zedmeister Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Overdue for a status report. Alpha Legion Done all I can this month. They are missing shoulder pads and, although I have some, I am waiting for my Forgeworld order for the majority of the rest of them so there's nothing else I can do with them at this time. Here they are, ready for combat: http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/hh/AL-Progress-090215.jpg These boys will feature again in the next month as there's the missing pads and weathering to be done. White Scars So close, it's going to be hairy getting these finished for Friday. Only thing left to do is a some painting tidy up and transfers. Again, weathering will next month. Here's a sight you don't see. White Scars boarding Marines! http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/hh/WhiteScars-240215.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302868-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-6-february/page/12/#findComment-3961208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Golem Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Zedmeister, can I ask how you painted your Alpha Legion? They look pretty damn good. Nice white on your WS too.

depthcharge12 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I wish I could grow a beard as neckly as that... And I see that royalty has graced us. Years of inbreeding will do that to your face.

Kor'Vesh Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 February Week 3 (and a bit) - Update Hello children of the Heresy! Well, things may have just become interesting in our little competition. The last few days have seen a rather impressive traitor surge, and despite their low numbers, they are threatening the loyalist camp! Progress Week three has seen five completed pledges for the traitors, most impressively with Khârn the Bloody completing fifteen tactical marines for his World Eaters, with suitable levels of gore and splatter. Adding these guys to his previous five red butchers gives an impressive 25 point vow to Horus’ cause. Zedmeister also completed his ten alpha legionaries, plus remaining weapons (I’ve ruled the Alpha's complete now, as docking points for undelivered shoulder pads is a PITA!), securing 11 more points for the heretics. With further completions from Slipstreams, Raktra (Kor Phillip is here), and a brutally weathered IVth legion contemptor from Chaplain Mortis, the traitors really are on the march. In the loyalist camp the shattered legions maintained their strong showing, with the Salamanders coming to the fore this week. The ever reliable Atia completed her 5 pyroclasts and classy Numeon conversion. Twisty also joined the party with an excellent command squad (loving the banner chief!). *Insert excuses for Kor’Vesh here*. The Xth continue to dominate though, with OMG adding his weight to the push, with the completion of his second vow - an apothecary and Iron Father, each packing a Martian Death Ray. He was ably supported by his Xth Legion brother ROBOcaster, who finalised his vow with an impressive Sicaran and a Gorgon terminator squad – a total of 26 points for ROBOcaster, just beating Khârn the Bloody into second place as most impressive newcomer (MoM still holds this month’s biggest completed vow, with 27 points)! Finally, we saw Kurama complete his Ultramarines recon marines (along with ALL the scenery) and an imposing Spartan from Slipstreams. So the overall standings are as follows: Pledges – Traitors 5 – 10 Loyalists Score – Traitors 50 – 119 Loyalists New for Feb - Percentages! Seeing as the teams are SO assymetrical, let judge the teams based on their successful completion of vows... Percentage of pledged score - Traitors 56.2% - 41.9% Loyalists That’s right, in absolute terms, the loyalists are way out in front, BUT the traitors have kept their honour. They have completed a significantly higher proportion of their pledged points than the loyalists… time to pull our fingers out! That's it for now guys and girls, three days to go, don’t give the traitors a moral victory!

MindOfMetal Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Would be so tempted to add another pledge, if I wasn't worried about being able to complete it in time.

ROBOcaster Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I lost by one point?! Not in my house! @MindOfMetal I will have my revenge in this month or the next. I think a little Clan feud has just been started. Ferrus Manus would be proud.

ROBOcaster Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Awesome work so far @ all =) @ROBOcaster: what did you use for the LC's? Indomitus or Tartarus hands? Sorry I think I forgot to reply to this when you posted it but I used Tartarus, I had to do some conversion as the shoulder pads didn't fit quite right or in the same place for that matter, but with some green-stuff everything worked out fine.

chaplain mortis Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Excellent write up Kor'Vesh...always a pleasure to read :-) And a moral victory is still a victory haha.. So tempted to pledge another contemptor to this month, less than 3 days it might have to wait to bolster the points for nxt month.

Leoric Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Greetings!I had a terrible last week, the whole family fell ill - nice birthday gift for me - still not as healthy as we want to be :-(Then a mate, whom we played a historical game, decided to sell away his collection, which was stomach cutting, as I could rely only on him to play with. So now I have a big collection, but without any chance to play with it. :SFinally I managed to paint up my vow for this month - five Iron Hands ready to punch some traitor faces. OK, I made a picture (tried jpg), but there is an error message: "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." Did anyone got this too?

Slips Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 3/5 models done! This achilles was surprisingly fast to paint, only 2 hours. Problem is, I've run out of Averland Sunset basecoat! So there will probably be no more yellow on my Two last tanks. Luckily for me, the Phobos I pledged is my Sigismunds Ride! So it along with the Sicarian will be painted in Templar Colors / Black Imperial Fists WOO! Look at that lazy weathering!
