JGeils81 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hey guys I was wondering if anyone would be opposed to a tracker for your ETL vows? It would be entirely voluntary and informal, just kind of to motivate yourself and keep track of how you are progressing. You can use your own format.JGeils81Vow 1:1. Assault Squad - Touchups and Highlights to go and power wpns and plasma Updated 7 JULY 15 2. Speeder Typhoon - All metal done, base 3. Venerable Dreadnought - Basecoated, primary colors and washes 4. Predator - Base Coat, metal bits and red done 5. Terminator Squad 1 - Mid base coats6. Terminator Squad 2 - Primed 7. Belial - Count as - 90% done 8. Asmodai - Base coats and metal 9. Deathwing Knights w/Perfidious Relic - Primed Last Progress - 7 July 2015 - two thin base coats on Predator, washes on reds. some bases primedno pics means that something has been done since vowed for the ETL, but no pics of progress taken yet.Latest pics are posted as reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have not yet formally made my first vow, as I intend to wait until it's all assembled and primed, but here's what I'll be pledging: 1) Sammael on Sableclaw - primed 2) Deathwing Command Squad - basecoated, 1 model completed. 3) Full Ravenwing Attack Squadron with Attack Bike and Land Speeder Typhoon - all primed 4) 8 man Deathwing Knights squad - basecoated, Perfidious Relic completed. 5) Interrogator-Chaplain on bike - primed 6) Librarian on bike - primed That's nearly 1500 points, and at my rate of output over the last two months, it should be completed with time to spare for a possible additional vow. Especially since I am taking the summer off from work and will have more time to paint! Update 5/5/15: All of the units above are assembled and primed and I am ready to enter my first vow!

Grotsmasha Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I usually do this for my self each ETL. If I may make a suggestion? Using text colour, I use Green for Completed, Yellow for anything more than Basecoated, and Red for Primed/Unassembled. 1x Asmodai @ 140pts 1x Interrogator-Chaplain Seraphicus @ 125pts ==> Plasma Pistol 1x Dreadnought @ 130pts ==> Assault Cannon ==> Heavy Flamer 1x Dreadnought @ 135pts ==> TL Lascannons ==> Heavy Flamer 1x Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought @ 155pts 1x Deathwing Terminator Squad @ 490pts ==> Additional 5 models ==> 10x Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield 1x Deathwing Terminator Squad @ 475pts ==> Additional 5 models ==> Assault Cannon ==> Heavy Flamer ==> Chainfist Cheers,Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGeils81 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Sure thing Grotsmasha, I'll do it tomorrow from my laptop. iPad doesn't give me those options. Ulfgrim, sounds good! Just don't wait too long! June 1st is cutoff for first vow in order to have points count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 JeffJedi, Vow 1: Librarian in Terminator Armor Deathwing Squad Company Veteran Squad Scout Squad Tactical Squad Devastator Squad My forces are split in half with the green armored squads getting early attention. Base, highlight. shade and glaze for them before I move on to a new color. My Deathwing hit a snag when I found the bone doesn't cover a black undercoat as well as white, so trying something new and brushing white over it. I'm painting the DW a different way this year. Starting skin tones. Edit: Finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopounder Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 You know... if someone were willing to collate the data, I might be persuaded to make a little app out of this. Or perhaps make a way for people to update it themselves too.. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Ulfgrim, sounds good! Just don't wait too long! June 1st is cutoff for first vow in order to have points count! I expect to have these all assembled and primed by the end of this week. What's motivating me is that I can't paint them until I do so - otherwise I might never "get around" to assembling and priming the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If anyone else is going for five vows it breaks down to 18 days per vow. Last year only 25 made it to all five vows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I could do five vows if they were about 300 points each. I might break down my overall vow into smaller chunks, just to be sure I get it all done. My strategy is to pledge only as much as I know I can finish in half the time remaining - so if I can do 1500 points in three months, I pledge 750 points for my first vow. If I get that done in a month, I pledge 500 for my second vow, then 250 if I've got a month left for the third. This lets me finish the expected amount but gives me a safe cushion in case something happens. So for the above, I'll likely do all the Deathwing in the first vow, do the Chaplain and RWAS in the second, and do the Librarian and Sableclaw in the third. 1484 points in three months is manageable for me, and it leaves me two extra vows available if I should complete these with time to spare... in which case I'll have to dig up something new. I do have a second full RWAS available but I think it would take me a month to assemble and paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've got 2480 of stuff available to paint after my current vow, I just don't know how much I'll be able to get around to... I don't want to sacrifice quality for quantity, especially since I don't even play at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have 3 almost identical vows of ~1600pts each set aside, should I get those done I'll consider scrounging around for 1 or 2 small/single model vows. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LokisSword Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hey guys! Seems awfully quiet in here - I'm just going to assume that we are all so busy feverishly painting that we haven't had time to stop and take pictures / post ;) So my Vow 1 is: 1) Land Raider with MM + HK Missile (300 pts) 2) Belial (190 pts) Here's my progress so far (Excuse crappy pic quality): -Primer on everything. -Land raider has had airbrushed basecoat / shading. Tonight's mission is to basecoat all the non-bone areas on the LR, then coat with Klear and do the oil washes. I'm hoping I might even get round to first pass highlights... We will see! Onwards and upwards brothers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenz Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm not going to lie, I achieved absolutely nothing this past weekend. Some Nurgle fiend at my daughter's school sent home the flu. My whole household was sick from Thursday onwards. But this is a new week! And I will see paint brush to model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenONE Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Got almost ALL of the cloth robes on my veterans done. Boy am I rusty and do I hate painting that color. Can finally start on weapon details and power armor. Hopefully having these guys wrapped up by the end of this week so I can start on the Vindicators! Vehicles are so refreshing to paint, a lot less tricky spots (aka no cloth)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGeils81 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 second base coat on Venerable, started base coats on first terminator squad. no pics for this update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I thought painting a Land Raider would be fun. I was wrong. Very, very wrong... I hated the look (and painting) of those big flat areas. A better painter would have covered them in freehand, but I'm not quite there yet :/ So I'm gonna have to weather the heck out of it and add some chipping to break it up. So base coats are all on, started weathering with oil paints. Quite subtle now, but building it up a little at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
