Kor'Vesh Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 ---- February ---- Welcome back to February's Casual 30K hobby challenge. We all know how this works by now, pledge some models to paint this month, build your armies, and enjoy the opportunity to stick it to the traitors/emperor. Last month over 147 models were painted in the challenge - a huge achievement by everyone. I don't usually like February, but that kind of effoert is getting me excited about the month to come! To join in, you make a hobby pledge for the month, and this contibutes to either the Loyalist or Traitor cause. There are two competitions: 1. Pledges - Loyalists and Traitors compete on completed pledges over the month. The more completed pledges the more points you win. You can make a second pledge only once the first is complete, and in doing so you risk your first pledge. That's right - pledges are all or nothing - complete your vows or live in shame. 2. Scores - Every model you pledge to paint is worth points. Once you finish the model and show us you earn points for your faction. These are always safe, so there is always an incentive to keep painting! The scroes are as follows - Scores Infantry - 1 point; Large Infantry (termies, bikes, rapiers without crew etc.) - 2 points; Monstrous infantry - 3 points; Vehicles - 6 points; Lord of War (including Primarchs)- 10 points. Titans - 15 for Warhounds, 20 for Reavers At the end of the month I'll tally up the points and pledges to see who wins. I'll try to post regular updates, so we know the teams, and how things are shaping up. The last couple of months were really successful, so I'd encourage you all to check out some of the completions in our old threads. I'll add a post-mortem to January's thread in a day or two, and we'll see if the Loyalists extend their lead, or the traitors are catching up. Finally - we've been a little low of Traitor numbers lately. There are some great performers in the traitor team (credit to Brother Vidius and Gizur in particular) but evening out team numbers would be good this month. So if you are painting a traitor legion, why not throw your hat into the ring? So brothers and sisters, for the Emperor or for Horus, let see some pledges!

Kor'Vesh Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I Kor'Vesh, being of sound mind and body, pledge to paint one legion apothecary, two rapier crew members and a Sicaran battle tankin the month of February, for the glory of the XVIIIth Legion Astartes, Salamanders. I'm actually already doubting myself about finishing this lot, as I'm super busy this month! Still I will give it my all, and hopefully finish my Sicaran before Reyner!

OwlandMoonGuy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I OwlandMoonGuy, being somewhere between "certifiable" and the potential need of institutionalization (and can we please just leave my body out of this? Thanks.), pledge to paint 10 Medusan Immortals w/Volkite Chargers in the month of February, reserving the right forthwith to expand upon said vow, real life permitting, for the glory of the (Iron) Xth Legion Astartes, Iron Hands. As stated in the January thread I have a lot of directions I could go with multiple drivers pushing that direction. We'll see how it goes but I'm overdue to paint up Ferrus Manus and if I do, he needs a ride which pushes painting the Spartan and he needs a retinue which pushes painting up 10 Gogons, etc. etc. etc. Did I mention that I'm considering a Questoris Knight army? Anyway, I digress. Cheers again to K'V for running this - here! here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I suppose I of all people should pledge now that I have ordered the models haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What to pledge this month... the Contemptor from november or a homemade character... Or I could be really ambitious and pledge all the unpainted things on my desk. Or I could just do the Grave Wardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raktra Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I, Raktra, am extremely handsome. And I have nice hair. All right, let's paint some muddafuggin tanks. I've got me a Whirlwind Scorpius and a Rhino that need some love, as well as Castrmen Orth's in-tank model. So there's my starting point, let's see what I do.

Skalpynock Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I, Skalpynock, of weak will to stay on the same project for more than three weeks, pledge a single Astartes for the most loyal II Legion - Dawn Bearers, and another for the traitorous XI - Storm Legion. Starting with humility, might add a Rhino if I chose which of my three legions to paint it as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander Bob Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I, Salamander Bob, the slow, pledge to test the paint sheme, one Tactical Marine and one Rhino.

Therefore I will paint another five Iron Hands legionary to support the cause of my loyalist brothers. Playing again with limited support, but I have to hold on, as reinforcements are delayed until April-May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedmeister Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I, zedmeister the foolish, who has so far failed two of these challenges and is on a course for damnation, vow to at least finish his original challenge! That's these 5 White Scars and 15 Alpha Legion. http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/hh/AL-WS-Pledge-310115.jpg If, by some miracle, I do it, I may yet be able to start on another, much smaller batch...

I had a really good idea for the Word Bearer that I won't be able to pull off, unfortunately :( I was thinking of making a half and half marine, one half in the grey, and one half in the red with demonic possession, showing a character before and after they fell to chaos. But I can't sculpt for toffee so doing the possession will be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just chop a set of legs in half and Frankenstein them together and just glue on the Arm/Shoulder Ez-Pz. The chest, helm, and backpack will take a bit more work, I admit. Would make for a very cool concept though! I'll probably end up using my Chaplain Dreadnought from FW and painting him red or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
