++// 2015 Augustus' Arena \\++ EVENT ENDED


Recommended Posts

I, FortesMastery step into Augustus' Arena with pride and hereby proclaim my participation. I will be issuing a challenge and expect to be challenged in return - PM me beforehand so you know what I can accept.

 

I, FortesMastery, challenge Tenebris to build, paint, and base Three, no more no less, Grey Knight Terminators . If he accepts and completes the challenge, eternal glory will be his. If he accepts and fails, he shall wear the badge of shame until Midsummer.

Will fix anything in this once I have a computer and not my phone.

Update 1

 

Bitz orders arrive a lot sooner than I though & spent a bit of time after dinner converting up a mini Diorama.  It just due to after this week it going to be pretty busy.

 

I've been challenge challenge by dosjetka to paint Imperial Fist Sergeant.  There only one true way & that having them on a base & slaugher by the true master of siege war - the IV Legion.
 

 

@Insane Psychopath: Another challenge accepted, but don't forget to include both a deadline and a penalty, mate.

 

 

I, Insane Psychopath, accept the challenge set to me by Dosjetka and vow that I will finish building, painting, and basing Imperial Fist Sergea before - April 5th. Completion will earn me eternal glory, while failure shall yield me shame until Midsummer

 

 

 

Didn't specify whether he had to be represented alive...

 

That was fully intentional :teehee:

 

 

There is only one & true way to do this, all for the glory of the IV Legion :biggrin.:

 

 

So here +First Blood+.  I'm also base this on a really great game I have back in Spet 2013 during Throne of Skulls when I fought Dave & his Imperial Fist in round 4, first game of day 1.  Just talk to Dave over on facebook, how he painted his own Imperial Fist & rememeber how great the game is & being among the top games of Warhammer 40,000.

 

Since building the model I also though it would be cool to use this to mark First Blood in games.  Just for me, I can forget from time to time about this or other thing, like Warlord traits when your to focuse in the game.  I find having marker help out like the Familiar marker for my recent Terminators Sorcerer Lord or just thing like psychic card really help out remind me.

Here photos from ToS Sept with my game vs Dave IF army, that this will be base upon.
In the game there was a epic part with a lone IW & a lone IF pretty much duel it out with Melta from turn 2-5, turn 5 seen both of them slay each other by close combat.

I've still to add purity seal to the IF armour & few other things.  So quickly get that done during some point tomorrow & so the model ready for painting this week.

I, Tenebris, accept the challenge set to me by FortresMastery, and vow that I will finish building, painting, and basing three Grey Knights Terminators before April 15th. Completion will earn me eternal glory, while failure shall yield me shame until Midsummer.

Last-minute challenges being made! Excellent! Except one, everyone has now been challenged.

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

 

As always, please check the updated list of challenges. I'm human, I make mistakes. Don't flay me, just drop me a PM and I'll fix it. :tu:

 

I accept the challenge of FortesMastery. The proper form will be provided tomorrow (typing on the tablet). As a Chaos Lord I accept every challenge!

 

Tenebris, I need a deadline for your acceptance mate!

 

AS THE DEADLINE HAS PAST, I HEREWITH CLOSE THE ARENA TO NEW PARTICIPANTS.

Well I got tired of hand priming after my first guy of this competition, and decided to get some spray primer so when I was visiting my dad I could prime and we could paint our respective models together. 

 

It was a good thing I did, because it basically boosted my motivation and speed up significantly. 

 

Well, while I was at it, I also bought some Mephiston Red (up until this point, the only paints I had were three years old, and ALL of them were the old paint line, so my first guy that I did was in Blood Red with a Red Ink from when they still made those).

 

I absolutely love the Mephiston Red, it goes on so much better, looks way smoother (so the Red Ink over it is also smoother and better), and I'm generally ecstatic about the way it looks. But... since it is darker than my blood red... these guys don't match my others :(

 

Luckily to me it's not that big of a deal, and I plan on phasing a lot of my older guys out with newer guys (many are old ebay models that started off bad, and so were patched up bad), but since even my first guy I'm doing for this challenge was painted with Blood Red, it was a setback for me. It made me really wish I waited to do my Sergeant last (since he is my favorite model). Luckily a light layer did make him look better, but still.

 

Anyways, not much of an update, but that's where I stand. I'll post pictures of where I am with them tomorrow.

@Midnight Runner: Ooooh some eerie blue-faced, red-crossed awesomeness. :happy.:

@Nusqam: I can't really see much detail, but it looks like a down-to-earth, weathered armour. Also: are those the cool mini's by Puppets Wars?
