HQ: Belial - 190 pts
 
Elite: 10 Company Veterans - 230 pts
Lightning Claws (pair), Flamer, Plasma gun
 
Troops: Deathwing Terminator Squad - 245 pts
Chainfist, Assault Cannon
 
Troops: 5 Scouts - 60 pts

Troops: 5 Scouts - 60 pts
Shotguns
 
Troops: 5 Scouts - 68 pts
Bolters & Heavy Bolter

I figured I may as well paint everything that I own into one large collection, since I now want to collect and paint an entirely different (yellow) chapter after painting the Dreadnought and Deathwing....

I just thought I would take a moment to share this with you guys, but if any of you have an Xbox 360, they've got this free arcade game you can DL called "happy wars" it's pretty cool.

 

They've actualy got a number of helmets that are very dark angelish. I'm sure some of you would find it to be inspirational

So freshly that the Decal Fix is still wet :lol:

Now onto the next...

I Razblood answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX II and vow to complete 1x Deathwing Squad with Heavy Flamer from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 230pts on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to The Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

And here is the preliminary pic -

They are actually converted Terminators from 2nd Ed. Space Hulk (the twisty-waisted ons :lol: ) with a lot of GS.

@ Brother Vaas: Wow - a mega vow after a mega vow! Ambitious, sir - very ambitious! Good luck! :D

@ deadboyat2: I missed your previous completion! So a late congratulations for you and good luck with your follow up! When you're done, please report your completion through a new post (not just by editing your vow post) so I can get a heads up and updated the list accordingly. msn-wink.gif

@ Razblood: Well done on your second completion! And now you're in the club of the 3 times vowers! Good luck! thumbsup.gif

Well if the 1st Legion should fail in teh quest it won't be from lack of Successor Support (even if it is only an alleged successor chapter)

Stunning!  I must ask, how do you get the fine shading on the wings of the bikes?  Is this a blue wash with a white drybrush over the top?

 Here is a close up for you

 

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Yongshigi/IMAG0479.jpg

 

If you check my WIP thread, you will see the wings as pure white at first, I achieved this by first doing 3-4 layers of glacial blue until it was solid, then 3-4 layers of deadwhite until it was all white. After that I applied a satin varnish and applied a cerulean blue oil wash. Wiped clean with clean mineral spirits on a qtip and voila, done! 

 

/edit and now that I am looking at this picture, I see I will have to clean up the blue from around the gold some more. Guess I wasn't as thorough as I thought I was.

Right now we got one Templar who has completed his 3rd vow but has not vowed for a 4th time yet. Also in the DA context we have six partiicpants already working on their 3rd vow but no completions so far.

After some furious painting I would like to report completion on my third vow of 1x Deathwing Terminator Squad w/ Heavy Flamer at a value of 230pts.

Here's the pics to prove it.

They aren't perfect but I'm happy to call them done.

Which leads me to what's next......

I Razblood answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX II and vow to complete 1x Librarian with Displacer Field from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 120pts on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to The Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

Here's the prelim pic

Think I'll take a break for a few days before starting him as I'm feeling a bit burnt out after the DW squad, but I will return with a completion soon and possibly even a 5th vow msn-wink.gif

Well done Razblood you are an inspiration to the rest of us! By all means take a breather and return when the batteries are re-charged. But keep in mind, if you fail one vow ALL previous ones will count for nothing and will be nullified! So make sure you do not burn yourself out because sometimes, even a single mini looks like a mammoth task... ;)

Lord high supreme commander master of recruits and sacred high consecrator captain Sempter I am glad to report that as of this morning I have just 5 terminators left and they just need line highlighting and vow 3 will be complete by the end of this weekend. If I fail in this humble task I request permission to be banished to cell 42 for cleansing!

Great stuff fellow Consecrator! ;) Your status is updated and the DAs a step closer to their rightful place: Primus Inter Pares! :) A couple of things though: In the listing above you have the Int. Chaplain at 124pts and it should be 125 (otherwise it adds up to 1,149 :o) and in your original vow you claimed 1,140pts - not 1,150. So if you can edit both it'll be great.

 

Will you continuing? Only if you are confident though, remember that if you fail one vow you fail all!

Wow! Ven Dread Cerroneth you really out for blood aren't you? Well good luck mate - you got a lot on your hands now!

 

It's great to see people completing second and third vows - this is what will give us the edge. However, voctory will only be guaranteed if we achieve a high completion rate on first vows. So let's see some first vows completions guys - the competition is waking up and things might turn around even within a single week!
