A Cup of Wine, a Horn of Mjød (Paint Challenge)


Recommended Posts

HEIL OG SÆL, Sons of the Angel! A few months ago the Vlka Fenryka has completed a challenge put forth by Brother Arkley. I come to the Blood Angels putting forth a challenge.

 

As you know Space Wolves like to drink and we hear Blood Angels do to, although maybe not of the alcohol content. During one of the Great Feasts, I had a little to much to drink. During this time period I may have acquired acquired a Relic Book of yours called "Dante - Limited Edition". I have always held the Blood Angels in high regard for the ferocious tactics and honorable presence. I propose a friendly challenge from the Vlka Fenryka to the Blood Angels. Vow 1, 5, or 10 of your best marines and submit them forth for review by your elders, in 1 months time. This relic shall be given to a single person, the Blood Angel elders shall decide who that person is. They can be of any unit you wish so long as they are loyal Sons of Sanguinius. Good Luck and may the All Father grant you steady hands.

 

Vow: I (insert name) swear upon Sanguinius blood that runs through me, X loyal sons. I shall defend his honor.

Rough translation:

Chalice of Wine, Horn of Mead

Sons of the Angel, Defenders of His Honor

 
 

 

Layman's terms: I have a spare Dante - Limited Edition. I am proposing a paint challenge. The winner decided by the BA forum mods, will receive this book. I had a great time on my first paint challenge (here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329636-for-fenris-for-grimnar-for-russ-jarls-choice/?hl=%2Bpaint+%2Bchallenge&do=findComment&comment=4616969) and wish to do a similar challenge. This is my first time running a paint event so any question please ask and I will answer. Good Luck.

 

Objective: Paint 1, 5, 10 loyal Sons of the Angel. 

 

Rules: Take the vow. Upload a picture of your units primed  or less. Finish vow in 1 months time.

 

Prizes: 3 badges. 1 of each of the vow levels (1, 5, 10). 1 person shall be voted by the mods to receive a copy of Dante Limited Edition.

 

Dates: Vow starts 7 April 0000 GMT, and ends 7 May at 2359 GMT.

 

Special thanks to  Brother Arkley for helping with the pictures!

Dang it that's cool....I really want that book since I couldn't order it here (no credit card) but then again...ETL is coming as well. A really tempting offer and hard decision to make. :D

The one model, I assume, can be a tactical marine. Paint it to the best of your ability, it's something that wont affect ETL too much!

The only two models I have build and ready to paint are my GBBO Captain and a (potentially Libby-)Dread tho. :D

Important question. Is the book in English? (It might be a tough read for those of the ESL* variety)

I have some painting I *need* to get done before the start of the ETL so will toss a squad in just to stay motivated. Let me get some models assembled and some primer done smile.png


*English as a Second Language

Unfortunately, yes it is in English.

I will get us started! Although it will technically be 5 marines I have one above prime status that I need to finish, that will go with this squad. So perhaps it will be four individual models instead of five, but the final pic will have 5 marines for finality//wholeness (if this is not okay I can just throw in the Imperial Space Marine and he will be a counts as Tactical marine)

 

I Dont-Be-Haten, first of my name, swear upon Sanguinius's blood that runs through me, 4 loyal sons, shall defend his honor.

I DecimusBrutus, swear upon Sanguinius blood that runs through me, 5 loyal sons.

 

These bad boys are currently winging their way to me via post (the sniper scout is not part of the challenge). They will make up part of my OOP theme Blood Angels. Once they arrive I will strip and repaint them, so I hope this conforms to the rules.

Cool! I'll post my pic and update when I get home from work. 

 

EDIT:

 

I Terminal Maxocity, swear upon Sanguinius blood that runs through me, 2 loyal sons.

 

Here are the two models I'll be doing. They are two of the Terminators from the Space Hulk box.

With 2 weeks left, I suppose it's better late than never...

 

 

I, TerminatorAM of the Flesh Tearers, swear to answer the challenge of the sons of Russ and complete 1 model before the challenge's deadline.

 

Here's the model in question. My Librarian which has been mostly stripped of a poor paint job and will now be restored to glory.

Here is the link to my WIP log which I'll also use to track my progress.

Ok, I'm in.

With all the talk of TychoDread the last few days I figured we'd better have one, hadn't we?

I'm not in it for the book, so count me out of the judging, I'd just like a banner sig when I get it done.

 

And, as a special bonus, in honour of our hirsute Marine brothers, I'll paint up the Long Fang with tankard which I've had sitting around for ages.

 

I swear to get these finished by 5th May, for Sanguinius! Oi oi saveloy!

Yeah I haven't done anything after my WIP either. It's even worse since i'm actually almost done with it after one session and now he's sitting there for two weeks or such already. :/
