Casual 30k Hobby Challenge. Month 1


Frostmourne

Recommended Posts

I hope so too. I completely lost sight of my pledge and am nowhere near completing it this month. Oopssss.

Me too, school and work have me tied up, with girlfriend a close second.

Hell even when I do have a bit of time I'm too dang tired. I've always wondered if I'd still be doing 30k when I retire in God knows how many years, although it might be creepy to have a 70+ year old dude playing with plastic dudesmen, but I'm sure there's worse tongue.png

i guess that's why i havent been going to bed until 3 since this pledge started....well that and destiny

Looking great betrayer41! I love the look of that unit. Great use of different bits.

 

You too Wyvern! Get the rest of that unit painted and dirty them up a bit! There's still time before the end of the month! 

 

So glad to see the XII Legion out in force. Well done guys!

 

And fire golem, that's a solid kitbash. He's for your Raven Guard isn't he? When are we going to see some paint on him?

@stru thanks! These by far have been my favorite guys to build and paint. Here is my pledge unit completely done.... I think, I'm sure I'll find something more I need to do. This isn't first attempt at plasma lighting it's ok! Let me know what you think guys thanks

 

Blood for the primarch! Skulls for the twelth legion!!

Man, Power Talons look so much better than Lightning Claws :\

 

Great Work Betrayer you do us of the XIIth Legion Proud!

 

Mayhaps you should represent such august brothers in the bloodied arena? : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294527-gods-of-the-arena-world-eaters-glory-everlasting/

Anything to add yet another thick layer of blood to the Sands and bring more glory to the XIIth!

OT: Man those World Eaters bits (chaos or heresy) really mesh well together, not a fan of having only one shoulder plate (personal pref) since it reduces their overall bulk, but hey, they look good. Thats all that matters!

Edit: I find you lack of Chainaxe's distrubing... :p

Also, as a General notice to anyone playing a Traitor Legion (or loyalist detachment thereof), Check out the Chaos Space Marines Sub Forum, there should be a community post much like the one I directed Betrayer to for the various Legions.

Hell, Why not just link them:

Sadly, we have no Loyalist equivalent beyond posting our forces in their specific Chapter subsection. But no Worries, we always have the HH sub! tongue.png

P.s Heathens please tell me if this is out of place / irrelevant tongue.png

I hope so. Dont see why not.

me too, but it seems that frostmourne wasn't online since september the 12th, so at his worst, someone other need to start the thread for month 2 tongue.png

Little update on the Raider, still WIP

@daismith: awesome Dark Angels =)

Just a quick update, unfortunately work has been particularly hectic recently so I haven't made any progress. Off for the next few days so I'm hoping to get some work done!

 

Also, thanks to HMRC returning my overpaid tax, my Iron Warriors will be receiving some reinforcements:

 

2x Medusas

10 man heavy support squad with autocannons

Terminator armoured Warsmith(based on the Iron Father model)

10 man close combat tactical squad with Rhino

 

Ordered some Myrmidon Destructors and some of Micro Art studios Iron Brotherhood range to start my Dark Mechanichus allies!

 

I've been looking at getting some guitar strings to use as cables and mechandrites, any ideas on whats the best to use?

 

Cheers!

 

betrayer41 - You continue to impress, mate! Looking forward to next month!

Atia - I can only echo what everyone else has said so far. Really great stuff!

I've finally finished off my Red Butchers, so I'm all done for September! Despite initially hating the look of these sculpts and their colour scheme (a couple of them just look like they're falling over/tripping up, and the FW scheme reminds me of clowns), I'm actually pretty happy with the way they've turned out. I re-based the Chainfisted Devoured to try and show him stomping on a fallen legionnaire, which was lots of fun.

And, on the topic of next month (for those who haven't seen him in my plog over in WIP), my XII Legion Praetor.

I'll also be trying to do some of my VII Legion stuff next month, but the lack of shoulder pads from FW makes it awkward. So I'm either finishing off my Seeker Squad and their Rhino, or doing an Achilles-Alpha, haven't quite decided yet.

Actually, thinking about it - Is there any reason not to just roll this thread over into October rather than starting a new one? Or is it easier to start a new one to keep track of pledges, etc?

@stru Thanks it definitely took a while, and this thread/your work has definitely kept me motivated and inspired. I love the brass, i did me devoured like that and think i may kit-bash butchers and Justaerins and make them devoured. Love the work

Some fantastic stuff on here - the dark angels are stunning Dai.

 

Does anyone want to start a thread for October, or shall we carry on in here? I guess I wouldn't mind running a thread for October, but I figure someone who has been more active this month, like FireGolem, Slipstreams, or betrayer MIGHT be more suitable... whatever y'all think anyway.

 

Right now I actually have a bit of painting time for the first time in three months, so I'm going to make a small pledge for October to start me off.

 

I, Kor'Vesh, pledge to paint five pyroclasts and a Praetor of the glorious XVIIIth Legion astartes in the month of October 2014.

 

I'm hopeful I'll get this done easily enough, as I've also got a rhino to paint, and I've just ordered myself Vulkan and a Sicaran - I'll really want to work on those once they turn up! Hopefully some pictures will follow soon, either here or in a month 2 thread...

Well, works been massively busy what with our financial year end coming up, so I've only got the Praetor and 5 Templar Brethren painted, and I'm working on the layer stages for my Alpha Legion tactical squad (mk III really does take an age to paint!). So I'll likely push the Tacticals till October's pledge.

I've completely scrapped the September pledge, partly because I've changed legions a lot, and partly because I've been doing lots of overtime at work and haven't had time haha, but I should have more free time next month and I have some models now so I'll properly start then. I don't mind starting a new thread, unless someone else wants to haha.

I'm all in for October.

 

fire golem - Do you want to kick off the new thread? You've probably been in here more than anyone, and you were the first to pledge for September.

 

Also... Any UK/EU residents heading to Warhammer Fest or MCM Comic Con in October? Would you guys be keen for a meet up?
