Dosjetka Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 That's already three completed vows! Congratulations to Sabadin, Xenith, and Zujara! :tu: Also, welcome to DexC, Ashriel, Bukimimaru, and Zujara! I've really got nothing to show for my vow yet but I'm going to start making progress on them next week and I'll make sure I post some WIP pictures here. I highly encourage others to do the same. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/3/#findComment-4934248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Only a small contribution to start while I work out what will be in the army and in the work busy period before Christmas. I hope to get at least one unit done per month. We can vow partial units, right? Say, finishing off a unit that's had a test model done?

Dosjetka Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yes, you can vow partially completed units. The best way to do this would be to take a picture of the whole Codex/Index-legal unit before and after assembly/painting. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/3/#findComment-4936946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Progress! One more to assemble and then paint! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/3/#findComment-4937431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexC Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm regretting having vowed ten termagants rather than doing five stealers. I'm a very slow painter, and I think I had it in my head that smaller minis would be less work. I failed to take into account that terms have seemingly infinite nooks and crannies, and that I would have been much better off with a 5 stealer banker to start. Still making slow and steady progress though.

ChromeZephyr Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I feel you, DexC. I'm looking at all the details I've got left to do on my 30 gants and getting a bit nervous about the coming deadline.

DexC Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Right, here's the two furthest along: Not a load of progress for 12 days. Both the blue and the people will be a shade lighter when I'm done, hooves/teeth/claws will be bone. What does the hive think about colour for the weapons? I was thinking a flesh colour with a red wash, but not fully decided yet. That's the group. All undercoated, 2 with purple and blue done, 1 complete purple coat, 5 incomplete purple and the rest just undercoated. The converted horms have more lean angle than Marc Marquez, my first idea for base weights didn't come off, but I've got more plans to stop them faceplanting.

jbaeza94 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I vote a dark colored flesh tone, I'll think it'll bring it all in together Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/3/#findComment-4938379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeZephyr Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'd shy away from a warm flesh tone on the weapons, your main colors are colder and I think it'd look a bit odd. You could keep it lighter, but go more pallid and it would "pop" without conflicting with the rest of the model. edit: grammar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/3/#findComment-4938382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatcaber Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 May have been a little too ambitious with my vow as I've really been struggling to find the motivation to paint these last few weeks. Over the last few days I have managed to paint a Carnifex and the 8 Termagants I added to the vow. This now gives me a week to paint my other Carnifex and the Trygon Prime. The TP is at least half done, but I'll have to paint the 'fex from scratch...

A rule of thumb from academia is estimate how long you think something will take, then multiply it by 3, and that's how long it will actually take. This factors in procrastination and other things getting in the way.

Brother Argent Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Looking forward to seeing him painted, SP. You don't have to wait long...

Focslain Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 How long are you going to run this? I'm a little busy with the Xenos event but since I had to pick up one of the old getting started for nids I was going to drop in January with a few things.

ChromeZephyr Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Vow complete. My next vows are going to be much smaller, for the sake of my sanity. Full unit: Closeup: I've also finally come up with a name for my swarm, Hive Fleet Nyogtha.
