MadGreek Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I, the Mad Greek, accept the Boxing Day Challenge and vow to build, paint, and base a Company Champion for the honor of the Bronze Bulls (Blood Angels Sub-Forum) within the 24 hour time limit. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/IMAG0602_zpsgvismq6v.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/IMAG0603_zpsmmcwkgjx.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329130-the-boxing-day-bash-2016/page/3/#findComment-4604021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Enjoy your nap, I just woke up sat at my painting area with a wet drooly crotch because I had my mouth open. Slaanesh is pleased? Lets not go there lol. I'm too tired to word family friendly innuendos :D Grey is such a boring colour to paint when you are sleepy.

Audemus Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Guys I'm going to have to bow out, I've been fighting a migraine for most of the night and nothing is helping. I had to restart on the central chassis as I didn't like how the color scheme was turning out which set me way back, on top of the fact that I was pretty much squinting from having my OttLite point blank in my face. Pretty much resulting in my brush strokes going outside the boundaries more than a few times...which is all fun and games until it does so on a 6 layer portion of the tank...which is pretty much half of it. lol Anyways, here's where it's at now (in all of it's untouched up glory) and while I technically might get more done if I can silence this headache I'm not going to have time to finish. Oh and yes, the main hull shows you just how horrifying the steps look to reach the final ivory color that is on the grav drives. :) http://i.imgur.com/3guge4O.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329130-the-boxing-day-bash-2016/page/3/#findComment-4604041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 And I am going to have to bow out as well. From family commitments to biting off way more then I could handle. Meh, I got them about half done. If I had of gone one instead of three I may have got there.

KhorneHunter57x Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 This is as far as I've gotten, and this is where I'm going to have to stop for the time being. I was hoping for an uninterrupted day, but a couple more pressing issues and a couple things that I'd rather do than paint models came up, so this is what I managed to do. I know I still have time left, but I'm going to call it here for my participation. The important thing is that I made progress, and I intend on finishing the Stormtalon in the next couple weeks (and I'll share hopefully better photos of the finished product over in the Ultramarines sub-forum). Thanks, and I hope the rest of you have more success than I did!

Guest Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I need to replace body I think its not sitting right due to scabbard on his leg I never thought about it when I was dry fitting. So back to the original body, which is nice anyway :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329130-the-boxing-day-bash-2016/page/3/#findComment-4604123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevindar Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Ah... I failed to complete the challenge. An injured hand quite hampered my painting attempts (i.e hand still not healed properly since earlier this year...it seems).. I did progress somewhat though, the bases are as finished as they can be before the mini is fully painted and I did put SOME paint to mini at least!Edit:I'll make sure to upload photos of these once they're done. This set-back won't hinder me for long! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329130-the-boxing-day-bash-2016/page/3/#findComment-4604155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'm done but there's 7 min left and I have to upload the picture! Edit: Praise the Emperor I think I made it!

Slave to Darkness Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Aaaand I'm done. Ran out of black paint and ink so I cant paint the base edge or tidy up some wonky lines but I aint gonna loose any sleep over it, I got two more wolf guard done for Varg Bloodeagles great company *yay woo*. Gotta go to my mates so I'll upload the finished pik when I get there, should have been there 5 hours ago to help move furniture but I blew it off to play 'sad grown men and women panting toy soldiers' with my cyber family. Well done to those who finished, bad luck to those who didnt, but you took part and that what matters. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329130-the-boxing-day-bash-2016/page/3/#findComment-4604323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave to Darkness Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Gutted I couldnt finish them off properly, but for once I enjoyed myself (I seriously dislike painting, Never enjoyed it). No doubt I'll be knocking out more Wolves next boxing day if I have any left after the ETL (yes I'm not batting for team Chaos this year, my brothers in the Aett need me).

Soldier of Dorn Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Well, won't be finishing, I don't think. Bit off a bit more than I could chew, and my paints are refusing to dry so I can't layer properly. Eugh. For posterity's sake, here's a photo of the model after build, before paint. (Can't bring myself to show you guys what he looks like right now.)

VulkansDynasty Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Great work to all who finished! the models you guys did look great, especially for only having 24 hours to paint them. This event was really fun, and makes me look forward to other B&C events.
