[RXtacy]

He looks fantastic, love the shading on the armor!

[Madao]

My September vow addendum is complete (I will base them along with the rest of the squads). Prepare to be judged

[Lord_Ikka]

Going to try to make these for September, got some Trench Crusade to finish up but we'll see if I can get them done- 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of September the following: 1 Space Marine Captain of my personal chapter, 1 Space Marine Devastator of the Angels of Fire chapter, 1 Inquisitor Greyfax

 

[_Saracen]

I, _saracen, vow for to paint for the month of September: 1 Iron Hands Herald consul

 

[Trokair]

I, Trokair, vow for the month of September to paint one space marine by month’s end. I will be trying out a stone/granite statue look and this model of the month from a while back seems like a good candidate before I try to paint the big stone/terracotta Cathay Guy for my Old World army.

 

I also have some Dirty Down Moss that I have yet to try out and this seems like a good candidate for that as well. 

 

[Boc]

Well that was optimistic

 

3x Onager Dunecrawlers (stubborn), complete

[Heraclite]

that's quite the outpout @Boc!

 

For my part, I just finished the 5 remaining intercessors for my september vow : 

 

and here's the whole vow :

 

[Cryptix]

Another weekly update, managed to finish painting all of the black robed models. 

Honestly at this point I'm happy, but I'm still going to try to push to finish the 4 laecrymata guys (set apart by their white upper robes)...the tech priests are almost done, just need to highlight the metallics before tinting them. The Archmagos on the other hand...all that hard to reach trim over white so it needs multiple coats...why did I have to go for white scrubs 

 

 

[Valkia the Bloody]

I am back from my holiday!

And I am motivated to get stuck in with some painting next month.

 

I, Valkia the Bloody, pledge to paint 11 Neurogaunts, 1 ripper swarm and 1 Harpy for my new Tyranid army in the month of October. 

 

 

Yes, the "Harpy" is a Leviadon, but it fits my swamp monster army perfectly and it has, typical for Tyranid bioforms. tyranid spikes and armor plates as well as 6 limbs. 

Plus, it now also has a chainsword of an unlucky space marine lodged in the carapace. 

[Heraclite]

I don't think I will have the time to do them in the next two days, so I'm ready to vow for october !

 

I Heraclite, embark once more on the 12 months of hobby challenge and for the month of october vow to paint 5 assault intercessors en 3 eradicators, for the glory of the Void Cuirassiers

[Lord_Ikka]

September vow 2 finished - SM Bladeguard Captain, Angels of Fire Devastator Marine, Inquisitor Greyfax 

 

[Valkia the Bloody]

First step of my vow for October is done:

I have finished the base for my Leviadon "Harpy" for my new Tyranid army. 

I would also like to extend my vow for October-

apart from painting the Harpy and 11 Neurogaunts, I would like to finish 4 Ripper Swarms- not just the one. 

Here is the finished base for the Harpy. I hope it is suitably grim-dark.

[Bouargh]

IT is not yet Oct., so a little bit early to pledge, but anyway, here is my target for October:

 

I, bouargh, enlist 12 MoH, and for teh month of October pledge to paint a custom Adeptus Mechanicus EngineSeer and a party of 8 Servitors and their lesser Babysitting-seer:

 

 

[Trokair]

This is as far as I managed to get with the stone marine test, so calling that’s as a oath complete.

 

 

 

I did not try the dirty down moss yet, maybe will give it a try at the weekend, but the rest of it seems ok so far. Started with black, then three progressive light greys dry brushed on starting heavy and getting lighter. A wash with Athonian Camoshade and hten another grey dry brush and a light bit of grey seer at the end to catch a few edges.

 

I think I can make this work for the large Cathay Sentinel, with a little more direction and perhaps doing a few things with a mid brown dry brush or wash to give a bit more variance of the stone.

 

[Dwango]

Not sure if I actually vowed but here's what I have done for September. The SoH element of the shattered legions. That's the army done, along with the board too. I'll get a better picture with them together. 

[Cleon]

First wave of September completions, tiny Fists. The SA troops are done, but need the basing doing so will aim to post tomorrow, the Sentinel will pass over another month.

[_Saracen]

This is about as far as I'll be able to get with this guy before month's end. I'm hoping to find some decent transfers to finish off the banner soon but for now I'm going to call the vow complete at tabletop level:

I, Cryptix, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of September pledge to complete 10 Techpriests of varying disciplines, 6 Myrmidons, 3 Arcuitor Magisterium, 1 Magos, 2 Archmagos, and 1 Archmagos Abeyant by month's end.

Man, crazy to imagine my original plan was to finish all my mechanicum by end of summer, now I'll be lucky if I'm finished by new year lol. Still got 80 tech thralls, 4 Armigers, 2 Krios, a Thanatar, and an Atrapos after this too lol. Trying to at least get all of the clergy out of the way so I never have to paint a black robe again .

Deciding to call it here got a partial completion rather than rush the laecrymata archmagos when I ain't feeling it. Hey I achieved my goal of painting every last black robe...it just cost me having to paint white robes instead. 

 

And for my next trick...

I, Cryptix, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October pledge to complete 20 Despoilers and 6 Objective Markers by month's end.

Between my birthday, my mum visiting, and the game I work on launching an important update, taking it slow this month. Can always vow more troops if I finish early, heaven knows I've got loads to paint :P

Forgot the Myrmidons from September vow

[Blissful Brushes]

I managed half, I’m moving and the paints have had to be packed away :( 

 

I got the sergeant done but only managed to finish the conversion on the terminator and get it base coated. I did manage to build a Breacher which is an achievement for me - putty uses a lot less space than a whole desk worth of paints.

 

I’ll see how the move goes before I commit this month.

[Cleon]

And the Solar Aux from September, 5 more line infantry and WIP on the Sentinel

[andes]

I managed to knock out a single Wrecka Krew member in September. Gonna take a while to finish the Kill Team at a model per month

[Lord_Ikka]
