=] 12 Months of Hobby 2024 [=


Recommended Posts

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.

Wait, what? Is that a Templar.... Psyker? I think someone has some 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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
