Me too damned inspiring stuff

[JJD]

Thanks Elmo I have 2 DV squads still unbuilt plus the command left overs from my knights and this has given me real inspiration.

[SvenONE]

Oof this took me too long.  

 

I SvenONE of the Dark Angels have kept faith with my Primarch and completed my oath of moment.

 

Company Master in Terminator Armor with the Monster Slayer of the Caliban and Perfidious Relic of the Unforgiven

Command Squad with Deathwing Company Banner, Champion, Cyclone Missile Launcher, 4x "Lightning Claws"

But it was well worth it to have such an awesome, unique squad! Well done. More pics soon please.

[Captain Semper]

@ SvenOne: Amazing use of the Phoenix Guard Termies - they look so fitting wearing the white of the DW!

 

Last Sunday guys - let's make it count!

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Grotsmasha]

It's 6pm, I have to be @ work by 10pm and I've not slept, so pics in the morning, but........vow complete. Finally!!!

Pics first thing when I get home in the morning with a follow-up vow of 30 terminators.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Captain Semper]

The Champion of Old returns with vengeance! Well done Grotsmasha! I look forward for the pics in order to update the first page! The question is, are you comfortable with 30 termies in less than a week?  

 

Look fwd for the pics!

 

@ Radjen: don't forget the pics of your initial vow mate - if the pics are not there by Friday your completion won't count...

[elmo]

30 in a WEEK! 

 

By the Lion Grotsmasha, take care....

[Interrogator Stobz]

Eermagerd; how do peeps paint so fast? It's taken me over 40 hours to paint five of the suckers.

Finishing the last one tomorrow, then I only have the bases to paint and I'm green to go Semper Sir. I was a bit scared there for a while...

I Cod_lover [Cod] have kept faith with my Primarch and completed my oath of moment.

 

Vow Complete!

 

 

 

 

Group shot of vows.

 

I had big plans for this ETL but often as real life does, it's dramas unfold at inappropriate times! Regardless, I'm glad to have contributed a little and have enjoyed immensely seeing others figures come to life. Way to go Dark Angel Brothers 

[Cactus]

++Reinforcements standing by

++Teleport lock acquired

++Deploying in T minus 3 seconds

++Charging capacitors

++T minus 2

"Strike hard and fast brothers!"

++T minus 1

"For the Lion and for Caliban!"

 

 

Vow complete.

 

The Dark Vengeance models are very nice. I should paint the other three some time.

[Spaced Hulk]

Final vow complete (sorry about the blurry pics  ):

 

 

There are some truly inspiring models on display in this thread, so I'd like to say well done to everyone who has taken part, and best of luck to everyone still finishing off their vows

 

Also want to add a very big thank you to Captain Semper for all his hard work organising the ETL. For the first time in almost 17 years of hobby, I actually have a painted army, and the ETL is the reason!    

 

[JJD]

Cod great work keeping to the high standard set by your earlier completions. I'd love to know how you do your glow effect on the weapons and eyes.

[Captain Semper]

Fantastic momentum guys!

@ Cod: This is the epitome of your work! Clean lines, beautiful sharp contrast and amazing freehand at that! You made the Lion (and everybody else for that matter) proud! I salute you!

@ Cactus: I was beginning to be nervous... Bravo!

@ Spaced Hulk: I'm very happy and proud that the ETL provided you with such motivation! You've done 4,180pts - a full army by any standards! Congrats!


 

DARK ANGELS! FORWARD!!!

[Grotsmasha]

I, Grotsmasha, have kept faith with my Primarch and completed my first oath of moment!!!

 

 

3x Belial @ 570pts

 

6x Company Masters and  1x Interrogater-Chaplain Seraphicus @ 870pts

 

3x Contemptors @ 630pts

 

for a total of 2,070pts.

 

In addition I make my second oath of moment,

 

I, Grotsmasha, answer the call of E Tenebrae Lux and vow to complete;

 

1x 10 Man Deathwing Terminator Squad

=> 480pts - 5x additional Terminators, 2x Assault Cannon

1x 10 Man Deathwing Terminator Squad

=> 480pts - 5x additional Terminators, 2x Assault Cannon

1x 10 Man Deathwing Terminator Squad

=> 480pts - 5x additional Terminators, 2x Assault Cannon 

 

 

for a total of 1,440pts from Codex: Dark Angels by August 1st. Success will bring glory to the 1st Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame til years end.

 

 

Now I realise this leaves me 630pts short of my Blood Oath, I'm not sure there's any thing I can do about that, but I'll have a scounge around anyway....

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Prot]

Incredible guys, truly inspiring.

I find myself shamed to see all your success, and truly beautiful work at that.

I started my first vow when I realized I was playing a lot with my da but having no motivation to paint it. This thread got me going finally completing my first finished termie squad even though I wasn't that happy with it.

Now I find I might have gotten over my head. I paint slow and probably took too much on, vowing two squads for a third vow.

I am painting every spare moment, so I really believe I can finish. Just to clarify. Bases don't have to be complete, correct?

[Grotsmasha]

Correct, bases are not a requirement

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Captain Semper]

Great stuff Jono - and I sure hope to complete the second (ambitious vow) until Friday because if not, failing the blood vow will be the least of your concerns.

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Mr Bill]

I MrBill answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete

 

Ravenwing Command Squad, +2 bikes, Apothecary, Champion, Ravenwing Grenade Launcher with Ravenwing Company Banner (250 points)

and Sammael on Corvex (200 points)

 

 

from Codex:Dark Angels of total value 450 in accordance with my blood oath on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to the Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end

[Captain Semper]

I sure hope you know what you're doing Mr. Bill - there is no room for failure... Good luck!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Cerroneth]

I Ancient Cerroneth, Venerable Dreadnought of painting, declare the completion of my fifth vow.

 

 

And a better view of the claw.

 

 

.

 

Now that this is done, time to swap the claw arm for the chain-sword arm on my previous Knight.

 

I though about doing another vow, but two things kept me from doing so, first, that I have already done 5 vows, and second, that if I did, Captain Semper would spontaneously develop the power to smack people through the internet, and no one wants that.

[The Shadow Guard]

Brilliant effort guys the Lion truly does live in this forum! Absolutely superb momentum too.... Keep pushing! and keep making more vows, Captain Semper's heart needs a cardiovascular workout.... and his nerves...well.... they are steel of course!

[Shubniggurath]

 

At last, my vow is finished. In retrospective, it wasn't a good idea to start a Nurgle daemon army while trying to finish my vow...

[JeffJedi]

@cod_lover

Most impressive. I'm glad to see my Space Crusade figures could inspire such a tank. I have that weapon but the Dread will not give it up.

 

@Spaced Hulk
Another great character model as I expected it would be.

@Grotsmasha
How many chapters do you have anyway?

@Cerroneth
What is the story behind the color scheme? It works much better than I would have expected. I wanted to paint my own Knight but chickened out, haha. The fist looks great, btw.

 

@Shubniggurath

Vehicles are my bane, I envy your ability to see them though.

@JeffJedi

 

To be honest, I don't really enjoy painting vehicles, but the Contemptor is like a big terminator, so it's all good . Then, I'd rather paint vehicules than bikes... Took me several weeks to paint the bike squad, and only a few days to paint the Contemptor + Nephilim.
