+++From Rage to Salvation+++

[Jakbal]

I, Jakbal of the proud Blood Angels, vow on the honour of the Primarch Sanguinius to build, paint, and present a unit of Sanguinary Guard, Captain Tycho, and the also the model of Dark Vengeance Interrogator-Chaplain Seraphaicus modified to be a Blood Angels Chaplain all before the 30th of November. I will present pictures of my progress in this forum.I vow to bear the CARCERES IRA badge in my signature, should I fail to complete my pledge. May Sanguinius guide my paint brush.

 

This will be fun!!!

[Taranis]

This will be fun!!!

It sure is and will be!:)

Welcome aboard. :tu:

[Zynk Kaladin]

What happened to our fighting spirit?! I want to see more models!

Sanguinius weeps...

Anyway, I'm pledging 4 death company models: 2 almost done, 1 just modeled, and 1 needed to be built. I decided to go with the traditional Blood Angel colors for my Night Angel Death Company. They stand out a lot more in my sea of darkness and also fit the fluff of my chapter quite well. Opposed to the noble and angelic half of my chapter(lots of angelic motifs and happy adornments like Lucien), the Astartes of the other half are essentially savage death worshipers (Skull and bones!) who think falling to the black rage is an honor to experience oneness with our primarch. I thought it would be a cool idea for them to grasp the traditions of their parent chapter. Here's the status so far:

2 BP/CCW DC (need touch ups) and 1 with BP and power axe (need to paint):

Power Axe:

EDIT: 3rd BP/CCW DC:

[Brother Maxwell]

Awesome poses dude haha 

[Res Ipsa Loquitur]

I always pledge too much and always fail, so for now I'll pledge one Mephiston. 

[Zynk Kaladin]

Thanks Brother Maxwell!

 

Res, I know exactly how you feel.  A singular model is always a safe play.  Make Sanguinius proud!

[Taranis]

I always pledge too much and always fail, so for now I'll pledge one Mephiston.

Good plan and most welcome news. I hate to be a stickler for protocol but a formal vow is the ticket for admission. :)

 

As your can see Zynk Kaladin is making a second vow without formal declaration of completion of his first vow.

This he does knowing he's in his full right to do so. He completed his vow two days ago and here are his last two master pieces.

Marines, I'm happy to present the:

 

IRATUS DOMINUS

And the:

 

CARCERES IRA

 

http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/40k%20art/gallery_52275_4552_22336.png

 

The award is won, and may be carried, when completing a vow but lost if any vow's are incomplete by the end of November.

 

Who will shine the most in this display of loyalty to our Primarch and Legion?

[Pyro X]

Vow complete,

Reclusiarch with banner and jump pack

DC dread and rhino

[Father Mapple]

DC Rhino looks hot. The bone color on the Reclusiarch is good too.

I recognise my failing and will be sure to correct it.

 

I, Res Ipsa Loquitur, of the proud Blood Angels, vow on the honour of the Primarch Sanguinius to build, paint, and present Chief-Librarian Mephiston, Lord of Death before the 30th of November. I will present pictures of my progress in this forum. I vow to bear the CARCERES IRA badge in my signature, should I fail to complete my pledge. May Sanguinius guide my paint brush.

[Kanis]

Sorry for not posting in a while, been busy, but, only in death does duty end! I've got a small progress update that shows a Rhino, 3 of 5 Sternguard, and The Redeemer himself, in later stages of (slow staged) work! ^ ^;

 

[Gondow]

Keeping the banner high and all that :)

 

I, Gondow of the proud Flesh Tearers, vow on the honour of the
Primarch Sanguinius and of the Ninth Legion to paint and present 5 Death Company, (random weaponry and backpacks)

before the 30th of November. I will present pictures of my progress in this forum.

[Taranis]

@ Pyro X. Completion registered. I like the way the banner turned out. I suspect succes leads to appetite for more GS creation?

@ Res Ipsa Loquitur. Nice and with style. Welcome aboard. :tu:

@ Gondow. Back for more. I like it!

 

Gondow and Xmercx lead the way with Crusader Bob a close third. Good we have champions! So far 5 Brothers have earned the right to wear the IRATUS DOMINUS. Many more has set their target for succeeding. I'm looking forward to the last half of the FROM RAGE TO SALVATION as completions are reported in.

[Pyro X]

Correct you are. I did a few videos on how to make gs banners if u want me to link it in the forums. I recorded them when I made a few DA banners.

[Taranis]

Knowledge is power. I for one am interested. :)

Close third......wait, close third? I WILL NOT YIELD! Not even to a brother!

 

On with the HQs:

I hereby pledge to kitbash and paint a Commander Dante and Captain Tycho before november 30th, or die trying. For Sanguinius and the honor of the Ninth Legion.... and because i want to!

 

Pre paint pics will come soon, i'm in the process of stripping some paint

[SnorriSnorrison]

Howdy guys,

 

just a quick update here, and what I worked on the last couple of days - AT LAST! MY RAVEN IS COMPLETE (AGAIN)!

And them weapons.

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad309/Snorrinorrison/IMAG0333_zps1719ee1f.jpg

 

Basically I'm waiting for my magnets to arrive(should've shipped 3 days ago *grumble*) so I can continue with the Reclusiarch's weapon options. Until they arrive, I'll start with some GS where magnets aren't needed.

Is that pic on the wing a decal or freehand.  I really like it and the idea of a squadron type marking.

[Taranis]

And thus the trio of champions show the way in the defence of the IX legions birthplace. :)

@ MadGreek. I knew you would deliver. And of course something to please the eye.:tu:

@ Crusader Bob. Yeehaw! There can be no rest for the defenders of mankind. Vow registered. :)

@ SnorriSnorrison. Getting better and better. I'm really looking forward to seeing your whole Stormraven and the rest of your vow.:yes:

 

@ Everybody. It's good to see the progress in all your vows and the fun we nurture with and for our beloved hobby.

 

Initial post updated.

[xmercx]

Vow done, pics as always in WiP thread:

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256750-mercs-madness/?p=3493950

Next vow:

I, Xmercx, of the proud Nova Angels, vow on the honour of the Primarch Sanguinius to build, paint, and present 5 more Death Company and One Chaplain w/ powerfist before the 30th of November. I will present pictures of my progress in this forum. I vow to bear the CARCERES IRA badge in my signature, should I fail to complete my pledge. May Sanguinius guide my paint brush.

 Cheers mate, it's freehand, and kinda the motif for the scroll on the other wing. Took me way too long to finish it, though. Thank you, 'From Rage to Salvation!'

[Crusader Bob]

Skimming through my collection i've realized there are no objective markers, never got around making some (the fact i have no idea with what make them has a part in this, no way i'm going for the boring ammo crate).

Anyway, in case i decide to make a few, will be valid blood angels entries?

Yes, i'm shamelessly using this painting event as a push to do things, so forgive me

[Taranis]

Long day at work. I'll update tomorrow.

@ Xmercx. Congratulations on breaking the seal on the box of 4th vow goodies.:tu:

@ Crusader Bob. Anything Blood Angels goes. :)

 

I am still undecided about how or if to single a champion out. Number of vows? Total points? Difference in starting point?

Quality of painting? (Here I'm on very thin ice...)

[Kanis]

@Snorri I have to fanboy at you, I've been following your other thread and your vows here, and you're skills really make our Angel proud and I've gotten inspiration out of your work for mine (not to say others here are any less awesome!), but the freehands and level of yours are quite amazing, please keep it up as an aspiration lowers like myself.

 

@Taranis. If you do decide to choose one, I'd go with number of vows also instead of points, but just my small input to say so. :)
