Vow complete

 

 

[Brother Christopher]

I realised that I haven't posted my completion here. September vow complete.

 

 

[LameBeard]

@Grotsmasha could you randomise me a Heresy Legion for an October model vow please?

[Brother Argent]

Well I am done.  Got more done this month then the past two combined.  Some of the models aren't to where I want them to be but I am done.  I need a break.

 

 

Excuse the over exposed photo but that is all I vowed this month that I hadn't completed yet.  i let myself get way behind in the Call to Arms and only managed to salvage a completion of my Imperium vow and not my Xenos or Chaos.  It may sound silly but I am horribly disappointed in myself and will walk a path of penance shortly.

 

But for now I am done.  I need a few days away from a paint brush.  Why do I do this to myself...?

[Lork]

I, DrGlove, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete one Assault Intercessor and 6 Inercessors by month’s end.

[Paladin777]

I, Paladin777 , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete one Farseer by month's end.

the last three months were a mad dash, so I'm taking this month kinda easy. 

 

[ThatOneWurm]

I, ThatOneWurm, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete 1x Knight Abominant and 1x War Dog Karnivore by month's end.
 

[Grotsmasha]

Apologies for being so far behind with the Awards and tracking, once I've tallied and wrapped up the Call to Arms, it'll be my first priority

[Grotsmasha]

For my Orktober vow, Ima finish my own Ghazghull after really enjoying the commission version completed for Call to Arms,

 

 

 

additionally, should time permit, I'll look at getting my Bayards Revenge done too, BUT I do still have two large commissions on the go.

 

[Kennyjapan]

I didn't know what I felt like painting for Oct. So I decided to leave it in the hands of the dice gods (In hindsight a silly idea as they've never really liked me) and so...

 

I, Kennyjapan, for the month of October, vow to complete the following

 

Ultramarines

1x 10man Tactical Squad (At least one of them only needs basing)

4x Indomitus Terminators

1x Dreadnought/Telemechrus

 

Generic Multi-Legion usable

1x Xiphon

1x Lots of cursing at the dice gods

[Brother Christopher]

@Jolemai Great and fast work on the Thunderhawk! I'm looking forward to the upgrade from the 'battle ready' status and seeing the model with the canopy.

[Lord_Ikka]

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of October two Crag-pattern walkers for Necromunda and one Goliath truck. 

 

Edited October 3, 2023 by Lord_Ikka

[Trokair]

For October I vow 10 angry dwarfs and a wizard with his ravens.

 

[Ace Debonair]

You know what, I think I'm going to do something a little out of the ordinary.

 

A few months back I took my first ever models to my local GW for a "show off your earliest models" event. I also took along my three Assault Intercessors for my White Hawks Kill Team as a point of comparison, and - long story short - I've been thinking about remaking one of my First-Ever-Marines, modelled and painted up to my current standards.

 

I mean, the available kits are different now, and even if I copy the colours (which involves a lot of orange), it's going to look different anyway, but the idea of seeing how far I can take my old ideas has a strong, strong appeal. It's like... a kind of vindication for my younger self, who didn't know how to make this brightly coloured mess actually look cool.

 

Since I now happen to have a box of Intercessors, and need to paint up two or three for my White Hawks anyway... well, why not?

So:

 

For the month of October, I, Ace Debonair, vow to complete One (1) Primaris Intercessor of the White Hawks! May The Emperor never know my name should I fail.

 

 

Please disregard the melta hung from this old marine's belt (by its fuel cord, no less): I was very young and determined to use every possible bit of the kit to get my money's worth out of it. 

 

Now I know sometimes less is more, and also that a bitz box can always use a spare special weapon or two.

[Boc]

I, Boc, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete 2x forgefiends, 1 master of possession, and a 5 model Dark Commune by month's end.

 

Spoiler

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Adding to my vow this Medium vehicle for Necromunda Ash Wastes. 

 

 

Looks like its Ash Wastes vehicle month for me!

[Dwango]

I, Dwango, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete 1 knight aberrant, 1 knight magera/ rampager and 2x wardogs by month's end.

 

These were started last year I believe and are now going to be either finished or repainted. Some will be used in my dark mech force as well as a chaos knight force. I have foolishly signed up for an Iron Man challenge where I'll play five 2k games in a day for charity. I was going to play my eldar but I've changed to a lower model count. Playing into the mental fatigue. Let's hope it works. 

 

I may add some more dark mech if I crack on with these, plus there will be another one off the plodding along vow I think. 

[Rogue]

Another "Definitely the last regular neophytes I need" post, as I slowly build up to a third block of twenty neophytes (assuming I can ever find seismic cannons again).

 

 

I, Rogue, vow to complete two neophytes before the end of October.

[Ace Debonair]

How it started:

 

How it's going:

 

In other words: Vow complete! 

For the first time in about - what, fifteen years? A White Hawk is using the hat that came with the kit. 

 

More pics (ie -a bunch of side-by-sides) in the spoilers below:

 

My first marine and his reincarnation, looking like take-your-child-to-work day.

The quartered kneepad is a shout-out to the rest of my first squad, who were way more knights-in-space and way less space-monster-hunters.

 



Orange gun casings are of course a sign of honour in the White Hawks, probably something to do with the First Company.

 



Little marine wondering why he didn't get a Chapter symbol; the answer is that it took eighteen years for me to come up with one I could reliably paint.

 



Orange on the backpack is just a sign that younger me was bananas. I guess that can be honour markings too, although I have no idea what honourable deed a power pack can have done.

I also invite everyone to notice the gun barrels are both black, which I don't usually do anymore. 

 

This was a lot of fun. I might have to do "remakes" for one or two of my other marines at some point. 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

Sounds like a fun project, and there's a definite improvement from old to new
