow of the DA sub-forum!!! :wub:

 

 

 

We now need one more completion for the 2/3rds level! Who's gonna be the 35th Hero? any takers?

Thanks Cap!! You are a great dude and you have a lot of patience. My vow Is so crazy like I am!! If you will see my next works, perhaps you start to worry about my health!! :lol:

 

A great regards and a hug to everyone who participated!

Soooo... There's an extra credit thing? I didnt know I would own a pod when I pledged but I've painted one... How do I add it in Captain? I should be able to finish it up before the weekend.

Brother dean that's a very nice looking Drop Pod, great job! As for extra credit, I think that's just a few people doing some extra within the allotted time frame.

As for my work, vow complete! My WIP thread is in my sig, but here's a quick peek at my last model:

Put me at 100% Captain.

All Hail the 35th Hero of the Chapter - Brother Kovash!!! This has been a most excellent effort Brother - Congratulations!

 

Furhtermore with Brother Kovash's 35th completion we have crossed the 67% completion rate! 2/3rds of the total vows pledged by the DA sub-forum have been completed! What now? we done?

 

No! That's heretic talk! Now we shoot for 3/4ths! Let's get 75% completed!!! That translates to 39 completions or 4 more! The deadline is Saturday so we are a bit tight - but not to worry! DAs can handle pressure better than anybody else! And as a bonus we'd be "tableing" the IA guys - the 4th largest sub-forum in terms of vow submissions! Do we have it in us? I KNOW we do!

 

So let's get the 75% level done brothers!

 

For the Emperor and the Lion!

 

 

@ Brother dean and anybody else that seek to add to their vows, I beleive this is possible. You have have to add to your vow officially though, through a post in the official LPC thread saying you are adding to your vow. I base my opinion on this post by Brother Tyler - see below:

 

From this point on there should be no changes other than adding to your vow. The only additional vows that will be accepted are those that may have been posted in parent forums without being posted here - and those will only be accepted if they are quoted (meaning the date of the original pledge is shown here for verification).

 

Good luck, everyone!

 

Now it'll be better to confirm with the Mods (our own Gillyfish is also involved along with Brother Tyler and Sigismund Himself) that my reading is correct.

 

However keep in mind that if you change your vow, you are accountable for the new elements as well, i.e. the risk of failing is "rejuvenated".

 

Just for the record neither Elmo nor Grotsmasha (that is now committed to more painting) incorporated their extra minis in their official vow (although Elmo mentioned his intention to complete an additional squad in his original vow, he made it clear it was not part of his vow). So the extra 20% bonus is more like an unofficial "Honour Mark" - a purity seal if you like ;)- among our Unforgiven brothers to commend the dedication they are showing until the LPC is over... In fact I think the 20% is kind of meaningless since in the case of Elmo it should be even more (he pledged 15 minis in total and completed another 10 on top - and keeps going! :pirate:). But since people vow all kinds of things, making percentages very difficult to calculate (I'd say rendering them meaningless), I'll substitute the extra "20%" with a purity seal! So:

 

I'll be happy to award the SEAL of PURITY to anyone that will complete more than they vowed for until Saturday - no need to add to your official vow! Unless people want to of course! :P

I, skink of the Dark Angels, humbly submit 10 metal Deathwing Terminators for PURITY SEAL approval...

 

Nice one Cap'n, and big congratulations to the 34 other successful painters; it's been a great couple of months watching folk progress! For those who have nearly finished; keep it up, you're nearly there!!

FAILURE PENDING...

 

Well bad news brothers.

 

During the weekend I suffered 2 forms of calamity.

 

1. 2 exploding tires on the highway ... no worries I am fine minimal car damage.

 

2. Person giving me spare tires ignored my request to put the tires behind my seats on the floor board and put them on the bag containing my marines.

 

:o ;) :o

 

While there are still a few days remaining for this, I won't promise this will get repaired/done with the few hours of time i have left this week after working...

 

Always wanting to work on an article...

OK skink! way to go - I remeber your post, the LPC certainly got you going!

 

So we have Grotsmasha and Brother dean in the game for a Purity Seal - anybody else? :P

 

Now Order of the Dragon, this is a sad story indeed! I sure hope you get everything back together and fiinish your vow - even if you miss the deadline! BTW having two tires giving up on you is really bad luck! Good news you were unharmed (or anybody else for that matter). Now you give me the name and address of this tire person and I'll have Asmodai on his case pronto! :lol:

I'd like to report that the Blood Angels are going for stealth and will announce 40 or so completions this weekend.

 

I don't think its going to happen, several seem likely but no where near the number of vows.

 

Well done Dark Angels.

So sorry to hear that OOTD... I remmeber lasy year when i finally realised that i was not going to make it.... not a nice feeling but real life sadly does get in the way... Hopefully you will complete the vow this year unlike me who still has last year's vow sitting on my shelf... staring at me with big sad eyes!! :o

 

SG

Does my unannounced extra marine count for the purity seal award? :P Had to ask!

 

Anyways.just as expected our brothers made the chapter proud.Regardless of whether we reach 75% i believe we have already tabled the competition with spirit alone!Well done my brothers!

Well done Dark Angels.

 

Seems a little bit hard to believe me thinks.
