Received my 10 BaC tacs in the mail today. After the slightly :cussty day of dying and health department messed up's I am about to enjoy pizza, bourbon and dudes.... As long as I don't over bourbon I should get to assemble my dudes;)

I'm tracking my packages I might play it safe and split my models into two vows. The bulk of the models arriving before may and the rest arriving some time in the middle of may. I think splitting them that way would be a sad decision though. The later models only numbering around 9, maybe 14 tops.
I've started a test model. Which I'll post pictures on in the not two distant future. 
I'm pleased with the outcome so far but irked with the colors. Dark Angels may need more color than Just Black and gun Metal. 

I hope I have both the time and the funds for a large centerpiece model as well before the end.

I would love to get a Legion Glaive.

It's not about the size of the vow, it's about how you use it....eh? Or...erm... finishing

Rayray, lol.  Waiting for things to arrive in the mail is the most challenging thing I have going right now. 
Yesterday I was full on Buyers remorse. Today I feel much better.

Tracking says my BaC set and three more squads just arrived today!  

 

But I agree. Which is why I was only planing a few Vows. I've just thought the second one should be more than a few models which could have been done in the first vow. 9 or so jet bikes is only a few days work. I wont even make a second vow until the first one is done and all the models for the next are here with me.

It'll be sweet to see what you paint up. I've got a small high point first vow, and then plan the 20 ashen circle amongst other models for the second vow. Hopefully by the end of this deal, we'll all have painted armies to show from the ETL. Forget the bragging rights, I just want some cool lookin stuff......

I keep looking at typhon... Typhon so pretty with that BIG ole pie plate.

But I have a Archeon with that huge flamed template that also is so nice.

One project at a time but the resin is soooo tempting.

I started on the BaC marines today and have to say that GWs plastics are hitting it out of the park. Not a lot of variation in the standard poses but I'm grateful to not be as nervous as I am while reposing the resin. Luckily I still had some bits(if shoulder pads, phalanx warders and some IH stuffs) to customize. I also picked up a 10 man mkiii squad that had been preassembled in some fairly static and boring poses so they will be going on the block.

 

Right now my ETL vow looks like-

Sigismund

Command squad

Primarus Medicae in cataphractii

10 man mkiv

10 man mkiii

8 man termi

Spartan

6 jetbikes

 

Also have a bunch of elysians, FW haz mats, Chadian haz upgrades,a 10 pack of choom guns and some other assorted resins to turn into a section of SA.

1st batch of 10 B@C marines done with all the little extras (minus the bolters) 2nd batch will be all done tomorrow night. Need to decide what my third batch is going to be configured like then prime the whole lot over the weekend (such is the plan)

Bunches of stuff heading out for priming, hopefully I can get it all done before I go up to see the folks on saturday, which might be hampered by the fact that my spray can is half out and it's a decent drive to the nearest GW store, but I'll try my best!

My first vow could be something like this:

 

Guilliman

5 Suzerains

Deredeo

Sicaran Battle Tank

10 Terminators 

 

I could throw in a few consuls and Praetors too then the second vow could be a load of Tactical Marines/Veteran Squads (more points right? :P) and a couple of Contemptors.

My Resin pile is big and growing. I have the following ready:

 

5 Gorgon Termintors

Iron Father with Familiar

Contemptor

Deimos Rhino/Command Rhino/Stronos Razorback Conversion (points wise this will be a command rhino/rhino whatever is higher)

Tech marine

3 Jetbikes

 

To be built:

10 Tacs

5 Heavy Support with Volkites (Waiting on Volkites)

Ferrus

6 Medusan Immortals with Volkites (need 4 more for a legal squad)

Rhino

Fellblade

Caestus Assault Ram

 

On order I have:

5 Medusan Immortals

Volkites (for Immortals)

Heavy Volkites

Sicaran

 

Quick question about 3rd party models, is this ok? My Jetbikes are 3rd party (blood and skulls) though the marine riders aren't

So far my first vow will be

 

Alpha Legion Exodus (using the Imperial Space Marine model)

A Forge Lord Consul with Cortex controller

A Thallax Cohort (3 Thallax)

10 Legion Veteran Tac Squad

5 Legion Heavy Support Squad (Missile Launchers)

 

After that I'll see what time is left.

 

When does it start and finish anyway?

 

Cheers

 

Vogon
