This is not going to plan.  But when do things....  

 

I, Brother Argent, a week after I had hoped to finish them, vow to complete another 5x Skitarii Rangers by months end.

I am just hitting another wall it seems...  Still I hope to push through.

 

Keep up the good work everyone.

Joining late, but joining nevertheless!
I'm now deep in painting other things, but still want to chug at least one Blood Angel a month so here it goes:
 

I, Majkhel of the Blood Angels, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of February pledge to complete 1 Bladeguard Veteran for the glory of the Angel by month's end.

How are those AdMech going, Brother Argent? I hope the mojo is with you.

 

Here's my February completion:

It's my second, with a third coming later in the year to round out the unit. But before that happens, some of these:

I, Rogue, vow to complete 4 Atalan Jackals by the end of March.

Hello everyone!!!!! I'm back after a three year hiatus. Hand surgery due to an accident, a baby, a lot of work due to the pandemic, etc. Life things.

 

These events, like the old ETL, always helped me complete armies. Thanks to these events I was able to complete my Blood Angels and Khorne Daemonkin armys. The reality that these years I couldn't paint much and I really missed it. At last I was able to start to accommodate the things of life, and I have returned to painting.

 

That's why.....
 
I, Mandaloriano, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of February pledge to complete 5 Striking Scorpions for the Craftworld of Iyanden by month's end.

 

My plan for this year is to complete an Eldar army using old metal miniatures, nothing plastic except tanks and motorbikes. And another army of Renegades and Heretics of Slaanesh. 

 

With my group of friends we continue to play the seventh edition of 40k, so the armies and miniatures will be consistent with that edition. We'll see how the plan turns out.

In the month of February comes a major deployment and rising threats!

- 1.5 Manufactorum Ruins ( 0.5✎ 1 ✓ )

- Plasma Conduits

Being opposed by:
- A Necron Overlord
- His squad of supporting 10 Warriors and 3 Scarab Swarms

All while the Inquisition has dispatched the Sisters of Battle to investigate:
- 1x Canoness
- 3x Battle Sisters
- 2x Seraphim
- 1x Sister Repentia
- 1x Arco-flagellant

Wanted to give a bit of an update as we head into the final week of Feb. I think the Terminators will get done which leaves, more or less, the terrain, necrons, and sisters.

The sisters I will definitely need to modify my 'definition of done' as I want to do some basing on them that I don't have the supplies for yet so they may not end up completely finished until I take the time to get my 3d printer setup and figure out how to get good results out of it. The ruins and plasma I think I can make solid work at but might not end up finished either. Finally the necrons are a bit of a crapshoot as they're my partners part of the pledge and they have been picking up a lot of work hours and haven't spent much time painting.

 

Still, 15 models and counting already done by me thus far, my partner finishing their Spider to boot, feels like a good month even if I may have ended up too greedy. I'll still make my best efforts though, but a last minute or overtime badge seems a best case scenario at this point.

The time it will take to dial in your printer will save said time a 1000 times over in avoided print fails, and cannot stress how  much time, and frustration this will save you, not to mention a noticeable quality bump :thumbsup:

Just finished my vow for February.

Sadly, I was too distracted in building newly acquired stuff (I did visit Forgeworld, after all!) to get much more painted.

But here they are, my Night Lord Raptors.

 

Raptors1.jpg.4e09b32706aa51a447c4a7cdc7854357.jpg

 

I also painted up a Forgeworld Legion Moritat.

He was originally also planned for my Night Lord army, but then I realized he did not fit in with the rest of the army, neither visually nor narratively nor tactically. So he is now part of my loyalist Thousand Sons army.

I am also going to make a new vow for March-

I think I need a change of pace, so for March, I am going for something BIG.

I, Valkia the blood, pledge to paint one Chaos Forgefiend for the month of March.

 

(not sure how distracted I will be and if I manage to get something else painted up....)

You got this! I've still got 8 Sisters and some terrain on my pledge and I'm pushing through, so I know you can get this Forge Master ready to honor his equipment's machine spirit by properly applying surface light reflection materials in the proper wavelength response!

Vow complete along with another character from my plodding along vow. Yvraine this time. 

 

 

I, Dwango, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge , for the month of March pledge to complete 5 Medusa crew, a storm eagle and a fire raptor for the heresy era Dark Angels by month's end. 
I may not finish either flyer this month as baby No. 3 is imminent but the infantry should be easy enough to complete.

Vow done! Might need to sort out my painting time management when a 10man guard squad takes longer than a 10man Tac squad :facepalm:.

For March, I had a few things that I was considering doing but couldn't make up my mind, so I gave the choice over to a random roll.

The outcome of which = x3j7GsR.png

 

So, I Kennyjapan, for March pledge to complete 1 HH Ultramarine Chaplain and 1 HH Ultra Master of Signals, by month's end. (Chaplain is half painted - MoS needs full repaint from old scheme)

 

Its late and I don't have any photo's to hand so will edit this post later with some start point photo's hopefully tomorrow

EDIT: start point photo added

As the year progresses the Badges will upgrade to Bronze the 3rd time they're earnt, Silver the 6th they're earnt, Gold the 9th time they are earnt, and for those who a particular badge for all 12 Months, a Platinum Badge will await them at year's end.

Once more, February saw a plentiful selection of outstanding models worthy of claiming my pick for this month's Favourite, in the end though, it was

Stolid Fox's eye-catching Necron Scheme that has claimed February's Favourite Badge.
