=] 12 Months of Hobby 2023 [=

[Grotsmasha]

@jkoczan42 Welcome back to the Challenge

[jkoczan42]

And my pledge is now assembled and still wet from priming.

[Trokair]

@Grotsmasha, I am amending my vow this month to also included these two little Ghost Warriors, an Executioner and an Assassin. With their 35^th birthday next month I thought they finally deserved some paint.

(...) 4 to go. Will carry the remainders over for April.

 

Need these for a game tomorrow so kind'a rushed through 'em. Pledge complete either way 

 

[Brother Argent]

So a week later I am able to get something up:

 

I give you the three Eradicators for last month, then this month and most importantly my Plodding Along Vow:

 

 

For models I was hugely looking forward to doing, they became painful and unenjoyable and, other then loosing my detail brush, I dont know why.  But they are done now.  At least the heat staining on their barrels turned out alright. (looks better in person)

 

As I am still waiting on my next Imperium delivery so I shall continue on my Plodding Along with continuing the month with three Bladeguard Veterans.

 

 

I have loved these models since they first came out and finally got some.  I have been agonizing over bits and poses as I love the sword wiping guy but intend on my sarge having a neovulkite pistol.  Good thing is my main opponent isnt a die hard WYSIWYG person.  I also wanted more with shields up but perhaps one day I will manage to secure the Indomitus guys, as well as that sweet Chaplain, and so that will cover that.  Until then, I am off to ORANGE

[mandaloriano]

First two test minis, for the Slaaneshi Renegades.

The nice thing about rushing through one pledge is it opens up the rest of the month for another! For the month of April, I pledge this choppy, killy Deff Dread.

 

[Boc]

I, Boc, for the month of April pledge to complete 2x War Dogs and 5x Possessed Chaos Marines.

First part of my vow is complete.

A bit different from my usual style. My friend @L82Dprinted him I painted it.

Back for February with a vow of 7 Plague Marines (well, 6 because the test model is finished)

 

Not sure what this even counts as any more as it was vowed back in February (!!), but my Plague Marines are now done:

[Lord_Ikka]

Going to add-on to my second vow- 1 additional privateer, 1 Ordos Xenos Inquisitor, and 4 chaos cultists. So total 2nd vow for April is - 4 privateers, 1 Ordos Xenos Inquisitor, 4 Chaos cultits, and 5 Mechanicus cultists. 

 

 

Oof, hopefully the completed pictures come out better...

For April I will vow one WE Jakhal as a further colour test, this time focusing on the skin.

Part one of Vow complete.  Skin will need a bit more tinkering for when I do the rest ofthe army, but the rest of the scheme I am happy with.

I got the favorite award?! Wow, I'm honored. And I'll pass it along to the other half as they're the ones who have the lead on painting that force. (It's why the Necrons have disappeared from my pledges, as they're back in school abroad)

 

Edit addendum: I see the March progress...

Stolid Fox - 1 Inquisitor, 1 Bike Captain, 5 Battle Sisters, 1 Seraphim, 1 Repentia Superior (Artificer, Seriously)

awww, did I miss out on Speed Demon this month? Dang! It was a pretty late start in the month so I get it.

 

Speaking of which, I guess I'd better make my April pledge!

For April we continue on the Sisters of Sakura force from the Imperium subscription, where I pledge to progress my sisters force. If possible I'll complete the remainder but at a minimum I shall paint the Penitent Engine and 3 Battle Sisters!

If I missed it, and you did a model in 24hrs or less, you earned it and I'll correct it

[gaurdian31]

For April I vow 1 Sister of Battle Cannoness.

[Grotsmasha]

@gaurdian31 I used to have that model and about 30+ other metal sisters, I miss those ladies....

[gaurdian31]

@Grotsmasha Yeah, I've had her for years and thought it was finally time to get her painted. I bought her for Dark Heresy when they first introduced the SOB as a player option. I had a friend who had a whole metal Sisters army as well and they were great sculpts. I mean I like the new plastics as well (have a ton of them and some more from the Imperium magazine) but the old metal ones feel like they have a bit more  character.

[Trokair]

These two cuties where a fun little project, part two of vow complete.

Well after at least 4 or 5 failed attempts to paint Roboute Guilliman I have finally finished him.

 

I know I have bought him at least 4 times and got rid of him, so many things about the model just put me off, the Sword was the prime reason then it was all the trim the belt buckle etc.

 

But I have finally got that monkey off my back. And I never need to paint him again :).

 

So can finally present

 

Roboute Guilliman - "The Avenging Son," "The Victorious," "The Master of Ultramar" and "The Blade of Unity,"

 

 

Just my Chapter Ancient left for this months vows.

I, Dwango , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of  April pledge to complete 5 Fire Dragons, 5 Warp Spiders and Feugan for Craftworld Mymeara by month's end.

I'm struggling a bit for hobby time at the moment so these may be spread over next month too. Let's see how I do.
