PATH TO REDEMPTION


The Shadow Guard

Recommended Posts

So this probably shouldn't be posted here, but I didn't feel like making a new post in the flood of "zomg new codex lets talk!" But I did feel it was appropriate.

I would like to thank The Shadow Guard and all the other brothers here for their inspiring work. Without you I would have never taken up the brush and started painting.

With that said I just came back from my gaming club tournament, called Hammer in the New Year. Unfortunately I didn't do that well. Running 4th edition Deathwing versus very dakka armies sad.png

But I did bring some honor to the Chapter.

I barely beat a beautiful Daemon army by one point and a gorgeous Necron army by 2 points. I'm very proud about this and I have all of you to thank for it. So again thank you for motivating me to actually paint my army!

FOR THE LION!

Congrats brother :)

January Vow!

 

After reading through our glorious new Codex, I've been inspired more than ever to paint my army. First, I should complete what I have started (ie old), then do something new.

 

Old:

 

2 Land Speeder Typhoons with Heavy Bolters aka 2 x Ravenwing Support Squadrons:

and from this make a New Belial model:

Will post Beilal and his crue in the LPC!

 

Total points for Vow is 440.

I, Windfang, vow for the month of January to paint Sammael on his jetbike. (200pts.)

So, as the new codex is out, and I've managed to assemble something despite my 10 months old son's best effort,
I vow to paint Nephilim fighter (180 pts) by the end of January.
Current state:

At the risk of sounding like something of a retard, can someone please check my maths is accurate? I need to bag myself 5 pearls for January and February so I plan to do the following:

 

1) January Oath

2) Enter LPC with January Oath

3) Paint Nephilim for both of the above

4)February Oath

5) Paint 5 Deathwing Knights or Ravening Black Knights

 

Am I right in assuming that would be valid for the 5 pearls?

I, NCSUwolf, vow for the month of January to paint a Deathwing Command Squad with an Apothocary, STANDARD BEARER(Deathwing Company Banner), Company Champion, Plasma Cannon, and Thunderhammer/Stormshield. (320pts)

Vow complete...I should of also vowed the Jetfighter as I finished that today as well. I have a bunch of nice new models that I have to have as complete as possable seeing as I'm participating in my stores first batrep on Friday.

Taken your word for it and listed you as complete. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Weeeeeeel, that really cheapens the process. Two units for five pearls= bah humbug

I just love the new arrivals - the flyer looks awesome cielaq and so do the new termies kanan! This is going to be a fantastic month!

 

Stobz, please report to Dungeon D-1222345/4. Cell 42 is ineffective on you it appears. But we got something for everybody, no worries - breakfast is included! :D

I do quite enjoy a light brekkie with a round of life changing torture included.

Where do I sign up?

 

Apologies to Brother Balthamal, nothing personal dude, that was only an example.

It's just the ever changing nature of this project is making me lose interest a bit, I love a challenge and the easier things are the less I appreciate them. 'Cept chillaxing; that should always be easy or you're doing it wrong ;)

I know, sneaky. But I only took up the mantle of the I Legion in December so catch up must be played.

 

If it makes you feel any better, I plan on attending a tournament at the end of February which will require 2k of painted Multiwing. Sleepless times ahead since at present the only unit that is done is my 1st squad of Deathwing. Everything else is currently primed still on the sprues. /cries

 

So, I Balthamal vow to complete a total of:

 

1 Nephilim Fighter

1 Full Ravenwing Attack Squad (6 Bikes, 1 Attack Bike, 1 Landspeeder)

1 Ravenwing Command Squad

Sammael in Saberclaw

For Januari I VOW a Typhoon Land speeder with a Melatagun.

 

I forgot to take a before foto, but SG were kind to allowe me to take a photowhere I was then and use it as a before photo.

As a Son of Johnson you should be ever ready to react to the changing tide of the tactical situation..... and what is the point of having circles within circles if we let everyone know all the rules right at the outset...

... and the awards and rewards that the faithful earn are not all displayed or spoken for....

you just have to wait and see through to the end.... many might be the recognition and reward for the truly unforgiven who walked the path from the first through to the last!!! whistlingW.gif

Unfortunately I was 5 minutes late to the tournament cause I was putting the finishing touches on the squad right up until the deadline. Oh well!

Better late than never, here is my vow for January.

 

I vow the 3 Ravenwing bikers from Dark Vengeance. Still need to take pics and figure out how many points they are. I'm a little short for time tonight but wanted to get my vow stated for the record :)

 

Al

Was going to do ravenwing, but instead feel like painting a character or two.

 

I djgoldsmith vow to complete.

 

1 x DV Librarian, with power sword @80 points

1 x Ezekiel @145 points
