ETL IV (Propaganda, motivation and preperation Thread)

I didn't even think about my Ultramarine Praetor that I've been waiting to paint for March of Legions.

 

Can I add him to my first vow even though he is for another "event"?

 

I believe so. If you have any questions here's the thread. Just do him for him match of the legions the month you do your vow.

Marines Malevolent. And my Astral Claws (which, I admit, I still get wistful about sometimes... ). Gone to a good home, and are hopefully slaugthering Orks across Armageddon, and spitting in the face of the Imperium's Bureaucracy, respectfully

 

Alright Lord-Praetor Semper, Knight-Swordsman of the Palatine III, you're making the call, I'll take the heat. You decide what I paint, down to theindividual parts, if need be.

 

I desire redemption. Do not deny me, Sire. *shallow bow*

[fistful of dollars accent] Ok Mister, here it is: Captain Saul Tarvitz, Officer of the Emperor's Children, the Honour of his Legion! [135pts]

 

Why? Here's the rationale:

 

- not an existing mini so you have only your imagination to go with. For all I know you can work from a standard marine upwards...

- seen you do traitors, now how about loyalists? But from a Traitor Legion! :D

- weird wargear! Charnabal Broadsword? Modified Bolter to be a sniper rifle? Good luck!

- haven't seen you work Purple - would really like your take on it. More so if you dirty it representing the final stages of Isstvan III

 

So, there's your challenge! Will you accept it? :yes:

I accept. 

 

And I will be making Saul as I have always imagined him in my head, NOT from the artwork.

 

Just copying the art, in this specific instance, seems lazy on my part. I'll not have it said that i took the easy way out of penance.

OK, so in the process of building the first vow and I've lost a Tartaros miniature somewhere. That will knock my fist vow down. On the bright side I've been able to piece together a decent pile for follow up vows.

 

It's looking more like the first vow will be:

- Praetor in Cataphractii plate

- 8 Tartaros Terminators

- 9 Thunderwolf Cav (counts as outriders)

- 1 Contemptor Dread with two DCCW

 

Follow up pool:

- 5 man Cataphractii HQ squad

- 10 man Breacher squad in mk III

- 6 man Heavy Support Squad with Lascannons and Rhino

- 10 man Assault Squad in mk IV

- Predator (converted from a spare Rhino)

- 3 Drop pods

 

I have an airbrush this year for base coats, so it's not inconceivable that I'll make my way through the list and end up piecing together a last minute 10 man squad in mixed armor with my last Rhino.

 

++on a side note I'm kicking around the idea of doing a Badab war display as a "penance vow". Last years vow hurt too much to repeat in all honesty. ++

Holy crabcakes 200, that is a metric butt-load of painting for 3 months!!

 

Good luck to you, lets hope we both do the Aett proud!!

 

P.S. No talk of pennance vows, we are the Emperor's executioners and we will not fail in our duty :P

 

Btw does anyone know if armypainter's uniform grey is a good approximation for GW's standard mechanicum grey? I have a butt load to prime and I aint doing with a paint brush!!

No idea you already had something in mind for Tarvitz, chief. I await your vision with bated breath.

 

I have an... active.... imagination. And by active, I actually mean an overimagination that I have very little control sometimes, as amusing as that sounds. Every character that I've read about in a BL novel is in my head, sometimes not very different than the artwork, sometimes drastically different.

 

Saul falls in between these two extremes.

 

Thank you for the confident vote, brother. I will not disappoint.

Ok so I think I understand what you mean, but by pledging does that mean sending the models to a given location?

No. Pledging, in this context, simply means making a vow to complete painting up the models.

Yes, I will.give you my shipping address.

Naughty Wolf, naughty. Don't play silly buggers with the freshers. rolleyes.gif
