ETL: Assemble the Legion!

Impressive list, m_r_parker. Completing that will be quite the feat. I'm actually impressed that you have so many models build but not painted :biggrin.:

 

Errr .... yeah, it's not like I've got a wardrobe full of models that are either at the assembled or spray-based stage, sitting around not doing anything :whistling:

 

I'll be honest, painting isn't really my forte. I rarely get anything close to the point of being 'acceptable' before my mind wanders to some other project. Like those new Alpha Legion terminators that were revealed last week, or the couple of boxes of Orlock gangers I have waiting to be built once the weapon kits get released. 

 

And the one thing I was thinking just a few hours ago was "Should I be making one or two larger vows instead of three smaller ones? With three months and certainly a limit to the number of vows, are you limiting yourself to what you could do?", and that will ultimately be my pitfall - overreaching and overcommitting. Need to resist that and keep them small and, ultimately, completed. 

 

But, this is what the ETL is for - getting models completed. 

So when does this actually start?   I am going to try to pledge something but it will be small.  Problem is most of my army is in the midst of painting, and I have been working on painting stuff for a escalation build league I am participating in at my local store.   That makes a vow a bit harder.  But I do have a 6 man squad of intercessors I just assembled but can hold off on painting for a couple of weeks, and a predator that is just primed black.  It isn't much but its better than nothing.  I might be able to add something else towards the end of may, it just all depends on when I get this done and how much time i have left after painting what I am trying to field for this league.  

 

update:   So I just looked at the dates.   15th of may till August.  I Should be able to participate a little, just means I need to hold some stuff off from the brush.  Unfortunatel that squad of intercessors needs to be done, so will have to work on assembling the rest of the dark imperium primaris I just aquired over the weekend for that need.  I will have some stuff, but right now, the only model that doesn't have paint on it that is assembled is the predator.  I do have a blackknight squad I have to finish converting up and a sammael conversion to finish, plus the anniversary captain I can't pick up till the 19th of may.   There is also that second interecessor squad from dark imperium and hell blasters that I need to assemble, and I guess I can always use another Lieutenant.    So there will be some things, just not my already assembled models.

It's gonna start on the 1st of May and ends at on the 1st of August.

Any small initial vow is gonna help a bunch, frater.

So I guess the image is wrong, as the image you posted in the ETL thread said 15th of may to 15th of august.  the 1st works out better for me to get another unit added, so I am happy with that.  Just making sure.  

 

What? Where?

I almost went to the Apothecarion... :laugh.:

A physical health check before such a big event is not a bad idea... and a mental health check after :tongue.:

Stormraven assembled and partially glued. Now the big question Bone, Black or Green?

Black would be easiest, but I think I could use it to deploy my Deathwing Knights.

What's best deployed in a Stormraven?

Do it Bone Lost!!!

 

I certainly intend to as well once I finally get a SR (or two ;) )  give us some inspiration :D

 

Whilst fluff has put flyers in one basket in the past, now we have RW and Green flyers so why not bone too? Same logic as painting Landraiders Bone, do it!!!

A reconnaissance report from the Master of the 10th Company has arrived, and it appears that in the coming campaign the DA can legitimately use some support from the Titan Legions loyal to the Emperor; his scouts have located evidence of Trailors and Xenos war machines so the mighty Legio Atarus is preparing at least one God Machine to Walk with us.

Lostrael, do that raven in green! It's not a Ravenwing flyer afterall, and real terminators don't need babysitting in a box :wink:

 

When I get around to my stormraven, I'll do mine in green.

 

Now that Stobz has decided upon crowning himself King in Slackland with that Warhound pledged, I have a Knight Castigator that is primed in two colors, as I sprayed them before final assembly. Would that be legit? I would love to get it painted, and after having had it on the table for the first time, and afterwards remagnetising it, I feel it would be a good first pledge. Hint: Color scheme will of course match that of my avatar picture. First Legion always!
