I hope that I will be able to finish it at least this year

Thanks for running this event, toaae. It was a lot of fun to participate and see everyone else's work, plus it really helped to keep me motivated -- hope you've got more planned :-)

[nusphigor]

Aaaahhhhh! I didn't finish my warboss :'(

[01RTB01]

Congratulations to everyone that completed stuff :D

 

I can only apologise for my appalling showing this year! If possible I'd love for the thread to keep being pinned - I will finish my pledge! Lol

Congrats to everybody who finished and big thanks to toaae for running it!

 

I bit off way more than I could chew for this event and then had a pretty hectic couple of months, so I only managed to finish the Warboss and 10 Boys, and put a few base coats down on another 10 and the Deffkoptas. I'll call that a personal win for now, and hey, I have something to vow for next year's event 

[Crom's Will]

Really lovely to go through the pictures and see the orkiness. Good show, everyone.

++ORKTOBERFEST 2021 FINAL REPORT++

A proppa' scrap!

Two months have elapsed and the Bolter & Chainsword's first Orktoberfest event has come to an end! Warbosses board-wide managed to scroll their way down to this little sub-forum, giving us twenty-seven participants pledging over three hundred models, more than I could really have hoped for. But it wasn't just empty promises; this little community deep on the board really bought in. We had many participants complete some number of models, WiP photos shared, and encouragement thrown about in a thread with more than a hundred and sixty responses.

Da numbas

In the WAAAGH! on gray plastic, the Orks sub-forum saw thirteen participants complete a total of twenty-one pledges. In total, over 5,000 points were promised and completed. They ranged from the lowliest bomb-squig through boys, beast snaggas, squigs, dreads, and all the way up to and including a stompa. We had nearly every battlefield role represented (just missing a Flyer).

Da Loot

In recognition of their ability to make a pledge and complete it within the constraints of this event, I'm proud to recognize the following Frater:

Da Boyz - for completing any pledge

Grotsmasha

Da Boss - for completing the most points across all participants

Crom's Will

Da Rokker - for completing the absolute most points across all participants and having some awesome Goff Rokkers

Thank you all so much for your passionate participation in this event! Since being promoted to the MODERATI, I've been wanting to run an event. It's been a rough couple of years for me, hobby-wise, as I'm sure it hasn't been great on others. To see such excitement and buy-in was a true delight, and it was a pleasant learning experience. I've already got ideas to expand for next year.

Ya See …we didn’t lose nuthin coz we can still do it … (A true orky outlook on the competition)

@toaee you missed my completed vow mate

@toaee you missed my completed vow mate

 

Whoops !, The Van left without the band !! :-D

The truth is, I'm bad at instagram, and didn't realize there were more pictures after the Goff Rockas. In hindsight, I feel silly that I didn't work that out, going as far to check other posts and even went to your twitch to look and see if a recent broadcast had shown off the whole lot. Turns out, I just needed to mouse over the picture and notice there was an arrow on the side to see the next one.

 

In light of my bone-headed mistake, I'll work to get you a special recognition before the end of the weekend.

[Holier Than Thou]

Well done all, and well done Toaae on a successful first event.

[Dumah]

Cheers everyone! This event was great for my motivation to get back into the hobby side of things. To be honest, I never before put very much effort into painting but now I've got a taste for doing it, and doing it right. I've already learned a lot through trial and error and I'm excited to keep on learning and improving. WAAAGH!!

@toaee you missed my completed vow mate

 

 

Ok, I've added you on. Because this was my mistake, I didn't want to downgrade Crom's Will. Special thanks to Grotsmasha for making another badge to award, you've earned "Da Rokker" badge!

 

My sincerest apologies for leaving you off the first time.

And since some had expressed wanting to keep the thread up so they could try and finish. In light of that, I'll keep the thread pinned until the end of the month.

[Ace Debonair]

I's proud ter 'ave been a part of it! 

 

But it's time ta get back to Boss L'Gorg an' let 'im know wot 'appened 'ere.

(Talking in Ork is hard work, but I feel like it's been the right thing to do !

 

I've promised myself no more new models until I finish at least one non-ork faction in my pile of grey plastic, but seeing the amazing stuff on show here has made it really hard to keep that promise.   Many thanks for running this event Toaae, it's been a lot of fun!)

Big shout out again to Toaae. Great event and been fab seeing so many bosses and meks at work.

 

I need to and will, finish my vow but Wade's Blood axe article on WarCom got my creative juices going. Beastboss on carnifex (squigosaur), nob on looted smasha sentinels (squigs), kommandos kit bashed with snaggas for death skull boys loaded with looted gubbins alongside the looted land speeder, rhino and kastellan bots and ogryns. I've got a plan! Lol. All I need is a huge chunk of time and less migraines...
