Sky Potato Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Going to attempt this with a Norn Emissary from the Tyranid Battlebox. I don’t get home from the in-laws until midday on the 27th, so that gives me 24 hours from then, correct? Grotsmasha 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Argent Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 So down for this. Will post a vow later this evening. Start of Boxing Day here now but I am out at a family event for most of the day. Not sure how I will go after the back injury but been able to have a few painting sessions of recent so why not, in true Brother Argent style, push myself. Now to decide what to do...

I think I might head to bed now after priming them and actually get paint on models tomorrow. At least they are quirky models and hopefully wont take long once I start after a sleep.

TheHyperion Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I assembled my miniature about a month ago and left it unpainted in anticipation of painting it today. Seems I forgot it's supposed to be unassembled. I vow one painted Tallyman by the end of the day.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch, vow to paint and base two Space Marine Heroees tactical marines for the glory of the Liber! I purchased these guys pre-assembled and primed them back when it was still warm, and I’m traveling tomorrow, but here we go anyway! I’ll succeed or I’ll fail, and either way there’ll be paint on the plastic. Allons-y!

Dwango Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Let's give this another go. I had planned to paint this mini for the boxing day bash back in January when I pledged a plodding along vow over in the 12 months of hobby. I forgot that I should have left it on the sprue to start. Nevermind. One inquisitor Grey Fax.

Halandaar Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Going to make a start on this guy, got a bit over-enthusiastic and clipped a couple of components before realising I needed to post a before photo! Hope it's still acceptable. Grotsmasha, Brother Captain Arkley, Firedrake Cordova and 2 others 4 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHyperion Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 This post was recognized by Grotsmasha! TheHyperion was awarded the badge 'Boxing Day Bash 2023 Completed' Vow completed for the tallyman. I had a lot of fun painting the nurgling and did a lot of color mixing to achieve the shade of green. Might do some touch ups. I have not come up with a basing scheme for the army despite it being my largest so far so I will not be partaking in that step. I really enjoyed this and the challenge. Wish the picture did the model a bit more justice. Looking forward to next year's bash!
