=][= Alert: Big Guns Never Tire =][=

[elmo]

Have patience... This will be starting soon.

 

The commissars will inform you in due course.

[varchilde]

Noob question, but I assume these painting campaigns have run before? Is there a link to a previous event for info/inspiration?

 

Thanks,

 

V.

3rd time lucky?

 

I damn well think so.

[WarriorFish]

I hope so! Your sig looks so lonely without much in, so a couple of images to spruce it up would go far

There have indeed been challenges before, Big Guns is the third. You can find the links to them in the events archive, each successful participation earns you promotions in the Regiment with bonus promotions for secondary objectives. That's what you can see in some people's sigs - there's an overall Regiments of the B&C rank and each event has it's own associated rank and medal (up to sergeant), it's all detailed in the previous events You can also find the Parade of Honour in the archive where people can show off their completed vows in the name of the Imperial Guard which includes the mighty ETL as well as in-barracks events

If you have any questions just ask and I'll be happy to help, but know that Big Guns will be starting soon!

[scatmandoo]

Waiting for this. The tech servitors are itching to get this years painting quota underway.

 

(Be nice to field an army where every unit is painted as I never have even since 3rd!)

[Brother Handro]

I have a Paskisher on my shelf that I've decided to commit to a battle against Der_H and his dastardy Emperor's Children in a few weeks, so this looks like good timing!

Er, also hi everybody!

[CommissarZac]

RRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! The wait is killing me It's January already, My Punisher is begging to be painted, and I have the next 2 days off, MUST.......PAINT......Something.

[WarriorFish]

Good to see you fired up comrades! Welcome Handro, this is the sort of entrance we like :D You can undercoat the model with whatever primer colour you use and it'll still be a valid entry so I recommend you get that done on your Pask if you haven't already. The crusade starts soon and will not be overly long so preparations for glory should be performed now!

 

Any non-transport Guard vehicle is a valid entry, from any Guard list (e.g. Forge World). It may be primed but no more than that without commissariat approval, if you have a vehicle you've started on you'd like to use check first - repaints are also valid as long as it's the majority of the model you'll be doing, again check to be sure. If you have any questions please let me know :)

[Sviar]

The challenge is starting soon right? This morning I found that a couple of guardsmen had grown a little impatient

[WarriorFish]

Very soon! :lol:

[elmo]

sooner and sooner..... Getting close now. 

 

Guardsmen - prepare your vehicles. For the Emperor!

[Lucio]

Does it count if it was a Guard tank in a previous life? I'm sure the 88th Phlegethos regiment would be happy to get close to all those lovely tanks with some anti armour ordanance....

[WarriorFish]

Depends by what you mean, we're looking for valid Guard vehicles only.

 

 

What's that rumbling I hear in the distance? Sounds like... a herd of buffalo. Yes I'm sure that's what it must be. Definitely.

[Lucio]

Was looking at starting a small Renegades allied unit, to get some serious firepower such as Wyverns and Basilisks.

[WarriorFish]

They're Guard vehicles so are valid, the paint scheme doesn't matter :)

[elmo]

Indeed, any guard vehicle (but no transports) is valid no matter which heretical paint scheme you want to slap over it :)

[Demus Ragnok]

I have an Executioner on deck awaiting orders.

[WarriorFish]

All field commanders; prepare for mobilisation and be on standby to receive your orders. Glory waits for none!

Regimental Command Commissar

 

++ Serve the Emperor today; tomorrow you may be dead ++

[elmo]

Adjusting my peaked cap at a more jaunty angle, cleaning off the leather storm coat and loading my bolt pistol ready for the call to arms.

 

 

Thought for the day +++ The Emperor expects +++

[WarriorFish]

Only the jauntiest of angles will do, precise to the degree of course! I like to give my coat a spray of xenos blood at least once a month, helps bring out the shine (Tau or Eldars is best, Ork is ok if you can't get anything else - don't use 'nid blood as it smells and can damage the leather). Then a nice clean with munitorum approved cleansing fluids and finally a good airing out from atop the antenna on the Baneblade. Got to look your best and set and example to the troops!

[elmo]

True. The troops expect a well turned out Commissar ;)

[CommissarZac]

Guns polished, engines started, Awaiting your orders Commissar

[scatmandoo]

Just managed to get some primer on the Manticore / Deathstrike. Will get a picture once it has de-fumed and dried and vow my participation

[WarriorFish]

Wait no longer comrades - the Emperor expects that every Guardsman will do his duty! ;)

 

Just need to assemble my model... going to be a busy few weeks! :P

[CommissarZac]

for the write up portion, I have been writting some fanfiction of my entry in the LORE section.  Would it be acceptable to link it to the thread or should I just copy and paste it all in the thread?
