Black Templars Painting Challenge #3!

[Von Richthofen]

Marshals of the Black Templars, the time has come again to answer Helbrecht's call! Welcome to:

 

The 3rd (Feb-March 08) Black Templars Painting Challenge

 

Please see the first oath for the entries of previous Black Templars painting challenges.

 

Crusade Expansion Gallery

 

The Rules:

 

- From now until Friday February 15th you may take the 'oath of completion'. You may commit to painting any legal item for your Black Templars army. It could be an independent character, a squad, or even a vehicle.

 

- After Feb 15th, new oaths will not be accepted. Afterwards you will have a few weeks to complete your paint job and take a picture of your new addition to your crusade and add it to this topic.

 

- You will have until March 21st, 2008 to complete your paint job. In total that gives you over four weeks (over five if you start early) to complete your oath and post your picture.

 

- To a large degree this will work on an honour system. Please commit to an unpainted model for your army. It can be assembled, even primed, but not painted. Although you don't have to take a before picture, you must post a completed picture to truly fulfill the oath. The picture is mostly for verification so it does not have to be a super high quality picture.

 

What do you get for completing the oath?

 

You would think that expanding your crusade would be enough, but there's more... You will be noted in this thread before it is locked as having finished your model (once you post your picture). You will also have the honour (if you so desire) to have your picture added to a Templar Painting Challenge sticky at the top of the forum (which will be added later). There is also a small 'reward banner' I have created that you will be able to add to your signature file. This banner will righteously note that you have accepted, and completed the challenge of expanding your crusade. The banner will be hot linked to the Gallery where your work will be displayed for all to admire or fear.

 

The Oath of Completion

 

High Marshal Helbrecht has issued the order to expand your Crusade. Will you answer the challenge? By taking this oath, you are committing to the following:

 

I(you) will fully paint (and base) any one legal squad, character, independent character, or vehicle(s) for my Crusade. I will have this model completed by no later than March 21st, 2008. I will also provide a picture showing my glorious addition to my Crusade.s
