[Jolemai]

I KBA rise to the challenge of The Great Baalite Bake Off and vow to kitbash 1 Captain (IX Legion Champion Consul) on or before April 3rd, 2017. Success will bring honour to His Master's Revelation, IX Legion War Host, whilst failure is not an option...

Welcome to the event and vow logged. Was going to say that it was great to see one of the Conversion Challenges "heavyweights" enter, but your subsequent post already did that...

Axe positioning may not be final. I need to GS some blood drops here and there as well, but he's coming along.

I think you should leave the axe. It looks phenomenal (even with details covered) and having the axe splayed out the other way would look really unnatural.

Looking good so far, fast work too! Can't help but wonder about the parts :)

Aaand i can scrap my sanguinor. Is there a way to back off of a vow? If i no longer want to do sanguinor? I mean i couldnt do better than that (i know he technically isnt sang but still)

Nope, vows can't be edited and besides, why are you belittling yourself? If everyone felt that way then no one else would enter! Use it as inspiration to push yourself that little bit more and at the end of the day and regardless of the final result, you'll be left with a unique model for your collection (and almost 200 points towards the upcoming forum-wide ETL event ;))

Obviously I was joking, but at the beggining i felt like i hade Chance to maybe win the competition, but now. Man that model is awesome. But then again he scrapped celestine for it. From where comes another question, how big is the new big tzeentch greater daemon? :P

[Panzer]

Geez I feel so damn bad that I gave an incomplete address when I ordered some bitz...I could've been done with my vow already.

 

I really really want to do my conversion even tho I'm missing a few bitz to make it perfect.

I only need to figure out what to do to keep my model "in the air" and I'll be done.

Magnets?

[Arkangilos]

Ha, that would be awesome if I could do that, but I don't think I can :p

 

I need more or some rod to attach, and some cotton to conceal it and act as smoke

[Varred]

@Xenith

Actually You just gave me an idea with thise magnets :P

What if I built an electromagnet into the base and when i power it up the mini hovers over it?

Just a quick thought of a bored Robotics student :P

[Tyriks]

Wouldn't it just go to the side and fall over?

Yes yes!

Exactly. Is there some tutorial? Or parts used?

[Tyriks]

Vow 2 is complete!  I wish the ETL was closer...

 

First, we have First Captain Obadiah Faolan, equipped with a Jump Pack, Relic Blade and Storm Shield:

Angle

Bits:

Base, Shield, Torso (I think), Left Arm - Assault Marine kit

Legs, Jump Pack, Right Shoulder - SG kit

Pistol - Mk III kit

Sword - Vanguard Vets kit

Helmet - BA tacs

Halo - BA terminators

Left Shoulder - Upgrade kit

 

 

 

Next we have Gareth Salem (Gabriel Seth), former Chapter Master of the Storm Blades.  Side note, both his names mean something along the lines of being peaceful, which I find entertaining for a Gabriel Seth analogue.  He's out of competition for a couple reasons - I didn't take the time to strip the old paint from one of my first color schemes, but he also doesn't have a bolt pistol as I just couldn't find a place one would fit and still look good.  Also, I'm uncertain if his legs/torso count as a clam pack or not.

[Kierdale]

sockwithaticket, I take it that your captain there is pausing to return that Slaaneshi helmet to its rightful owner? ;)

(Whose head I hope he did not just lop off!)

But of course!

 

I'ts actually going to end up red, either Word Bearers or some kind of Khornate warband.

[TURBULENCE]

Very early WIP/ bits selection. Still not sure what storm shield is going on his back. Maybe a custodes one.

BAC chaplain. But only the cape/shoulders, front is from the Vanguard vets. I think it takes me over the 25 percent but it's worth it for the effect. A little more progress for today as well

 

[Arkangilos]

My quick WIP of Captain Corvo.

As a note I'm going to use cotton to smoke up and hide the spru holding him up.

Here is the inspiration for it

I'm also working on another Captain for my next vow, using the Conversion World sword.

 

This is its inspiration:

Man, that is one hell of a bad ass head choice! Really cool to include the Aquila too.
