The Monthly Vow: January 2016!

What did he use, what did you use and what mission?

It was one of the Nova missions and he had scatbikes, a Centstar with Tiguruius, Hornets, Warp Hunters, a Sicaran and various other stuff. I had a pure DE list with lots of venoms, ravagers, a reaper etc. Basically he had 5 or 6 units that were pretty much guaranteed to wipe out whatever they shot at every turn. Nothing in our codex can match that firepower or withstand it.

I have no idea what a Nova mission is. The Sicaran seems nasty but the other stuff should be able to kill I guess.

Apologies for taking this thread off topic.

The Sicaran is statistically guaranteed to kill one vehicle per turn. It is absolutely brutal to face as a DE player.

@Count: That is an absolute beast of a list to face.

I forgot to mention the D-Scythe Wraithguard...

Damn, I should have put this in the vow:

Terrain. Assemble and paint the following:
-Brush 4 Hire "Not Eldar Space Elf Terrain"

30K Assemble and paint the following:
-Land Raider
-Spartan for LVO
-10 Tactical Marines/Rampagers to fill out squads

40K
-Wave Serpent
-10 Guardians

Finding out that I couldn't attend LVO and trading for a bunch of DZC stuff really put my vow off the rails. I did get a ton of stuff done though:

Screw you and your superb speed painting

Carried over from December - Molik Karn, Aptimus Marketh and Supreme Archdomina Makeda for Hordes

New for January - Assemble and base all the miniatures from AVP - The Hunt Begins (3 Predators, 5 Colonial Marines and a bunch of aliens). Not painting them yet though.

Try to get 150 points of Steel Phalanx guys together for Infinity

Vow failing abysmally this month. Managed to get Molik Karn done, assembled and based all my AVP stuff and assembled the Infinity stuff but only painted 1.5 of them.

Pics to follow.

I didn't complete anything on my list. I suck haha

Damn man awesome stuff!

Final pic of Izamu varnished and based properly

Love the base, dude. Love the base. Looks like real driftwood.
Is Izamu a driftwood drifter?

In lieu of a February Vow thread, I will make my terribly daunting vow here.

I have 1500 points of Tyranids (+ spawnable termagants) to paint and base before march 12th. Let's see if i can release my inner ESE and speed paint the crap out of these spacebugs.

I'm on it!

Right, finally got round to taking some pics. As usual, apologies for the poor lighting etc.

First up, the AVP stuff. Models are gorgeous but not had a chance to do anything other than assemble them so far. Here's the whole lot:



And a focus on the Predators, which are IMO the best of the bunch:



Molik Karn





And the start of my Infinity force - the Steel Phalanx. Here's the first guy - Cable Eudoros:



And the rest of my initial 150 points, assembled and primed:
