=] The 12 Months of Hobby 2022 [=

[Dwango]

I'm nearly done on my vow, Just final touches on the praetor terminator then decals. I've gone and bought Corswain, couldn't resist, so I'm adding him to my vow. I shall post a pic of him later.

 

On a side note, my plodding along vow is almost complete too!! That will mean all my Heresy Dark Angels infantry is complete. Then it'll be on to the vehicles.

Managed to finish off the Necron part of my vow- 10 Warriors, 3 scarab bases, 2 Heavy Destroyers. Working on the Word Bearers kill-team/transport, hoping that I can burn them out this weekend.

I really like that 'rust because they're necrons but also a good contrast colour to the blue lights' thing you've got gong on there, Ikka.

 

Here's my own November completion - a hypermorph with a big hammer.

Thanks! The active rusting is because of the C'tan influence in the Empire of the Severed (in my head canon), and the blue was just based off of the color wheel contrast theory- luckily, I found a good metallic blue that works well. 

[Lord_Ikka]

Second part of my Nov vow finished, the Terrax count-as transport for my Word Bearers kill-team. The kill-team itself is progressing and should be done in time.

@Lord_Ikka That turned out awesome

Thank you very much- it was a pleasure to build and paint, I'm actually looking at buying a couple more just for fun.

[Brother Argent]

So I have been quiet, but not dead.  Had this guy finished for a week or two but never really got picks up.

 

Due to a variety of issues I am yet to receive my next Imperium delivery so instead I shall return to Conquest and attempt to get some of the guys that have been sitting around partially done or just in primer for the last year or so and vow to try to quickly finsih:

 

27 x Poxwalkers (some partially painted, others just need their bases finished)

1 x Myphitic Blightcrawler

1 x Foetid Bloat Drone

 

Note the Blight crawler isn't assembled that badly.  He is just in pieces for easier painting...

 

Wish me luck.  Next delivery is on the way so lets see how I go...

 

 

 

[Grotsmasha]

Although I originally planned on painting all of Conquest too, in the end I sold off the DG componant for a good chunk of change. I knida wish I hadn't, but realistically I was never going to get around to them.

I, andes, pledge to continue procrastinating on my Knives in the Void entry and instead complete a Warboss in Mega Armor in the month of November.

 

Finally got him done. I may have made a big mistake... I replaced my gaming PC (I gave my previous one to my daughter years ago when hers died) and bought Warhammer 40k: Darktide. Hobby progress is absolutely suffering 

 

[Dwango]

Vow complete. Sorry, many photos. 

 

I've managed to finally complete my herald too, which has a combi bolter option to go with the companions/command squad. 

 

 

I also thought I'd share a pic of all my infantry, which completes my plodding along vow. These have had the faces redone, redone power weapons, decals, battle damage & weathering. Also I've increased the base sizes on some as they were on the 25mm bases. 

 

I'm looking forward to taking a pic of all the DA force at the end of the year. Won't be complete but will be close. 

 

[gaurdian31]

Some really great completions this month! Here is my November vow complete:

What can say?  I am a horder and a glutton for punishment...

[Trokair]

November complete. As a test I am happy with it, but the attempt to make a Jade effect with darker and lighter parts did not really come through, the contrast was just to unifying compared to the underlying leadbelacher with caliban green and silver stippling. Oh well lesson learned.

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

 

 

All the pictures I took of these guys were bad but this squad is finally done! I may re-take proper photos in a proper lightbox (or at least, less janky than what I used for this) in a few weeks but this will do for now. Tried to tie their schemes into both my main dynastic force (hence candy-coat pauldrons and chrome genestealer arms/carapace) while also tying them into my Flayer Immortals (hence the leadbelcher bodies since when I made my flayer immortals I hadn't landed on chrome yet and I don't think I want to repaint them). I do love how they turned out, it must be said--the conversion process was a bunch of fun.

 

Anyway, on to my Assault marines next. Also onto the busiest time of the year for me so I expect I won't finish my Plodding Along vow by the end of the year like I thought, but who knows. A month and 16, 17 models left. And I need to replace my chrome pen and most of my brushes. 

 

Pray to the God-Emperor for me, brothers, and to the Primarch to give me strength.

[Lord_Ikka]

Unfortunately, I'm most likely not going to finish the Word Bearers kill-team this month due to time constraints, so I'll go ahead and vow them for next month. So, for this month I finished 10 Necron Warriors, 3 Scarab bases, 2 Heavy Destroyers, and a Terrax-pattern Termite Assault Drill (count-as). On to December!

[Brother Captain Arkley]

On the last stretch of my vow... Arms and Helmets left of the Bladeguard.

 

Then transfers, bases and varnish. I think I will end up in the 2 day grace period, but I should be finished.

[Cleon]

Well I'm not doing overly well this month, a nice Holiday, but I wasn't expecting Jetlag plus post travel lurgy to knock me out for another week, so have just got the Contemptor done within the calendar month.

 

 

Depending on when Grotsmasha calls the month closed I might get some of my carry over finished too, it's not far off, but I'm not making masses of progress during the week.

In a battle of large number of models this month, Dwango and Brother Captain Arkley's completions caught my eye, but in the end, it was Brother Argent's horde of Poxwalkers that have claimed my Favourite for November.

[Brother Argent]

Poxwalkers are done and will get them up tomorrow.  Unsure If I will make it with the other monsters but we will see.  Now I just need my damned Imperium magazines to show up.

[Lord_Ikka]

Aside from my 6-man Word Bearers kill-team (which I now need to repair because cats are denizens of Hell!), I will vow some more.

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of December five Inquisition Acolytes and a six-man Word Bearers kill-team (shown in last month's vow).

 

[Grotsmasha]

Here are my November Completions,

 

1st up a Scythe of the Emperor and Blood Angel marines, each a member of a pair of Kill Teams commission, the rest will be completed in December,

 

 

Next up some Aggressors, either Conquest or Imperium, none the less hoping to get to the other three soon enough,

 

 

Back to the Drukhari / Daemons / Necrons commission I've been slogging through since march, 20 more Daemonettes completed, still have 7 fiends, a character pair to do before I'm done,

 

commissioner added on some more terrain, and some 3d printed craters, 3 more craters, 2 more containers, a bunch more walls to go
