Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I, Res Ipsa Loquitur, of the Blood Angels, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least two Stormraven Gunships, a Drop Pod, a five-strong Scout Squad and a seven-strong Death Company with Jump Packs on or before the 31st of March, 2013. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the updated Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Starting point for LPC Vow http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/IMG_0062_zpsb9603a89.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/IMG_0061_zps9fdb935d.jpg The miniatures that are currently part-painted will be stripped and begun again. I bought them from ebay like that. The Drop Pod is on the shopping list.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Along with the LPC I'll also be posting WIP shots of my attempts to finish putting together a Death Company army. First up is Astorath The Grim who I originally bought in 5th Ed. and planned to use as a Captain. He only needs minor work really; a few details tidied up, parchment/scrolls, pauldrons and wings repainted and his face/hair done up. http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100062.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100063.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100064.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100066.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268766-rils-blood-angels-wip-thread/#findComment-3273653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 So I've had a bit of a disaster. I put the Scouts and the two DC that needed stripping into my usual stripper of choice, only for some reason this time it melted them into unrecognisable lumps of plastic. Question One; does it matter that the Scouts I'll paint up for this weren't the ones that I pledged? I'm going out today to buy a new box, you see. Question Two; can I change my pledge to include only five DC with JPs instead of the seven I've pledged?

Taranis Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Question 1. No problems Question 2. You'd better ask sigismund himself. That problem might be considerably worse. Nice painting so far.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Starting point for Dreads and Librarian; http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/IMG_0801_zpsd727660e.jpg The Librarian is new, the Dreads I got from ebay. I took their original armaments off, gave them a Simple Green bath, then gave them blood fists/talons. I also now have the Drop Pod and I'll be starting on that soon. I now have everything that needs to be sprayed black built, so I'll get on that ASAP. Painting pics coming soon.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 No idea what happened there ^ "Coming Soon" apparently means "in five months time". So I failed my LPC Vow, miserably.

Taranis Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Welcome back? :) Dc contingent looking magnificent. The captain has only reached the rank of promising yet. Very promising. A local (BA) painting thing is in the brewing.... just saying. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268766-rils-blood-angels-wip-thread/#findComment-3421030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 It is? Hmm. I only have a Drop Pod, Stormraven, Tactical Squad, the good Captain and half a Scout Squad left to do for my BA before I cast my beady gaze on another army. Plus, as this thread evidences, I'm really bad at painting challenges. 0-2 so far. When is this event starting and where do I find out more about it?

Taranis Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 We are waiting for the ETL to be completed honourably. Then in a couple of weeks we'll start it up. It's not going to be an overly competitive thing. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268766-rils-blood-angels-wip-thread/#findComment-3421092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Ok, I'll keep an eye out for it. Not overly competitive is good, as neither my painting pace nor skill could be described as 'competitive'. Not with a straight face, at least.
