Compared to the output of some of you lot (crazy numbers, seriously well done!) my little pledge  is a drop in the ocean, but I have now completed all of it and am happy with the results. In fact I am planning on expanding it to 1,000 points or thereabout over the course of this year.

 

Dude as long as you accomplish the goals you set yourself, you're golden in my book. Great work and keep up the hobby man.

Progress is progress, brother, not matter the amount.

 

And my entry that's taken me so long to get going is one dwarfed by just about everyone.

Showing that I am slowly cranking these guys out. Just basecoats so far, but I definitely picked a great camo scheme that needs a lot of retouching for all the straight lines in a timed event.

stared work on the 50mm bases for the 3x3 mortar teams. Tbh I am loving they are on 50s so I might just do that for my older HWTs.

The finish line is on sight. Sponsons and turret finished. Just the final three weapons and further weathering to go to get one more completion from the pile of shame. :biggrin:

Found a way to enhance my pledges yet further that I thought you might all enjoy. Working streetlights!

Fun but expensive. Would not recommend unless you have lots of cash, but man do they help with the atmosphere.

Incidentally, I do not have loads of cash. But I've gone and spent it anyway. Idiot.

@Hiroitchi Awesome work on the tanks and love the display board. Your doing more to make me want to get the Dorn then GW has. 

 

Well got a pict of the final 12 models for my vows. I'll have to mix these into my army after I get a few more just basic las gunners done later.

Looking at this I need to get a better pict, I use my phone and it looked ok, but on the larger screen yeah no.

I'll also set up a group shot of all of my vow this weekend. Sorry about this.

Hiroitchi, man you’re a Machine. As said I’m now inspired to work on my own Rogal Dorn now!


do it and let’s see it!

 

I did however finish my Lord Solar Leontus today. I was going to do something with the banner but I left it alone due to my cat breaking it. Lol

some amazing pledges here guys, great work.

not only does hiroitchi amaze me with his painting speed, the end results are brilliant too.

 

my last little pledge is complete. group photo coming later

I know basing isn't a requirement for this challenge but I didn't want to secure the models to their bases and then try to base around them later. Might have spent too much time trying to come up with an idea and then finally getting it done, but I'm pretty sure I can still finish in time.

I'm calling this done. Fantastic work from everyone. The speed at which some of you can turn these around in such high quality is scary! Here's my little LRBT pledge. Thanks to the organisers for running the event.

Can I get clarification please of when the challenge concludes? Must I have photos upload by February 3 at 23:59 or February 4th at that same time? 

@MedicMike0708 The photos can be uploaded until February 4th 23:59 (I will give a couple more hours to account for different time zones don't worry).

 

 

For the rest, I want to thank you for the participation and I will evaluate the results on February 5th and make sure I didn't miss anything before issuing the badges based on the completed models. Once the evaluation is done I will post the list with the corresponding badges.

I did some quick math and in roughly 2 months you have completed over 500 models!
