Welcome to The Bolter and Chainsword's 11th Annual Boxing Day Bash, the premise is simple; Build, Paint, and Base 1 (or more) model/s in 24hrs.

The Rules are as follows;

• Build, paint, and base one (or more) models.
• 24hr limit, determined by the time of Participants "Vow" post. Everybody gets 24hrs starting at any time on THEIR local Boxing Day (Dec 26th OR Dec 27th).
• "Completion" standard set by Participant.
• Each Vow made for the Participants sub/forum of choice.
• Each completion earns one point for building the model/s, two points for building AND painting the model/s, and a total of three points for building AND painting, AND basing their model/s within the 24hr time period.
• A fourth point will be awarded for multiple models completed within the 24hrs time period.
• Two pictures are required, one picture of the bitz or sprue, and one of the completed model/s.
• Primed bitz/sprue will be accepted.
• Individual points can be earned for completing any one individual stage of the three criteria.
• Sub-assemblies will be accepted for larger models.

Please post your vows here, in this thread with the following format,

Found some time to build. Currently waiting for the basing to dry and can then see about undercoating in the morning.

Done!

 

 

[Madao]

Done!

[Brother Argent]

 

And done.  With much procrastination in between...  Decided to go second company of the Interdictors and, I must say, I think the gold looks good with the orange and black.  

 

Best face I've done in a long time.  Well I mean only face I've done in a long time but even so...

 

Feels good to be back...

[Trokair]

This is where I was a few hours ago, and I have not had time since then to do any more and by now my 24 hours are up anyway. Not quite finished with the blocking in base colours, and still need to do all the layers, washes and highlights after that.

 

 

 

Anyway, congrats to all who managed theirs.

[Lostrael]

This mini had definitiv to many gemstones... counts as done.

[sitnam]

I finished up last night but couldn't be bothered to break out the lightbox until this morning

 

 

I don't know why I have a demon parasite thing a stub revolver, but it pleases me
