I, Boc, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete...oh sweet khorne, I have no idea where to even start this year.

 

Aaaahhhhhhh how is it already almost January?!?!?!

 

I'll do the War Dog Stalker I didn't finish in December as well as 5 Havocs

 

By the end of January.

 

 

Yeah... by the end of January...

I really don't understand why you are being so difficult :P @LameBeard

I did laugh a lot at that one. I just came to turn off the computer before bed and saw it. Just got midnight here. Happy New Year everyone!

I was just trying to be subtle.

Hi  @Grotsmasha, thanks for running the challenge again. Perhaps you can do a little randomizer for me. I would like to pledge a Badab War Marine.  D3 for Row, D6 for Column.  I really don't see how I can do Tiger Claws, so if that comes up, you can choose a chapter you like instead.  For the other tricky ones I reserve the right to make it Deathwatch or a Heresy marine of the parent legion with heraldry that could be the inspiration for the later founding.  Hence I'll choose the model only after I know the chapter. Cheers!

I, Kazian , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete { my Ork CP for our 2023 Crusade} by month's end.

 

Crusade army is as follows: Ork Warboss in Mega Armor, 10 boyz, 1 deff dread. There's more I need to complete for the crusade, but I'm not brave enough to make bigger promises:sweat:IMG_3431.thumb.jpg.fcbe6732347ddfc9bec96f7b1419fac5.jpg

I, Rhavien, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete a stormspeeder hammerstrike by month's end.

 

Last year was a complete desaster in terms of hobby progress. I only managed to paint a single model, so let's start this one with something bigger...

It's a bit embarrassing, but could someone please tell me how I attach the picture to my signature? I can't find how where I can alter it and I also didn't find a thread about it either.

I, Blackwing530, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 6 Custodian Guard, 3 Aquilon Terminators, 1 Shield Captain, 1 Galatus Dread and 1 Achillus Dread by month's end.

 

My Plodding along vow will be to complete the Salamanders and Alpha Legion vehicles I have partially painted for 30k. 

 

I really hope to make some serious progress this year.

I want to try and get something done this year after not doing this last year and the year before quitting midway. The conundrum I have is I have five forces I have to make a start on:

 

Chaos Knights

Harlequins

Grey Knights

Ultramarines Horus Heresy 

Primaris Army (maybe White Consuls) 


Fancy rolling a D5 to see which one I make a start on @Grotsmasha? Then I’ll make a plodding along vow with pics.

ξ: Welcome to the theatre Beta.

β: Query. Why have you announced operations in this environment? This goes against established protocols for Violaceum Vulpecula.

ξ: A large contingent of unidentified space marines operating in an active combat zone would attract more attention than identification. Our operatives are already prepared to intercept and alter any records of concern. This cover gives us the ability to operate more freely, most especially regarding extracting the information we believe is held in the Gallowdark.

β: Acknowledged. Are operations proceeding?

ξ: We are establishing a defensive operation to establish a cover and give logistical support. You are requested to bring reactors online and procure equipment.

β: This plan is inefficient.

ξ: Efficiency is not the goal of this operation. We cannot abide the delay of scrutiny from the inquisition; this is the proper course. Comply.

β: Cogitating alternatives... Assessment is sound. Complying.

Whew, started this super early yesterday and got it done today -- quite the start to the New Year (and the advantage of code compile times measured in 30 minute segments). I was going to wait for the rest to finish but I saw that there was a badge for models done in a day so figured I'd post!

A slightly fun video version here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cm5ItYEI7oz/

I think I'm most proud of the liquid tanks on his back.

Next up is the reactor terrain, and the flayed ones getting finished up.

I saw the speedrun award so got to work on this guy today. Just still considering whether I want blood on the axe, but I'd call him done! Now to start work on the Deaf Dread.IMG_3439.thumb.jpg.563b493de85816669b6799ec5afe9f95.jpgIMG_3433.thumb.jpg.6098bb902323d8c7a294c54b1d4b378d.jpg

I, Axineton, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete three primed MKVI Tactical Marines of the Ultramarines by month's end.

 

Also I’m going to add the other seven that are still on sprue for the plodding/ plogging along vow.

You can count me in again. Last year saw me falling into a bit of a 'minimal commitment so I definitely hit the month-end deadline', which made sense given other things that were going on in real life. This year, I'm determined to rise above all that and challenge myself a bit more. To that end, January's vow:

I, Rogue, return to the Hobby Challenge once again, and vow to complete a Goliath Truck before month's end.

Okay so here is my first before pic of the Assault Intercessors.  Being the second lot from Imperium I tried to make them look different from the last five, mostly with arm swaps and a couple of head changes:

Hopefully the poses don't look too awkward.  The two on the outside are my two favourites.  Just a pity the one of the far left reminds me very much of the Sarge's pose...

Although it gave me a huge boost for my Eldar army last year, I never came back to the 2022 edition after the forum upgrade during the summer so I am determined to stay the course this year! 

 

For January, I vow to finish these 10 Astra Militarum Kasrkin

I'm getting way more painting time in this week than I was expecting and may add some more of my Imperium backlog to Jan. I'm particularly eyeing the Ruined Factorum and the Kataphron Destroyers. The alternative is to start on my Kill Team boxes, for the plodding along goal, but I think being "caught up" on Imperium might give some good feels.
