2017 - A Tale of Hobbyists


Recommended Posts

Recon squad is done. I'm not 100% sold on the camo I did, but I'm not sure if I want to redo it.

More update on the Big E

I need to finish some fiddly bits like the trim on his ptheurges (sp?) and what to put on his little shield piece.

I had been waiting on my new 8th models to arrive before posting a vow, but it appears they won't show up for another few days still, and I don't want to miss a month so let's go with what we have.

 

I pledge to paint two new terminators to add to my existing 5 man squad over the weekend, bringing their number up to the holy seven.

Wowowo!!! Ladies n gents the quality of the work here is outstanding!!

Replicas ultras are my favorite boys n blue ever!!

 

I've been on a hardship vacation for the last week and am really glad to be heading home tomorrow- I miss my dog, I miss my work, I miss my paints and minis;)

 

I've had at the beach with wine and internet mode and have ordered a set of Iron Tyrants for my tda heavy warriors, a moritat with twin volkites, a anvillus and a glaive for my blood angels and a solar auxilia command squad and xion for the heck of it.

 

Upon my return i will be busting butt to get the 10 man IW cat squad finished as well as the 10 man Fists breacher squad ready and I'd like to finish up the 20 man BA assault squad so I can prep the 20 tacs I have on standby.

 

Should have he first box from overseas coming soon with the laser destroyer and javelins for the warriors.

 

Looking forward to the BA decals coming soon and looking to pick up a partial IW decal sheet as well.

First half of the Mk III squad of 20 done. I still need to drill the bolter barrels but I need a new 1mm drill bit first.

Another homeless character for a legion I don't play.

  I get a kick out of the colorful, metallic paintscheme Chapters using camo cloaks. Every time I lay eyes on a squad like that, I imagine the Sergeant with tactical delusion, shiny and chrome, behind a bush, like "I AM THE STEALTHIEST MAN IN THE GALAXY!"

 

  And his poor squad just accepts that camo cloaks are a thing that's happening now. 

 

  "LOOK HOW INCOGNITO WE ARE!!"

 

  "Very much, sir."

 

  "I PUT A HANDFUL OF LEAVES ON MINE."

 

  "You are the epitome of stealth and subterfuge, sir."

 

  "HAHAHAHAHAHA"

So I can finally say that my pledge is complete.

 

Basing has yet to be decided as I don't know if I will tie it into my Tau and have them both fighting over the same planet. I have yet to decide on squad markings and what company they are from so there is still some stuff to be done at a later date once the bulk of the force is complete.

I've actually been tinkering away a fair bit, lots of half finished stuff, then tinkering with already finished stuff, a terrible habit which is not conducive to getting an army done!! I shall however have my Apothecaries done shortly, a redo of Van Galen and my latest character, Oleander Koh. I'm just being lazy with the Deredeo, really just need to scorch the las cannon barrels and stick it all together and then varnish! Still should get my 'finishing off pledge done'

Still a little more to do, but here he is at the moment!

 

Just as well I've a few medics, as Man down....

Saul took a tumble, his pointy finger is snapped, so the hand is requiring replacement, so I think i'll re-do the pose slightly, as I wasn't overly happy with it!! Just as well I've all these medics on the go..... So, Saul will be the re-do and repair vow, along with a few other things, possibly my Contemptor!

  THEY ARE SO CRISPY. GOD. How do you keep your delineation so clean? My Malice army is halfsies because I'm lazy and I still can't get the lines to be perfect like yours are. lol

Not a lot of hobby time last month due to graduation, but really enjoyed seeing the progress of everyone else so far! Should be on track to finish my own vows by friday. 

 

The abhuman auxilia is up first, pending bases, have to see what I'll do with the Armies on Parade board before I do any basing.

The first squad and disciplinary officers still need a few colours, finishing them up and posting pics later on!

Friday!! I thought I had until Sunday... Better get cracking....

 

For Clarity. I will be making the final check for this 'Month' on Saturday Morning - USA Central Time.  So most places in the world have some time on the 15th for last Min updates. 

 

Also please rember, even if you dont finish your vow make an update this will allow you to stay in the event!

thank you Lemainus :teehee: I just paint the yellow base first then use the red run up the line to the edges, use a fine detail brush for the lines and go slow then fill the rest in with a normal brush. I just find out what angle I need to hold the mini at to pull straight down with my right hand for the line, most of the time it works unless you sneeze :censored:

Same thing I do fisheye. Only difference is I airbrush the yellow (averland sunset) over black primer then a fine detail brush and Mephiston red for the other quarter.

 

In other news vow 2 for this month is complete.

If it pleases my fellow fraters, may I present Squad Agravain, 2nd tactical

On to Vow 2, Rearm and Redeploy, I have finally located a handful of models that were... killed... when my fiancee tried to toss me my blender bottle a few months ago. She missed me (and the open kitchen I was standing in) and ended up clearing off my hobby table with frightening efficiency. Two Malice Hammer Time Guys, three riflemen, and a little fun surprise for my own amusement. Updates tomorrow, probably.

Little update on my first vow here.

 

I pledged a 5 man squad but have actually doubled it up to 10, does that count as both vows for the first month ? (I think we needed 2 because of the extended time)

 

Some of them need still require more detailing but I am confident that I can finish them by tomorrow :)
