Kor'Vesh Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Amazing progress from everyone over Easter guys! Just looked over all the vows, and there are only 12 points betweem the loyalist and traitor team pledges this month! That's by far the most even distribution we've had in ages. I'll post a summary of teams and pledges tomorrow, can I get a couple of clarrification first though? Slips - I've not counted your 30 extra marines to built as pledged yet as you seemed uncertain... OK? Poom - I've put you down as a traitor based on your world eater avatar - hope that is right! defl0 - You are down for loyalist Raven Guard. Correct? gianlucafiorentini123 - I've split your vow, 5 Imperial fists are loyalist, the rest traitor. Is this OK?

zedmeister Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 BIt late in making the pledge. Missed out last month as I was in assembly mode. Anyway, The White Scars will have to wait till I find my muse. Instead, I pledge the following towards just the Alpha Legion this time: - 1 Sergeant for my 15 man Tactical Squad bringing it to 16. Will do the final 4 in the next month or so. - 4 Marines with Plasma Guns (ready for a tactical support squad with Plasma Guns which are assembled for another month) - 1 Centurion - 3 Rapier Crewmen (Ready for a Rapier Battery with Quad Heavy Bolters, again assembled for another month) - The missing 15 Shoulder pads from my earlier pledges (finally!) - Weathering my 15 existing Legionnaires plus the nine pledged above Bit of a hodge podge this month, but I want to get these all finished, weathered, sealed and glass cabinet'd ready for my next pledge. In fact, I've got quite far with this lot. They're all over half way though completion. Managed to get a lot more done this Easter than I thought. Will try to get you photographs shortly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305419-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-april/page/5/#findComment-4000187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 @Kor'Vesh, yeah thats cool. Though I did out together my 2 contemptors, Polux and 10 warders yesterday so all ive got left are 5 more templar (which i forgot to mention), 10 seekers, my deredeo and the actually 20 tac marines (i had 20 built already but kept forgetting that LOL) Id rather take it in smaller chunks that way i dont have to go into a building frenzy if i ever lack time due to stuff popping up! Thanks! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305419-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-april/page/5/#findComment-4000419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimDim Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Been working on my fallen brother, and he's almost finished! (no decals or blood splatter yet) I went with fists just because it gave me extra practice to refine my yellow, and the blood splatter would show up better on yellow than red.

spu00sed Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Luckily for my bank balance I didn't forget a titan. I had thought I had swapped out the outriders for something else. I have managed to complete the building of 5 terminators part of my pledge. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Pre%20heresy%20Emperors%20Children/image.jpg1_zpspy6miij7.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Pre%20heresy%20Emperors%20Children/image.jpg2_zps07ckveu8.jpg The sergeants combi volkite grenade launcher is a count as grenade harness.

Dantioch Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Everybody's work so far is looking amazing, completely forgot to vote last month but I have made some progress on this months vow. I might be making another vow after the 20th @Raktra and @ROBOcaster- Both your Gorgon terminators are looking incredible, its a shame they would be ground beneath the feet of a Legion made of stronger iron haha @chaplain mortis- Are you abandoning the will of the Lord of Iron? haha, Your Ultra's are looking incredible! Are you planning a bigger force? http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/photo%2031_zpsj3shpmrd.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305419-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-april/page/5/#findComment-4000939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I frigging hate the mail. I was hoping today my Huron model would come in so I could start modeling my praetor, and I stood vigilantly waiting for it to come. I saw the UPS truck go through my neighborhood. But my model was not there. Then the mailman came...and he only put letters in my mailbox. But wait!!! He took out a small box! Could it be?! Did I get it?! Then I looked at the box and it was for my mom.

Palak Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 @ lionofjudah they are definitely NL ;) Even if I wish i could have as much color palette as the ultramarines for painting. Here is small update, bases done.

