My vow is complete.

 

I have a feeling it will be a little while before I get back to the Imperium Stronghold.

Lovely work brother, classic

[Bouargh]

After completing my 3 vows in the Xenos´ forum, it is high time for me to pray for my redemption. As it is, I, Bouargh, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 4 ooP rhino chassis tanks for a total of 20 pts for the Glory of Adeptus Astartes and the Imperium Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end and a redemptive Crusade (and reclaim the worlds lost to the fool Aeldarii I suported in the other Stronghold).

 

Spoiler

 

The Rhino with SPaced Armour is a repainting while the 3 other tanks will see paint for the first time.

 

Game wise I used the Predator with the Vehicle Design Rules to get a proxy Baal Predator for my SM at the time the VDR rules terified the battlefields. The various spares from early Sororitas tanks were used to personalize some Rhinos and to do a proxy Infernum Razorback (on the right) 

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch, heed the Call to Arms for the Imperium and pledge to paint seven infantry (7x1), a heavy weapons team (1x2), and four characters (4x5) for a total of twenty-nine points for the Glory of the Adeptus Astartes on or before September 30, 2023, or bear the badge of failure til year's end.

 

Alright, I've been meaning to make this vow for a bit but have been away and/or not able to get to the painting table. Included in that vow are two old metal chaplains (one of whom I've magnetized for both Jump operations and on-foot ops), and I may even toss in another chaplain I got second-hand but don't want to fully strip and repaint as a bonus non-scoring model.

 

There's only one complicated paint scheme in this mix, so hopefully it goes smoothly.

[TheHyperion]

My vow has been completed for the glory of Dorn and the Crimson Fists. (I am not basing until the person I split the box with has their scheme down and tested so I can match.) These models were very fun to paint and I want to thank everyone for putting up the event! Great for the painting motivation. Good luck to everyone in pursuit of completion in their hobby goals.

[Lord_Ikka]

Quick update of my progress, almost all of my SM forces done aside from a few characters. Will finish those and hopefully start the SoB soon....

Oops. Just realised I've been painting 5 more Marines than I pledged 

 

 

Glossed parts ready for transfers. Then gloss all over, oil wash, matt varnish, and basing.

If the extras were started at the same time, I'm inclined to allow them, let me know.

* UPDATED TO THIS POINT *

[Galron]

"I, Whatever my Title is Galron, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint: 9x terminators, 5x Cenobium Knights, 9 Infernus, 10 Sternguard, 5 Desolators and 1 Terminator Chaplain for 42 pts for the Glory of the Dork Angels Faction of the Bolter and Chainsword and the Imperium Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end."

My start pics are on the thread about this on the Astartes general forum. Ill post finished ones here. Didnt know this was a thread here until just a few minutes ago. Down to 5 Cenobium knights and they are on the detail stage. Then decals for everyone. Thats going to take a day on its own.

Yes please. They have all been started together.

Second one:

Time to get serious I guess if I am to ever finish this vow 
Lovely job everyone! Keep 'em coming!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Fabulous! 

[Forté]

Getting close to gameable, though not what I want them to be to call them "finished".

 

Still want to add weathering. Unsure what colour to chip the dark blue with. Thinking a brown then a little metal.

So, here we go with 20 pts more for Adeptus Astartes/Space Wolves. 

 

As I am waiting for some AdMech (the shipment has (after 3 weeks in standby) been confirmed yesterday) I expect placing soon a second vow...

Vow 1.... done! Completed.

 

I'm surprised too.

Another Termie down. So now I'm on 3/7+vehicle mark

"I, Brother Captain Arkley, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 1 Librarian in Terminator Armour (5 pts?) for the Glory of Ultramarines and the Imperium Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end."

 

 

[Brother Argent]

Well just to share a bit more painfully slow progress:

I am slowly getting there.  Going to seriously need to ramp up efforts on all three vows to get there on time.

[Cleon]

I don't really want to put my Captain up right after Brother Argent's gorgeous one - but Vow 2 is complete so i need to put it up....

Librarian complete.

*Exits a warp portal from 5 years ago*

Now I've finished my Blackstone Fortress hostiles I'm working on my Imperial vow. Base coats are coming on nicely but oh so many little details!

Photo fixed. Happy times.

[Brother Argent]

Currently baseless I know but I am trying to push through things:

 

 

@Cleon That line work on your Librarian mate is something else. Wish I had the brush control and patience to pull off something light that.  And you have inspired my to use black on some of my terminator fists.  Keep up the good work mate.

 

@Brother Captain Arkley That is such a sweet blue on you Librarian.  Your work continues to inspire me mate.  The consistent quality and speed you crank these guys out is impressive.

[time_of_flight]

My Vow is finally complete!
