Halandaar Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Still waiting for my bits delivery before I commit to anything.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Progress already! I've also just worked out who the Templar Venerable Dread was. He was clearly the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail! (Now I just need a sword and to write 'None Shall Pass' on his shield...)

(Now I just need a sword and to write 'None Shall Pass' on his shield...) Maybe you should just have put the torso on the base without the arms or legs, and given him a banner reading "I'll bite your legs off!"

+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I haven't taken any pictures yet so I can't officially vow, but I'm excited to have received in the mail, bits for sternguard, and two terminator squads. I also have a standard bearer who needs to be built and some 100% kitbashed cenobytes. I'll probably vow one unit at a time because I'm not sure how much time I'll have this week. But I'm excited!

tvih Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hmm, I guess I could probably do a tartaros squad at least. I've no idea how I would be running them on the tabletop though. They really lost their edge compared to normal shooty termies since they have no sweeping in 8th. Other things could be some veteran bikes and uh, maybe a 5-man jump vanguard squad. Actually maybe a dreadnought too, it's not in sprues but I'm not sure if I glued any of it yet or anything so it might be viable for this. Gotta take a closer look before I make my vow.

CantusMaximGloria Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Vow complete, now I'll sit and twiddle my chainswords while I watch my brothers win us yet greater glory! Rye I am stoked to see what you do with those Centurions, they have amazing character in the kit. Hope you have as much fun building them as I did!

Halandaar Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The Blood Angels have a lot of vows in this category, but very few completions. It's there for the taking if we can get some more vows together! Remember that there are a lot of easy points to be had in this category; single models like Company Ancients are worth 4 Power each. I reckon there are a lot of potential Company Champions and Ancients lurking in people's bits boxes!

+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Update: Termies are assembled but I'll have to wait til later to basecoat them. I want to do another assault terminator squad but the torso bits never arrived. Maybe I'll vow a company ancient or something when these guys are done.

rye0006 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't think I'm going to be able to fulfil my vow I'm afraid. It was always going to be pushing it with a 6 week old daughter, our first mother's day, and marking coursework. Plus I want to do more to the models to add some dynamism and Templar style. And the weather forecast doesn't sound conducive to undercoating. So all in all, I think it's best to not be counting on me I'm afraid.

tvih Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I just realized that making the vow - or rather actually being able to fulfill it as well - depends on my black spray situation. All of my gazillion current ones are empty, clogged or just spraying some worthless watery crap. Might have to shell out for a GW spray once more to get a reliable one, but not sure if I can get myself to go to the FLGS tomorrow (been ill for the past week).

Cognative Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I Cognative, rise to the Elite challenge of Blood & Zeal and vow to build 2x Apothecaries, 1 Ancient, One Chapter Champion with Thunder Hammer, one Company Champion, and one Cataphractii Terminator squad for a combined total of 29 points plus any conversion points on or before 2359 UTC March 12th, 2018. Success will bring honour to the Black Templars Faction, Sigismund, and Helbrecht, whilst failure is not an option... https://imgur.com/a/2xXx1 The Company Champions torso is already glued as I got a bit too ZEALOUS and forgot my pictures for a minute, hope that's ok. If not I'll remove him from my vow. Edit: and I just noticed I'm missing a pauldron for one Apothecary in a picture. Whoops. He will have one in the final pic.
