++ Casual 30K Hobby Challenge - April ++


Kor'Vesh

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!

 

I'm still here - apologies, I've been somewhat preoccupied with real-life distractions, such as trying to find full-time employment. Things are getting sorted now though, so I should have time to paint again soon. There has been some great painting on here in the last two weeks though! I'm off to log all the progress!

 

++ EDIT ++

 

Blimey. Well that was eight pages of awesome. I mean I've been keeping an eye on things, but it all looks pretty special when you look through the whole thread! A few questions first:

 

Frozenfoods - could you clarify your vow for me please? I think you pledged 20 breachers to build, but you are talking about 40 on this page, and I'm not sure how many tanks you are putting together.

DimDim - As the postal gods have frowned upon you, I have ammended you vow to just the 4 marines and the built russ.

Lanky27 - your Sallies contemptor was stunning, but you said it was finished but there were no guns. Will it get some weopons, or shall I score it without?

Nevindar - you said your apothecary was finished, but I've either missed it, or you haven't posted it. Can you stick it up here or point me in the right direction!

zedmeister - your finished alphas look great man. I've scored you for five complete marines and the shoulder pads so far. Is that correct? Its a bit hard to keep track!

depthcharge and LionofJudah - Can you guys just clarify for me how many completed models you have. I have you both down as zero, though you've clearly been busy!

palak - are you adding that contemptor to your pledge or is he just there for fun?

jeremy - where are you, you old ninja?

 

OK. I'd better do a quick break down on the scores!

 

Completed pledges

Traitors 6 - 1 Loyalists*

* with three risked by Slipstreams, ROBOcaster and Chaplain Mortis

 

Points Scored

Traitors 139.75 - 63.5 Loyalists

 

Percentage completions

Traitors 40.19% - 18.5% Loyalists

 

So in summary, the loyalists are taking a pasting, with only 7 days to go! There will need to be some serious activity to turn this one around guys!

 

The top scoring traitors are currently: Rage of Khorne with 66 points

Sup00sed with 30.5 points

palak with 12 points

 

The top scoring loyalists are currently: ROBOcaster with 18 points

 MindofMetal with 7 points

 Raktra and Ironwrought Huw, both with 6 points

 

Last push before the ETL guys, lets see some action!

I just did it for fun as when I use my airbrush I dont want to waste the cleaning coming after it ;) I have done a bit of progress on the terminators, the gold part is on it's way. I will show it at the end of the week hopefully

Blood Angel done baby! Thats a finished pledge!(due to the just and honest rule of the great Korvesh!)

I built the knife to look like a special forces Karambit, an elite and specialist weapon yet it also has a savagery behind it. (Sort of like the blood angels eh? The aesthetic of the regal 3rd legion, the honor of my VIIth, and the savagery in CQC (in certain cases) of the XIIth)

Everybody's progress is looking awesome! Here is some of my progress for my small pledge. Got some big plans for next month....

Oooo, I really like those. Very effective metallics. The hazard stripes are a nice touch too. Care to share your technique? 

Well, since Kor'Vesh was nice enough to save me the potential pain of assembling 20-30 More Tac Marines this month, my building pledges and single paint job are done with a Few Extra due to some Bitz Trading / Money Saving.

From Left to right:

 

10 Phalanx Warders. The Keen-eyed o you might be able to see how I managed to equip them with Power Axes and their Bolters (though they cant do this ruleswise v_v)

 

Reposed/Rearmed (hah!) Plasma Contemptor Dread.

 

PA Primus Medicae with a Sol Glove/ Power Fist (wasnt planned for but I had enough spare parts to put one together)

 

Banner Bearer and Sigismund Lookalike from the IF command Squad

 

TDA Primus with Thunderhammer (still trying to figure out how to model a shield onto him..) Made with a Spare Cata Preator W_P had lying about; also wasnt planned for but eh, I had the parts.

 

Deredeo Dreadnought

 

Thousand Sons Librarian for March of the Legions.

 

Chain Fist + Grav & Kheres Contemptor

 

10 Combi-Weapon Seekers using Recon Marine Bodies

 

5 Templar Brethren

 

 

That should be everything lest I forget anything!

 

Edit: I DID FORGET! Polux and the Command Squad (2 of which were posted here; the IF CS dudes) I've since added the photo of the 4 missing models.

