+++ Sally Forth: Hobby Challenge +++

[duz_]

Commanders!

We have seen many of the Emperors loyal sons and daughters receive needed gifts from Terra and the AdMech.
Some may feel slighted, that the fiercest of his fighting force are yet to gain any meaningful reinforcements.

Such talk is heresy! The guard do not require such gifts! We shall continue to sally forth, with our proven and trusted lasguns and under the eternal bellows of Leman Russ cannons!

To show your on-going duties to the Emperor new orders have been issued:





Objective:
Raise 1 unit to be parade ready (assembled and painted) by 28 - 2.

• This unit may already be pre-assembled and primed, or yet to be built.

Critical dates:

• Jan 1 - 14: Sign up period
  • All participants must register before the 14th 23:59 in their local time
  • Once you have made your pledge and posted your before picture, you may commence building and or painting the pledged unit
  • To enter, post your before picture with your pledge:

"In the name of the Emperor and Lord Commander , I Commander <name> of the <regiment>, shall raise a <unit> by 28th February."

• ​​Jan 1 - Feb 28: Hobby period
  • Hobby in earnest! WIP and update posts are encouraged!

Before pik added above. 

[The Pounder]

 

In the name of the Emperor and Lord Commander , I Commander Marius Konstantin of the 3rd Death Korps of Krieg Siege Regiment , shall raise a Deathrider Squadron by 29th February.

 

This has come at the perfect time for me! I just finished building my first Deathriders Squadron last night.

 

Should help keep me motivated.

Great to see some early pledges! And some death riders nonetheless  

 

I need to dig around my pile of shame and see what hasn't been partially painted so I can join in and finish in time!

[The Pounder]

Well in the spirit of “start as you mean to go on” I’ve finished my Ridemaster!

Sorry duz_ my photography still hasn’t improved!!

 

Just another 7 for this submission!

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s vows taking shape.

[Slave to Darkness]

Missed a bit.

 

Joke

 

 

 

 

Just put a Cadian missile launcher on one of the WGA Grognards, damn thats one massive boom stick! :lol:

[WarriorFish]

Excellent start already comrades!

Remember always that glory waits for none; it must be seized!

I need to review things available and feasible as well as what I may want to wrangle in lists... watch this space

"In the name of the Emperor and Lord Commander , I Commander TCC of the Cadian 8th, shall raise a Valkyrie by 29th February."

 

Valkyrie progress…

 

 

[duz_]

Great work TCC! :tu:

You're halfway through and I'm still deciding on my vow...

I think i may have found a worthy one which will certainly push my painting speed ;)

[The Pounder]

Looks great TCC!

 

Slave to Darkness, haha! I always miss a bit!

 

More, more, more!

[Sviar]

"In the name of the Emperor and Lord Commander , I Commander Sviar of the Valhallan 77th, shall raise a Special fire team by 29th February."

[The Pounder]

Don’t often see Valhallans. Can’t wait to see your paint scheme!

[TCC]

I have the engines and side gunners left to complete.

This pleases the commissariat, keep the vows and pictures coming everyone :tu: My times and plans are going a bit squiffy so I have some catching up to do elsewhere, but I will be addressing my vow as soon as this is sorted. I'm feeling something Stormtrooper... but I might see what plans the Emperor has for me.

[Slave to Darkness]

 I'm feeling something Stormtrooper... but I might see what plans the Emperor has for me.

I need to lay off the history books, I imagined Star Wars Stormtroopers wearing Hugo Boss armour. Think its time I left the house and spoke to actual people for once. :lol: 

[duz_]

Welcome to the challenge Sviar! Can't wait to see those Valhallans!
Impressive work TCC, looks like it'll be finished soon
Looking forward to seeing your vow too WF!

Meanwhile, what I thought would be a solid 6 weeks of hobby for me during this challenge has changed somewhat abruptly. This is why the updated list is somewhat delayed and now I have to reassess what I will vow.

I had originally considered a full 10 man Mordian squad, since I was meant to be a bachelor the next 5 weeks. However that is no longer the case and I will be taking some time off. So I need to figure out what else I have that I know I can make the Emperor proud with.

 

On that note:

Less than 4 days to pledge your vow for the Emperor!

In the name of the Emperor and Lord Commander , I Commander Commissar Roach of the Helvinic 78th Mechanized Infantry, shall raise a Mortar section by 29th February.

 

just need the rest of the legs and bodies to show up before I can truly start

[MedicMike0708]

Alright, this project has waited long enough, while I slept empires rose and fell (more accurately "while I procrastinated the hobby company seems to not be producing anymore, and the project has moved to legends" haha)

In the name of the Emperor and Lord Commander , I Commander MedicMike of the Mordian 19th, shall raise a Lancer Heavy Cavalry Unit (Rough Riders) by 29th February.

This is a project I planned out a few years ago but never got around to building. you can see the horses are undercoated repaints of warhammer fantasy armoured horse.

the troopers are colonial empire cavalry from a company called "Curious Constructs" which doesn't seem to be actively producing new stock. I will be doing head swaps either from metal mordians using a jeweler's saw or using plastic cadian officers heads although i think they might be over large. missing from the photo: heads, thin diameter dowel for lance shafts, pistols, and special weapons, oval 72mm bases (ordered)

[Lord Marshal]

Completely missed this, since I naively got used to challenges appearing in the banner on the top of the website. 

 

I'll have to poke around and see what kits I've unassembled...
