Carlson793 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Do we have to do the bases for the models to be "complete"? With the Mechanicus there are only two words you need to know for basing: Martian Ironearth. Anything after that is just bonus.

Captain Semper Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Great progress here! I have to say Beardbattered, the green glow effect is really working for me! Congratulations man... I had a go to with the Magos dominos myself a while back... This is the result: GO METALLICA! UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Beardbattered Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Nice! The Dominus is just one of those models that BEGS you to paint it. So characterful. I love your take on the Metalica scheme, the pure clean white always looked strange to me. Your creamy off-white fits perfectly.

Passeltov Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The reds and metallics are great, an excellent vow :tu: Do you have a second vow in the making?Thanks. And of course I do. Vow three and four are also planned and purchased  I hereby pledge to complete the following before the end of the glorious ETL event. - 30k mechanicum 1x tech priest auxilia (1 tech priest and 4 servo automata equipped with a servo arm) 85 points - cult mechanicus 3x kataphron breachers 150 3x kataphron destroyers 165 - officio assassinorum 1x vindicare assassin 150  Total points:550 points  http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q606/Passeltov/E684EE2C-9E6E-4AF2-954C-68523AF2529A_zpsrozcfoji.jpg  Now back to painting Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322386-e-tenebrae-lux-v-adeptus-mechanicus-strategium/page/3/#findComment-4408357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It's a good vow, but while the Agents are part of IFOR they're not AdMech so he'll have to be some form of counts as I'm afraid.

Captain Semper Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Congratulations Passeltov, those Robots look ace! But so is the case for the Magi, especially the Dominus with all the detail on his back! :tu: Â Also great stuff for the the follow-up vow! The servo-automata look very promising indeed! But the Assassin is kind of problematic... WarriorFish got it right - that although they are part of the IFOR they are Agents - not AdMech... As such I think it'd be best to treat him as out-of-competition entry. ;) I have adjusted the total value excluding the Assassin. :) Â UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Passeltov Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 That's unfortunate. But it's my fault for not carefully reading the rules ^^ Â But to quote the rules: IMPORTANT NOTE: A new vow should only be made once the previous one is completed and not before! VOWS CANNOT BE ALTERED ONCE SUBMITTED! Â Meaning I have to complete my whole vow, irrelevant if it is out of competition or not. But I started working on my tech priest auxilia. Was way easier than I thought. Except for the automata with their little cables at the end. But I managed to only lose 3 during painting. (I know they must be somewhere, should ask my vacuum cleaner about their whereabouts) http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q606/Passeltov/442DC0B8-BB53-4710-9513-94EF9AB64BA9_zpsi61jky2o.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322386-e-tenebrae-lux-v-adeptus-mechanicus-strategium/page/3/#findComment-4409773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 No need really - you may exclude the Assassin from the vow and carry on finishing the counting units. The o-o-c vows can run in parallel - not necessarily sequentially - with the counting vows! Edit: The reason for this important note you're quoting is not so much to create obstacles in the smooth running of the event or prevent people from fine-tuning their vows but to prevent people from by-passing the "5 vows max" rule by adding significant amounts to their existing vows.

Captain Semper Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Guys I have to tell you, this is amazing quality stuff!  @ Beardbattered: This turquoise seems to be an excellent colour! They look unique and, somehow, real. Green light effect also stands out! This just amazing!  @ Daismith: And talking of amazing, WHAT IS THIS?! This Atrapos leads the way! Man that's inspiring stuff!   It's a pity we do not see more Mechanicum entries... Judging form the above, the potential of the Mechanicum is literally HUGE!   UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Vel'Cona Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I feel like Mechanicus probably lost a lot of steam after the initial release rush. These are awesome entries for the remaining magi, however! Quality over quantity, that's the way.
