Frostmourne Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hello friends and allies.Here starts the Month 1 Thread, (I may just continue this on and on, but might be easier to compartmentalise them into months)This month is Sep-October, obviously right.Ok so heres how it works.This post will be a big long list of the people who are involved. If you are involved, please post just confirming your choice of Legion, and your first month pledge.Overnight i have though that we should try to keep the pledges to as close to a full FoC slot as possible, not maxed out. But not just "1 tactical tester marine", I want to hear like "10 Tacs and a Rhino" Or something like that. WYSIWYG is obviously mandatory, because thats awesome. Or even, multiple units. So for example "I pledge 10 tac marines, a Praetor and a Dreadnought"This isnt about skill, this isnt about making Golden Daemon winning painting, its about having fun slowly and casually. There is a pretty good community here anyway so i dont have any worries there So thanks to FireGolem, here is the List.Frostmourne - Iron Hands / Mechanicum Allies.Fire Golen - Sons of Horus and AlliesDaismith906 - Dark AngelsArchAngel - First LegionDepthcharge12 - Dark AngelsWyvern - World EatersBattle8rother - World EatersMindOfMetal - Iron Hands/ MechanicumRuss Brother 92 - Iron Hands The Call of the Hunt - Raven GuardMarine7312000 - Blood AngelsChaplain Mortis "Awaiting Confirmation"Grand_Master85 - Imperial FistsBulbafist - Iron Warriors / MechanicumReyner - Iron Warriors / UltramarinesDemon2027 - Alpha LegionDaemonclaw - Word BearersGrimtalos - Emperors ChildrenStruManChu - World Eaters/ Imperial FistsIf anyone wants to join after, then just PM me rather than clog the posts up and i will add you to the list.Obviously, honour dictates i should decide my Legion by now, so i promise (Again) it will be done by the end of the day, and i hope that Chaplain Mortis does too Pm me dude.So every month we will make a new pledge, if you do manage to finish early, and want to make a new pledge, go for it, but if you dont finish it by the end of the month, you fail And this isnt serious, its just casual fellers If people want, i can introduce a friendly scoring system, just say in your pledge post whether you do or not if majority want it, we will.And as much as this is not a generic EVERYONE in the world WIP thread, that will be opened soon, but please post WiP here of your pledges, all the way from the box of FW, to modelling, to converting, to stage painting, shots in game, anything. Just make it a, like someone suggested, a Tale of the 18 odd gamers (We all should have done a different Legion! :0 :0 :0 ) Hahaha.Have fun gents.

Fire Golem Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 My first months pledge is to build and paint 15 tactical marines, 10 SoH and 5 NL, just to lock down my legions and get started on them. I also will try to come up with some cool fluff if stuff like that is being included here too? I'm all for a points system, might help keep me motivated, but I don't mind if others don't want that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/#findComment-3792052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm going to figure out how to magnetise the sponsons tonight and hopefully get it to painting level after that (only missing the sponsons and some light mouldlines to remove on the main turret barrels). Also on my desk is a half assembled Fire Raptor... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/#findComment-3792136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordo Machinum Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 My first month's pledge is to build a 10-strong Tactical Squad for the Ist Legion. I plan on using it as a test for some alternate paint schemes, representing the legion as it was during the Unification Wars prior to the Great Crusade and finding their Primarch.http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_9940/sml_gallery_8429_9940_143385.jpg  Their regimental symbol is simply a single red sword on a field of black. I believe it was in one of the DA Heresy novels where the winged sword was first worn by the legion after the Emperor found Lion El'Jonson.

Frostmourne Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Ok i am going to completely invent some fluff for my Iron Hands, as i need to bend a few things to make them everything i need from a hobby project at the moment.To start with, i am going to invent my own Clan. Clan Thorvak. I dont have a massive amount of fluff for them, but the basic premise is that they have taken alof of influence form other Legions. Still utilising the tactics of their own Legion of the Head of the Gorgon, and a penchant for armour and survivability. Commanded currently by Iron Lord Varin.After years of crusading with the Emperors Children, commanded by Lord Commander Vespasion, and various companies of the Ultramarines, Clan Thorvak began to introduce elements favoured by those Legions that were now shunned in regular Iron Hands Clans. The use of Plumed Helms to mark Command, A wide variety of weapons were actively encouraged throughout commanders, the right tool for the right job mentality and simple Ornamentation made on armour beyond normal mechanical additions.During the final battle for the enemies stronghold, Iron Lord Varin personally defended the lives of 7 wounded Phoenix Guard using one of their Phoenix Spears in place of his own missing Hammer. After the battle, Lord Commander Vespasion awarded Thorvak with the Spear of the falled Phoenix Guard, the same spear her used to save 7 other lives, as a token of his esteem. Thorvak in place, gave his Personally enchanced Volkite Charger, in reflection of the same sentiment offered by their Primarchs many years ago in the Urals.Those members of Clan Thorvak who were present during this like campaign along side the Emperors Children still decorate their pauldron with a Winged Icon in rememberance.Clan Thorvak, led my Iron Lord Varin, still pride themselves on the differences they have between themselves and other more orthodox clans, but completely still follow the Doctines of Ferrus Manus in the ways to execute War.

MindOfMetal Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Â Ok, I pledge a 3 model unit of Ursarax for my Taghmata, a Castellax for my Cybernetica and a Moritat for my Iron Hands. Wow thats quite a pledge, going full on with the mechanicum, love it. Are you using them as Taghmata? Â It's not too bad of a pledge, only 5 models. Â I have a smallish allied detachment of Legio Cybernetica for my Iron Hands as well as a seperate Taghmata, so I want to get work done on all 3 forces with this.
