Leonaides Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Right, this time we win... Everyone start looking for a paint job being required, and save it up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well, each faction's effort is linked within the above link but just to get the rough idea here's what the BAs did last year: ETL I (BAs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What is it though? It's very unclear as to what you're actually running. It doesn't explain what is marking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Painting challenge, where the winner is the forum who register and complete painting of the most number of points of units within the challenge period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Oh at last! Good with a heads up. Beware now, Captain, we have a Boomkapow! And he's been practicing! I'm preparing 10 Vanguard for the 15th. For Sanguinius, Our Father! Prepare yourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Bloody hell I'm smack in the middle of painting stuff.....sorry guys...i cant help this year :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-smuv Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I did not participate last year, but I am interested this year. I have a question, an I'm hoping that one of the vets can help me out. The link from last year's rules states "Only two pictures are required – one in the beginning (minis unpainted or primed or in very early stages of painting) and one for the finished vow." How unfinished does something have to be to count as an acceptable starting point? I have some stuff that is base coated then 1 color. Does that count as "very early stages of painting"? If so, I'll hold off till the 15th. Otherwise, I'll keep painting my current project until the 15th and start something fresh then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 That normally isn't a big problem. You might post the start picture and get it ok'd from the TO. I normally have them in the stages from sprue to basecoated on the first pic. And then a finished pic. I believe Captain Semper last year emphasized that its a painting competition. But conversions, etc increase the awesomeness. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Having brought shame on our chapter last year by being unable to complete my vow, this year I will abstain from competing. To those BAs who do compete, I wish you all the very best. Mogsam, this thread is just a notification. The full rules, etc, will likely follow in a few days.

Leonaides Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Jolemai, I think you got that the wrong way round- now is the time to step up and complete your vow this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zynk Kaladin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Excellent timing. I have A LOT of angels to get done now that my college career is coming to a close. We're going to win for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I just starded painting stuff, but I just finished putting a base coat and a wash. That probably puts me out of the competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hold your breath for the 15th. Ask the Captain then. Spend the time preparing the models for the next vow...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makkeru Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have a bunch of characters like Mephiston and Dante in shining silver armor. Maybe it is time for them to get some nice colors. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzenes Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have some questions, I hope someone could help me with. I've only been playing 40k for about a year and I haven't painted anything (or painted ever really), is there something I need to do to be able to join in? My quality will probably be low as a first timer, but it sounds like real fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have a bunch of characters like Mephiston and Dante in shining silver armor. Maybe it is time for them to get some nice colors. :)Yep. Last year I did mephy, tycho, 3 different lemartes, corbulo. Easy points. And 4 librarians, 20 Terminators, 15-20 death company. If you have many unpainted models then just get cracking from day one. :) I have some questions, I hope someone could help me with. I've only been playing 40k for about a year and I haven't painted anything (or painted ever really), is there something I need to do to be able to join in? My quality will probably be low as a first timer, but it sounds like real fun. Normally its tabletop standard. 3 colours. Last my year my painting quality greatly improved due to actually getting some experience. Just go for it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomkapow Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I should have a tac squad and a rhino and, maybe, a baal pred. Should be ~450 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm sure you can fit in a captain there - or a librarian on a bike maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Son of Sanguinius Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Perfect timing for this, I was just starting a new army after being gone for a long time. I can wait another few days until I start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 There can be no rest! Just kidding. Until it starts for real it could be a good time to kitbash all sorts of models in preparation. Nectarines, captains, priests, etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
