Right. The first post has been updated up to this point. Apologies that it took so long, I hadn't realised that there was so much to update.

 

Secondly, there's under two weeks left for you to all complete your vows! If some people have done six vows and would like to do a seventh (looking at you, Augustus), feel free to do so :)

 

Thirdly, I'll be painting my vow today, hopefully completing it by tonight. I'll be posting pictures of my progress here.

 

Lastly, thanks again to all who have participated in this. It has had more success than I thought it would and despite the recent lull in activity, there has been some excellent modeling and painting going on :tu:

 

For Dorn and the Emperor!

Aha well in that case:

I, Augustus b'Raass, vow on the honour of the Imperial Fists and Dorn to paint and present one Razorback, one Attck Bike and one five-man Tactical Squad with Lascannon on or before the 15th of December, 2015. I promise to provide at least one WIP update and one finished picture of each unit, in that time. I vow to bring honour to Dorn and the Emperor by completing my vow and not failing my brothers-in-arms.

Ave Imperator!

Pictures:
The Razorback:
Of the ten hours I usually need to paint a tank, I've spent about 20 minutes laying down the first two colours. Hopefully still WIP enough.
The Attack bike
And the five marines in the tactical squad:
Comms Specialist
Veteran Sergeant
Battle Brother
Heavy Weapons specialist

Brothers, just over 48 hours remain! Make haste with your vows for Dorn and the Emperor!

 

I'll have to throw the towel in on this one. I'm back to the start now, the bad white base coat stripped off and waiting for sometime to base them again. :/ Hopefully over the christmas break.

Well this has been a horrible month for progress tongue.png

A recent move made me scatter my painting equipment and time, but ive almost got my vow done. Ill hopefully have my wip picture up tomorrow.

Talk about scraping the deadline.

Great stuff everybody!

Wip:

The model as it stands now, unhighlighted and unbased + the obvious lack of a head smile.png

Sorry for the crap pic, this entire paint station was set up very hastily in order to remain unwavering in the eyes of the primarch tongue.png

For me it is the pain glove indeed!
I have failed my vow, mostly due to real life. But also due to forgetting about it. (kinda unsure where i left my models...)
But i'm getting back in the hobby, so will get back to writing my own chapter fluff soon. ^^

Which will also be accompanied by update pictures ;)

I think im on time? If not, oh well gave her a try lol.

What day was it?

​Gregor supposed it didn't matter anymore.

In the last 30 hours basilica Justinian had received a constant vox message detailing the fists final chance at surrender.

It amused Gregor that the seventeenth still knew what surrender was, and that after all they had done

the Warmasters gifts could entice the Astartes from the gate.

Knights do not bend the knee to monsters.

Over the distant slope a chant could be heard.

The sharp rhythm made the hairs on Gregors neck stand, remembering the madness that

had ensued the last time the Word Bearers marched to war uttering that infernal cry.

Looking down on Silvas, the imperial army commander who had stood along the walls with

his FIsts he saluted the aquila and drew his blade.

Cutting his external vox and signaled to his brothers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first of the abominations came into Gregors sight.

As the heavy adamantium gates closed behind them Gregor looked to his brothers.

Engaged by five to one, the fists charged on and went to steel.

The battle cry of Gregor leading them in precise fury,

"We die before we kneel!"

Done!

DimDim, that's one evocative, inspiring model. It oozes steadfastness, contempt, and withheld fury. ohmy.png

I can't wait to get me some cataphractii action soon.

Dosjetka, what say you to the idea of asking all participants to post a pic of all their finished models together? Would be kinda cool to see what the expansion has yielded, no? smile.png

Well, I've probably Vowed (and completed) the smallest points total in here!

 

But that being said, congratulations everyone! And HUGE congratulations to the monsters among us who Vowed and completed seven Vows! You guys make me jealous, afraid, and a tiny, tiny bit turned on.

 

Big ups and very many thanks to Dosjetka / Ludo for organising this! My Reclusiam's Praetors (honour guard) would likely have gone unpainted for much, much longer without it...

Hear hear to that! Thanks Dosjetka for running the event. I had great fun sharing pics, making a big dent in my planned Imperial Fists force, and meeting new BnC buddies. Congrats to everyone and until next year? I won't be joining your ranks for the ETL, unfortunately.
