Brother Initiate Merbot has joined the Eternal Crusade and declares this vow complete.

I used the opportunity to try out a few different things for my scheme. I switched to a blue grey for the armor highlights and I changed up the pauldron color which I'm pretty please with. Not so happy with the basing and that will likely be switched around at some point, but it's good for now. Thanks for looking.

Seriously -

The Psycho - For attempting an Imperial Knight....

The name is apt, is it not?

But thanks for running this, Grotsmasha. Very fun little event. Thinking next year I'll try something a bit more reasonable: maybe a Baneblade...

For the light of Sol, and the earth of Terra, we stand. For the oaths we made, we stand. For the blood in our veins, we stand.
For the stones laid by our ancestors, we stand. For the days that have passed and the days that shall come, we stand.
For the living and the honour of the dead, we stand.

Thanks Grotsmasha, not just for running the Bash but for providing the motivation needed to get a brush back in my hands

Thanks Grotsmasha for the fun. See yang next year hopefully.

It's better to paint at your own pace, and love what you've done, than regret it later because you rushed. Instagram: theanvil86 // Large Deathguard Chaos army for sale or trade. PM me if interested. STILL FOR SALE!!!!

Congrats to all the participants (except Dolchiate Remembrancer...mumble grumble 23 minutes... )

Congrats to my fellow AdMech painters for getting the Artificer this year (00100111 01100011 01100001 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110111 01100101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101010 01110101 01110011 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01100111 01101111 01101111 01100100 )

And especially congrats to Grotsmasha for once again hosting and running a very fun reason to get more of my models painted.

Currently not taking decal commissions. See Carlson's College of Arms and Graffiti for some of my past work. Self-print decal sheet questions? See Ye Olde Decal Project for more information. Also, see Winterdyne's Applying Waterslide Decals tutorial - it's essential! Need special models, bits, or terrain? See +++The Forges of Mars+++.

Cool!

alas, my model was not even finished in construction, so I cannot in good conscience take even the build point.

Congrats to all brave enough to attempt the challenge.

Thanks for running a great challenge Grotsmasha, has really got me motivated for my Tale of Many Gamer's Challenge (2000 + pts in 4 months). The rest of the Tactical Marine's squad are now built and undercoated, ready for me to keep the pressure on.

Thanks for the Artificer Badge Award, pretty chuffed with that.....now what to do for the next Boxing Day Bash?

Cheers,

Valaas

Well I failed miserably, due to family stuff and things taking away time from the paintbrushes. But progress was made until my time was up:

A shame I couldn't post earlier to get 1 point for building him, but ah well. Roll on 2017 with the possibilities of 8th Edition and beyond! My first house, new paint space, new start.
