For the month of March, I pledge to complete Ufthak Blackhawk

 

He's done, and since he's going to see play today (and die immediately from New Model Syndrome, no doubt) he gets fancy completion pics on the table:

 

 

 

[Trokair]

Vow fulfilled, with a few hours to spare. A little rushed toward the end, and perhaps not the neatest I have done in a while, but good enough to put on the table at some point.

 

 

[Kennyjapan]

March done! Last Min obviously because we all know Last Min badges are the best and most important of all!

[Dwango]

Part of my vow is complete. No terrain this month and the grey knights will spill over to next month along with the tank and dread. Still busy mind

[ShortCircuit]

Done the pledge! Tried a blue wash on the left bot, but dont love it... might need to re base coat it at some point,but its certainly table ready!

[Mr. Oddity]

Just made it - really got to stop this developing habit of putting things off until the end. My Initiate is done and represents my first time drybrushing and freehanding a logo - while the Templar cross is simple, I'm quite pleased with how it came out. The process of scaling him up a bit also revealed some additional work I need to do on future Firstborn post-primer, but that's a future me problem to solve. The old monopose sculpts honestly still hold up pretty good!

[Mr. Oddity]

I, Mr. Oddity, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of April pledge to complete a Necron Combat Patrol (Overlord, 10 Warriors, 3 Scarabs, 3 Skorpekh, and Doomstalker) by month's end.

 

This will be doubling up as a very last minute entry to the March for March challenge, with a few conversions along the way. The goal in mind for my Necron force is to emulate a lot of the style and visuals of the early days of the army and their appearance in Dawn of War while making use of newer sculpts and datasheets. To that end my Skorpekhs will either be kitbashed or converted to match the old metal Wraiths, Scarabs will  be the really old metal models, and my Doomstalker will instead be a scratch-built "Doom Obelisk" that takes inspiration from the OG Monolith. A lot more ambitious than my previous two entries, but I believe I'm up to the challenge!

 

[Grotsmasha]

Completed the Chibi Commissar, it's been @ 99% since the first week of the month, just didn't get around to the eyes til today,

[Cleon]

So close, but yet so far.

 

Bunker, Emperors Children Despoilers and Breachers done, but the Inquisitor is still a way off and I'm done for painting time for the day. I guess I'll roll her over to next month and assemble a few more bits.

 

[TheArtilleryman]

OMG this was close! Stormsurge completed with about 40 mins to spare:

 

 

More photos:

 

 

I also painted a bunch of space marines and made some good progress on my plodding along vow.

 

Edit: added another close-up picture because my daughter told me my “colouring in” went out the lines at the front

[gaurdian31]

Finished my Possessed, hopefully in time for March completion.

Spoiler

 

For April I vow the rest of the models I didn't complete for the March for March challenge. 5 Terminators, a Master of Possession and a Master of Executions:

Ancient, Tank, dread and knights overspill from march.

Missed the ancient off..

[andes]

I, andes, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge for 2024 by pledging to complete the Kroot Hunting Pack army set by year's end.

In the month of April, I will plod along and complete 20 Kroot Carnivores.

 

[lokkorex]

Calling this one finished:

Black on the base hasnt dried yet, had a lot of fun figuring out some new paint recipes so hopefully the next two the talon will be finished a lot quicker.

 

Next up, a Consul-Armistos!

[Tyriks]

For April, I, Tyriks, pledge to finally finish these Incubi I started 3 years ago. Doing a slow grow campaign starting with the Combat Patrols so I actually need to make progress on these. For some reason I started every unit in the Patrol but never finished any.

[_Saracen]

Forgot to post my March pledge completion:

 

 

 

Hoped to get more terminators done but my recipe for armor just wasn't working how I wanted it and I decided to cut my losses and go with Brother Captain Stern

DA are as great as expected based on the early examples you shared. But these Necrons are even better. Great job.

Cheers bud. They're for a friend so I hope he'll be happy with them. 

[Brother Christopher]

I, Brother Christopher, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of April pledge to complete 3 Centurions, 2 Initiates, 1 Librarian and 1 Techmarine  by month's end.

 

[_Saracen]

I, _saracen, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of April pledge to complete 10 traitor guardsmen and a traitor command squad:

[TheArtilleryman]

OK so in the interest of keeping it fresh, my son has asked me if I will paint his apothecary from the Leviathan set. Seeing as the t’au are in my plodding along and I’ve had enough Sotek Green for the moment, I’ll add this one for this month’s single model.

 

I, TheArtilleryman, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of April pledge to complete one Apothecary Biologis by month’s end. 
 

[Rhavien]

Squad complete! Had a burst today and managed to finish them
