Winter Painting Challenge [Month 2/3]
« on: December 31, 2007, 11:51:40 PM »
Welcome to the January Painting Challenge. We are now into the 2nd year of these, first under Loydb, Khemri Demon, Serious Callers Only and now me. The goal of this challenge is to get some of that unpainted lead that most of us have laying around table-ready. At the start of each month, participants pledge to have a squad painted by the closing date.

I will update this post with a list of people who wish to vow.

RULES


1. Vows will be frozen 10 days after the start of the challenge. There is no changing of *any* vow after day 10. Say what you'll paint, then paint what you say. If you don't already own the models you want to paint, I suggest not making the vow until you do.  Vows are still accepted after the 10th, but they can not be changed afterward.

2. This is more of a request than a rule. *Please* post work in progress pics if you possibly can. One of the best things about the thread is watching stuff come together.  It's perfectly fine if you don't post any photos, however.

3. I need to know unit sizes when you post your vows.



FAQ
Q: Do I have to do Games Workshop figs?
A: No. Several people make Warmachine vows, myself included.  Feel free to do vows based on any game system.

Q: I need to change my vow!
A: You have until Day 10 of the month.

Q: What if I don't have a camera?
A: We operate on the honor system. If you say you did it, we believe you. There are no prizes, so you only get the satisfaction of lying on the internet if you choose to do so.


Q: Will you do one of these every month?

A: That's the goal. Assuming the board manages to stay up

Q: Hey, what if we finish our vow but decide to paint more?
A: Paint away! If you mean, can you get a head start on next month, I guess so. But it's kind of cheesy to make a vow with a 75% painted unit at the start of the month...

I vow to paint my ten man Ultramarine tactical squad.  I'm really forcing myself to do this one by not gluing the bolters on until the unit is painted.  I'll try to get pictures, but my camera doesn't focus very well close up.

I never like to vow much because I never know how much time I will have. I'll probably overshoot my vow again but it makes me feel productive. 8)

This month I vow to paint my Crone World Pathfinders (almost done) and my Autarch which needs a lot of work. I'll start to strip my second guardian squad too and work on em.

Given my utter failure to finish last month..

Vows:
5 Death Company with Jump Packs

I want to vow a couple of assault marines, but i'm still working on the conversions and I'm worried about counter-weighting them sufficiently at the moment.  (Metal hammers at the ends of plastic arms with plastic legs up on one foot running... oh yes, this will be fun).  I also desperately need to get some more greenstuff...  So I'll see how the converting goes before vowing anything more.

Edit:
Damn me and wanting to convert any model that sits around for a little bit.

So, modifying my vows to:
1 Death Company Marine w/ jump pack (minor conversion - hand swap)
1 Honor Guard Marine w/ jump pack, bp, ccw
2 Honor Guard Marines w/ jump pack, bp, pf
1 Veteran Assault Marine w/ Flamer, jump pack
1 Veteran Assault Marine w/ thammer, bp, jump pack (conversion - thunderhammer = unidentified pewter mallet)

And i need some greenstuff to finish a VAS w/ thammer conversion and 4 DC conversions.  I really need to stop wanting to put arms at inconvenient angles.  At least 6 DC is enough to play my 1500 point list.  Now i just need those thammer VAS marines done...

And i better hurry up and do it quickly, before i decide to convert those HG marines...  Note, vow does not include basing (i want to do entire squads at the same time when possible, for a unified look within squads).

Alright, last time I signed up for this, last year I think, I admit I failed (it got done the next month though!). So this time I'm going to redeem myself I hope.

So I vow to get off my arse and paint my Scorpion MkII, and my new shining spears, and my Autarch.

edit
So with my fancy new gift I bought myself, I can now supply pictures of progress :)
(sorry for quality, I havn't had much practice using the camera yet so the photos should get better with time)

Everything I vowed to paint this month


The Scorpion


My Autarch (Serathin-ce). Just started the converting so he's not fully assembled yet, but he should be later tonight.


The Shining Spears

10 Fantasy Orc Boyz, painted (but not based, cause I hate basing and the look of most based models).

That's my vow.

Well, as of now I have nothing to Vow because I just finished

Five assault marines, fully able to change out parts
Five Termies
Chaplin self made with bits. Might snap his J pack off to turn him into a foot slogger with claws
Captain self made with bits. swap out j pack for reg pack.
Captain in T armour.
Apothecary,
Pred, swap out all parts,  ie magnets . Going to bit order whirlwind turret I think.

I guess I could Vow to get them all marked up with my new chapter symbol.  I have finally settle on a chapter symbol so that could be the vow. Though that is about 100 marines and 15 vehicles uggg.
The Daemonic leads to two crimes. You turn away from the path of righteousness and I just crapped a big one in the bowl again, anybody know the location for the scrubber. Hey brother bethel, wait come back i need the scrubber dammit. oh ya... you abandon the Emperor as the object of your Devotion. For the first, death is merely a just retribution. The second is Heresy so terrible that no punishment can be Sufficient. Dam, maybe I did find a sufficient punishment. swirly, ya...
