=] 12 Months of Hobby 2024 [=

[Firedrake Cordova]

I like the Inquisitor  Is it a kitbash, or an official kit? (I can't remember)

[Cleon]

She's an official kit, just on a different base

I declare my vow finished. In the end it was a lot of fun painting this guy, but I need to get away from armor for a bit as it's also stressful for me to paint such huge models. 

 

 

[Grotsmasha]

The 2023 Summary is *FINALLY* up....

[Brother Argent]

I am not dead...  Well, I am dead inside but that is a different thing entirely.  One Outrider completed:

 

The orange isn't that dirty looking in real life.  I have always loved space marine bikes but, for some reason, the Outriders just don't do it for me like the old bikers.  I need to add transfers but thinking I will do that when I complete the squad.  

 

I have come to a realization that part of the reason I am loosing interest in painting is that my skills have seemed to stagnate.  If anything I am getting worse.  I don't know if its because I am producing more and more of the same army and so I am not pushing myself or what.  I have always struggled with edge highlights and I think that is a big part of my problem too.  Anyway I'll keep pushing through and maybe, somewhere along the way, re-find my passions.  At least I am painting again so that is a win.

 

Anyway, today is ANZAC Day.  The day we commemorate the Australian and New Zealand soldiers whom have given their lives in conflicts throughout the world.  Most notable during the Great Wars.  Thus it feels appropriate to me to pledge for the month of April a squad of my New Eden Rifles, a regiment based (loosely) of the ANZAC's.

 

I, Brother Argent, vow to paint for the Month of April 10x Guardsmen of the New Eden Rifles in honour of the soldiers whom gave their lives under the Australian Flag.

 

[Trokair]

Managed to do one of the two over the last few evening, overall happy with how she turned out, though with hindsight the yellow inner cloth might have been better as something more neutral.

Wait, what? Is that a Templar.... Psyker? I think someone has something to confess.

It's all fine, he's sanctioned by the not-Emperor who joined my Crusade. And since this powerful and not at all suspicious warp entity said it's okay, who is but a humble Marshal to question His word!

 

... rr I just want to have the option to use a psyker when I don't feel like using BT rules or playing a game of OPR.

[Tyriks]

Gonna try to bang this out really quick. I vow to paint this Archon by the end of the month:

Forgot to take a full before picture, but oh well. I am not fond of this model but I need an archon painted for my combat patrol and the others I have arent primed.

[Kennyjapan]

I've had my April vow basically complete now pretty much since the beginning of the month expect for the backpack and base. I really haven't felt the urge to paint them and I think i've been dragging my heels because its a faff to set things up to just paint a backpack. So, my thinking is if I start another vow I have more reason to get stuff out and paint.. maybe.... hopefully... 

 

So! I, Kennyjapan, vow to to complete 1 more Invictarii (InvictariiLeader/Sergeant/SeniorBodyguard) and 1 Imperial Guard Sgt by the end of April

 

Spoiler

 

[Tyriks]

Finished my Archon. The base is still wet (and the texture still a bit soft) so no grass yet, but that will just take a second. I didn't want to add any teal parts because that wouod take longer than I feel this model warrants so I did his horns differently to make him more noticeable among the squad. I'll be glad to get a better conversion primed and painted, though, I keep noticing more I wish I had done differently when I built him.

 

 

For May I'll probably have to do some more Raiders and Venoms, but I think I'll try to add a pain engine if I can. I need to plan ahead a little more this time!

[Dwango]

I'm nearly done with the necrons and grey knights but I thought I'd post my dark angel completions now.

All of this looks awesome, but I especially love that Repulsor. Great work!

Cheers @Tyriks it was really fun to do. My kids helped too, with that and the dread. 

 

The grey knights are done, apart from the base rim which I've just noticed. Crons next. 

[andes]

I'm not going to complete my pledge this month. The combination of being busy at work, some health-related things (getting old sucks, I recommend against it) and Planet Crafter sealed my fate. At least I finished the Kroot test model to file as a completion... I'll carry the rest forward.

[Paladin777]

Vow complete!

How'd you do that yellow? I really like it!

[gaurdian31]

Well I completed the Master of Possession for this month. A lot of not great RL butted into this month and didn't leave me with much time or energy to do hobby stuff. I do like how he came out though. I'll be vowing the rest of this months stuff for May and will hopefully get them all completed, but we will see as RL has become rather hectic.

I did a Khorne Red basecoat on the entire models, drybrushed on Evil Sunz Scarlet to taste, then drybrushed Fire Dragon Orange, and lastly drybrushed the heads with Averland Sunset to get them that Yellow color.

Dry brushing is a blessing...

[lokkorex]

Another Vow Finished!

The wash on the base hasn't dried yet, that's why it looks a bit glossy.

[Lord_Ikka]

Time up for more of my ever-increasing pile of Necromunda stuff (just bought a Van Saar gang...). 

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of May the following: six Orlock gangers, two cyber-mastiffs, and two hired guns.