DimDim Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 My. Life. EDIT: hey Kor, could you add a tac marine and a loyal DG consul up to be painted? the boredom has yet to subside from the waiting on my package. You could say I got a tad bit excited, Im trying for a dark and weathered look without chipping, and have experimented with black pigment slightly thinned to "black line" the deepest recesses of the fig essentially creating my own shadows. Ive also been glazing the large yellow surfaces with brown and black to darken in order to bring the MK4 gear more in line with the amount of black my MK3 and pure 2's have to keep them looking the same. The mk4 just seemed to shiny. Of course no decals or varnish yet as per the usual dreading decals guy I am. @Dantioch, I really love the combo of pieces on the marine to the left. Absolutely sweet! @Mortis, excellent as always but im going to be the odd one out here. While I love the blue, I really dont like the "primer" red you use for chipping. I know its a realistic colour (and a tad late to bring up as youve painted three), but i just feel like it clashes to heavily with how excellent that blue really is. Maybe off shoot it with another cool colour to complement the blue, like a white on the shoulder pads, or like in the vox guy you just keep it to a minimum. Hes my fav so far! DimDim out!

Kor'Vesh Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 April – Week one Well, the first week of April has been interesting! There has been a slight calming of pledges from the regulars, who are prepping for the ETL, and a matching increase in building pledges. Having said that, we also have lots of new members, some with some big pledges. Furthermore, the competition itself is excting because, for the first time in a long while, we have an EVEN COMPETITION between traitors and loyalists. First up, a big welcome to our new players poom, bscube, Athrawes, Aias, Tychi, palak, gianlucafiorentini123, depthcharge12, Lanky27, defl0, kriegriss, kydoimos and wolfpack. Awesome to have so many new players in the game. Do your teams proud Fraters! Current Pledged Scores: Traitors 291 – 294 Loyalists As you can see, things are very close for a change, so we really do have a big competition on our hands for a change! No clan war is required this month, so we are playing it straight. I’ll keep an eye on the Iron Hands and Imperial Fist champions though, as they are our best represented legions.

This is almost entirely down to the work of ROBOcaster, who has completed an eighteen point vow, including 5 excellent gorgons, in week 1. We’ve also seen small vows completed by Slipstreams, with an excellent Thousand Sons librarian, and three battered but defiant ultramarines from the ever impressive Chaplain Mortis. Other completed models in the loyalist team were delivered by Raktra, with the first of his Gorgons, MoM, with two imposing Raven Guard veterans, DimDim’s constructed Leman Russ and my own (Kor’Vesh) three Salamanders (they will be shown shortly!). Traitor progress has been driven by palak, who completed a void shield generator and wall of martyrs in week one, and is well into the painting of 25 cataphractii (yes 25 cataphractii… all at once). The remaining points were secured by Sup00sed, who successfully built 5 terminators in week one, and has painted the purple for his entire IIIrd legion vow. Hopefully there is a lot more progress to come! Good luck guys!

Kor'Vesh Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well here are my first three marines - the product of Easter weekend. http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad231/KorVesh/sallie1_zpskcwqy2m2.jpg http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad231/KorVesh/sallie3_zpsvkhcdmiu.jpg http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad231/KorVesh/sallie2_zpsvbx88qtv.jpg DimDim - the yellow on that MKIV marine is awesome. I love your Fists man. Mortis - Really impressive stuff again sir. I actually really like the the weathering on them - they look a little battered, but unbowed. I feel like it is recent battle damage and wear, where as the wear on you IVth looks more like the prolonged degreadation over many campaigns. Palak - I can't believe you are painting 25 cataphractii at once! Its scarily impressive, especially when I'm proud of myself for working in batches of 3!

spu00sed Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've finished the building part of my pledge, which means I need to get back to the painting side. 3 outriders with dual plasma guns, power sword on the sergeant and a vexilla http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Pre%20heresy%20Emperors%20Children/image.jpg1_zpsxsi4omon.jpg Delagatus with phoenix spear, volkite serpenta, laurels to represent his authority and a scroll. For the planetary leader to sign or be beaten to death with. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Pre%20heresy%20Emperors%20Children/image.jpg2_zps4oeili0r.jpg Still got a dozen marines to build, but I'm waiting on a saw to arrive in the post, so won't be adding them to my pledge until I have painted what I already have.
