My vow is one squad of guardian jetbikes. That's 6 bikes plus a warlock on a bike.

The two bikes I had laying around from the old battleforce are already mostly done. Everything else is still in the mail.

Vows Updated!

Longshanks, unit size?

I am about 70% done on five of the striders. The sixth needs to be reprimered. I just primed my castigator about ten minutes ago.

@ WG - great to see these progress. Looking really nice without the blue weathering. A real joy to see progress.

Brasidas · « **Reply #26 on:** April 3, 2007, 08:40:33 AM »

After my abject failure last month, I'll try again!

10 Wraithguard with warlock, 4 shining spears, 3 ICs.

Let's not be so complacent this month

I'm vowing to do my whirlwind/rhino this month, and possibly some of my new Trollblood Champions.

Preacher No'ki · « **Reply #28 on:** April 3, 2007, 01:11:04 PM »

I vow to finish the Raider I failed to do last month and my (nearly) All Plastic Ravager.

Markay · « **Reply #29 on:** April 3, 2007, 01:48:05 PM »

I vow 1 armoured fist squad with chimaira. 2 10 man squads of stormtroopers and a standard bearer.

Seems like a lot but I'd love to get it done.

web ghost · « **Reply #30 on:** April 3, 2007, 07:30:19 PM »

well, here's another one and the last one is getting there too. I'm flying through these dudes. at this rate I might have to add something else to my vow by the tenth:

Not a great picture - rather closer to terrible lol, I'll take some better set one's once the month's works done, but have now finished the first 5 Praetorians (bar varnishing and static flock). The next 10 have been base coated (okay yeah hands up, this basecoating was done ages ago) and the Thunderbolts are undercoated. With Easter weekend just around the corner I'm hoping I might be able to get get all the Praetorians finished with by this time next week, if I can will plough on as there are another 15 to finish the Platoon I'm working on.

hammered out the drones. Top tip! Don't glue the weapons/body part to the 'head' before painting. I realized that it would be alot easier to paint the weapons, the under carriage, the eyes, etc. i they weren't attached. I tried to take them apart but the plastic bit that hold s them together is weaker than the glue so they just broke off. the one drone (the marker light dorne) that was not gluedtogether was a cinch. you can just put the head ona flying stand for easy access and holding for painting. the same with the body.

I still need to give them S'ept markings and paint the metal bolty things. These guys weren't as easy as i though they would be. there is more surface area than you would think.

Myung · « **Reply #37 on:** April 7, 2007, 06:28:34 PM »

sorry I do not have any in progree pictures as I was painting away at my store trying to get my force down for the new escalation league. I beat the 3 color min and all my minis on my list are 80% done.

web ghost · « **Reply #38 on:** April 7, 2007, 06:54:49 PM »

Sniper drone team is mostly done and I finished the last stealth suit. All I have now to do is the six vespid. I will probably add more to my vow.
