=] 12 Months of Hobby 2025 [=

[Lord_Ikka]

I've got some non-board minis to finish out the month of July (Trench Crusade that I'm finally getting around to), so I'll go ahead and vow for August so I don't forget. Going to try to get all my SM Call to Arms models done in a month.

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of August the following: Roboute Gulliman, Captain Ventris, 2 Tacticus Captains, 3 Company Heroes members, 4 Victrix/Bladeguard members, 5 Sternguard Veterans.

[Grotsmasha]

All that panic over nothing, I had a solid session on Sunday and Monday bringing Brother Bethor to completion, 

 

this is where I started on Sunday,

 

and after this mornings efforts,

[Bouargh]

I, bouargh, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete 2 Warwalkers and 5 WarpSpiders (plus their token) in the CtA25 challenge by month's end (sprues on the left of atm still unclipped, unassemblied and unprimed models - none of the other models on the right half are included in the pledge, nor Tanqhol seen in the background).

 

[_Saracen]

I had a weird, busy month with not a lot of hobby fuel in the tank. My interest was all over the place too, so what little painting I did was spread out and most of what I picked up didn't get across the finish line (i.e. the Tau pathfinders I pledged). Despite all that I did manage to get a test marine finished for my first army in HH3. Hopefully that will count for my pledge fulfillment: 

[Cryptix]

I, Cryptix, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete 3 Thanatars, 6 Blood Slaughterers, 7 Possessed, 5 Terminators, a Master of Possession, a Sorcerer, and a Terminator Sorcerer by month's end.

Aiming to wrap up my two extant CTA and get some more of the models i need for my Crusade army done this month.

[Brother Christopher]

I, Brother Christopher, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete 6 Jump Pack Marines and 1 TDA Captain by month's end.

 

[Trokair]

Less than ideal lighting conditions aside I did finish the test Tzaangor. As a models by itself I like it, though perhaps I should pick a different cloth colour as it is a bit hard to see at a glance. Whether I will do all the Tzaangors like this I am not sure yet, perhaps a few more tweaks and changes before I commit to painting all the rest, but as starting point it worked. 

 

 

 

The armour test, leadbelcher with heavy silver drybrush and contrast blue (and more silver to fix any overspill) seems to work ok and not be too time consuming, so will try it on the Rubric Marine as my August Vow.

[Grotsmasha]

Went to GeeDubz yesterday (so I guess this is an August Completion) and grabbed my free Wolf, there was a queue of peeps waiting....

[Madao]

I, Madao, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete 17 cultists (in progress), 5 mutants and 3 torments (all part of the CTA challenge) by month's end.

[Khulu]

For the month of August, I, Khulu, vow to paint one set of HH tokens/objective markers:

[Cleon]

Ok, Calling that quits on getting things done for July (if I'm still in Overtime) got the Medusas finished and the Blackstone heroes (base gloop will be added this afternoon but then I don't want to move them until it's dry, so taking pictures now). 

 

Because the Solar Aux arty lingered on the paint table, the Sicarans didn't get finished so will be added into the August pile.

[Bouargh]

It is not really Speed Daemon (not at all), as it took me 3 days, but I have managed completing the 2 warwalkers in that short amount of time.

 

 

Interestingly, left walker looks brighter on the pic. A matter of light probably, as it is not the case.

I followed the instructions for these model, changing only the heads of the genuine set for Guardians heads. For the bare one it does not really matter but I do not necesarry like the breath mask of the helmeted head of the walker's kit.

 

So, half of my pledge for august is done. Time now to start working on these Spiders of mine.

[Dwango]

I've completely lost track of the month. Not sure if I've posted completions for July, in case I haven't my death guard are done apart from bases. EC next and are well on the way.

[_Saracen]

For the month of August, I, _saracen, vow to paint one Iron Hands contemptor dreadnought:

 

 

[Cleon]

I fear August is going to be a fail on my part, I'm about a third of the month in and have yet to summon any energy or enthusiasm to paint following the complete local collapse of any interest in ever actually playing HH.

But I got a batch of models built and sprayed, so will have to see if I can get any work done on them

target, some of:

10 Solar Aux Lasrifles

1 SA big sentinel
4 LI Leman Russ
4 LI Spartan

the carry over Sicarans.

[jaxom]

I vow complete 10 Infernus Marines for August:

[Khulu]

Vow vompleted:

 

Just in time to use them today in my first game of HH3!

[Bouargh]

And here are the 5 Spiders and their token. They complete my Agust pledge after the 2 Warwalkers delivered at the beginning of the week (see 6 posts above). August is officially done! And ahead schedule.
