Tried some new things , learned some new things , moving on to Vow 3

[SlimothyJ]

I, SlimothyJ, hereby vow the following force of a Phobos Captain, Reiver Lieutenant, Invictor Warsuit, and Eliminator Squad totalling 405 points to the Eternal Crusade before the end of January (2022). I enter with the mark of the Neophyte, and through the trials of fate and fire, rise to the rank of Initiate by journey's end as a true brethren of the Black Templar order.  Should I fail in my vow, I will bear the mark of failure until year's end as repentance.

I, SlimothyJ, vow that my Phobos Marshal (95), Reiver Castellan (75), Invictor Tactical Warsuit (160) and Eliminator Squad (75) will be complete by the end of January 2022, for a total of 405pts. I've been putting this Tactical Suit off for like a year and it's a shame for such a cool unit to sit by unpainted. Should I fail in this vow, I shall bear my mark of shame. 

Thank you for giving me this initiative, brother.

No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!

I wanted to start my next vow after finishing some Deathguard and forgot to take a pic befor starting

Would it still be posible to vow them?

Serious props on that model, love seeing OG termies popping up.

[Brother Carpenter]

It's actually a Nice model.

I had to strip it before entering. It was bedecked in a liberal coating of undiluted paints

[sibomots]

So I think I missed the fine print.

 

A model that has already been glued together, and maybe primed can be the beginning of a vow?

 

If so, heh, heh,  I got a Crusader worthy assembled and de-burred  Titan in a box ready to prime... 

Except that I assembled it about 5 years ago during 8E Black Templar era.   

 

I better get my current vow #1 completed soon!  I don't think I'll have time to get to vow #2 if there is one.

 

I haven't lifted a brush to a model in a very long time.

 

But anyway -- please clarify if I misunderstood...  Assembled even primed models can be the starting point?  I started vow #1 with parts-in-sprue to be on the safe side.

 

Update:  I've rescanned the thread and I asked the question in error.  Primed seemed to be OK.  My mistake.  Disregard.

 

Edit: Just testing time-zone setting. Disregard.

Be it known that after many an hour, three heavy metal brothers join the Eternal Crusade!

 

Vow 1 complete!

 

 

 

Onto vow 2:

 

Furthermore, upon earlier approval, I hereby vow to paint a metal High Marshal Helbrecht - an equivalent of 160 points - to the Eternal Crusade before the end of January (2022). Should I fail in my vow, I will bear the mark of failure until year's end as repentance.

 

[Urkh]

Those faces are nicely done!

[Dangerman]

I, Dangerman, hereby vow the following force of a Bladeguard Ancient (85pts) and 'Classic' Marshal (100pts) to the Eternal Crusade before the end of January (2022). I enter with the mark of the Neophyte, and through the trials of fate and fire, rise to the rank of Initiate by journey's end as a true brethren of the Black Templar order. Should I fail in my vow, I will bear the mark of failure until year's end as repentance.

My vow is complete...

[Brother Carpenter]

Nice mini's

[Brother Kraskor]

My second Vow is complete!

 

[ronin_cse]

Honestly haven't painted a model in about 2 years, and haven't really played in that time either, so starting small with a single Marshal. Anyways:

[Lord Blackwood]

Vow 3 is done , some additional shots of the bladeguard in my personal thread. 
Contemplating Vow 4 , depends on if I  get that Tor Garadon I wanted to kitbash in time. 

[TheOneTrueZon]

Message received.   Arthritis be damned!   What is the phrase -- The Crusade is Eternal.   

 

I'm actually epically stoked on getting my vow completed.   Every BT should make a vow, IMHO.  Thank you for your hard work in wrangling the event.

[Brother Christopher]

A true blast from the past! Great addition to the challenge, Brother Carpenter. Congratulations on your completed vow!

[Gederas]

I'm nearly finished on my vow, just have the Primaris Marshal to finish outside of highlights and some cleanup and the Chaplains to do.

 

Bad news: I've lost the base for the Marshal, the one that's specific for his leg pose. So that's fun.... :lol:

[Marshal Reinhard]

Nearly done too, but waiting on paints because the tabards are all too dull looking. Think it'll be my only vow, as the next few characters I'm planning on taking my sweet time with...

Improvise something? One brother did a cool kitbash with that limited sergeant from recently. At worst you could probalby get away with some rocks and sand.

[Opprobrium]

First (and only) vow, complete!

[Brother Carpenter]

That is one heck of a mini Opprobrium!

Very nice.

[Crom's Will]

My vow is complete.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Vow Complete!

Marshal and Castellan:

Sword Brethren:

Note that the third (old sword brother) and seventh (other castellan) models not actually part of the vow. Thus the fact that I completely forgot to finish the lantern on the not included castellan has no bearing on the validity of the completion status of this vow. I swear I'm not the disorganized sort...

Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable making a second vow given the time logistics left. Also Grimmy is already far too gone to be viable for vowing...
