Aright @Grotsmasha, here we go:

 

I, Xenith, overlord of Hive Fleet Jabberwocky, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint the following for 55pts for the Glory of It Who Hungers and the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end.

 

1x Neurotyrant (5pts)

2x neurospore things (2pts)

11x Neurogaunts (11pts)

5x Barbgaunts (5pts)

3x VRL's (3pts)

1x Screamer Killer (5pts?)

1x Winged Tyranid Prime (5pts)

1x Psychophage (5pts)

5x Wraithguard (5pts)

1x Spiritseer (5pts)

1x Webway gate (4pts* 6pts?)

Total = 55pts* 57pts

*corrected by Grot

 

 

The second Doom, on my kitchen table.

 

As we have a little more time, I'd like to do a second vow, consisting of just my Maleceptor (5pts?), unless @Grotsmasha will let me vow the Haruspex head  it's bigger than a terminator!

Tyranids - Pledged: 528pts / Complete:   26pts / Secured: 000pts

Participants: 9

 

Come on folks, does that mean until today we've only completed 26pts worth of models in 2 months between 9 of us?

Now, to be fair, that was just before I fully based my stuff 

[Brother Argent]

I am trying.  Got myself a little (a lot) behind on my overall commitments so am trying to divide and conquer.  Trying to smash out my Imperium pledge first, then shall move to the hungry hungry space bugs.  I painted a dead one today on the Phobos Lt's base.  Does that count?

[Dwango]

I'm about 1 night away from completing my vow. Nurgles hit though so I've not painted for a few days. Hopefully shift it this weekend and get the completion over the line. 

[Spyros]

Oh boy, ask me if I find the will to paint in summertime...

Two thirds of the vow ready, I left the more difficult Tomb Blades for last. But now I have to start dancing Syrtaki faster...

[Xenith]

19 days to go folks! 

[TrawlingCleaner]

Amazing work everyone! We've got the other factions on the ropes!

 

I've completed all the Wraiths, Corsairs, Characters galour and now most of the Ynnari too!

Spoiler

 

 

Only Big Snek left to do!

 

[Azaiel]

A messed-up back and heat wave has hampered the progress a bit but I´m getting there.

 

Putting the last paint on the Shokk attack gun this week then on to grots.

@Azaiel The cigarette is perfection.

[Grotsmasha]

There's a very real possibility I might actually fail my vow.... I haven't started on either the Winged Tyrant or Harpy

Two and a half weeks to go... you've got this, @Grotsmasha 

[Dwango]

Vow complete. I'll do some close ups later. 

[Dwango]

I, Dwango heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 9 barrels, 6 containers, 8 ruined wall sections, 4 ruined buildings  for 43 pts for the Glory of Aeldari and the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end.
 

[Ace Debonair]

Vow Complete!

That's 8 points secured in the name of the Ancestors!

 

 

(Also two additional Dwarves that I'd completed prior to the vow)

[Dwango]

So some close ups as promised, then I'll stop spamming!

@Dwango is that a Paw Patrol hovercraft?! Regardless, it is fantastic!

It is. Picked it up for a couple of quid from a charity shop. Had an idea and ran with it. 

 

Cheers bud! 

[TrawlingCleaner]

My Vow is complete! It took slightly longer than I wanted it to but Big Snek and many friends are done:

Spoiler

 

 

 

Perhaps I am powered by pain (although I have learned, I'm not adding the other 15 Wracks that I need to do onto this Vow just yet):

 

I, Trawling Cleaner, Vow to complete:

1 Voidraven Bomber (6)

1 Cronos (3)

1 Haemonculus (5)

5 Wracks (5)

5 Mandrakes (5)

For a total of 24 points, before months end

 

The Mandrakes are currently having a dunk as they're pre-loved

[Xenith]

Calling these done also to complete my second vow! That's it for me now, thanks for organising a fun event guys!

 

Malcolm the Maleceptor 

 

Haruspex head

[TrawlingCleaner]

I've completed the Mandrakes for my Vow:

 

And I'm grooving on the other parts too

 

How's everyone else's Vows coming along? We've got 10 days left!

Edited September 20, 2023 by TrawlingCleaner

[Dwango]

My containers and barrels are done. Just some bits left to do on the ruins. May have time to make another vow at this rate. 

 

Love those mandrakes!

[Dwango]

2nd vow complete. Had some frosting occurred on the buildings. Annoying but liveable.

 

I'm going to do a 3rd but need to see what I can get done. Likely more terrain. 

 

Spoiler

 

[Dwango]

Sorry for spamming.

 

I, Dwango heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 23 barrels, 3 containers, 39 Munitorum Crates, 2 octarius ramshackle bridges and 3 octarius barricades  for 37pts for the Glory of Aeldari and the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end.

 

 

I've added 2 barrels and 3 crates together for 1pt and a tool box as an extra. Hope that's ok?

I was considering adding some aeldari units in but realistically I won't get them finished to a standard I'm happy with. Terrain is a quick and easy win.

 

Had to split the pic in 2 as the original was too big to upload.
