=] 12 Months of Hobby 2020 [=

[Rogue]

My second June vow is complete. Here's my tech-priest:

 

[Etheneus]

Vow complete.

 

Ten guardswomen that I'll spread out into my now 4 squads.

 

Here all 10 are painted but only 4 got new bases because I wanted the other to fit right in with the other squads so removed some males from their bases and put the women on those.

 

To not cheat on the vow I immediately made 6 new bases to the males that had to leave room for the women.

 

So in total 10 women and 10 bases.

[mactire]

Calling my June vow complete, 60 Wolves reshouldered

[TPS]

Warhounds done! Those AT minis are just heaps of fun to paint.

 

 

 

[Trokair]

TPS, those Warhounds look Great!

Found a fair amount of painting time so five sisters done for my June vow.

The Canoness and Iamgfier are about a third of the way done so I will continue to work on them for next month’s vow together with as many sisters as I can manage.

I, Trokair, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete some more Sister of Battle (including the Canoness and Imagfier) by month's end.

"The Iron Creed teaches that perseverance, courage and faith are the greatest virtues." - Canoness Alycha




Vow complete!

Throne, this month's been a tough one. I haven't had the time or energy to pick up a brush.

I know Alycha's face isn't shaded yet - I've run out of Agrax Earthshade, and using Darkoath Flesh in it's place just went badly this time, but I think I can otherwise call her completed. Only just in time, too!

[Givemead]

Vow complete.

 

 

Seems I managed to take a photo that doesn't show any of the text I put on their legs.

[Aeternus]

@Rogue: Solid work on the techpriest, rarely see mechanicus not with red robes but the blue/grey you've done is really nice, goes well.

 

@Etheneus: New squad's looking good all camo-d up, I'm impressed at the patience and work on all the helmets/heads but it's come out nicely!

 

@Mactire: Intimidating rout of fenryka there, cool to see them all done

 

@TPS: Man, the panelling and checkers on those warhounds are hella cool, I've been putting off some Atarus titans but you're pushing me over the edge :P 

 

@Trokair: Sisters came out nicely, have you got your own order you're going for or is it one of the main ones?

 

@Ace: Alycha striking a powerful pose, solid work painting her, and even one model on a month you don't feel like it is impressive. Looking forward to a whole order showcase come the end of the challenge 

 

 

Vow complete.

 

 

Seems I managed to take a photo that doesn't show any of the text I put on their legs.

 

  They look awesome man! The WB scheme really suits cataphractii and your red has come out gorgeously, especially next to the metalwork. Intimidating as all hell.

JUNE SUMMARY

June saw 30 Participants continuing the Challenge for another month. The 30 participants vowed a massive 292 models, of the 30 Frater, we had 25 complete their tasks, and complete 244 models (as a side note, that's EXACTLY the same number of models pledged in April, with just 4 more Completions...) Once more we've managed to maintain 200+ models for another month, making it 6 for 6, a continued outstanding effort from everyone :tu:

In a battle of tiny Titans this month, TPS' and Spazmolytic's AT Titans duked it out for this months Favourite, in the end it was the amazing orange of Spazmolytic's Warhound that won me over.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Campaign Summary

With mactire's Completion of 60 new Shoulder pads, the Imperium is back on top with the most models completed for June with a total of 146 models. With both The_Chaplain and TPS' putting out large numbers of models, the Xenos completed 78 models for the month, with Chaos following up with 20 models in June.

Having completed the first Six months of the Challenge, this month sees the first of the Silver Badges, and with them a CP increase, making consistency even more rewarding. The Imperium has hit triple digits this month earning 104CP. Earning a little less than last month, The Chaos Faction 53CP in June, with the Xenos Forces earning 67CP for the month.

[Gederas]

So, with four days left, I'm thinking I might not be able to finish all the models I vowed, or at least not finish them all to the standard I usually do. Because the vehicles I vowed, aside from the Repulsor, weren't built by me and were assembled in kind of a bad manner.

 

So those might just be "tabletop ready/3-colour minimum", sadly.

It's all good, one model is enough

One model may be enough, but I vowed more than one model :lol:

Any unfinished models will qualify for the Stubborn badge for next month :tu:

[Gederas]

Touche :lol:

 

Well, that'd be the Impulsor and both Baal Predators. Everything else I vowed is done :yes:

[Skywrath]

Last minute addition to my vow - a trio of Deathwing Aggressors. Note the custom shoulders..

 

This was my first proper attempt at painting bone - instead of shading them (with the exception of the left-most aggressor) I just used 'ardcoat to bring out the edges. I'd say they turned out pretty well, thoughts? Images in spoiler.

 

 

For the Lion!

[Zujara]

Think I am squeezing this in just in time, the month got busy for me! June vow complete

For the Lion!

I like those - very neat, and the tilting shields are a nice touch.

 

Personally, I think they'd benefit from shading - it serves to up the contrast, making the shadows and recesses darker, and so giving much more definition to the 'presentation' parts of the armour. Without it, all the bone areas blend together a bit.

[Rogue]

@Aeternus - Thanks. I was tempted by red, but my wife's Ad Mech are already all over that, and I wanted him to fit visually with the rest of my Cultists (where the dark red is a spot colour rather than being most of a model).

 

But it's encouraging when other people like stuff too :)

[Dwango]

11 murder clowns complete. There are 12 in the pics but I had already completed one earlier in the month. Frustratingly I've not managed to complete my shadowseer in time. But at least I can re-vow....

Oh, and also I never thanked grot for the May Favorite Badge. Thank you, and I'm glad you liked them!

[Jolemai]

 

48 HRS TO GET ANY OUTSTANDING COMPLETIONS IN

 

Personally, I think all our completions are outstanding...

[Jolemai]

June Update 3/3 - vow complete

[Axineton]

I haven’t managed to do any of the chaos knight I pledged this month. Going back to work has dwindled my hobby time big time. I’ll try again in July. 

[Gederas]

Well...

Gederas - 10 Intercessors, 1 Repulsor Executioner, 1 Impulsor, 2 Baal Predators

I got 11 of those 15 done (Intercessors and the Executioner). Will get the other three done this month.

 

But now:

I, Gederas, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete Master Lazarus of the 5th Company and a Primaris Ancient of the Dark Angels, as well as Dante, Corbulo and Astorath of the Blood Angels to the defence of the Imperium by month's end.

 

[Givemead]

  They look awesome man! The WB scheme really suits cataphractii and your red has come out gorgeously, especially next to the metalwork. Intimidating as all hell.

Thanks very much Aeternus.  Cataphractii is definitely my favourite mark of terminator armour and I agree they look really good in the WB's colours.

 

I've taken a couple of extra photos to show the text on the leg armour that I've added to my log.

[Trokair]

Aeternus, thank you, they are a minor order and I did an article for them in the Liber as part of the Iron Gauntlet. In short they are an order stationed in a Mechanicus controlled system so there has been some cultural seepage and influences. It is more apparent with the work in progress Canoness from a few pages back as she is wilding an AdMech axe as her blessed blade.

Edited July 1, 2020 by Trokair

[Rogue]

As we hit July, here's a quick update on my plodding along vow:

 

 

The base and doors are painted and assembled. So far, so good, but for now it goes back on the shelf to make way for these:

 

 

Another batch of acolytes to throw at the unbelievers. They'll be my July pledge.

 

I, Rogue, pledge to complete six acolytes (for the glory of the Xenos faction) before the end of July.
