our_baz Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 SUPER HEAVY RACE! I need to get back to mine but my free time keeps getting used which is most rude Feel I'm missing out here on the Super Heavies...as I'm without one. If I paint six ogryns holding up a Chimera would that count as Super Heavy? Think I'm also way behind on preparing for this ETL. A visit from Papa Nurgle to the our_baz household has put my behind in my preparations. Out of interest guys do you all have an idea of what you want to paint? Or is it more ad hoc depending on life etc? Personally I've lined up 1000 pts of infantry I would like to do commit to vows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I don't think that counts baz... :P Aside from my Shadowsword the rest is very much dependant on how much time I can get. I think that's a good way of doing things anyway, as the event and vows go on you get less theoretical time to use so best start out big and work your way down, changing the order as your circumstances dictate. So in short; I'll paint as much as I can think I'll get away with in the time frame ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am planning a vehicular painting queue blow out ;) Baneblade, 3 Medusa/Basilisk, Wyvern/Hydra then I will see how much time I will have left for a Russ or two... The listed ones will all be primed by the weekend :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it more ad hoc depending on life etc? Personally I've lined up 1000 pts of infantry I would like to do commit to vows. Well I'm still expecting one more "bitz" delivery sometime next week and I'll have to either grab some more of army painters spay cans(or splash out on an airbrush/compressor combo). After that ill have everything needed for my vow. I won't start any work on models until mid June(till I get my own place again) so It will be all guns blazing after that. On the plus side I'm doing no infantry this year only tanks and aircraft(managed to assemble and finish a stormlord pretty sharpish for the treads n thrusters challenge)www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289139-dans-death-korps/page-2 So far I've a super heavy(not sure which variant yet), leman Russ destroyer, leman russ vanquisher, FW tank destroyer, FW Bombard(most excited about this bad boy) Fw valk GW valk Fw Vulture gunship Once it's all assembled and primed im fairly confident I'll get it all done.

+DAN+ Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Only fairly confident? :P Well if I get it all to base coat level by the first week of July I'll finish the lot......Hope the Commissar is satisfied with my response ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The commissariat will only be satisfied with completed vows, so you'll have prove your mettle on the battlefield! Victory needs no explanation; defeat allows none... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Wait a second. An Imperial Knight is a Super-Heavy. Y'all are having a Super-Heavy Race. I'm building a Knight...I'm in the race! Yay! I'm popular ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 As Lord Commissar WarriorFish states... The Commissariat expects every Guardsman who submits a vow to the ETL to not fail his duty to The God Emperor of Mankind. The vow must be completed for the honour of their Regiment and this Forum. The Commissariat will be taking a dim view of failures and disciplinary action will be taken as required. Let us try for 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm looking forward to this, everyone knows what that means right? If you thought the commissariat was everywhere before... ;) I won't be satisfied until we make that 100%. If that means people start seeing commissars in their dreams then so be it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Maybe, if I can find the time, I'll finally get my Carapace Armoured Lord Commissar built for the challenge. You can bet he'll be making Pew Pew Pew sounds ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That depends on if they complete all their vows or not I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatmandoo Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Baneblade and maybe a Russ here. Possibly infantry if I have some extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'll be entering the Super Heavy race with a Macharius Vanquisher and a Baneblade. The Greater Good shall not be outdone! I've organised my painting queue into Waves. Wave one is a Destroyer Tank Hunter, Eradicator, and the aforementioned Superheavies. Wave two is a few Sentinels, Hellhounds and possibly a Valkyrie. Third wave is my Artillery of two Manticores and two Wyverns. I'm just going to see how much I can blitz over the Summer! There's much that's been sitting for a while, and I'm aiming to get the bulk of my force painted for another big Apocalypse game later in the year. Hoping to make a lot of progress and represent the Guard forum well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I've got some Ratlings lined up for a quick vow too once I've stripped them. What makes a vow good is now what you pledge, but what you complete after all. That's the true mark of a sucker :P Just a week to go already! Time to get a move on with preparation work...

Toxichobbit Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I have a super heavy that I could potentially paint, but I'm still putting off really getting to grips with my airbrush and tackling vehicles, so although I'd love to get it done it's a definite maybe. Aside from that I have 2-3 one model vows planned for later on in the event. I might also start with a one model vow to get the ball rolling. Stuff like Lord Commissar, Primaris Psyker, Enginseers etc is perfect for small vows that don't take up too much time and are easy to complete. I want to get a regimental Command Squad done for my Cadians. I've already painted Lord Snooty, so he needs a squad to go with them. Obviously I'd need to do a new officer for it. Conveniently I have Creed and Kell wanting to be painted, so they'll be added alongside the full allotment of Regimental Advisors and as it's a Regimental Command Squad it'll get all the bells and whistles (Medic, Vox, special weapon). If I don't do the Baneblade I'm considering an Ogryn/Bullgryn Squad. Or I might do them alongside or instead of one of my one model vows. I also have some Kasrkin that need stripping and re-painting to match my newer Cadians. Plenty of choices, I just need to make sure it's all prepared and that I do a solid amount of work every day towards the start of the event when I'm at my most enthusiastic.

WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This is what I like to hear comrades. Good and careful planning so we can hit 100% completion I have ordered a nice Dremel for my nefarious needs along with a stash of magnets that should see me magnetising everything and anything for the foreseeable future. Also somehow a Demolisher managed to fall into my basket. Not sure how that happened, probably the Emperor's will? Another vow option can be no bad thing All should be arriving next week so it's just a matter of squeezing in as much preparation work as I can before Friday!

Father Mehman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 So the Model Fairy came to me today and, in a gruff voice, told me to buy some Ogryns. I told her that was fine and then proceeded to buy them. She then whacked me upside the head with a can of primer ! So rude, that fairy! Anyway, with the rumours of new Knights on the way, I'm giddy like a schoolgirl waiting for The Doors to perform in 1971 (too specific?). I can complete my Freeblade Knight Band, but that really isn't for talking about here. A few more pieces to glue on this current Super Heavy Walker and it's ready to go for our side .

WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Have you tried saying you don't believe in fairies a few times? :P You can talk about your Knight here, especially if it's part of an ETL vow ;) I'm hopeful for the new knights too, though my free time and wallet less so...

SW1 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well here's my super heavy basecoated ready to get my paint on. Roll on the 1st!!! http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee214/SW1-SWC/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpstrnvtpy8.jpg Was going to undercoat white and try out preshading and then decided I'm better off sticking to techniques I'm confident with. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
