Dark Angels Secret Santa, any takers for 2024?

[Grotsmasha]

Same as last year, I'd like to run a Secret Santa for us. We take october to gauge interest and take sign-ups, I'll draw names and we'll complete our models in November, and send them in December.

 

Basic Rules as per previous years,

1- The B&C has no part in this and will not be involved in any kind of resolution. All participants accept the risk that their partner, however unlikely, may not be able to complete their gift.

2- Shipping costs are our own to bear, and international post is most likely, so budget for it. It also means you will need to trust myself and one other Frater with your real name, a postal address, and most Customs Forms now require a contact phone number.

3- Expectation is a single infantry sized model to match one of the recipients collected factions, using their threads on the B&C for inspiration.

4- Obviously, complete and send your model to your Secret Santa recipient.

 

So, if all this sounds good to you, and you have the time and budget to participate,

1- post your interest in doing so in this thread,

2- include any factions/threads you'd be ok recieving a model for (must be board appropriate)

 

and should we get 3+ participants by Nov 1st, I'll PM and confirm with everyone and draws names out of a hat.

Was a fun little project last year, so sure, I'll have another go. 

[Lostrael]

Count me in.

[twopounder]

I'll keep the tradition alive. I have a bottomless box of DA bits.

[Raziel-TX]

I’m game. 

[Grotsmasha]

Any last takers? I'll draw names on Sunday

Maybe we need a post in News, Rumours and Announcements to be more visible and draw in a few more participants. It is certainly more fun if there are more of us taking part.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Sorry Brother, I can't do this year. 

Good luck to you all.

I can wrangle (mostly) 5-10 participants, I don't think I could manage the entire Forums worth of participants 

[LameBeard]

I could come back in if you need numbers. I’m just worried I’m dragging the quality down.  What I received was amazing last year - what I send will still be a single plastic infantry figure with an average paint job - rummaged up from a bits box (probably).

The fun is in the taking part and the little mystery of what will come in the post. Go on, take part. :D

[LameBeard]

Ok I’m in

[Grotsmasha]

Ok, locking in the Participants as;

@Grotsmasha

@LameBeard

For me, any board appropriate model, from any Faction

[LameBeard]

For me, you can do what takes your fancy. Think of that model that you had a good idea for but just didn’t fit in your force.

 

If you want to stick to Dark Angels, my only current Dark Angels are pre-heresy and pre the latest round of scale creep (and currently without bases! Apart from that the two middle chaps are “finished” and the two at the ends are WIP.

I dabble in more or lessee everything and have a bunch of different armies, conversions and assorted projects. So go nuts (I take no responsibility for insanity) and do what you will find fun/interesting. Whether it be marines, human, xenos, Epic scale ...

 

As LameBeard said, if there is an idea you always wanted to have a bash at that never quite fitted then this is the an opportunity.

 

Good luck and fun to all of you.

I don't play the game anymore, so knock yourself out. Anything you want to make, it will go in my display cabinet for all the passer's by to oogle at during social functions.

 

Also, I'll be peeking in everyone's profile as to not give away my mark ;)

<Inset meme> Wait, you guys are having social functions? 
 

I will also be doing some discrete stalking of all of you - not always via the profile …

I had a conversation with Azrael while working on my Secret Santa project. It went something like this.

 

Azrael: Hey, you working on that Secret Santa thing?

Me: Yeah, you wanna see it?

Azrael: Rup!

Me: What do you think?

Azrael: ...Needs more plasma...

Hope everyone is having fun!

[WrathOfTheLion]

I'd've loved to participate again, but life is in the way this November, both work and personal, so I'll have to join in again next year.

[LameBeard]

How are you folks getting on? I’m ashamed to say I’ve only just started …

[Raziel-TX]

Apologies up front for my recipient…you’re my genie pig to refine my NMM 

[Trokair]

Making progress. Had a few issues along the line, and some things did not quite work, but all in all should be good.
