GhostMalone Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Allrighty guys I'll get a summary started soon but month 1 could have been better. But we learn from this and always will we improve. So with October started I'll kick off the vows. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/khan_by_d1sarmon1a-d8pjv2j_zpsglmbijky.jpg Vth Legiones Astrates White scars October I Kurama rise to the challenge and vow 10 Tacticals for 180 points Bringing my total to 1215/2000. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-10-01_17.37.56_zpswmuirqwl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/11/#findComment-4185831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Invictus Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 This months vow I, Praefectus Invictus, rise to the challenge and vow to complete on legion tactical squad to the total value of 170 points, bringing my total to 663/2000 (I already have two HQs painted) Also I just found out that I'm going away for 6 months next year at the end of January, so I'll only have another 4 months to complete my challenge. I don't really want to pull out because this is a pretty good motivator to actually get my models painted, but if you want me to I will.

Zujara Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Good summary and thanks for the compliments Kurama! This event has been a great motivator so far, hopefully I will have more time to comment on everyone's work this month. Now for this month's vow, back to my legion with my shiny new toy I just finished putting together http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/aurelian_by_d1sarmon1a-d8p1g5h_zpsoqkucono.jpg I Zujara rise to the challenge and vow 1 Legion Glaive w/ Armoured Ceramite for 650 points Bringing my total to 1065/2000 http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/af182/Zujara/Word%20Bearers/glaiveas_zpswiudgpor.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/11/#findComment-4185921 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier of Dorn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 All right. Let's do this again. http://i.imgur.com/cd2wLMj.jpg XII Legion World Eaters 64th Company Warband Month- October I, the Psycho, renew my oaths to the Tale of XVIII Hobbyists in this month of October 2015, and swear by all the Old Gods and the New to complete a Chaos Lord with lightning claw, power fist, sigil of corruption, Collar of Khorne, and Juggernaut of Khorne for 200 points. This is my oath. I shall redeem myself for my failure. Total: 200/2000 http://i.imgur.com/tTFuw0Z.jpg?2 So, a bit of explanation. I am the Psycho, born of Chaos. That is not just me being dramatic. Chaos is what drew me into Warhammer (and later 40k) in the first place. I have tried to start other armies in the brief time that I've been involved in the hobby, but the great majority of those endevours have failed, and the beautiful, haunting imagery of Chaos has drawn me back into its betentacled embrace. Last month, when I began the Crusade of Ashes, I thought that I had found my muse for a non-Chaotic force. I was wrong. After painting my first Assault Marine, I remembered the reason I hate loyalists- they're boring, aesthetically speaking (unless you're Blood Angels ) I very much dislike painting all those flat surfaces without fancy trim. Right now, my time is at the highest premium it ever has been, and I would prefer to spend that time painting models I actually enjoy painting rather than not. So, I messaged Kurama for permission to change my army back to my first love, the World Eaters, and he granted his blessing. I felt that it would be dishonest to include the Black Templars in my points total for the event, so they have been written out. I'll still do my best to finish the Assault Squad within the next couple of weeks (I made an oath, after all), but after that, I'll be wallowing in the colors of crimson and brass.

Larkyn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Larkyn- hopefully month 2 will be more fruitful but unfortunately I lost a brother of the Vth to the clutches of the hydra.

Alright, this month I'll vow something basic: Tactical Squad: 230 -10x, vexilla, nuncio-vox, sarge power sword -Rhino: havoc launcher Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/11/#findComment-4185959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW1 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Trying to decide which awesome entry to cast my vote for. Will decided by the end of the day and have this months vow sorted as well. :D Really need to rack up a few points this month as an average of 300 points a month is required to complete the 2,000 point target in 7 months with a bit of wriggle room. So time to get my finger out. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313067-a-tale-of-18-hobbyists/page/11/#findComment-4186102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemonifugue Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Apologies to all. I am still alive, but 2 weeks in Cancun followed by starting a new job spanked my free time.
