Kor'Vesh Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 ---- January ---- Happy New Year! Welcome members of the heresy subforum to the first Casual 30K hobby challenge of 2015. Get lots of forgeworld goodness for Christmas? Trying to make those new year's resolutions to paint on a regular basis? Crave competition to pull you through a dismal January? Then you are in the right place! The aim is simple - to give you a single place to post your newly painted models for your 30K armies, and provide a big heap of encouragement, with a healthy dose of competition. To join in you make a hobby pledge for the month, and this contibutes to either the Loyalist or Traitor cause. There are two competitions: 1. Pledges - Loyalists and Traitors compete on completed pledges over the month. The more completed pledges the more points you win. You can make a second pledge only once the first is complete, and in doing so you risk your first pledge. That's right - pledges are all or nothing - complete your vows or live in shame. I rergained my honour in December, as did the majority of the loyalist team - are you up to it? 2. Scores - Every model you pledge to paint is worth points. Once you finish the model and show us you earn points for your faction. These are always safe, so there is always an incentive to keep painting! The scroes are as follows - Scores Infantry - 1 point; Large Infantry (termies, bikes, rapiers without crew etc.) - 2 points; Monstrous infantry - 3 points; Vehicles - 6 points; Lord of War (including Primarchs)- 10 points. At the end of the month I'll tally up the points and pledges to see who wins. Simple? After three months the Loyalists are ahead 2-1, with a crushing victory in December. The Traitors are doing great work though, they just need more bodies! I'll try to post regular updates, so we know the teams, and how things are shaping up. Last month was really successful, so I'd encourage you all to check out some of the completions in December's thread, and my post-mortem of the month (once I get round to writing it!). So brothers and sisters, for the Emperor or for Horus, let see some pledges!

Kor'Vesh Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 I Kor'Vesh, being of sound mind and body, and being possessed of a zeal for painting, pledge to complete Vulkan, Primarch of the Salamanders, a legion graviton rapier (no crew just yet) and a Salamanders legion apothecary in the month of January. In Vulkan's name! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301303-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-5-january/#findComment-3906194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'll have a late start though, since I'm in Asia till the 9th and class starts back up on the 12th and painting while trying to deal with a 12h jetlagg will not be fun/good for me/the mini :p But if my previous completions are anything to go by, I should get it done by the 29/30th :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301303-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-5-january/#findComment-3906351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Just gonna throw this up here to prove that they're in a not-finished state. I will admit one's got some basecoating on his arm and shield (and they're on my blag, so you can check there too).

Also, if the mail gods prevail I will have another 5-10 guys assembled by the end of the month. Hoping to make the poses dynamic and full of bling-pouches and 'nades n sheet!

Leoric Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I, Leoric, Servant of the Emperor, pledge to paint 5 Iron Hands Tactical Marines for January. Back to the saddle again! The last weeks of 2014 went with an illness, which holds me still in his grips - MORTARION!!!!! - and I'm still missing some paint supply, but hey, it's Heresy-Time! Happy new year to everyone! Kor'Vesh Can I pledge here - of course later this year - some Imperial Army elements too? I plan to make a little allied detachment from my Death Korps figures, using the rules in Conquest. I really like the Solar Auxilia figures, but I would'nt want to throw these models out because of the new toys :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301303-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-5-january/#findComment-3906908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindOfMetal Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just thought I'd post what I pledged as they are at the moment. The Thallax and one of the marines is undercoated. The Thallax is from the 6 model pledge I failed to do in November (5 of which are now painted in the last week).

Ironwrought Huw Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Here is one fully magnetised and pinned Iron Father, in preparation for undercoating. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l545/Huberticus66/10897037_1037961739562589_3658795491262432647_n_zpsb8b743e9.jpg The head has already been primed and masked off. I'll be painting him in the funky dark-oily metallic scheme FW do.

Fire Golem Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Here's my Contemptor built and primed; I am sorry for the awful photos, best I could do on my iPad, don't have a clue how to use the girlfriends camera and she's at work. I was going for the pose like the one on the FW website where it's looking down the gun, but they didn't line up. Fortunately, completely by accident, the legs ended up looking like its shoulder bashing something. I haven't glued (or completely primed) the guns because I might want to change the loadout. http://i.imgur.com/gRI9jD0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LBIzpAE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9TVTFwE.jpg I also built my Reavers, which I might pledge if I finish my Dread; http://i.imgur.com/ukerO63.jpg Again, sorry for the photos...