Where once a pile of bits was laying around...now Sabik Weyland, Iron Father, arises like a mechanical and metaphorical phoenix (do not mention it to him though, might invoke slight feelings of rage in what is left of his hearts).

Also, a patchwork Dreadnought called Bombastus has been assembled. Flamestorm and Plasma cannon, Close combat weapon. Havoc launcher.

Oh and the sicaran is also assembled.

Now, since I feel like it and frankly will need it for ETL.. I will add ten Veteran Tactical Marines to assemble and nothing else.

Here we are, my pledge is complete!

First off, here's a list of what I've achieved this month. I've fully painted, weathered, based and varnished the following:

- 1 Centurion
- 3 Rapier Crewmen
- 1 Tacictal Squad Sergeant with Combi-weapon
- 4 Tactical Support Squad Troopers with Plasma Guns

In addition to these, I've also painted 15 shoulder pads for my existing 15 man Tactical squad. These 15 Marines have then been weatherd, based and varnished. So, all in all, a productive month.

 

Here's some finished photos:

The obligatory hill shot!

 

I've started lining up my next pledge:

 

- 3 Rapier Carriages with Quad Heavy Bolters

- 3 Rapier Crewmen

- 4 Tactical Squad Marines (to take my existing squad up to full strength)

Sorry, I probably didn't articulate it pretty well. Built and base coated -

39x Breacher Marines, 10x Salamanders Pyroclasts, 2x Legion Heavy Support Marine (Lascannon), 2x Legion Apothecary, 3x Legion Outrider, 9x Salamanders Firedrake, 2x Legion Armored Rhino Carrier, 5x Contemptor Dreadnought, (3x complete with arms, 2x awaiting the order from FW) 1x Legion Spartan Assault Tank, 1x Sicarian Venator Tank Destroyer, and 1x Sicarian Battle Tank (which I am working on a conversion for, but that's still in progress.)

I'll get some up close shots of each unit tomorrow when it's not pitch black and I can actually get up close without casting shadow over everything, lol.

Such great work guys!

 

Frozen foods - now that is a pile of progress. Great work, and awesome army.

Zed - that is a fantastic group of alphas. Amazing work, and I love the bases too.

DimDim - love the blood angel, the knife is great. I really enjoy seeing your work mate, every piece feels like it has its own personality, as you put a lot into them.

Slips - great build sir. You are a machine. Can't wait to see it turn yellow in the next few months.

OMG - an awesome model, and you are doing it justice as ever.

Dantioch - I love your scheme - it seems really simple, but you control it brilliantly for awesome results. The hazard helmets are always a winner :)

Lion - great progress - will you get them done?

Nevindar - great conversion... He has menace!

 

Anyway, my next three salamanders are pretty much base coated, so I might finish. Hopefully get some pictures up later!

Wow, such nice minis all along these pages !

 

I feel a bit ashamed to show my work which is really basic. Painting is clearly not my area of expertise, and it shows... But anyway, here are the pictures of my pledge which is finally done ! 5 Imperial Fists Templar that can now join their 5 others brothers in the heat of battle!

PS : my apologies for these pictures that are not excellent but I don't have the time now to get better ones. I'll do that next week after a few days off.

kydoimos sir I would say you have nothing to be ashamed of you're painting certainly trumps my own, and getting well focused pics that don't blow out you're colours is a deamon I think everyone here has battled so don't sweat it.

 

those are some beefy looking templar fella great job very motivating

Compliance

I come before you with great tidings. The warp storms that tore asunder the empire of old have receded, and the Emperor has unified the nations of the cradle system. Terra is now at the heart of a new golden age of mankind, a new imperium that will last until the stars flicker their last and die.

You have th great privilege of joining this blossoming new era, for I come before you with a writ of compliance. All you need to do is sign your name.

And remember we come in peace.

My pledge is done.

The lighting is bad at the moment and I can't find my digital camera, so the :cusss are all over exposed iPhone pics. Will make some new ones tomorrow.

Now for some close ups
The delagatus

His command squad

I have actually forgotten to give them their ranged weapons (bolter or volkite), since they will probably be charging into glory combat it shouldn't be a problem.

The terminators
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Pre%20heresy%20Emperors%20Children/image.jpg5_zps8ulutorz.jpg

I have managed this month to build a legal army, of 1264pts, for my delagatus to lead!

So here is the whole delegation

And remember....... We come in peace
