Panzer Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just remembered I still have a Primaris Ancient to build which wouldn't disrupt my schedule too much. So here goes nothing! I sfPanzer rise to the Elites challenge of Blood & Zeal and vow to build 1 Primaris Ancient for a combined total of 5PL on or before 2359 UTC March 12th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels and the Knights of Baal, whilst failure is not an option... Knew you couldn't resist Is that a SG banner you're switching in? Does it fit easily? Guilty. Yeah it's the SG banner. Unfortunately it doesn't fit as easily as I thought and I don't have the time to make it fit currently so I'm just using the regular Primaris banner this time. Maybe for my next Ancient if I ever make one. ^^ So ... Vow completed! Pretty basic with just a headswap. Blue-tac (well actually pattex ) on the feet because I really don't want to paint those bases after gluing a model on them and he didn't want to stand properly for the picture without it. Nicely done and pity about the SG banner. Is the head GKPA or GKTDA? Should be a GK Paladin head. At least that's what I ordered on ebay.

BluejayJunior Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I BluejayJunior rise to the Elites challenge of Blood & Zeal and vow to build one 5-man Vanguard Veteran squad with jumppacks, a furioso dreadnought, and a dreadnough for a combined total of 24 power level on or before 2359 UTC March 12th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels Faction, whilst failure is not an option... Now that is monstrous. How are you getting on with it so far? VAS loadout? Got the dreadnoughts finished. Gonna build the VAS tomorrow. I think I'm going with a relic blade, 2 thunder hammers, 2 power swords; storm shields on the power swords and plasma pistols on everyone else. Or just all power swords and plasma pistols.

Gonna build the VAS tomorrow. I think I'm going with a relic blade, 2 thunder hammers, 2 power swords; storm shields on the power swords and plasma pistols on everyone else. Or just all power swords and plasma pistols. I would stick with the thunder hammers. I had a unit with 2x dual lighting claws, 2x sword & shield and relic blade & shield on sergeant. The damage output with such a low volume of D1 attacks just isn't enough against anything else than single wound marines. I built two more veterans with thunder hammers & shields, and now they are quite versatile assault unit. It's looking a bit grim with the completion of my vow. Furioso is ready, but only about 30% of the DC dudes are built. It takes a lot longer to do a single model with bolter (& chainsword) when you need to break the arms to multiple pieces to get nice poses. I will probably still manage to finish the vow if I just forget my normal routine and skip the basing before the base coat.

I will probably still manage to finish the vow if I just forget my normal routine and skip the basing before the base coat. I cut the bolt pistol and bolter off their respective arms and then attach the bolter where the pistol used to be, as those arms already have good poses.

Mcrat Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I Mcrat rise to the Elites challenge of Blood & Zeal and vow to build 10 Death Company with Jump Packs for a combined total of 18 PL on or before 2359 UTC March 12th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels, whilst failure is not an option... Vow complete! 10 Death Company with jump packs for 18 PL (Jolemai you've only got 10 PL listed against my name on the first post). All arms and jump packs are magnetised, which means I burnt through 60 magnets just on these guys. I probably could have glued some down, but I like the flexibility of being able to swap weapons on every single one if I wanted. It also reminded my how much more I prefer the GW black spray compared to Army Painter Pure Red. So much easier to get a good coat. I feel like the paint comes out so much faster from the GW can, which is great. I really should try using a can of Mephiston Red and doing a layer or 2 of Evil Sunz Scarlett to see if I get better results than using the AP spray.

Arkaniss Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Vow complete! Used my last Sanguinary Guard axe, pretty much exhausted the last bits of those sprues now. Cut up and moved some arms around to try and make them look different to my existing VV too.

Kaese Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Last week was super busy. I didn't have any troops to build so I decided to paint a squad of sniper scouts that finished last night. This week I should have more free time, so it should be enough for a big vow. I Kaese rise to the Elites challenge of Blood & Zeal and vow to build Furioso dreadnought, 10x Death company marines & 5x Death company marines with jump packs for a combined total of 34PL on or before 2359 UTC March 12th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Blood Angels, whilst failure is not an option... Finally got everything built. Took most of the day to cut the arms in pieces and put them back together in different poses. Now I just have to wait for the green stuff to cure, and spray everything tomorrow evening for pictures.

brother_b Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Alas I was unable to participate, real life prevails sometimes. I'll be out of the area next week as well on some work-related training.

BluejayJunior Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Vow completed. 5 Vanguard Vets with jumppack. Had to do some cutting and gluing to get a left-handed power sword on a right hand and 2 right-handed plasma pistols on left hands. (They were taken from other kits.) And a dreadnought and furioso dreadnought. (Plus a WIP Furioso in the background) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345016-bz-2018-blood-angels-elites-stratagem/page/4/#findComment-5029876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
