=] 12 Months of Hobby 2024 [=

[Brother Argent]

Looking good @Boc.  Looking like its going to be a good year with already a few models completed.  

 

Well its taken me all day (mostly because I hate painting more of them) but in the end I decided to drop back a step to the issue of the Imperium magazine I had skipped and so make for my second January vow: 

 

2x Ruined Manufactorum Ruins

 

And while not exactly plodding here is the before photo of my recovered Redemptor Dreadnought from my Plodding ALong vow.

Another model rescued from my Star Leopards and (as you can tell) from the Conquest magazine.  He is now undercoated and ready to help bring me sanity amoungst the horror of painting yet another set of ruins...

I, Brother Captain Arkley , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 5 Mk3 Marines by month's end, for the glory of the Emperor.

 

In an attempt to finally see what Legion I like painting the most I am doing all 20 (2 will be just black and dry brushed to look like statues)

 

So in order its the first 5 Legions so...

 

Dark Angels - (Dreadwing)

Redacted

Emperors Children

Iron Warriors

White Scars.

 

I have a feeling which out of the 20 I will enjoy the most but we shall see. (Not Ultramarines its too obvious :P)

 

Spoiler

 

 

I am considering the first 5 done. Its all a test to see what I enjoy. So basics  are all I did (White Scars can get lost lol not chance of painting an army). 

 

The Iron Warriors win this round. 3 more rounds to go.

 

 

EDIT - I am skipping to the end I know what 2 I would have narrowed it down to. 

 

Sons of Horus or Iron Warriors.

[Grotsmasha]

So, this is my original plans for Plodding Along;

On 1/1/2024 at 3:36 PM, Grotsmasha said:

Grotsmasha - Azrael, The Lion, Bayards Revenge, Ephrael Stern and Kyganil, Ghazghull Thraka and Makari, Kal Jericho and Scabbs, Imotekh the Stormlord, Marines Calgar and Victrix Guard, Operative Umbral-Six, Uriel Ventris, WH+ Cadia Unbroken,

 

BUT, I'm switching gears. I'm sure I've mentioned I'm really worjking on painting my Marvel United figures, and a way back in 2022 I decided I'd make a "GRIMDARK United" fan expansion, usin g Bandai's Chibi collections as a base. The models really, REALLY fit with Marvels ones. 

SO, I'm goint to repaint the 10 40k Chibi's I have as my Plodding Along, and for the two remaining months, I'll choose from my Commemorative / Named Characters.

 

Spoiler

Heroes

Guard Veteran

 

Commissar

 

Crimson Fist Captain

 

Blood Angel

 

Sororitas

AdMech

 

Anti-Heroes

Inquisitor

 

Grey Knight

 

Villain

Eversor Assassin

 

I created a Club for Grimdark United way back when to assist in the development of card decks for these guys, if that's something you're interested in, I'd love the company

Here we go again

 

For January I'm going to try and clear the decks of the models I didn't finish last year.

5 Palatine blades, Lucius, a Sicaran Venator and 2 Armiger Helverins

 

Also for plodding along I'll be looking at the LI starter box + any extras I manage to actually find in stock anywhere. I have no idea how long it will take me to paint models this scale, so I'm spraying a 'bunch' and will paint as the inspiration/concentration holds.

first wave:

2 Sicarans

3 Predators

4 Leman Russ

1 Rhino

The marine infantry from 1 sprue (minus dreadnoughts)

 

 

[Grotsmasha]

So I've gone back to Tariana Palos (completed for the Boxing Day Bash 2023), and finished up the base, and her face, here's how I left her on Boxing Day,

 

and with the base and face and some highlights on the gold completed,

Will make a plodding-along vow someday soon, consisting of my pile of unopened or half-built Predators, Sicarans and the Lord Of Iron himself!

[Lord_Ikka]

Going to slow down from last year, but have to start off with a fairly big vow as I'm starting a Cawdor gang for a campaign next.month. So...

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of January the following: 15 Cawdor gangers.

 

Don't know if I'll do a Plodding along this year, but we'll see.

[Grotsmasha]

Going to try something I saw on the youtube-a-verse,

[Brother Christopher]

[WrathOfTheLion]

I think it's time I finally get involved here :D

I, WrathOfTheLion, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 5 Sons of Horus Tactical Support Legionaries by month's end.

[Grotsmasha]

I'm planning on a better display box, but as a proof of concept, I'm pretty happy,

 

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

Alright, time to throw a few hats into the ring…

 

I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch of the Naculan Dynasty, embark upon the 12 Months of Hobby challenge, and declare a Plodding Along Vow to complete Szarekh the Sanguine, his challenger, Imotekh the Stormlord, and the Phaerons who shall serve the victor as Triarch. Brother Semper strike me down should I fail.

 

I have been working up the courage to start painting this beast for a WHILE, and I think this will finally be the time.

 

 

Imotekh is a good chunk of the way done, but I want him in the mix just so I have him available.

 

and for this month,

 

I, Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch of the Dawn Blades, embark upon the 12 Months of Hobby challenge and vow to complete three Eradicators before month's end, else the Primarch's shame fall upon me.

 

These guys have been in a state of 'mostly done' for a while, just need to get them DONE.

 

Looking forward to a productive year!

[ShortCircuit]

I, ShortCircuit, , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 1 Fellgor Ravager (Thank you GW for the free mini) by month's end.
