FenrisWolf Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I, FenrisWolf, must declare myself, an instigator of this event, an oath breaker of extreme magnitude. My oath only got as far as the primed black stage. I may yet finish them before summer comes, however. But sadly not for this vow!

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 My brothers, As the leader of this event, it pains me as well to announce that I have not completed my vow. It did get me back onto the painting track, but I vowed too much and real life took too much of my time away from the project. I got the three Fenrisian Wolves done, base coated and washed the Thunderwolves, and go some small work on my Dreadnought done. Sadly still a ways off of completed. Let us not look upon ourselves as failing, this was meant as a motivational event to help the frater get more of their armies painted. And in that, we have succeeded!! I am humbling asking Valerian, Lord Ragnarok, or any other mod to keep this stickied. Here's why. I want to see finished work from you all, as well as my own, posted here. Look at it as an on going challenge. You against yourself. Look at this thread every time you log on and let it be a reminder to complete those vows and to honor yourself and your chapter!! Congratulations to those of you who completed this event!! You give the rest of us hope and motivation to complete our vows!! A leg of elk for your health, and a tankard of mjod for you heart!!

Yoyo ninja Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 [quote name="Rune_Priest_Rhapsody" post="3930585" timestamp="1422122485" Let us not look upon ourselves as failing, this was meant as a motivational event to help the frater get more of their armies painted. And in that, we have succeeded! End of Line Well put brother, it has been a great motivator. I compleated my (somewhat modest) vow and was inspired to start a new TDA WG combi-bomb squad who are currently about 60% done and I'm about 80% through my imperial knight. To all who read this thread and those that took part, be inspired and keep up the good work. The Chapter is improved by your efforts. For Russ and the All Farther!

rgr_maddog Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have been working every day but one in the last 10. Got my vow done last night, but technichally some time way after midnight. Working all day today and will be tomorrow, but hope to get pics up on Monday. Some are not based, think I'm going for the 32's, and will be touching some things up-- but they are looking pretty good if I do say so myself. Thank you for motivating me to make some real progress on at least some of my 40k projects I always seem to keep on the back burner.

rgr_maddog Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Storm Grrr. took a lot of work figuring out how to keep both options available and weapons interchangeable- no sexy solutions except for magnets inside the sponsons (only one option painted since that was my vow, and not 100%successful, but aall the more reason to get another as now I know what 'm doing [kind off]). http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a514/rgrmaddog/image.jpg2_zpshrjosrym.jpg Some of the bikes- did extra and magnetized some of the arms and one torso is interchangeable- right now it's an Iron Priest without a servo arm. Lots of tedious crap-striping paint and removing iconography (both sets of 3 off ebay for less than one set of 3 new, so it might have been worth it...). I like my flags, "Sons of Russ MC (motorcycle club)" din't turn out great but my freehand is normally only for large triangles on shoulder pads. http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a514/rgrmaddog/image.jpg3_zpsxjit3bgm.jpg http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a514/rgrmaddog/image.jpg4_zpsoatbzzox.jpg Some of the boys- all magnetized, but only did enough for what they have. I only realized I had completely forgotten one set of arms when setting up the photo and wondering 'where's my 5th troop?', but I hope the three extra arms I did for the bikes keep me in line with the oath gods! So there might be a black plasma gun and power sword hiding in the final photo (not this set). http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a514/rgrmaddog/image.jpg6_zpsja3mlkb6.jpg http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a514/rgrmaddog/image.jpg5_zpsmzyw8wjr.jpg And the entire vow- http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a514/rgrmaddog/image.jpg1_zpsvjhn8p8k.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298350-2014-solstice-advance/page/10/#findComment-3934418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulder Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 nice snow, very realistic Very clean painting, the stormwolf looks great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298350-2014-solstice-advance/page/10/#findComment-3935104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgr_maddog Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Thank you, I think the new(er) paints help with brush strokes/ unevenness. This my first vehicle with them and my first non-rhino; I am pretty proud of her. Still working on bases- do you guy want pictures posted here when they are done?

BlodVargarna Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hey any chance there will be a new challenge issued/ place to make vows? I need to light a fire under my butt to get some miniatures painted.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hey any chance there will be a new challenge issued/ place to make vows? I need to light a fire under my butt to get some miniatures painted. Well, this kind of SW specific event usually only happens once a year. The B&C holds many other painting events. Look for the Librarium Challenge, the ETL, and I am sure there are others I don't know about.

Leif Bearclaw Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well, it took a lot longer than I'd planned (RL decided to really mess me up for the last couple of months), but I finally finished my vow.
