OK - First up, some evidence of my completions this month! My building pledge is complete, and I just have some flames to finish up on my Rhino - it will be done in time!

Here is my Sergant, and one of the guys I'm quite pleased with. Lots of mixed armour parts going on here, and I think it works well.

I've just opened up the HALL OF VICTORS thread that I mentioned a while back. I'll be posting some army shots there soon so you can see my progress since the challenge started (and my nearly complete Rhino) Please get posting your own army shots guys!

 

I actually managed two game yesterday, successfully defending some phosphex reserves from the Death guard, and then crushing them in my own offensive. My new Predator Executioner really did shine, as did my pyroclasts in a (proxyed scouting Land Raider Proteus)!

 

Amazing progress from everyone here in the last week.

Mortis - the dreads look stunning together.

Love the Mara Ghal too Deamonclaw.

Castiel - its great to see more progress on your Sallies brother - have you got a macro mode on your camera though, as it would be great to see them in a bit better focus!

Sup00sed - glad to have you more motivated - cool knight conversion too! Adra'Melek I really love your Infernal Guard! Thanks for showing off the preator - will you get the dreadnought done? It must be close.

Rage - great to hear a battle report, even better to see another version of that stunning Horus model. Great painting this month man.

Lion - if its a devilervy issue with the pads, don't worry. Finah what you can and we'll knock a couple of points off, but consider it complete.

Black_out - Great job on Sevetar. Well worth the wait!

 

Last push for the month now guys. Things are still very close on percentage completions, but there is plenty more scope for a lot more points for both teams!

Wooo, sweet looking Salamanders, brother!

 

I don't know, I've just been using the one on my phone, I'll need to have a look and see. I might also try using my laptops webcam and see if that's any better. Should hopefully complete my pledge this month!

 

Hey Kor'Vesh, unfortunately I'm still waiting for FW to send out the missing legs for the rest of my 5 marine pledge so I don't think I will be able to finish that part of my pledge :(

 

Anything you could swap in instead?

I don't think I would be able to get anything ready in time, I should get my Deredeo done though.

I'll need to live in shame this month and attempt to redeem myself in the coming months

Here's an update - just to allay any doubts that I may not complete in-time.  Here's the first mailed boot on the battlefield:

Note that this is still very WIP.  The rest of him will be along shortly.

 

Also, for next month, I have a good number of models in the mail.  That includes the units needed for my EC list + the Pravian + 2 more Castallax that I indent to add to my Iron Hands.  I really want to field that list so I'm sure it will be a motivating factor.  I also have been dabbling with the Spartan & Gorgons for the Apoc list.  I know I can't out paint my IH clansmen bothers this month but it most certainly won't be the last.

 

Cheers all, -OMG

Such a tease OMG! Looking great already. Is that a transfer on the shoulder pad of the dead iron hand, an if so what of? If not I think your free hand skills went through the roof!

 

Dantioch - shame about the legs man, but finish the Deredo and you won't have to worry about shame!

Well, I did it. On the forth (or fifth?) attempt. I have completed a pledge. May I present Sorruk Vasha, Dreadnought of the XIIIth Chapter of 'Thermis' IIIrd Circle of the 'Infernal Guard' XIVth Legion

Holy poop on a stick. This thread really delivers... Once again, I find myself running out of likes and wishing that I could see these guys on the other side of a battlefield.

This is a bit of a tough one for me, especially in light of the quality of work that I find my Fire Raptor surrounded by. Back at the start of the month, after I'd decided to work on the Fire Raptor, I put through an order to Secret Weapon for a base and some other bits and pieces. Unfortunately, and through no fault of the guys at Secret Weapon who are all fantastic, this order got shipped to Canada, and has spent the last two weeks in Canadian Customs where I assume someone was trying to figure out what to do with it, since it had no business being in Canada.

I can only guess that this is somehow all part of Slipstream's diabolical plan to own all of the resin gaming products in the world.

My order is now in New York, and while it may make it to me before Wednesday, it's highly unlikely, which means that while it's completely painted and done, my Fire Raptor remains frustratingly unbased.

The other irritating thing is that this thing is far, far too big for my tiny little psuedo-lightbox, so I took these pictures yesterday while the sun was out.

Also, for those wondering or interested, those Chapter symbols on the sides are Rhino-sized rather than Land Raider sized. The Land Raider ones are way too big and hang over the edge of the fuselage.

I also found it to be a really good kit to put together, but the only thing I would say is that the side-guns/turrets/whatever-they're-called are a pain in the backside to put in once you've build the whole thing. Lots of fiddling and cursing.

Anyway... Congratulations all for another great month of the Hobby Challenge! Bring on April!

Such a tease OMG! Looking great already. Is that a transfer on the shoulder pad of the dead iron hand, an if so what of? If not I think your free hand skills went through the roof!

 

Yes, it's a transfer but one that I custom made from various scanned images captured from all kinds of sources.  When I dig into the EC complement to this army I'll most likely revisit the ED pads on this model also.

 

Cheers, -OMG

Nice transfer OMG... Stru and the raptor... Im looking forward to painting mine for Aprils vow :)Yours is an inspiration in clean lines!

Kor...Im liking your sallies!! Looking forward to seeing you paint those beauties up!

stellar work guys ,i am positively salivating to see what you guys are saving for the ETLwub.png

and while i have done pretty meagre pledge for this thread i have now finished the ashen circle(more pix in my thread)

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag69/daemonclaw69/356558b2-f546-4883-a503-d50d037c2ef7_zpsolgrjl3l.jpg

thanx for the support in this thread guys ,this is a very friendly and inviting forum and a great place to view great work

and thanx kor 'vesh for your hard work here

Abaddon finished for this month. Not entirely happy with it as some of the detailing is missing that only became apparent during painting. Not a fan of buying from eBay anymore :(

 

Impressive minis in this thread. But has any one built a spartan? Thinking of adding it to my SoH. That fire raptor is alluring though.

He looks great RichMarine - what detail is missing?

 

Rage - consider Fulgrim pledged. You are mad, but in the best possible way :)

 

Mortis - thanks man. It will take me ages to paint them, but I'm enjoying every little bit I do. I was indeed at warhammer world this weekend, with a buddy of mine from back home. It was good fun, and nice to give my sallies a rare outing. I may have accidentally bought more stuff while there too... No postage means it was a bargain, right? I'd certainly be up for another visit in the future - would be good to organise something with a few folks on here!

 

Daemonclaw - those ashen circle look stunning. I love the hazard stripes (I am a bit of a stripe fan though) arond the jump packs. Pretty decent month's work on your part if you ask me!

 

My rhino is done now, pics in the morning. Looking forward to the last push tomorrow - I believe Slipstreams still owes us a couple of models, and two primarchs are inbound!

 

Also, stick your army shots up in the hall of victors if you have them guys, and Start thinking who you'd like to vote for as you favourite pledges in each team too. It's a tough choice this month!

Impressive minis in this thread. But has any one built a spartan? Thinking of adding it to my SoH. That fire raptor is alluring though. 

I have semi-assembled a spartan, then deconstructed it and am now waiting to rebuild it again. Its a pain in the rear to build, but I don't believe the fire raptor is any better. Lovely kits once they're done though, worth the blood, sweat and tears.

Yes I do Kor'Vesh! 2 Rhinos will suddenly spring into painted existence tonight!

 

@richmarine: I hope you have a lot of patience: i built a spartan and it took me 2-3 hours for that thing alone. Awesome heavy brick of resin when its all done though. Totally worth it.
