Bonehead Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Meanwhile progress continues along at the same crawl for the mere mortals among us: Three more done but for the bases, rounding out my command HQ, and three more squaddies well along the way. I've also ordered another twenty plus a few extra bits for conversions/tank riders etc. I'm waiting on Victoria Lamb to get onto the rough riders she teased, and also for Grim Prints to model the 40k-ified US halftracks he promised. I was thinking about getting some of the Blood and Skulls conversion parts to make chimeras look like Warsaw Pact-style 8 wheeled apcs but I've never really liked the look. They'll stay infantry for now. I might see if anyone does a decent T-54-ified Russ analogue to match the theming, but none of that's relevant to the challenge here. Nearly there, everyone. Good luck for the last ten days or so duz_, apologist, GreenScorpion and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Further Update. Cracking on with some of the sponson/hull weapons now moving onto the turret weapons. GreenScorpion, duz_, elmo and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hey guys. Unfortunately my latest pledge will be my last, my degree and work are taking a lot of time now, so im unable to get much more done. Thanks for the support and drive to get this lot painted, and im amazed ive been able to get so much done. Congrats hiroitchi for getting so much done, with basing and vehicles he had me beat anyway, but hes a machine. elmo, Brother-Chaplain Kage, GreenScorpion and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenScorpion Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 @greatcrusade08 You have been quite an excellent participant in this event and I am happy the event has managed to inspire so many people to make progress on their armies. As things stand you are still the current record owner for most models in the Troops slot, although hiroitchi is certainly ahead overall. duz_ and Hiroitchi 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a coffee or a bottle of vastly superior hobgoblin to sip when your painting. Do you need any more Fausts or assorted WW1-WW2 German bits? Got tons of leftovers from the WGA Space Brits as well if you need anything. ++EDIT++ Totally forgot I bought a WW1 British paint set, theres a shade in there thats verrrrry close to Steel Legion Drab, maybe a touch lighter but with the amount of ink I use I doubt anyone will notice... Looks like I have no excuses now lol. For those of you that dabble in historicals, this is the paint set Im on about.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'm still alive and in this thing!

Hiroitchi Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Completed the next 20x Cadian shock troopers and finished SGT ripper Jackson. All and all a good day and I can’t wait this weekend to work on the New models. @greatcrusade08 bro you really made this fun and such a great motivation to get things painted up.

Turret weapons are done, just Hvy flamers, lascannon and the turret and sponsons themselves to go. Not going to win a speed awards here, but it is crazy how quickly some of you are knocking completions off to such a high standard...bravo.

GreenScorpion Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 The pledge list should be up to date with everything posted so far. Once the event reaches the end I will review the list and see if I missed something or counted something wrongly, but if you spot something wrong please let me know and I will fix it. When the full thing is checked I will award the badges that you have earned during the event, which you can later display on your signature or elsewhere as you please Hiroitchi, duz_ and TCC 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehead Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Nice one TCC. And I follow just behind with my last three squaddies to round out my pledges. I appreciate the helmetless one looks a bit odd, but it's the flash. Honest. Anyway, following on from the final three, here's a shot of the whole lot I finished during the challenge. Nowhere near Hiroitchi or GreatCrusade but I'm still happy. All in I've managed an entire infantry section, a command HQ and a six-trooper flamer section as per my out of date codex, along with a sentinel and a bonus missile launcher team. Oh and after all that the damn sndbags for the mortar teams finally arrived, in the right scale this time. EDIT- I missed a couple of troopers- there are actually a couple more I've done as part of the challenge, but I couldn't remember which ones they were.

Trokair Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) 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. I present Armoured Fist Squad Alef Spoiler And completed earlier one Enginseer.
