LakotaWolf Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 After completing the Winter's Advance, I slacked. I have barely done anything since. I would like to propose Monthly having a Pack Advance. This is not as strict as the other one. My Brothers and Sisters this will be on the honor system. All you have to do is tell what you are gonna paint and show a pic in this thread when you finish. No need for progress pics. What do you get for completing........A little closer to a finished army With that said I do not want to tread on any other Advance that is normally done on this board. Pack Vows LakotaWolf: 1 10 man Sniper Scout squad and a 10 man Fenrisian Guard Unit Brother Seraphion: 1 Razorback, 3 Thunderwolf Cavalry, 5 Fenrisian Wolves Rune_Priest_Rhapsody: 3 Thunderwolf Cavalry spwolf12: 1 Grey Hunters Squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248704-march-pack-advancement/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kinda renders any official painting vows useless then LOL just because people failed to do theirs on time that is... bottom line if you want or need to get motivated, then just do it. I think the point of pack expansions is more as a community fun activity. Just my input, people have the right to disregard my opinion.

maverik_girl Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 now i am convicted Maverik_girl. i need to start painting.... Well I don't paint, I just play. But watching everyone at The Fang get motivated and pushed to complete a project within the two months was nice. For me, it was just common logic to just do it (paint). Why do you need a painting vow to complete your models now? you should just do it when you can. I guess I wouldnt completely understand as I don't paint hahaha. But imho it's a little silly for those who failed, or missed out on their vows, to make up their own vows now. As I've said earlier, we have those events as more of a community thing. If you honestly want to paint and complete a few models on your own. A pack or even mech, then you should just do it. Nuff said. Why make it fancy with an unofficial one? LOL its a cop-out. Guys, it's okay if you failed your vow from before. Real life situations happen! It's not the end of the world. Your models are still there waiting for you.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 But for some of us, life becomes to busy, or something comes up. When that happens, the fun things get put to the back burner. I'm plenty motivated to paint when I can, but having the community participating and backing you feels good and can be extra motivating. For me these painting challenges are all about sharing and comradery. While I do agree that a monthly challenge takes away from the quarterly ones that Mav hosts, I think that giving us a forum to share our progress can, if nothing else, reduce the amount of personal WIP threads. I finished my Winter's Advance three days after the deadline, but it certainly didn't stop me from painting. I have three TWC primed (two are based and the first couple dry brush layers are on), five Fen Wolves primed, and the remaining 28 Grey Hunters are built (sans back packs) and going to be primed tomorrow. I don't NEED this thread to motivate me, but it will be something I will participate in because it's enjoyable for me. And I like to share my progress with you all.

Wulfebane Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 With respect to the intent behind the creation of this thread, I agree with Mav_girl. It detracts from the quarterly (bi-annually?) challenge.. and it isn't really a challenge at all. You make a vow which is already stated you don't have to live up to and can neglect as much as you want. It feels to me that this thread would just be the same as the stickied SW Painting+Converting thread with comments allowed. IMO unnecessary and unlike RP_Rhapsody, I like the individual WIP threads. Let's me keep track of individuals' progress without it getting all jumbled up or trying to discern which image someone's comment might be referring to, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248704-march-pack-advancement/#findComment-3011692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm with Mav_girl and Wulfebane on this one. To each his own obviously, but I'm saving pledge time for the official advances.

LakotaWolf Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 like I said.....I did complete my vow.......but I did this because by coming on here and saying I will paint this I have no choice but to make every effort and get it done.........instead of grabbing something newer and messing with it or finding something else to occupy my time......on the months Mavs pack advancement happens i wont be posting this......this should not take away from it.......like Mav_girl said The pack Expansions is a Community Activity...........thats all i am trying to do is keep group motivation going when the big ones Mav does are not setup.

SPWolf12 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 And just as an observation, like I stated above. I am new to the community and was hoping to participate in the Winter Advancement but did not get a chance because I in before the deadline. If LakotaWolf had not started this I would have waited until July to participate in any kind of vow, this kind of help new people get involved.

Why do you need to come on here and say that you need to paint this or that, just to get something painted? when in reality you should just do it on your own. Why do I/we need an excuse for anything to get accomplished and done in general? I'm pretty sure most of us here, are responsible/mature enough to do it on our own when we have the time, and not when we are somewhat forced to do it. Your logic is pretty much implying that if I pray hard enough and ask God for me to win the lottery, I'm gonna win the lottery. But what I'm pointing out is.. it may or may not happen, because you need to first buy a ticket. With the community painting vows, it's not always something newer, please don't get that misconception wrong. The vow does not to be something brand new and untouched. People here at the Fang have painted and vowed something half done in the past before. Your also implying that out of the 12 months, 10 of those will be dedicated to this thread. Because some people lack a certain drive to just do it out of necessity and common sense. It's like getting chemo therapy, I'm gonna hold off on getting it done, because I'm not motivated to cure this cancer on my own... I mean really? Sorry I'm a nurse I'm just dumbing it down to try and make sense. You say/think that this is not taking away from the community wide pack expansion, but you also fail to see that it does to an extent. By having this thread posted, this too now is part of the community. Because it's out there for everyone to see. Do you see the contradiction in what you've said? I understand your intentions, as they are meant for a greater cause. And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be mean. And I apologies if I've come out as such. I'm just pointing out the other side of the coin of what you told us. It has contradictions within them, no matter how subtle or discreet. This is your thread, and people are free to do as they wish. I just don't like it when people can't see their own actions or how they might harm/insult some members, although I don't speak for them. I just got the wrong/bad impression. That's the only reason why I'm posting :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248704-march-pack-advancement/#findComment-3013929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
