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


Recommended Posts

So, good news and bad news.  The good news: I finished painting 10 Neophytes, with an hour to spare on my personal deadline!

I can hear you saying now, "Wow Firepower, that's awfully blurry...but I can only see 8."

 

Well, yes it is blurry, and it is only 8.  A funny thing happened.  And by funny I mean the sort that makes you wanna run into on coming traffic.

2 completed Shotgun Neophytes....with mismatched arms.  Yes, at some point, the wrong pairs of arms were put on to the assembly line.  I got to discover this little gem in the gluing process, with much chagrin (and even more profanity).  They simply can't be put together.

 

Regardless, I'm counting this as "completed."  Tzeentch and Murphy got together and played a little joke on me, but only after I did everything that was required to fulfill my obligation.  This should also explain the blurry pic: between anger and a cramped up painting hand, I didn't have the patience to take a decent picture with what time I have left tonight. :furious:

 

So!  Tomorrow, high quality (by my usual standards at least) pics of the 8, and I begin a hurried painting of corrected arms.

 

But for now, challenge met and complete, so far as I'm concerned.  And despite my urgent rush job of Shotgun arms in the next 1 or 2 days (probably 2, my hand is killing me), I am open to another challenge for round 2.

 

Now I'm off to drown my sorrows and hit something.

Finally finished! Seeing as I'm never able to finish anything this challenge was great as it made me push myself to actually finish a unit, basing and all. 

 

Tried out some new techniques for snow which was really fun.

Cool scouts, Firepower. Nice painting, but not sure about the eyes. Even with those small pics, they look like they're rocking heavy eye liner. Then again, I don't even try to paint my guys' eyes, so what do I know? :laugh.:

 

Hrnng...Neophytes.  Not Scouts.  Damn Codex.

 

And yeah, you're right.  On many of them I painted the eyes before the skin, which left me avoiding the edges as I painted the face itself.  The result was some very severe edging.  The one with the mohawk in particular has some really dark rims, but I think it makes him look more deranged than Kiss-like. :lol:  There are close ups of them in my blog, one or two pages back.

So when do the second round of challenges start?

 

Seconded. I have re-donned my "bring it on" banner for the next set of challenges! 

 

It looks like there are several people on the list of accepted challenges that needs an update and with the first set of challenges wrapped up now (or in the last steps) this is the perfect time to clean that up and get a new list of people waiting for challenges up.

So someone please tell me it's still the 15th March somewhere in the world? I failed to get this guy painted on time but I did only start painting him at 22:30 GMT ive gotten to the stage where if I keep painting now I'm gonna screw it up big style as my eyes are gritty as hell. He's so close to being done but I shall wear my banner of shame.

HEREWITH, THE MARCH 15th DEADLINE IS CLOSED!!!!

 

It's well past midnight CET now. I am happy and proud to see there's been an enormous amount of activity in the last couple of days, and almost everyone has made their deadline. Replies to those who have finished in the last three days:

 

 

@AndrewChristlieb. That's an awesome Dark Apostle Chaplain Helbrecht mate :wink: Congrats on the finish and I'm glad Lucio was of such good help.

@Barrabas Sogolan: Another contemptor completion - gotta love those, and yours is looking smashing. And with a very original colour scheme to boot.

 

@Biohazard: DUUUUUDE! Krautscientist wasn't lying when he mentioned how incredibly imposing that lord is, and you've done him killer justice. :thumbsup:

@Bushman101: A solid finish for you mate, I hope the event proved fruitful in terms of feedback :biggrin.:

@Dolchiate Remembrancer: nice painting on the command squad there. A deserved finish. Also: good posing!

@Firepower: Very nice squad there, Firepower. I'm glad you got the mandatory WIP shot in last minute. Don't worry about the stupid shotgun arms, we'll call it a completion! :thumbsup:

@helterskelter: Awesome, awesome, awesome. Truly worth the VIII Legion. That branched lightning effect turned out really well!

@Kapturowski: Well done mate, and a deadline too early even! That's a very neat squat of the coolest guard legion there is.

@Kierdale: WOW! A very original and technically challenging model there, which you can be rightly proud of. I'm totally stealing that idea for my Deltrian model, just so you know.

 

+++++++++++++++++++

 

Wow! So many awesome completions. I am truly amazed by the quality and the participation of the many frater. There's even some very early completions of frater who vowed to finish before the April 5th deadline, but who managed to complete super early. So who finished??

All of the following Frater have earned the right to bear the BADGE OF THE VICTOR.

As always, there's options for 40K Chaos and Imperial and for 30K Traitor and Loyalist, as well as medallions for all four options.

In addition, the above-mentioned frater have earned the right to challenge and be challenged a second time.

I also have the sad task of reprimanding those who have been lacks in their duties, to shame those who have not finished their challenge. It is a sad day for them. :sad.:

Until you are redeemed withing the Arena or until midsummer, bearing the MEA CULPA shall be witness to your shame and proclaim your penitence:

However, there is a chance for them to redeem themselves: Finish your vow before the April 5th deadline and you can challenge and be challenged again. If you finish that second challenge before the next, April 19th deadline, you shall be redeemed and may bear the badge of the victor.

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Augustus, thank you. I look forward to seeing this Deltrian of yours.

 

The next few models I have to do are probably not B&C-friendly so I'm not available to be challenged again.

I do look forward to seeing others' work though!
