=] 12 Months of Hobby 2023 [=

[Skidman]

Well my July vow is complete 10 legionaries for the Iron warriors 

 

for the money of august I vow to paint 2 Medusa siege tanks

 

Here is the full shot

[Cleon]

My vow for August is my second Call to arms pledge (Captian, Librarian, terminators and last 5 Infernus from Leviathan and 6 ZM doors) along with 10 Emperors Children Volkite heavy support marines and a power armoured praetor/consul and getting my 'plodding along' knight finished. 

 

[Lork]

Vow complete

 

 

[Brother Argent]

And it might be part of the way through the 1st of the Month for me but close enough to still count right...?

 

 

One terminator Librarian.  Damn I had some issues with paint wearing off this guy as I painted him.  But I got there in the end.  I love the blue I got going with these guys, simple, easy and looks quite effective.  Unfortunately the zoomed in photos show some mistakes better then my tired eyes (the grey on his foot and the green on the black power cabling) but he will work for now.  I wanted to really push myself with the Leviathan models with battle damage etc but felt that with the ornate armour it wouldn't really work.

 

Anyway on to the August vows.  Although I should be pushing onto my next batch of Imperium I will instead go some more of the Leviathan stuff I hoped to do last month,

 

I, Brother Argent, vow to complete for the month of August 5x Infernus Marines:

 

Can't say I am hugely inspired by these guys but with ten in the box, I better start them sooner rather then later.  At least the Sarge looks pretty cool.  They did horribly in my first game of 10th the other day though, so hopefully a coat of paint might improve their performance.

But here he is in all his glory

 

Edit: This shouldn't be overtime, finished on the 31st

[Lord_Ikka]

Over time July vow done- 1 Captain in Terminator Armour, 5 Sternguard, 10 Infernus marines l, and a Ballistus Dreadnought. 

 

I'll tally up my stuff for July and edit this post later tonight Grot.

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Grot, for the month of July I completed the following models- 3-man Aggressor squad, 10-man Infiltrator squad, 3-man Outrider squad, 3-man Suppressor squad, 3-man Eliminator squad, 5-man Terminator squad, 5-man Sternguard Veterans squad, 10-man Infernus Squad, 1 teleport homer, 1 Phobos LT, 1 Primaris Ancient, 1 Captain in terminator armor, 1 Chaplain in Terminator Armor.

 

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of August, 1 Librarian in Terminator Armor, 1 Primaris Librarian, 1 Apothecary Biologis, and 1 Lieutenant with combi-weapon. 

Edited August 3, 2023 by Lord_Ikka
Forgot my Chaplain in termie armor...

[Brother Christopher]

1 (one) model completed out of my 2-model July vow. Quite pathetic :D Unfortunately, I failed to complete the other pledged model by 1-2 sittings.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

All the more respect to all of you who are able to paint entire squads or — what feels like — entire armies over a month. I respect, admire and envy that!

Edited August 3, 2023 by Brother Christopher

[Rogue]

That's not pathetic. You finished a model, and to a really good standard. 

 

Some people are able to knock out dozens of models in a month. Others, like you and me, can't - for whatever reason. But this is a challenge, not a competition. You've met the challenge this month (which is, at heart, to complete at least one model). You may feel that you could've done more, but running out of time is not a failure, just a temporary delay.

[Brother Christopher]

@Rogue Thanks mate! You're very kind! But please, allow me for some self-depreciation/flagellation here After all, it's very in character in the context of 40k.

[Jolemai]

July complete

 

5 Terminators complete

Vow complete

[Jolemai]

 August

 

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete 1x Predator Annihilator by month's end.

 

 

Spoiler

 

To do:

• Fix and tidy
• Maybe source a gunner for the top hatch
• Shades, highlights, details

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

@Brother Christopher, I'm going to agree with @Rogue here- I can pump out a lot of models per month, but they are very much "tabletop" standard, i.e.- good from 3 feet away. I really respect those that can paint really excellent models. I don't have the skills, time, or inclination to do that, my enjoyment is in the modeling and playing while painting is pretty much a chore. I can paint fast, and that is a sort of skill, but to me those that can create very detailed and meticulously painted models are truly skilled. Keep up the good work!

[gaurdian31]

@Brother Christopher I agree with everyone, you did a great job! Heck you even painted eyes, something I struggle greatly with. Honestly everyone who posts on this thread and entire board really does great work! I've been playing since around 2001 and probably only have 1 small army full painted. Anyway, this month I'm vowing 3 models, 1 Dark Apostle and 2 Dark Disciples. Working on some legionaries in the background as well, but they are a bit further along.

Spoiler

 

[Brother Christopher]

I'm humbled by your responses, I truly am. I'll take note of that and won't repeat such frivolous nonsense ;)

 

Three times the charm with my Standard Bearer. It feels a bit silly to pledge a 80% ready model but it's not against the rules, so...

 

I, Brother Christopher , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete a Black Templars TDA Standard Bearer by month's end, nay, by week's end. So help me Dorn!

 

Spoiler

 

Edited August 3, 2023 by Brother Christopher

[Brother Christopher]

I feel silly but I mentioned that was one-two sittings short of finishing my Standard Bearer and I weren't wrong. Here's the completed model. Sorry for the mess, but I REALLY wanted to finish him to be able to move onto new things with a clear conscience.

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

[Madao]

My July vow is partially complete. I have finished the Battlesuits long time ago, but then my son has brought some Nurgle's Blessing from nursery and I had no mood for hobby, so Sanctum Administratus is not finished yet and no pics were sent on time - treat this completion as you think is appropriate @Grotsmasha. Nevertheless, I will try to get back to painting somewhere in August and finish the terrain (along with the rest of my Call to Arms pledge).

Spoiler

 

Some spare weaponry for my Tau (everything is magnetized)

 

And the current state of Sanctum Administratus
