Great - keep them coming guys. Remember that participation is more important than points at this stage!

NOTE: Those who have not the pics of their vow yet, when you do take them please edit them into your original vow post so we can keep everything tidy.

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Ok, if I split this into multiple vows, I probably wont finish. But I will also be on vacation all of July...so I really only have 2 months. Splitting it is.

I cant find any text to copy and paste for my vow so I'll make it up.

I, Xenith, accept the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux and hereby vow to complete the below models for the Blood Angels Sub Forum, on or before the 15th August. Successful completion of my vow shall see me reap great reward and renown, however failure will see me consumed by the rage, and consigned to the ranks of the death company until my vow is avenged.

Nice Xenith! Really liking your Corbulo rendition

Thanks! I've been meaning to do this for a while, the ETL was the right motivation to get it done!

[evildrcheese]

Looking good guys! We're gonna do Sanguinius proud this year.

 

Vow update: Busy day doing pre-shading today, not a technique I've used before but I'm hoping it'll give bit more depth and contrast to my minis. It took longer than I expected, I was hoping to get everything done and even start base coating today, but alas I only got the 3 storm ravens got and both preds done. Should get the rest done this week between work, study and other commitments. Hopefully I should have more time to work on my vow in June as my exam will be out of the way by then.

Big night, but the landspeeder is almost finished. I think I'm high on rapidly cooling paint fumes from the rattlecans.

 

Just the Devastators left to prime, now.

Argh the question is whether to vow everything i have left to do or do it in bits? urgh decisions decisions

You can have up to five Vows brother, separate it accordingly to minimise risk!

[mandaloriano]

Argh the question is whether to vow everything i have left to do or do it in bits? urgh decisions decisions

Start with a small vow and then follows with another.

In the first vow begin with what you most want to paint, or what more need for your army.

At least for me, it is easier this way to make painting decisions.

After all the ETL is to motivate us to paint those miniatures which still to paint, and also have nice signatures

[gav1892]

Ive got a house move to go through but really need to get the rest of my 2nd company done so i can move onto my 1st company. Also drevilcheese has wetted my appetite
