WarriorFish Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Great work Blackwood, Canis really pops :tu: We'll be needing some close ups though ;) I have some progress to report; not done yet but slowly getting there!

Mordian Glory Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Kind of silent here guys... What you can hear is the sound of a thousand paintbrushes gripped in the sweaty paws of Imperial Guard Officers who are bitterly muttering about spending hours and hours on every 4 points worth of infantryman Have to agree with Colonel Bindoff, what you hear is the sound of quiet productivity in the name of the Emperor! My evidence for this is that I have completed another infantry squad, leaving just 1 more and 3 characters and my first vow will be completed :) I have been reading the weekly updates and whilst the Guard is doing well, our average vow is quite low in comparison to other forums. If I can for my second vow I will try and do some big points intensive units. In the mean time, lets all push for the burn and get some of those first vows completed :) Arkaniss, duz_, WarriorFish and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Blackwood Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thank you , They are inconsistent sometimes the models fit nice and snug ,sometimes they just kinda sit in there but loosely worth the money though Arkaniss, WarriorFish, duz_ and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 @ Gilt_imp: A great second vow sir! However there has been a misunderstanding of the rules - let me clear this up: The units of other IFOR Forums must be equal or less to the number of units from your Forum of Preference (the Guard in your case) in each vow. I totally get you have misinterpreted this and it's a misunderstanding of the rules so I'll let it pass this time, just keep it in mind for future vowing. Truth is people have made a similar misinterpretation of the rules elsewhere too - so maybe next year I'll try to make it more clear... Thank you , They are inconsistent sometimes the models fit nice and snug ,sometimes they just kinda sit in there but loosely Hidden Content worth the money though This is amazing work mate - really great! Got two questions for you: 1) Is that a completion? and 2) What's the points value? Gilt_imp has given two possible values but I need your own verdict on that. UPDATED TO THIS POINT! duz_ and gilt_imp 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Still had a infantry squad to finish up my first vow That is completed now , it should come in at 578 points Infantry Squad 1 40 Infantry Squad 2 44 Infantry Squad 3 44 Canis Rex 450 So this bring us to the next step which will be Vow #2 from me We will Focus on House Blackwood this go round. I Lord Blackwood rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Astra Militarum by way of House Blackwoods Knights and vow to complete One Knight Gallant One Armiger Warglaive and One Armiger Helverin of total value 710 points on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-endHere is the picture of the models to be painted the axe is simply going to be a fancy reaper chainsword outside of narrative campaigns.

gilt_imp Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 @ Captain Semper: Sorry for the misunderstanding, but thank you! Wip update. The details on Skitarii figures are great but fairly time consuming to complete. Anyway, keep painting Guardsmen, the half way line is in in sight now Iron Bars, WarriorFish, Captain Semper and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Blackwood Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 One of the Great Things about ETL is that it galvanizes me to not just paint but to play. I had a game against Deathguard today using all the infantry I had painted for the event and one of the knights I painted for the event.

Lord Blackwood Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Vow 2 is complete Lets get back to the guard elements for the next vow , Solar aux models are great but to fit them into a standard IG list sometimes you need to get creative I Lord Blackwood rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Astra Militarum and vow to complete One Unit of Bullgryns with brute shields and mauls 3 militarum tempestus command squads each with 3 plasma guns , one with a melta gun , one with a grenade launcher and the last with a vox caster of total value 355 points on or before September 1st, 2019.
