Those bases are looking sweet ISM. Love the idea of that Imperial Fist, and I may have to steal your idea regarding the trophy racks. As was previously mentioned, are you doing anymore to the blood splat? The Blood for the Blood God red is fantastic but as previously said just watering down a darker red will work, just like a wash/shade. Good work though buddy.

Three Chaos Terminators Challenge completed. 

 

http://shrani.si/f/1I/4C/1hpIm5G6/1/2015-04-06-131808.jpg

 

I have based them with Agrellan Earth and done some highlights. The bases need rocks and some grass but while I have ordered the Citadel Basing Kit, the order has not arrived yet, I reckon I will have to wait several weeks as it is usual. 

 

On a side note Augustus requested a Night Lords helmet trophy and you can see it on the rightmost terminator. The kit comes with a helmet on the trophy rack and I have painted it night blue and adorned it with a skull motif (hopefully it evokes the image). 

 

 

I am willing to do one more challenge though I ask now for a single chaos infantry model. The choice of the challenger ofc. 

 

 

PS: Seeing them in the photo I think that the next models I paint in the Word Bearers scheme should have a more rich red, this one is too spent and not that appropriate. I have followed the HtP: Blood Angels guide but I think that the Flesh Tearers scheme is way too darker for a proper "Traitor's Red" hence the next project will have an additional layer of Khorne Red and I will skip the all too "neon" GW highlights.

 

This is the reason why I like this challenges and community projects, they keep the creative juices running and you can test a scheme and now eagerly hope for some feedback from more seasoned painters than myself. 

 

 

Long story short the first Challenge is complete, I accept another challenge if someone is willing to step forth.

Much better!

Well done, Arkangilos.

Good work. 

 

I intend to continue watching your chapter grow. :)

++ April 5th has passed into April 6th in all parts of Terra ++ 

++ I herewith proclaim the second deadline for completions of the Arena closed ++

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

We have seen many completions, by hobbyists both fresh and veteran. All who completed have done a marvelous job, and I have seen some amazing miniatures. Firepower's Black Templar flamer toting marines have truly made him earn the name he totes, while KrautScientist's Lord of Khorne makes ready to slaughter, and many others. Congratulations on your completions!

200plus, Acebaur, Aias, Atia, Arkangilos, Bushman101, dantay_xv, Firepower, KrautScientist, Mehman, Midnight Runner, and Tekman 

 

There where even a couple of early completions. Brother-Captain Arkhan's wonderful Raven Guard Captain made a swooping last minute entry, as did quite a few others: those who finished their challenge a deadline earlier than planned. Congrats to you too! 

Beachymike123, Brother-Captain Arkhan, Tenebris, and Insane Psychopath

 

All of the above-mentioned Frater have earned the right to wear the VICTOR badge. As always, there are four variants, a chaos and Imperial version in both 30K and 40K style. Bear them with pride, my brothers and sisters! :thumbsup::smile.: :biggrin.:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
However, there is not only good news. Quite a few of the participants did not make this deadline. And that is a damn shame, as we were looking forward to them. Quite a few were even nearly complete and looking quite promising. ShVagYer's nearly finished awesome-looking Thousand Sons come to mind, as well as Black_out's terminators, who already stood In Midnight Clad, but still needed trim and details. A damn shame! :pinch: :mellow.: :sad.:

Badaab, Black_out, Castiel, GrandMagnus, Grizzly_bear, Kongue, Nusquam, Praefectus Invictus, ShVagYer, TheHalifax, Uprising, and Zigmunth

 

The above-meantioned Frater have failed in their duties and must bear the badge of shame, the MEA CULPA. Especially for Black_out and Uprising, this is disappointing, as they did meet the previous deadline. As always, there are four variants, a chaos and Imperial version in both 30K and 40K style.

Bear them as a reminder of your failure and with the determination to redeem yourself, my brothers and sisters!

For those who have failed, know that redemption in the eyes of both the Emperor and the Gods of Chaos is still possible. Finish your vows quickly, then accept and complete another challenge before the next deadline of April 19th, and you shall be redeemed and may still bear the VICTOR badge.

 

This is more difficult, however. Where the previous, March 15th, deadline gave us four weeks to complete our vows, the recent April 5th deadline was tighter and only had three weeks. The April 19th deadline will be even tighter and only has two. So beware! :thumbsup::wink:

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Now, all who have finished have earned the right to accept AND issue an extra challenge.

So even if you still have a challenge outstanding, you can challenge a second, and you can now accept another. 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT

Thanks Augustus. Typical Raven Guard turning up unexpected...

 

I'd be open to being challenged again by somebody, though my challenge to Kage still stands; and as Augustus says above, I can now issue a second challenge, thanks. :) I'm a couple of Mor Deythan away from finishing a Killzone warband of Raven Guard. PM if interested :smile.:

Woops, you're right Fangbanger! I guess I assumed your 10 Grey Knights were your entire vow when I recorded them as finished. (You're the only one who has vowed so many units in this quality-as-a-goal event. Still amazed by that, btw, as you're taking away the points from the -mostly quantity-as-a-goal- ETL:wink:) I editted the above post, as well as the record-keeping post. Thanks! :tu:

It's only because I have a tourney deadline that needs to be met by the last weekend in April, otherwise everything would have been saved for ETL! Still, gives me an excuse to buy more minis when this is all done!

With only two weeks to go, I'd better get a move on with my second challenge, the Hell Blade. 

 

I did the blue, the lightning and the gold basecoat tonight. Still waiting for some ruins for the base to arrive in the mail.

Challenge completed, thanks again to Augustus for running this and to the Remembrancer for challenging me. As vowed, the biker squad from DV.

Thanks! You are totally free to use that idea. I have to admit that I myself was inspired by another wargamer who did that with the base of a daemon prince. It's a part for rhino turrets. I cut away some bits to sink it into the ground.

 

And thanks both Firepower and yourself for your suggestions! I don't have another red, but I darkened the pool with more nuln oil, and it really looks much better. On my progress: The other day I drilled loads of holes and put magnets in them for the arms and weapons. Today I will start painting the actual dreads. More pics coming soon.

Darnit! That *was* a sneaky post. ;) Editted accordingly in the above update and in the record-keeping post. Congrats on the timely finish with beautiful miniatures, MR! The badge of the VICTOR is yours!

Tick tock, dungeon master. :devil:

Hahaha, I got under your skin didn't I. Good. :devil:

I am particularly proud of the one in the bottom right in the first picture, as the greystuff cloak came out really well.

Once more into the breach dear friends..........

 

There should be time for one more small project if someone is willing and able to offer up the challenge in a timely manner.

 

So again I step into Augustus' Arena with my brush, my faith, and my rabid determination looking for a partner.

 

No Wolves this time however, I'm thinking Yellow and Black and flying..........
