+++E Tenebrae Lux V - Blood Angels Strategium+++

[The Unseen]

Going to have to try that stubble look on what few marines I have that are helmetless.

 

And that's what I'm hoping, but it has been a hell of a month.

Just 3 hours till I get off and can get cracking to finish.

Should have about 6 hours between my shift ending and the cut off.

Just remember that it's 5pm GMT, so 12 noon ish Kentucky time :)

[The Unseen]

Yep.

I get off at 6am.

Overnight swing shifts suck.

Though according to the time the countdown posts are at its 1pm, odd.

5 places left, don't forget to upload painted pics of your champion (and complete your vows...)

I might be forgetting daylight savings vagaries...

[RedemptionNL]

Someone probably forgot to account for daylight savings. This time is used: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/gmt

 

So as of writing, 8 hours and 20 minutes left.

In a classic Blood Angel manner, I have been a hero that has come so far only to fall from grace. E.g. I made a big vow and life got a bit hectic and I underestimated my vow (and ability to locate all of the components again... Never let someone else tidy up your models kids!). I left it too long and the painting felt like a chore rather than for fun and I didn't want to rush my models (as I found I was doing over the weekend) and bodge them for the sake of a completion.

 

The Sanguine Visions have been lost in the warp, assailed by Daemons - but they shall find redemption, for there is always Salvation in our Rage as I go on a Piant-enance Crusade.  

 

My hats off to everyone else who managed it though, we had an incredible offering this year!

@Charlo

Oh well, as long as you tried.

No worries Charlo - if it started to feel a chore then the best thing is to give it a rest. Forcing yourself when you're not enjoying it is a bad idea as it can have long term negative effects for your hobby enjoyment. Glad to see you're already planning your penance crusade though - redemption after a stumble is an age old story, of which I'm sure of your success ;)

[The Unseen]

Hmm.. Just got home and got at my table. Can I paint 11 models to ITC format standard in 4 hours? Lets find out.

Not if you keep posting here, get to it!

[The Unseen]

Alas, its in vain. A combination of Western Kentucky humidity, and my lack of central air means the first model I just gave its first base coat a half hour ago hasn't even dried yet. Looks like I just set it down actually. My penitent crusade begins....

 

While I'm somewhat happy I didn't cost the forum terribly since my vow was a modest one, it merely exacerbates my failure.

[Captain Semper]

Good call Charlo - you should either be proud of your work or don't bother at all. Real life takes priority...

 

@ The Unseen: No worries! Try and do them at your own time and show them here as ooc vows once everything is over! :)

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Brother_Angelus]

It's almost midnight in Aus, but the beast is finally done! Potato quality phone picture again, but I'll get some beauty shoots in daylight.

 

If I try to pledge a massive vehicle again next year, someone e-slap me.

You're going to paint it in 1 hour and 40 minutes? You like to live dangerously, don't you?

Danger = fun!

 

But seriously i need to finish for the arena of death... The Flesh Tearers must be represented!

[RedemptionNL]

Well stop typing and start painting! Best of luck!

[Captain Semper]

Crazy stuff.... Keep going guys! 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Hannibaal]

I think xmercx finished his vow, but the completion photo is in his WIP thread in the forge.

Didn't want him to miss out on the well deserved recognition for that awesome predator!

[Leonite]

Hmm.. Just got home and got at my table. Can I paint 11 models to ITC format standard in 4 hours? Lets find out.

Speaking as someone peaking in from the Chaos Thread, I completed 24 models in one day, and a lot of them were fiddly kitbashed daemon types. As a former son of Sangunius myself... you can do it! The Blood Angels have been one of the big success stories of ETL, and I'd love to see it end up with you guys competing with Chaos and HH!

[Chaplain Gunzhard]

DONE ...not my best work and I would have normally obsessed over these for several more months, but it's nice to be able to put the brush down and call them finished! ...(bases are not finished)
