PATH TO REDEMPTION


The Shadow Guard

Recommended Posts

Well, I am certainly happy that I now have an entire month to dedicate to my last vow, because....

I, AvonRekaes, do hereby swear and avow, to complete the FORTRESS OF REDEMPTION as my final pearl.

220 points.

This is what I've actually had for about 2 and a half months now. I bought the Fortress for myself as an early Christmas present, because my local GW store was running a building/scenery painting workshop. This was the section of the Fortress I brought in to work with, and I learned some cool techniques like layering metallic drybrushing over nonmetallic drybrushing to get metallic colors, rather than mixing the metal and nonmetal paints first and drybrushing them on in one layer.

This is the quality I hope to match for the rest of the fortress. I'm sure my local GW store will see me come in for more advice as I work on other sections.

Second WIP Photo:

Bunkers and walkway completed. All that's left is the angel tower and painting the barrels on the Icarus Lascannon. After that it's the optional things like heavy bolters and ornaments.

VOW COMPLETE

Some detail shots:

Techmarine Hephaestus custom modified the Fortress under the orders of Brother Codicier Dantalion to mount a battery of four heavy bolters along the walkway connecting the two bunkers, deviating from the standard Chapter template. (Though still legal. The BGB says you can put emplaced heavy bolters on any section of the Fortress)

The Missile Silo, sealed with the chapter emblem

The seal is removed, revealing the missiles themselves. Caution chevrons trigger warning sensors in powered and tactical dreadnought armor to avoid misteps.

And over the whole complex, the Angel Tower stands vigil.

And to that I say...

A) Bravo!

B.) I shall begin the honored and ancient chant, which has been heard in other places..."Paint the fortress! Paint the fortress!"

I Sviar make my last vow to paint one attack bike for the month of feruari.

Sviar, the oath needs to be codex legal. You can vow a single attack bike if it were an addition to an existing RW attack squadron, you just can't vow it as a stand alone model...

I should have mentioned that it was an addition to my semtember vow, I'm sorry I forgot to do that. I was very tired yesterday. My september vow was 3 RW bikes from the DV box. It can be found on page 2, post 39.

TSG: if I make my PtR vow the same as my LPC one do I get a pearl for that?

Absolutely....

As you can alls ee from the overall summary table above, seven battle brothers now have the right to wear a single black pearl with pride. More importantly up to now there have been 126 participants amongst whom are 32 with FIVE pearls and 8 more with four pearls all of whom are within the cusp of earming their Black pearls.

The real battle now is to see what percentage of participants will gain the much coveted Black pearls!

Why not? whistling.gif

given that I have -9- pearls, and will have two more just from finishing my current vow, I think that it is safe to say that I am one of themwhistling.gif

I do have you as having 9 pearls, though the excel sheet uploaded will only show 7 at present. (I will update it in due course) One each for the five months, one for completing 10 additional oaths (you can onlye arn this once) one for the LPC and one for 1000+ pts of BFG. ? You will get two more for completing the Feb oath and including a new unit! Sounds right!!

Best I get involved then; I have come too far to fail now after all. The mini only has to be finished to the best of my 'current' ability right? tongue.png

I therefore vow to build, paint (as best I can until my cast comes off then we'll see biggrin.png ) and base: One Deathwing Relic Mortis Contemptor with two TLLC and a CML on top, before the deadline of 31 March 2013 or my names not Borris.

I started building last night but couldn't post a pic due to RL jobs. Starting pics willl be edited in here tonight smile.png

;P

Thank you brothers for updating me.

 

Arkley, Brother Captain Lucien, Wraithwing, elphillo and Artemid: Your pearl counts have been rectified. As you might realise as the main table thatcontained all this information ended up in bbcode I've had tor econstruct them piece by piece. I had missed out ona  few BHoA articles and certainly the LPC completions.

 

The following link contains the summary table as a PDF. Evryone please have a look and let me know by PM rather than clutter this thread and i will make the corrections.

Thanks TSG I am sure we all appreciate the work you put into this... I certainly do... smile.png

Now report to Chamber 42 tongue.png hehe...

What he said, im throughly impressed by your handling of this whole event (in a lack of a better word). And looking at that document.. holy moly thats alot of names to keep a track on.

Not to mention that this PTR has made me paint more models in the last month and a half, than i had done for the past 1+ year.

Thanks TSG I am sure we all appreciate the work you put into this... I certainly do... smile.png

Now report to Chamber 42 tongue.png hehe...

Absolutely this! At least the first part. :P Thanks for linking the spreadsheet also, for some reason I was thinking that my first vow was worth 3 White Pearls, when naturally it's only worth 2... I need to find another Legion or new 'Dex unit to get my sixth once I'm done with my February vow!
