Trokair Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 My vow for this month is another unit of Bullgryns, this time armed with Grenadier Gauntlet. They might not be a troop choice but they are a mainstay of my themed army.

Lemainus Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Looks like this past challenge for a giant monster will be my month to ask for a pass. Work has been breakneck and I've been on the road the past several weeks. Booooooooooooooooooooooooo. Also! Wow. I just realized I posted my Monster vow start in my own thread but not over here. Derp. My mistake.

TrawlingCleaner Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I, Trawling Cleaner, vow to complete 1 company commander, 1 infantry squad and a heavy weapon team attached for my Chem Dogs.

FlamingWalnut Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 No troops at the moment, as I am still chugging away at my Sisters of Battle conversion and my guard is still....in progress... BUT, I got a nice and shiny banner for them to look at! (Hasn't been great in game, though...) I vow one Primaris Ancient.

jaxom Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) In my quest to be efficient, i.e. lazy, I stumbled upon ceiling tiles as textured flat things for an army board. EDIT: Update time: two layers of watered down PVA glue, crackle paste to fill the joins and assorted areas, plastic tyranid bits added. Each tile is 12" x 12" and has "Sand Pebble" texture.

jaxom Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 ++ Month 5 Vow Complete ++ Cheap, easy, and fast. I have no plans to use this other than for Armies on Parade. If I were making a board with more staying power or really cared about presentation here's what I'd change in the future: 1) Suck it up and spend the money for fresh thing of crackle paste to cover the whole board so it all matches the army bases. 2) The ceiling tiles are light and took the PVA and crackle paste very well. I'd add a thin plywood backing attached with something like liquid nails and then simultaneously lock it in and cover the edges of the board with wooden picture framing. I may paint up another 5 scouts before the change over occurs, but it depends on if I get hooked into Stranger Things season two.

TrawlingCleaner Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Company commander is finally done, just a few finishing touches and he's done.

Trokair Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 TrawlingCleaner, I don’t think it is boxy enough o be Vader, though there is a resemblance, nice commander conversion regardless. Lionofjudah, Iron Within, Iron Without! Iron Bars, nice robots, especially the computer screen display on the heads. Also what weapon is underslung on the fits? My Vow for this month is complete, a little ahead of schedule, which his nice. The middle one is a little mad, so I gave him a second grenade gauntlet and built the brute shield into it. As that gives a 4++ I saw no reason to glad him in the normal bullgryn armour (which would have also interfered with the converted gauntlet placement). Side shots of the mad one. fisheyedbunny and Zujara 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/21/#findComment-4923751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 This is probably the fastest I've ever completed this many models in this amount of time I finished the last 2 dudes and the weapon team to finish this squad and this month's vow.

binary Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Looking good again guys, glad there’s still a few of us mad men still going strong. On a related note i finished my vow this week end, just in time for armies on parade! Behold 3rd tactical squad led by sergeant Caradot And the land raider crusader “Excalibur” So. Any ideas for the theme next month?

jaxom Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I had a blast at Armies on Parade today. Nothing to bring home, but I expected that going into it, there were some amazing armies and boards. Definitely good motivation to just keep up painting and getting a bit better one mini at a time. Unfortunately, there were no Scouts in the store so I won't be doing a second vow for the month (not in the mood at the moment to do a lot of power armor and a guard unit would take too long). Here's the themes so far: Get It Done - Finish a unit you were working on Rearm and Replace - Update a pre-existing unit Headquarters - Paint an HQ choice Monster (Vehicle) Mash - Paint a model with 15+ wounds Troops - Paint a Troop choice Ideas for Themes moving forward: It Came From Behind - Paint a unit with Flanking or something like it Death From Above - Paint a unit with the Fly descriptor Elites - Paint an Elites choice Heavy Support - Paint a Heavy Support choice Walk Softly - Paint a unit with Infiltrate or something like it Carry a Big Gun - Paint a unit with weapons that do 3 or more damage fisheyedbunny 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/21/#findComment-4925298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Silvernale Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Support squad done. Here they are with the volkite calivers. I need to get 5 more each of the flamer/plasma/melta options. So with this my final vow will be 5x tactical and 5x assault to finish out a couple half squads and then my total vow is complete yay. After that, I will do some touch up on previous character models to bring them more in line with my newer work and add some vehicles.

Iron Bars Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Trokair: they are some kind of gun attachments I found on shapeways when I was looking for something else, I'll use them for the bolters castellax have in 30k when I have the chance to play again. Quick vow to end the month: 8 vanguard of the Sepuloran guard. They are almost finished, but I couldn't post them because of internet problems. Should be done by tomorrow Trokair 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/21/#findComment-4931507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
