Kennyjapan Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think i'll do some experimenting for August. with scouts relegated to elites in 40k and some unbuilt older termies lying about from a long dead project i'm eyeing up bringing them into my ultra's. So, for August, I pledge to complete 1 30k Ultramarine Scout and 1 30k Ultramarine Indomitus Terminator. No pics as I haven't even gotten past thinking about it, will edit/update when i've worked out what bits im going to use and where/how Lork, Sviar, Grotsmasha and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377020-12-months-of-hobby-2023/page/27/#findComment-5979156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhavien Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 @Grotsmasha would it be alright to use my call to arms vow also for 12 month's challenge, even when I've originally vowed it in July? I've not managed to paint anything till today, so they are still primed. gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377020-12-months-of-hobby-2023/page/27/#findComment-5979370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhavien Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Here we go! I, Rhavien, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete two gladiators by month's end.

LameBeard Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Late as usual, but vow complete! Wittering in this spoiler Spoiler So I just wanted to document the purple in case I ever do another. I tried airbrush Vallejo gunmetal from below graduated to aluminium from above, but the airbrush just wouldn’t do the gunmetal, so it was pretty much aluminium base. Then I tried to brush contrast purple over the top, but it looked really blotchy. So I wiped it off and tried a mix of blood letter and Army Painter Blue tone. But that was more ‘plum’ than purple. So then I tried airbrushing a Vallejo red/blue mix thinned down but that didn’t work either. so then I effectively re-base coated with a mix of Vallejo red/blue/aluminium and a little pale blue because it was looking dark. Then washed it with a brush with the blood letter/blue tone plum mix with some further purple contrast mixed in. finally a few edge highlights, aluminium with a little citadel purple. It’s not really as rich as I envisaged to begin with and is still very dark but it will do. More pics in this one Spoiler Haven’t decided on which shoulder pad combo. Legion symbol white on purple (old-school style with a raven wing decal) or gold on white (chaos decal overpainted with gold)?

Kennyjapan Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Progress update I'll probably never use a standard bolter armed scout, but he's an old test mini anyway so its perfect for what I want, and the Termi's shield is not his (he's just borrowing it for posing) so he'll be complete without one as I don't have any spare Invictarii shields yet Grotsmasha, gaurdian31 and Majkhel 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377020-12-months-of-hobby-2023/page/27/#findComment-5979603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Carpenter Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Got the skitarii undercoated with leadbelcher spray. Finally a dry day.

LameBeard Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 @Grotsmasha please can you randomise me another Heresy Legion (I feel like either this makes me finish a squad I have in progress or I can start to build up a ‘March of the Legions’). Inspired by Darren Latham and @Jolemai with his beautiful terminators, I might try to find a 90s marine as well. (I say “and” but do we ever see them in the same place at the same time?)

Rogue Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Those are some nice terminators, Arkley - very crisp. Here's my completion for August. The ridgerunner isn't part of the vow, but the spotter is. Jackal parts give a little extra variety to neophytes, I'm finding.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Just now, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch said: I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch, heed the Call to Arms for the Imperium and pledge to paint seven infantry (7x1), a heavy weapons team (1x2), and four characters (4x5) for a total of twenty-nine points for the Glory of the Adeptus Astartes on or before September 30, 2023, or bear the badge of failure til year's end. Alright, I've been meaning to make this vow for a bit but have been away and/or not able to get to the painting table. Included in that vow are two old metal chaplains (one of whom I've magnetized for both Jump operations and on-foot ops), and I may even toss in another chaplain I got second-hand but don't want to fully strip and repaint as a bonus non-scoring model. There's only one complicated paint scheme in this mix, so hopefully it goes smoothly. copying my Imperium Stronghold vow over here for the month of August. Seven infantry, a HWT, and 4 chaplaincy dudes.

Brother Argent Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 So my progress has been painfully slow, as I try to tackle new techniques and ways to add some detail to my marines, to the point of I am seriously beginning to doubt if I will even make all my Call to Arms vows by end of next month, not the end of this as I had hoped. I have received my next Imperium drop so I have at least got all the models now and can start to divide and conquer on a monthly/weekly basis but things are looking grim. In an attempt to keep some sort of forward momentum I would like to add to my vow for this month: 1x Terminator Captain, 5x Terminators (forgot the Teleport homer so I guess I will tackle that later) and 5x Barbgaunts I will get a revised Plodding Along vow up shortly too as I imagine these Terminators will be part of my new 2000pts for 10th. Keep up the good work everyone. I am off to deal with techniques and things I haven't tried for nearly 15 or more years... transfers...

Brother Carpenter Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Good luck with the transfers. Top tip: 1 gloss varnish 2 micro sol on spot of transfer application ( the blue bottle) 3 use tissue to dab transfer dry and eliminate air bubbles 4 new coat of gloss over dry transfer 5 matte varnish over entire model. I've gone about 30 years without micro sol and set, but what wasted years have those been. Also with old transfers ( like 3 & 4 th ed transfer sheets it really helps) Edited August 14, 2023 by Brother Carpenter Firedrake Cordova and gaurdian31 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377020-12-months-of-hobby-2023/page/27/#findComment-5981217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I sadly have to sit out August, too much to do elswhere.
