=] Call to Arms: Imperium Stronghold [=

[Brother Argent]

Terminators sans bases done.  Fast thinking I am going to be defeated by how much I have vowed across the boards.  I haven't even touched my Chaos guys yet, and have half my Xenos to do not to mention how much of my Imperium stuff I need to do.

[Cleon]

And now time for the Imperial element of my September 12 months target, with my third and final pledge.

 

"I, Cleon, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint  Lord Commander Dante, Inquisitor Cartavolnus, an Apothecary Biologus, a company Champion, five Heavy Intercessors and a Ballistus Dreadnought. 

 

I belevie even though I'm under the Blood Angels forum, I can still include the Inquistor as he's imperial, if not then ignore him....

• Lord Commander Dante, 5 points as an Epic hero
• Inquisitor Cartavolnus, 5 points as a single model leader
• Apothecary Biologus, 5 points as a single model leader
• Company Champion, 5 points as a single model leader
• Five Heavy Intercessors, 5 points as 1 ppm infantry
• Ballistus Dreadnought, 3 points as a walker 

for 28 points. bringing me to 88 points total upon completion.

One question, as I have not been able to solve it yet while checking in the forums: how much points for Beasts (Fenrisian wolves?) 1 or 2 pts each?

 

Thanks

Well after another crack at the two hour painting challenge:

 

 

I am moving forward.  Long way to go yet but, finished two of... a lot... in two days so yay.

[Cactus]

I'll do the bases together when I've finished all four models but I'm so chuffed with these two that I couldn't wait to share them. This was my first attempt at painting a digital camouflage pattern and it wasn't as hard as I feared. The third grey layer made my eyes go wonky though because I couldn't make out the shape of the gun at all! I guess that means it worked.

Lt done.  Not sure at this stage I am going to finish everything.  And certainly not everything for all three factions.  Going to try to do the Sternguard next but I am fast running out of steam.  Particularly for orange marines...

[Bouargh]

I have just completed my second Vow in the imperium Stronghold:

 

- 10 Kit bashed Scions

- 3 Rhinos Chassis tanks 

- 1 LR Executioneer 

- Some Scrap piles from Bitz box

 

For a total of 38 pts for Adeptus Astartes/SW.

 

Some pics of the results can be seen in my Blog entries and in the associated coments:

Nice! This is what the Primaris tanks should have looked like, instead of doing the whole grav-tank thing. Great work!

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. The driving force behind this project was my belief that tracked vehicles always were a staple of Imperial armour. While I quite like the Repulsor Executioner model (after removing a bit of the weapons and storage solutions on it), I've always felt that it should be more grounded ;) I used to consider coverting a Repulsor by adding tracks to it, but to be honest - I think that adding a turret to a Land Raider (and switching the place for the engine) is easier.

 

I declare my vow complete!

 

Wow, three days - who would've thought that I can accomplish such a thing? Thank you for the deadline till the end of the September. That really helped me with this project since I won't be able to pick my brushes till the end of the month and I had to rush this one.

Also adding a mystic and alcolyte to my my vow for Imperium of Mankind 

 

 

 

I wish I could say I have completed this vow, but unfortunately I have had no hobby time lately and when I do plan to have hobby time it is interrupted by work, personal life, and or other things that are priority over the hobby.  I am sorry to let the Imperium down....but adulting  sucks.
