Casual 30K Hobby Challenge - Month 5 - January


Kor'Vesh

Recommended Posts

Oh lord jesus, that Falchion looks awesome in white (even though I know it's only a basecoat yet). I've recently had the urging to make an elite Emperor's Children army using an inverted White and Purple, and that's sealed the deal.

January – Week Three

 

Apologies to all, this is already late, and it will be a short and sweet update!

 

We have a little under a week to go, and the competition is VERY tight this month. The last week or so has seen more tanks completed by Brother Vidius, who continues to drive the traitor's cause forward at an alarming pace, paired with further stides in the traitorous Word Bearer's force of the every reliable and inspirational Gizur. The Loyalists have been fighting strongly though, Kurama's warhound titan, Ironwrought Huw's contemptor, Landraider and Salamander's support squad (great work on this btw Huw), DimDim's amazing (barely even yellow) Imperial Fists Destroyers, Raktra's Castellax and Mind of Metal's Iron Hands have all helped to close the gap. Some serious work here guys, and very impressive.

 

Current scores

 

Pledges – Traitors 3 – 8* Loyalists

*Three additional pledges are currently at risk due to a subsequent vow being in progress

 

Score – Traitors 81 – 89 Loyalists

 

So we now have a VERY narrow lead for the loyalists based on score, but a huge lead on pledges. The loyalists have pretty much won the pledge battle, but the scores are really interesting and tight. It could go either way! Also, we're really close to 100 points for both teams - one last push guys and we can make it!

Update time!

I've made some progress on my vow today. I've completed the fourth and final Rhino:

I'm also finishing the sponsons for the Venator and it will be complete as well. Means I've got a Medusa and two Terminators left to do to complete my vow.

My next vow is no longer close to completion; it's completed.

I'll post more pics in my Adepticon prep thread.

 

My Castallax took it's first lumbering steps tonight as well so I don't foresee any any issues finishing it on time.  Cheers all. -OMG

I dont know if anyone has asked before but by god, how are you doing that glorious black?

Uuunnnggg, pressures on!

 

I'm hoping to have my last 10 marines done. My FW order has been placed so I doubt you'll see shoulderpads and I won't have the weapons done by Sunday. However, I'm hoping to have them based and ready for arming by then. It's going to be close...

OMG, I cannot like that falchion enough! Looking forward to seeing your castellax to complete your vow!

 

Can't wait for next month, got loads still to do!

You and me both Raktra (though I'll be much slower than you) - just ordered 20 more infantry, with upgrades and another tank... I will actually have an ARMY in a few days, not just a group of random models!

I sat down and started painting my Death Guard. And I've just remembered... well, I have one more free day untilI'm busy the rest of the week. I'm not going to make the challenge this time, but I would like to put down my pledge to be continued into Feburary.

That's no poroblem Leontie, just sign up when I open the Feburary thread. A shame you won't make it for Jan. Can we see some pictures of your progress anyway?

 

Slipstreams - LESS PROCRASTINATION. What would Papa Dorn say? :P

I mean, Dorn wants me in the pain glove and not fulfilling my oaths, who am I to question the orders of my Primarch? :p

 

Don't worry; I've got a bunch of 3+ hour podcasts today and tomorrow + Livestream shows so I should pound out a bunch of painting during.
