Tale of 25 Gamers Pledge Thread!

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Ok so after some 8ed evaluation I have not yet come to a decision as to the figures I will be working on, However as soon as I figure it out I will edit this post!

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Annnnnnnd updated!

Now, go and start making your Before pictures! IvorTangrean beat you guys to it, and his stuff is looking far too grey.

Go ye little minions, make your painting threads!

I'm also about to update the thread to include the number of total participants, the tale of X gamers has gone on long enough. We're going to have an official start date with the beginning of the Golden Bat, so people can include their painting marathons together.

So on the 18'th all hell will break loose with their multicolored paints, cursing artists, and possibly bloody exacto knives. This start date will allow everyone to know what models they have to paint, for sure! (Especially those painting the new box set that we have no idea what's really in it) Also, those participating in the Golden Bat (Like myself) have a little more motivation/Creative juices flowing from seeing all the wonderful models being churned out by our comrades in the Tale.

So, the 18'th is the last day to sign up! I'll close/Lock the thread on the 19'th my time (GMT + 9) so it should be pretty late in the world on the 18'th when it locks.

Anyone looking to join has until that time. Good luck, and may your brushes move quicker than mine!

 

[Goggalor]

20 ork boyz

10 scouts
10 death company
5 sanguinary guard
1 baal predator

[ChaosJedi666]

[uga bug]

Yay, its begun! Good luck to everyone else participating in it!

starts on the 18th...i think.
At least I hope-my order hasnt arrived yet so i have nothing to paint of my pledge!


Also I think it would be a good idea if everyone put their pledge in the first post of their plog threads.
While it is nice to see the pictures of everyoens undercoated figures, it would be much easier if we knew what you were painting from your pledge!-rather than having to come to this thread to find out

That's if they announce the new starter kit in time, but then I'll just update my painty blog when I get the box. O:

 

[Nikos]

Really sorry, is there any chance I can add a few units to my list. Im feeling insecure about the size of mine. If it is ok can I add...
3 x Night goblin fanatics
One box of black orks (not sure how many are in it, 16?)

Cheers

 

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

Updated!

I also added a vampire lord to my pledge, my golden bat entry.

24 more models need pledging to reach 2000 models!!!!

 

[Onikaigo]

Im feeling insecure about the size of mine.

Nevah! You're only as good as your confidence is. =P (Had to say it, I apologize!)

Thanks for the updating, Ducky. 'Preciate it.

I should have my own Plog up and running by the end of this weekend, so you'll get to see my Grey and partially unassembled horde!

 

[uga bug]

24 more models need pledging to reach 2000 models!!!!

In that case I'll add 20 mantic elf spearmen and the mantic elf kings court to my pledge.

Thats 24 models
...and i'll be painting them anywhether-whether they are in my pledge or not

 

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

Updated again...Notice the model count wasn't fully updated, done that too.

Thanks for the updating, Ducky. 'Preciate it.

It's No problem some of us are in the summer term of collage, i've had about 2 of the last 5 weeks off and have had to write 1 short easy...which I haven't done. i.e i'm not struggling for time.

Edit: That's a whole heap of models we've pledged, I wonder how much there worth ££ wise?

 

[Santawraith]

I would like to ask r we starting on the 18th or we allowed to start now after seeing a few of the plogs im just confused. Not that im done with the ogre's im working on right but am curious and confused.

 

[Onikaigo]

You start painting on the 18'th .The Plogs are starting simply to showcase the 'Before' pictures, whicha re mandatory.

So you've still got just over a week to get everything in order and find a camera.

 

[Goggalor]

will remove my crusader, baal and a rhino from my pledge as i have started painting already. a bit too eager to start. will start the rest on the 18th. my fault.

 

[Onikaigo]

No worries Goggalor! Don't be so hard on yourself. =P

Enthusiasm is awesome. It's only a week or so away so it's not too bad.

 

[Santawraith]

I want to clarify one more thing just so im not confused do all these things have to be assembled and primered and on my log by the 18th. Still waiting for things to arrive and some of them are here but not put together fully. So just checking.

 

[Onikaigo]

As long as you have before and after pictures of whatever models you want to do, you're good.

I.E : Your situation, Santawraith is that you don't have the models -yet-. They're included in your pledge, but as long as you make before and after pictures of the unpainted models I'm satisfied.

 

[Santawraith]

ok cool hopefully we get them all by august is my hope. As i get them ill add them to my plog. Even better cause I have ran aground on my black coach conversion too. thanks for the heads up.

 

[Bishop]

Had to edit my list a bit... my Varghulf needs to be painted!

I thought about dropping out, Ive been stupid busy lately... but if I stay in, hopefully Ill get off my butt and actually paint something.

 

[Sanai]

Wow, alot has happened in the week I was away. I got some guardsmen to spray black.

Edit: So the 18th is the start date? Whats the end date, i.e. the date by which we must have all our stuff finished?

Edit: Updating my pledge on the assumption we get 6 months as mentioned in Onikaigo's first post. (Just realised 6 months is a long time)

[Onikaigo]

Thanks for all the pledges, guys!

Where are the rest of your plogs? I know mine isn't up yet, so it's kind of hypocritical to bug you guys for yours, but the deadline is tomorrow! (My time, the 18'th)

I'll probably let the Tale start, and give people an extra week or so to jump in.
