Hyaenidae Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 This is it, folks. End of the road. The ETL is almost over and victory is this. Damn. Close. Will we bathe in glory, or taste ash? Only those of our Brothers and Sisters who still bear their Oaths upon their plate know, not yet completed. You can do this. Sleep is a form of weakness, and weakness is death. Skip water, and use Red Bull in your coffee pot. Blood is a good paint medium, and the bone shining through adds light to your painting area. The burning house will put itself out, just put a wet rag over your mouth, stay low, and keep painting. If the food can't be sucked through a straw, you're wasting valuable painting time. Pay off some kindly gnomes to paint your minis. Whatever you got to do, do it. We're right behind you, rooting you on. Are we really gonna let these thin bloods snatch victory from our grasp, right at the end? We made the rotted corpse of an empire they squabble over like junkyard dogs fighting over a bite of putrid meat. They kill for our memory. Let's remind them why the Siege of Terra scarred the collective consciousness of all of humanity. Live Fast, Fight Hard, Die Painting. Paaaaaaaaaaint.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I will finish tomorrow later today, and if I, as slow as I paint, can finish 10 minis in a few days then some of you can easily knock out your open vows in time.

Skalpynock Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Don't have a desk? Use the top of a cupboard. Don't have a chair? Your knees will do. The flesh is not *that* weak. Don't have a palette? Get an ashtray. You can't smoke while painting, as far as I know. Don't have the time to paint details? Agrax, or more caffeine. If you don't have Agrax, just paint with your coffee.

Olis Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm on the final stretch as we speak. In fact I've only popped in because I needed a toilet break. You can rest assured I will post up a completion tomorrow. No ifs, buts or maybes. Painting will have ceased by sunrise tomorrow even if I have to forgo sleep to do it. That leaves me the better part of tomorrow to post up the pictures. As my pledge is worth one percent of our total, I am honour bound to succeed - failure is not an option or a consideration. To all of you who are trying to complete their vows: You CAN do it. Even if you have to stagger over the line, it's still a finish. Good luck to you all.

Ion Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The camera is broken and the lighting is awful, and I have but a few details left to finish up... I'll post a completion even with my ipad camera and the shoddiest of lighting. *curses the earlier procrastination* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311701-perseverance-and-honour/#findComment-4134064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlson793 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The hell I cant smoke while painting! Just gotta make sure the ash doesnt get on the mini. Why you gotta make sure you don't get ash on the mini? Haven't you heard of weathering?

jeremy1391 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Wouldn't the smoke get in your eyes? At first but its all about the cig angle. After a while you smoke like sam Jackson in jurrasic park.

helterskelter Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I can only apologise for my failure, I will commit my act of penance ASAP. Hopefully can rediscover my drive for the hobby sooner rather than later (Real life doodads so on and so forth, won't bore you all with details).
