=] 12 Months of Hobby 2023 [=

[Madao]

I, Madao, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete three Crisis Battlesuits, one Broadside Battlesuit and Sanctus Administratum terrain by the month's end for the Greater Good.

[Lord_Ikka]

Vow finished - 10 Infiltrators, 3 Eliminators, 3 Aggressors, and 3 Outriders. I'll be thinking on what to vow next, as I have quite a bit pledge in the Call to Arms event.

Pics below.

Plodding Along Update 3/10

 

Three Genestealers complete

11/24 models complete

and the brood so far:

 

 

[Rogue]

Those genestealers are absolute contortionists. They look good though :)

 

I've finished my Locus:

 

 

 

Next up, the rock-grinder blade for the front of my second Goliath. Not interesting, not even a vow, just one of those things that needs doing.

[Dwango]

Bit of a WIP for my Munda vehicle and part of my call to arms vow (the conversion challenge). 

It's a sump beast hunter, harpoon, flamer, grabber and chopping block. Plus various tentacles under processing.

[Lord_Ikka]

2nd vow for the month ready. I, Lord_Ikka,  vow to paint for the month of July the following: 1 LT in Phobos armor (far right of pic), 3 Suppressors, 5 Terminators, a teleport homer, a Primaris Ancient, and a Chaplain in Terminator Armor.

I, Brother Captain Arkley, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete Daemon Primarch Perturabo by month's end.

 

 

 

Daemon Primarch Perturabo is complete, and even better he has a typical dead Imperial Fist on his base. :)

As I had the camera out anyway - progress update...
June's carry over Custodes Done along with the ZM walls from my July target (Columns are lagging behind:

I, Brother Captain Arkley, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete 5 Ultramarines Terminators by month's end.

 

 

[Brother Christopher]

After a month's break (wow, basically two months), I think I'm ready to get back into all this messy hobby-stuff with my unfinished Terminators, I think, from May.

 

I, Brother Christopher, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete 2 Terminator characters (1 Ancient and 1 Castellan) by month's end.

The Argent Forge has been rekindled and the flame burning a little brighter.  In a week I have painted more then what I have in some previous months.  Firstly I completed my Thermic Plasma Conduits:

Before getting a start on Leviathan.  Excuse the washed out photo.  Taking photos by lamp light doesn't work over well.  Will try to get something by natural light to show the true colours.  So without further adieu

 

So, for my next trick I shall vow for the rest of the Month:

3x Vonn Ryans Leapers

3x Ripper Swarms

1x Winged Tyranid Prime

 

 

@GrotsmashaI noticed you don't have my Bladeguard of my Plodding Along vow completed.  I will need to review my vow if I can as what constitutes 2000pts is now different.  I will keep it as close as possible but will see how I go.

[Lord_Ikka]

Vow finished- 5 Terminators with a teleport homer, 3 Suppressors, a Phobos LT, and a Chaplain in Terminator Armor.

 

 

I will also vow again (sorry Grot, I'll total up everything in my final post thos month). I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of July the following- 10 Infernus marines, 5 Sternguard, a Captain in Terminator Armour, and a Ballistus Dreadnought. 

 

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

vow finally complete!

With the Sergeant

 

and then of course the whole vow

Thirty six models all told, I believe. Took far longer than it should have but we are indeed done. 
 

now to figure out what my next vow should be so everything lines up properly with all the right events….

[jkoczan42]

@Grotsmasha I didn't notice this earlier, I meant the Leviathan seige dread, not a Ballitus dread. Should have made that clearer in my post.

[Majkhel]

despite holiday period I did something - 1 Terminator ready to rumble 

 

Spoiler

@andes I LOVE the hues and saturation on those little jerks! 
@Dwango ummmm, this is such a good kitbash! Loving where this is going! 

[andes]

Thanks @Majkhel, the grotz are so characterful they almost paint themselves!

 

For August, I'm just going to piggyback my second Call to Arms pledge: an Ork Stompa. I'm also hoping to finish a very, very old incomplete pledge of mine... fingers crossed.

 

 

[Dwango]

Cheers @Majkhel ! 

 

It's currently sat undercoated on my desk while I figure out how I'm going to paint it. Luckily I have a ton on Eldar stuff to keep me occupied. It's going to be suitably grimy and damaged. 

 

Nice work on the termi! Suitable crisp and battle damaged paint job I've come expect from you now

[Dwango]

This month's painting completions. 3 hornets, waveserpent, 10 reapers, 5 avengers, 4 warlocks, 3 farseers, bonesinger, spiritseer, 2 autarchs and maugan Ra. 

 

Few more to do before my call to arms vow is completed though.

[Trokair]

Those Hornets are looking real nice. One of these years I’ll build and paint the ones in the cupboard.

 

10 Votann finished and July oath complete. Only 20 left to go for the call to arms.

[Brother Argent]

My second vow for July is complete:

I also played my first game of Tenth.  Did the combat patrol sized forces from Leviathan.  Must say the Prime didn't deserve his paint job.  The Leapers certainly did.  I wish these photos showed off the green carapace more.  Looks a lot better in person.

 

Anyway the other models whom did well was the Terminators (pulping almost my entire Tyranid swarm) and the Librarian.  So on that note for a mad final attempt to make some progress on my huge plan/model goal I will vow one last model for July, A Terminator Librarian...

 

Wish me luck.  This is one mad detailed model.

[Cleon]

Well that's as much as I'm getting done in July, everything vowed done apart from the thousand sons, who are really hurting from a combination of being really fiddly, the index sucking all of the interest out of them and me getting distracted....

 

EC Rhino

 

Blood Angels:

 

And the ZM Columns:

 

Then my 'excuse' for not completing the Thousand sons - some AT Knights getting painted up as tester with LI on the way, I just need to find my tiny decals:

 

And some experimental Tyranids, Not overly happy with how they look at the moment, hopefully some drybrushing over the purple and black to help pull some details back out of the darkness and then properly basing them up will improve them... I had forgotten how easily paint rubs off the wraithbone undercoat, so I'll need to re-do the base rims too.:

Love if you could get the flame pattern on the flamer. 

If I vow a Wolf Guard with a flamer, I'll try to replicate the classic pattern. 

 

Good luck with the eyes.

Thank you!

 

My vow is done.

[jkoczan42]

So I got all the infantry I had planned completed (5 termies, 5 infernus, 5 HH figures) and one of the characters (TDA Librarian) completed, but sadly my TDA Captain and Siege Dread are going to have to be pushed off to next month. With that in mind:

 

I pledge:

one TDA Captain

one leviathan siege dread

one AT reaver titan

5 despoilers

for the month August.

 

[Ace Debonair]

Oops I did it again

Did not post my vow

Got lost in the paint

And space dwarves, space dwarves

 

Yep, that's twice. I vowed for the Call to Arms and totally forgot to vow my two stumpy bois in this thread. 

 

Pics of the completed Kin I forgot to vow in the spoiler below; expect a jumping guy with grenades and a surly lad with some missiles.

 

 A leaping Grenadier (Might as well use that fancy kill team leg-on-rock bit for something) and a Gunner rocking the Hurricane Salvager carrying the L7 Missile Launcher. 

 

 A back shot featuring some really drunk-looking hazatd stripes

 



 

And another shot, showing off the fact hazard stripes are hard work. This took three tries and I eventually just had to go "good enough" and move on.
