This is amazing, can I ask how you did the base? That's eavy metal standard! 

[Dwango]

All the infantry are about there basing and transfers to go.  The corsair vehicles are undergoing a yellow fade and the craft world tanks etc are nearly ready for a base coat. 

[ZeroWolf]

First few figures of my vow complete, only 31 left to go:

[Brother Argent]

So I am not dead.  Progress hasn't been that slow.  Just been failing to update. But, as a sign on life;

 

 

It a horrid photo as it washed a lot of the colour out but for what was two days work, I can't complain about that.

[Grotsmasha]

* UPDATED TO THIS POINT *

Thank you for the points correction on the characters. I was under the impression that you got 5 points only for characters with more than one model in the unit, that's why I counted them as one point each.

[Dwango]

More progress.

[N1SB]

I,      N1SB                     , vow to complete the following Necron Incursion:

• 1 Technomancer: 5 pts
• 10 Necron Warriors: 10 x 1 pts = 10 pts
• 1 Nightbringer C'tan Shard: 5 pts
• 1 Deceiver C'tan Shard: 5 pts
• 1 Transcendant C'tan Shard: 5 pts*

Vow Total: 30 pts

 

* Note: am assuming the Transcendant C'tan Shard is the equivalent of an Epic Hero even if he's not one

 

I so swear upon the heads of my Necrons; should I fail, may they go bald.

 

 

The only limitation is if my already ordered & paid for minis get delayed in shipping due to that thing with warehouses!

[Chaplain Raeven]

Slowly making progress...

[01RTB01]

Well... it appears I pledged in the wrong place.

I would like to pledge:

Beastboss on squigofex [10 points] - Complete

Nob on smasha sentinel (squig) [5 points ?] - Complete

Snikrot [5 points]

1 Deffdread [4 points] - Complete

3 deffkoptas [3x2 = 6 points]

Correction of wording and vow.

[andes]

I, andes, heed the Call to Arms and make my second pledge: I will paint an Ork Stompa for 20 points for the Glory of the Orks and the Xenos Stronghold on or before the 30th of September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end. Also, Orks is best.

Some really awesome looking Xeno scum here guys.  I love the general enthusiasm these events create.  I have made a little progress.  Unfortunately I was running out of interest on these guys towards the end but, despite the bad photos, I got them sorted.

My three ripper swarms, including the test ripper.

The Von Ryanns Leapers.  Cant decide if I enjoyed painting these guys or not, but did just notice a big chunk of sprue on the lead leapers lower arm...

and Finally the Winged Tyranid Prime.  Awesome fun to paint, particularly happy with the wings.  Pity it sucked in the game I played with it...

 

Going to tackle some of my Imperial vow next, but the bugs aren't forgotten.  Will hit up the Barbgaunts shortly, one of the MVPs of my game.

 Greetings

 

My friend purchased this Drukhari army because he wanted to go to tournaments with it. I would like to reiterate the vow, a xeno faction, a combat patrol force. The one I have left would be from the LoV. Would that be agreeable? If there is a difference in points I would be willing to integrate more Votann. 

 

Let me know.

Painboy in progress:

@Xenith: The base is the GW recipe and is Mournfang brown base and then a heavy Zamesi Desert drybrush and Ushabti Bone drybrush. Then the rim is steel legion drab.

Vow 2 completed - +61 pts for the Xenos´ faction.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

- 10 Storm Guardians - 10 pts

- 10 Dire Avengers - 10 pts 

- 1 Skyrunner Farseer - 5 pts

- 2 Vypers - 6 pts 

- 1 Falcon - 6 pts 

- 2 Warlocks - 10 pts 

- 1 Autarch - 5 pts 

- 3 Shining spears - 6pts 

- 1 converted Venom - 3pts to be placed into the list of contestants for the Master of the Forge sub challenge 

 

Table top quality, with some issues with guardians and DA which are not very clean. Anyway, global effect is OK.

 

As I ran out of Xenos, I guess this is over for me for this category of the Challange. I have plenty of old Rhino chassis´s tanks that need love as well as some kitbashed tanks. I am also waiting for some AdMechs for my New Year/New Army project. But I will have to give a though or two as, even if there is 1 month and a half left, it is a lot to do... I doubt I will be able spending as much painting tima as I spent these past 5 weeks...

Considering that I have sold my Drukhari army I kindly request to pledge a new oath @Grotsmasha

 

"I, Chainsword Cookie, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint - Combat Patrol - Leagues of Votann - for 16 points for the Glory of the Leagues of Votann and the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end."
