=] The 12 Months of Hobby 2022 [=

[Brother Argent]

So... this is awkward...  Only a few days from months end and I am just getting some before shots up...  Here is the before of the Assault Intercessors as well as the before of the Boxing Day Bash challenge, an ancient and a Lt.  (Note my first attempt at green stuff in a while giving the sarge a beard...)

I love it.

There can never be too much blood and gore!

Looking forward to painting that awesome model myself soonish next year....

[Valkia the Bloody]

Shortly before the end of the year, I finally managed to finish up my Kroot Kill Team of the "Cunning Cockatiels".

Sadly, too much stuff is happening in the real world- for one, busy at work, and then there is the issue of the landlords renovating the downstairs flat and having cut power twice already and now I also happen to be without internet (sending this from my phone.....) because in an act of wanton destruction the landlords not only smashed down a wall, but also destroyed the main phone and internet lines. What they lack in DIY skill, they surely make up with enthusiasm, I can tell you.

Anyways, here is my Kroot Team.

Not sure I will be able to finish up anything else this year, however, even if all that lovely terrain is staring at me accusingly.

Might as well throw this in here. For December I vow my Boxing Day Bash model, a converted Enginseer for my 7th Rhûnish Dragoons project.

Quick update. The gap between the backpack and the models back was not neat, so I used some greenstuff to fill out the space. It has cured over night, hopefully sufficiently.

Also as we are approaching the end of another 12 months of hobby thank you once again to Grotsmasha for runing this, without it far fewer models would get painted. A Hip Hip Hooray for Grotsamsha.

 

Also looking back I have to say my plodding along goal for the year did not get very far, I painted all of two little AI planes, with the remaining thirty odd planes having mostly sat in a box.  

[Brother Carpenter]

I, Brother Carpenter , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of december pledge to complete 1 Bayard's Revenge by month's end.

[Grotsmasha]

I've yet to break the seal on mine, but really am hoping to get to it in 2023, rather than have it languish in my pile'o'shame.

[Brother Carpenter]

It's just one mini. What can go wrong 

[Lord_Ikka]

Definitely a big thank you to @Grotsmasha. I would not have nearly as many models painted as I have for the past two years if not for this challenge keeping me on track. I'll be getting pics of my total painted minis and will post them up later tonight- not going to be painting any more this year as I have much to build from my Xmas gifts. 

[Dwango]

 

Sorry for the multiple pledging Grot, I've done a lot more than I expected this month. I will do a summary when I complete everything. 

 

Here's my Boxing Day Bash entry;

Truly a good year for painting for me. Of course, after I put all my models away after getting the pictures I realized that my Orlock ganger wasn't in the picture...sigh. Still, a good year and I'm looking forward to next year- got some good gifts that should make my hobbying continue unabated. Can't wait to see everyone else completed pics, see you next year!

Looking good mate.  I had a quick review of what I did this year and its sadly a lot less on what I had hoped. Going to make a last minute push to complete this year on a good note and then get a full tally down.

 

Speaking of that final push:

 

Before of the containers... my desk is starting to get crowded...

[Boc]

Warp Talons complete! Looking like the war dog won't be until January, but at least I start the year with a stubborn lol

So I did finish the enginseer, but the turquoise was a bit washed out compared to real life so I was hoping to take some better pictures in daylight, but that hasn’t really worked, it might just be my camera getting old. Any way here he is.

 

Overall he turned out ok and as a colour scheme test he was a success, I can picture the other converted guardsmen following the same principles.   

 

  

 

[Brother Argent]

So please excuse the image dump, as well as usual quality issues but here is how I am travelling with my December vow so far:

 

1x Myphitic Blightcrawler (From November)

 

1x Foetid Bloatdrone (From November)

 

Then onto December's Imperium stuff:

 

5x Assault Intercessors

 

1x Munititorum Container with accompanying annoying little boxes (Emperor knows I am already sick of these...)

 

Flayed Ones TBA

 

Finally my two models from the Boxing Day Bash:

 

1x Primaris Lt:

 

1x Primaris Ancient

 

I haven't got the Flayed Ones even off their sprues at the moment but hoping to get onto that shortly.  I may just scrape in before years end (I have just over 24hrs) and if not then easily by the event cut off).

 

Amusingly enough I invested somewhat with some money I received for Christmas on some models for my Interdictors, some of the models I had been holding off on hoping they were in the extra Imperium issues.  But as that had now been revealed and they aren't I decided to go pick up some Heavy Intercessors, Eradicators and Bladeguard.  I then arrived home to find my next Imperium delivery waiting for me.  As I am going to take up the hobby lead weight challenge next year as well as the 12 Months of Hobby if Grot is running it again I guess January is going to be a busy month, if I can stick to it.  Doesn't help that this month for me, due to finance issues, is now a month with all four issues have models...

 

Now, to attempt to get some Flayed Ones sorted...

Prepare to curse the man that designed that kit- they are the worst fiddly models in the somewhat-fiddly Necron range.

... Yes... oh so much yes...

 

Three hours.  Three God-Emperor forsaken hours to assemble five models.  And while they are awesome models and Flayed Ones have always been my favourite Necrons the 12:15 AM finish... well that wasn't great.  Now I feel obligated to finish them by midnight tonight.

Yup- they are very much a pain to build. Kinda makes me want to grab some old Finecast ones if I want any more, which is sad because the new models do look good, but man I hate whoever designed the new Necrons' arms/chestplate design. My fat fingers have a hell of a time getting everything in place.

Amen to that

[Brother Argent]

Well it may be 10 minutes past midnight (Happy New Year Brother and Sisters!!!)  but I got there.

 

Sorry its a dark and not the best focussed image but it will do for now.  And that, my friends, is the end of 2022 Hobbying.  I will get a group shot of everything up soon, as well as update my own WIP thread.

 

Heres to 2023
