[Jam Master Flex]

My vow is complete. Ended up with a load of time to paint today so here is "Kingslayer"; my Stygies Tank Destroyer:

Think I'm going to go and repaint my old tanks from when I first got back into 40k last January, or maybe sell them and buy some new ones to get some real love!

Nice work on the completion! :tu:

That's why I have 2 new tanks to build and paint. I offloaded my previous 5 to a friend so I could repaint / change the scheme and properly magnetise my new ones :D

[Henimann]

First squad done!

 

 

 

Still might need a few small things touched up, but these guys are good to go!   Hoping to get started on my next infantry squad this weekend.

That is a lofty vow Snorkle, all the best! And well done Henimann the Commissariat is pleased with you both! Continue the hard work troops!

Meanwhile I have finished building and fully magnetising (thanks to Elmos tutorial in the barracks) my first vow:

I do have to find where my tank track bits are though.

You may also notice a buddy being built too! Since I probably wont be able to paint for ~3 weeks I figured I'd try and get a head start on my next potential vow ;)

Also its been so long since I built a LR I forgot how much fun they could be so wanted to keep the momentum going.

[WarriorFish]

Great stuff comrades! More solid vows are always welcome and keep the excellent progress pictures coming :tu:

 

Sadly I have a busy weekend ahead of me (though at least it does involve some 40k!), so I'll be back at the hobby desk next week aiming to match your dedication :D

[Captain Semper]

Can it be? Is the Guard re-awakened? AT LONG LAST ON TO THE OFFENSIVE!

 

@ Bluflash: Welcome to the ETL man, much needed reinforcements there! Good luck! 

 

@ snorkle: And a follow-up, even heftier than the first! That's the spirit!

 

@ Jam Master Flex: WOW! This barrel is... something! Congratulations on your completion Jam, amazing work all around. I sure hope you make a follow-up!

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[WarriorFish]

Great work THUNDER! The camo on your tanks is really nice, the lovely blue complements it well too :tu:

More vows coming in and more completed models, great work comrades the commissariat expects no less ;)

[Captain Semper]

Welcome to the new recruits - that's great news for the Guard! And congrats to THUNDER for the marvellous work! Keep going mate!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[WarriorFish]

I'm plodding along with my vow - I underestimated how much metallic work is required to get going. On the positive side that means once that's done the rest of the models won't take as long as thought Keep the topic updated with your progress comrades :D

[Captain Semper]

THIS IS THE CUT-OFF FOR THE WEEKLY UPDATE - EVERY VOW OR COMPLETION REPORTED BEYOND THIS POINT WILL COUNT FOR NEXT WEEK'S UPDATE.

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Danny Cyanide]

I've got 5 more days in Paradise, then I'll hit my vow hard! Great work everyone that's been carrying out forum so far! Everything looks great!

[walter h]

I, walter h, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the ASTRA MILITARUM and vow to complete

 

1. Icarus cannon (25 pt's )

2. Imperial Bastion + 4 Heavy Bolters (160 pt's)

3. Aegis Defense Line (75 pt's)

4. Quad  Autocannon (30 pt's)

If I got it right (322 pt's)

 on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end

[WarriorFish]

That's an unusual vow as we usually see units, looking forward to seeing it done :tu:

Hey comrades,

 

Great work everyone! The guard is showing up in force!

 

Vow #2 is finished!

 

 

It took a little bit longer than the first one, but I'm super happy with how everyone came out. 

 

@lionofjudah

I tallied up points for the armoured company, very impressive vow btw, assuming basic armament on everyone except for one russ with bolter sponsons it came out to 2635 points.
