Warsmith Uveron Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Well is 8th edition launch day! And with that the Tale of Hobbyists 2017 is underway. Our doors are still open we have current have 63 Hobbyists who have signed up. 38 have made their first Vow.. And I think we have had 3 completions already! Which is great! The standard of work already is very high, I have been keenly watching the thread this week on my phone. (I don’t like posting from it, which has been the reason for my radio silence) Anyway, I will try and update again next week with these vital statistics of the event. And I hope to be able to get some Hobby time myself tomorrow and will do a personal update! binary and Trokair 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/4/#findComment-4786196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyjapan Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Righto! time for some vowing. Firstly I would like to make a quick amendment to my project (If i understand correctly I am able to do so until the 30th June) in that It shall now be an Imperial Defence Force (Suitably awesome Planet name/backstory will be forthcoming). Basically I have multiple armies I want to Add/Update/Tinker with over the next year and bringing them all together under a Crusade/ Battlegroup/ Funfest allows me address them nicely. The Defence Force will consist of my orginial project: A Company of Sons of Jaghatai (Subject to change upon Chapter Tactics release), A detachment of Disciples of Caliban, A detachment of Knights of Blood. With the addition of: At least 1 Small Company (2platoons of at least 2Infantry Squads) strength Imperial Guard of a Heavy Infantry Regiment, At least 1 Small Company strength Imperial Guard of a Light Infantry Regiment Which brings me onto my Vow for Month 1 of: A Platoon of Imperial Guard: 1 Platoon Command Squad, 2 Infantry Squads and a Heavy Weapons Team. http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o665/kennyjapan/19397730_10208750420269941_1984862728_n_zps00wffo9s.jpg And a the colour scheme i'm going for, Deep purple fatigues with glossy black armour http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o665/kennyjapan/19357575_10208750432310242_317886145_n_zpswizsetkt.jpg Kenny Marqol 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/4/#findComment-4787499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 3 completions?? I thought we started on the 17th... Otherwise I would have put my Seeker squad up for the get it done section I dantay_xv, pledge myself to the B&C 2017 Tale of Hobbyists, my goal will be to add to my growing 6th legion army as they fight through the streets of Prospero, focussing around the 4th company and the fast attack/ reconnaissance elements of the army. I know nothing of army building and work on what I like, so unbound it will be. My first pledge will be my 5 man recon squad. Pictures to follow.

Zujara Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) Time to get started on the 2nd vow for the month! I Zujara pledge 1 Tech Priest Dominus and 1 Onager Dunecrawler to the 2017 Tale of Hobbyists. Fluff should hopefully develop as my friends settle on their armies and we plan out a campaign. Hopefully have some stuff next month!

Combat_Vet Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) As my first vow was a Ordo Xenos Kill Team (which was wiped out to a man unfortunately), my second vow for the month will be the initial scout elements for Marines Malevolent answering the distress beacon (I plan to complete at least ten scouts before the deadline).

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Right, Chaplain build phase is done with all of the goofy papers covered up with cloth. http://i.imgur.com/inMEtPP.png I'll try to get started on the painting tomorrow, but for the time being I'm not going to base any of my Astral Claws until I figure out what I'll be doing for the whole army.

VulkansDynasty Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Saturday was a very busy day for me. I picked up my Dark Imperium box and all the new books, then I got dragged into other RL things before I could even touch them. However yesterday I finally got around to building and painting on some of them. So I suppose my first Vow for this month will be some Primaris marines for my salamanders, cause they are pretty neat models and look really good in every color but blue (=P) so, I, GKTerminator, pledge to month 1 of the 2017 Tale of Hobbyists: 1 Captain in Gravis 1 Primaris Ancient 2 Primaris Lieutenants 1 Squad of 5 Primaris Hellblasters (I think this will be too little, but I am a slow methodical Painter =( ) I lost the picture of the Primed models, but here's the slightly greener after priming models. And the First Lt having his armor pretty much done. now for details, and some clean up. http://i.imgur.com/YyNNxkg.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/gUKlAM0.jpg Edited June 19, 2017 by GKTerminator Marqol, Combat_Vet, foamy248 and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/4/#findComment-4788544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Those do look good in Salamanders colors. I'm still waiting for my box to arrive so I can haz some shiny NuMarines too.

Iron Bars Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Nice looking primaris marines, can't wait to get my hands on some of those. Got my weapon servitors finished, but the pictures were all messed up so I'll take some new ones tonight. Did get this one of the techpriest, still a lot to do. Haven't got my new rulebook yet but I am formulating a plan to getting back into the game with 8th.

foamy248 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 So, xenos are allowed on the forum now... does that mean we can make some xenos pledges too (eg. some filthy Tau to fight my even-filthier Chaos)?

Warsmith Uveron Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 All. I am need of an Assistant! I spent most of last night and the early morning in the Emergency Room of the local hospital. And Looks like I have a semi-major surgery in my future. As such I may lose a few weeks of forum access, so having a second person monitoring the event will be great! Message me if interested.

FirstSonofHorus Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) So the first vow for my Ultramarines. Finish the Predator 'Vae Victis' Paint Intercessor squad First fluff piece The turret is obviously from a Baal predator and is currently a placeholder. Ebay is not proving fortuitous in sourcing a normal turret currently. The Chaplain's base is temporary. That green looks sweet on the Primaries. Almost tempts me. Almost.

Dantay VI Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Dependng where you are in the world, I may have the autocannon to mount on a turret, but not a turret kicking about if you are interested.

VulkansDynasty Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) So it would seem my schedule only lets me get some work done in the mornings this week, because I'm horridly exhausted by the time I get home after work. That said, today's update is a finished Lieutenant. Just gotta add the last touches to the base, which requires some water effects to dry first. http://i.imgur.com/vAGhyTo.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/jWTXHQu.jpg Edited June 20, 2017 by VulkansDynasty Thousand Eyes, Dosjetka, Grotsmasha and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334194-2017-a-tale-of-hobbyists/page/4/#findComment-4790012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
