=] 12 Months of Hobby 2025 [=

[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.

 

 

 

More to see there: Tangling razor cutting webs - Pointy and Spiky - The Bolter and Chainsword

I've wasted no time in Dark Angelifing my Captain Centos,

[_Saracen]

I managed to get some time to paint after my first game of HH and knocked this guy out. Playing really seems to motivate hobbying for me, especially when a model ends up doing well on the table. 

 

[Nightwing]

I, Nightwing,  vow to complete 2 eldar infantrymen by month's end.

Cool, I love the tastefully over-the-top additions, particularly the sword. One can never have too many weapons.

And I will continue the 12 months of hobby challenge and for the month of april vow to paint a primaris librarian of the void cuirassiers

 

It seems my resolve this year suffered like every other year... My librarian has been sitting unfinished on my desk since mid april...

 

Time to remedy this, I will revow him for the month of august to kickstart my motivation again !

[Trokair]

August vow complete, the Test Rubric has served its purpose.

 

While it might not be the scheme I imagined all those years ago when I built them it is good enough for me to be happy with, and given the amount of trim there was it was not painful. Will have to see how I feel after another 39 Rubrics and all the other stuff.

 

 

 

 

Here the two are together, there is enough blue and metal on the Tzaangor to not look out of place I hope, while looking distinct.   

 

 

 

[Brother Christopher]

I'm surprised that it's the 20th and I'm done with 7 models - that's weird, at least by my standards. August vow complete!

[Brother Christopher]

I, Brother Christopher, further vow to complete another model, a Techmarine, by month's end.

 

 

Given my track record, this might be pushing it

 

At this point, as always, I'd like to extend my congratulations and respect to all who are able to push tens of models per month.

[gaurdian31]

August has not been a kind month, so not a huge vow. I, gaurdian31, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete 1 teleport homer by the month's end.

I totally understand your situation - there's something off about this August.

 

I can only say this: Good luck. I'll race you with my own 1-model vow!

Thank you very much! Yeah, finally started filling better over the weekend and painted up the teleport homer. I'll be using it for my Templar Assault Terminators that I will eventually get painted. Good luck on the tech marine! I had a bit of an easier model to paint.

I hear that! Better good at the right time than perfect too late. It's why some of my Marines have separate color trim and others don't. It's all about keeping that forward energy. 

 

My vow for August is a good example of that. I painted the 10 Infernus in batches of 5. First batch I was not as energized, so no trim. Second batch I had more energy so they got trim.

 

 

 

 

Right, August vow is complete!

Good one.

 

I have been struck by an enormous amount of real-life stuff this week which leads me to be a bit concerned about my success. Especially since I'm discovring that the model has a fair bit of details that I've glossed over. Thanks!

 August

 

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August, pledge to complete: 1x Void Shield Generator by month's end.

To do:

• Reinforce containment structure
• Paint

 

[Blissful Brushes]

I’ve been a bit absent of late but I have a weekend to myself and a lot of meetings I don’t need to talk in, so I, Blissful Brushes, vow to complete these two marines by the end of August:

 

[Bob Fossil]

I knew summer wasn't the best time for me to paint, but I didn't expect such failure! 

Real life has been packed with good and less good stuff, I couldn't find time and/or energy to achieve anything. I feel like I'm betraying this glorious community. 

No vow for July, No vow for August either, (ooooh double shame!)

This is what resulted of the few times I sat long enough to actually pick up a brush. I guess this count as half a model for each of the last two months. I hope I'll do better in september...

Life gets in the way sometimes, and that's ok, your little plastic dudes will wait patiently for you

[Grotsmasha]

Finally found the time to finish off my "Primarisized" Brother Bethor Chapter Ancient Conversion, and with that, August is complete,

 

 

and here they are together,

I'm not going to be able to put the amount of time I need to work on Gulliman this month, so he will be a holdover for next month. Still working on the other SM though, they should be done, hopefully.

[Blissful Brushes]

I’ve nailed my method and recipe now so they’re not taking a huge amount of time now.
