Overview

Argh, clubs, what is this tech heresy, Why can't I see what I'm trying to do? (end old man fumbling). For plodding along (should we have a separate tab/thread/doodad/whatever it's called for plodding alongs?) I have my two: 1 - Complete all LI stuff I owned at the start of the year (and the bits I failed last year). This is: approx 3/4 of the large industrial terrain box 3 Malcador Infernus 4 Leman Russ 8 Sabres 1 Saturnine bulk box And the 'true' HH scale Solar Auxillia Leman Russ. 2 - Stop collecting unpainted kill team stuff - this is paint a minimum of six things more than I buy. Each team or terrain set from a box or stand alone team counts as one. For January (as I doubt we'll have any undercoating weather in time to achieve anything) I'm just looking at finishing off the in flight terrain bits I didn't complete January and then getting ahead on the builds

Never finished my December vow, so I might as well try again. I, Khulu, vow to paint one tactical squad for the month of January. Pic from December vow

I would like to roll over my 8 cultists as a plodding along vow. Still deciding on what to vow for January but I will have something picked soon.

And that's the Rhino Wreck Terrain done!

I, Brother Christopher, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 3 Terminators by month's end.

That is three crates done in 6 hours!

Nice save there before the whip cracked

I, Llagos_Tyrant, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 5 Vanguard Veterans, 3 Crates, and one Rhino Wreck terrain piece by month's end.

Decided what to do for January. I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of January the following: 3 Memnyr Strategists, 1 Grimnyr and 2 CORVs, 3 Legio Bolter and Chainsword marines.

My plan for 2026 is to concentrate on finishing what I started and holding back on buying new stuff. Seriously, I still have all the elite marines of the Indomitus box just assembled and primed so far, so buying a new starter box with marines is surplus to requirements. My overall plodding along vow will include working on the 4 Kill Teams that are already sitting here in various stages of completion (30k Night Lords, Nemesis Claw, Fellgor Ravagers and Mandrakes), I would like to finish the Tyranid army that I started in 2025, I really should get some paint on the terrain that is sitting here and as a special project I would like to built, convert and paint a Night Lord knight (I already have the Imperial Knight box here). There are also more than 50 (!!) Night Lord affiliated models sitting on my shelf (characters, cultists, raptors) and of course the above mentioned loyalist marines and also some Heresy Forgeworld models (Sevatar, Khârn, Garro). As you can see, I already have enough models here that need work. So here goes: I, Valkia the Bloody, vow for the year of 2026 to finish at least some of the already started projects and at least try to resists buying any more shiny new boxes before having made some progress on the backlog. As a concrete vow for the month of January, I vow to paint 5 lictor-esque models for my Tyranid army- the Deathleaper, Neurolictor and 3 Van Ryan's Leapers. I have already started on them and we have another holiday coming up Tuesday, I hope I can make some progress. I also finished my first model for 2026, Valkia the Bloody, possessed human pet of the leader of my Night Lord Warband- smaller raids she is allowed to lead herself. They are a pirate warband, so the armor she wears she had stolen after killing the previous owner in a sneaky ambush.

For january I will vow a jump captain with all weapon options

Planning to finally finish my Ezekiel conversion this month, this is where I left him,

I, Shard of Magnus, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 1 Forge Lord by month's end. In addition, I vow to complete the Warmaster Horus Lupercal as my first Plodding Along vow.

2nd plodding along for 2026: I vow to launch the Silent Waaagh! on the world of Armageddon, by completing 50+ ork infantry models (I have a huge pile of primed Orks waiting for a good mood, this is the time). It will be mostly Boys, Kommandos and several characters (including warboss Snikrot)

1st plodding along for 2026 I vow to complete ALL unfinished AdMech infantry models currently in my possession: - 15 Ruststalkers - 1 Marshal - 1 Tech Priest Dominus - 1 Stiltboy - 1 Datasmith - 21 Skittles (currently in various state of completion) - 8 servitors - 1 Technoarcheologist - 1 Overseer (or however the balloon boy is called)

I, Madao, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete one CAT, two dogs, four cops, four scums and one knight pilot by month's end.

Going to start with my 1st Plodding Along vow, then figure out in a couple of days what to do for Jan. I, Lord_Ikka, pledge a Plodding Along vow to completely paint the following: 3x Memnyr Strategists 1x Grimnyr and 2 CORV 30x Hearthkyn Warriors 3x Brokhyr Thunderkyn 5x Einhyr Hearthguard 6x Ironkin Steeljacks w/heavy volkite 6x Ironkin Steeljacks w/melee weapons 3x Hernkyn Pioneers 4x Kapricus Defenders 1x Hekaton Land Fortress 2x Sagitaurs Pics (will edit when I have the final three melee Steeljacks and the Land Fortress)

Well, I'm (hopefully) back. Or at least going to try to be. I, Brother Argent, vow for the month of January to paint: - Inquisitorial Agents x7 - Inquisitor Draxis x1 - Legio Bolter and Chainsword Members x3 I will also commit to a Plodding Along Vow: I, Brother Argent, vow to complete the first of my three Projects by next year: Project Lazarus - Completeing failed challenges/started projects; - Company Champion - Windrider Autarch - Windrider Farseer - Howling Banshees x5 - Wraithguard x5 - Wraithlord x1 - Tau Pathfinders x10 + Drones - Tau Devilfish - Tau Breachers x10 + Drones - Eldar Guardians x10 with weapon platform.

I’ll start my January as that was what I was trying to get through before I remember Christmas actually means spending time in traffic instead of relaxing at home. I, Blissful Brushes, embark on the 12MoH 2926 and pledge to complete my Votann combat patrol which is: - Hq dude - 6 berserkers - 2 jetbikes - 5 power armour guys - 5-10 Troops I haven’t a sausage what the unit names are if I’m honest, I’ll get a photo up when I’m back home. They’re in various states of paint right now, so I might have to tweak those numbers if more are done than I think. Jetbike on right is done, one of the power armour dudes is done, left column of basic infantry are done minus weathering powder and most have been base coated

While I try to figure out which model will be pledged for Jan., I will start with a plodding along: I, Bouargh, embark in 12MoH 2026 and pledge as a plodding along vow a scenery set to developp more my ashland thematic table under the form of a mining site with AT LEAST: - a fragdrill - a set of cranes - a pair of hills - a Diesel power generator Part being MtO I will have to wait for delivery latter this year. Rest will be bitzbox management… So, no pic.

I, andes, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete Lysander and 5 Assault Terminators by month's end.

Vow time...... I, W.A.Rorie, vow to paint all models for the Month of January 2026: 2x 5 man True Scaled Grey Knight Brotherhood Terminator Squads 1 Grey Knight Brother Captain (Need pics of unbuilt Terminators) For my Plodding Along Vow for 2026: True Scaled Venerable Dreadnought (Redemptor Conversion) (will update with more photos)

Might as well vow this now for January. I vow to paint 2 (or 3 if I fail the boxing day bash) Space Marines for Legio Bolter & Chainsword Roll of Honour event.
