'Embrace Pestilence!'
|
I've overwhelmed myself with massive vows lately so I'm going for a simple vow this month to get myself back into the painting side of things by painting one of my favourite figures: Krazy Konrad! Plague Priest Phebrickid - Easy Assemble; 8 Zombies (8 V.V.P.s) - Conversion/Greenstuff; 1 Flying Possessed Chaos Space Marine (1 V.V.P.s) - Paint; Konrad Von Carstein (5 V.V.P.s) - Base; Konrad Von Carstein (1 V.V.P.s) - Total V.V.P.s = 15 = 1 PRS points Total completed V.V.P.s = 0 = 0 PRS points

I guess I might still make this (secretly including the stuff I did last week) (Haven't done anything last month, so I didn't know when I'd pick it up again...)I'm also doing 8 skinks that are the crew of a stegadon. No idea when I'll be doing the stegadon and/or the platform though. How many points should I count for them? (They're about as big/as much work as normal skinks and include 2 characters, so that would be 6 x 2 and 2 x 5, but that would already be 22 V.V.P.s and then that's just a 3rd of the total model...) I was thinking maybe 8 V.V.P. for the 8 skinks? Little Wolf - VOW RATING Assemble: 20 Skaven slaves (20 V.V.P.s) - Conversion/Green Stuff: 5 Skaven slave weapons (5 V.V.P.s) - Paint: 8 Night Goblins (but they're halfway already) (8 V.V.P.s) - 8 Skinks (8 V.V.P.s ??) - Total 41 V.V.P.s = 2 P.R.S. POINTS Total completed x V.V.P.s = x P.R.S. POINTS

Vows updated! Little Wolf, you pose a few interesting questions. The rule is that you don't get any points for painting a model partially: the points come only when the model is completed. So if you paint something halfway in October, and then finish it in November, all the points for the painting are earned in November. The Stegadon crew issue is a bit more complicated. Traditionally, we don't give additional points for crew members that are part of a larger model. Thus, for example, a Warp Lightning Cannon has three crew members, but you get points only for painting one large model. Similarly, when you paint a Plague Furnace, you don't get extra points for the Plague Priest and the three Plague Monks. Basically, when Warhammer treats something as one model for purposes of combat resolution, then so do we. Therefore, according to the rules as they now stand, you actually don't get any points for painting the Skinks on a Stegadon: they're considered part of the larger model. Our system was designed (well before my time) to be as simple as possible. That means that sometimes things get oversimplified. We do need to have a discussion about this, both within the Painting and Hobby team and among the membership, but since we're likely to be getting an additional Painting and Hobby moderator tomorrow, it seems only right to wait, give the new Council member a few days to settle in, and resume the discussion then. We'll take it up again before the October Vows are finalized. |

Well maybe this question should wait until the new council member arrives but I don't think it'll hurt to ask it anyway: I have two doomwheels wich are almost done. One needs to have that big banner painted, and the other needs just a tad of conversion extra's and a banner. All the work up till this point was done in the summer. Should I adjust my vows as, well, 1 VVP for painting the rather large banner and 2 VVP for the other banner and conversionwork? Or should I bring the whole two projects into the vows (thus netting me about 32 VVP for just finishing something that I started some time ago before I was in the P.R.S.)? Alas, I would have liked to enter them in the competition but they are already out there on teh interwebz Next year I'll read the competition categories first and plan (and post) accordingly :blush:.

If it's not completed yet, you can bring the whole model into the current painting vows. The situation you're in with your Doomwheels having appeared previously is actually really common. That's one of the reasons that we have the out-of-competition thread, so that you can show off models that would have fit the theme, but which, for one reason or another, aren't eligible for the actual competition. Post the models there: we'd love to see them! |

Quick update. I started on my vow, but did some other things as well... As usual. I have gotten a good start on those 10 clanrats and the Rogre, so I hope to finish them in time.

Vows updated! Little Wolf, I made some minor corrections to your vows in the version I pasted above. I put in your difficulty level (Medium) and I changed x (which in the sample version just represents an integer) to 0. |

Vows updated! Tezz, I changed your vows up top: you wrote that you had vowed to complete 39 V.V.P.s, but had actually completed 54 V.V.P.s. But obviously that was the wrong way round, as I saw when I added the points up. So I fixed it. |
