=] 12 Months of Hobby 2025 [=

[Valkia the Bloody]

I finished my extra-vow for October.

Reason for my spur of motivation-

Listening to the audio book "Deathworlder". It was so exciting, I just wanted to know how it ended and spend all the time painting....

 

Here is my Tyranid Prime:

 

And while I was painting the Tyranid, I used the waiting time when paint needed to dry to paint the Mini of the Month, the halfling sniper:

[Valkia the Bloody]

Today I finished up the Wulf Priest which I converted and then forgot on my shelf for 15 years. 

So today he saw the light of day and a coat of paint. 

[Cleon]

Some useful progress, Imperial Fist Support completed, along with the scatter terrain and (finally) the Sentinel. 

 

Adding some terrain from the plodding along to in flight, but not targeting completion this month, enough to do with the remaining bits.

 

[Heraclite]

Finished the eliminators and my october vow

 

Since I'm on vacation, I guess I can vow 10 infiltrators too! Maybe they'll be done in time, and if not I'll finish them next month

Edited October 20 by Heraclite

[Lord_Ikka]

Going to pledge a second vow, got some free time coming up that I can add on to my Votann. 

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of October the following: 1 Kahl, 1 Einhyr Champion, 1 Uthar the Destined

 

[Heraclite]

With the infiltrators done, I think that's all for october!

 

 

I'll wait until next week to vow for november but I think I will start with my attack bike/invader atv

[Grotsmasha]

Finally started on the TDA units, first up a Grand Master in TDA, model is based in the new Leviathan TDA Captain,

 

 

 

next up, Grand Master Voldus in primaris scale, this took alot of patience and precision to get right, and I do have plans to add detail to both shin armours. The model consists of new legs and rear torso from a DW Knight, everything else is the standard Voldus model trimmed down and out to accomodate the DW Knight pieces.

 

 

 

and here they are together, you can see that Voldus is on par with the TDA Captain / Grand Master (both on 50mm bases),

 

[Bob Fossil]

I might find the time to complete these this month.  So I, Bob Fossil, vow to paint 10 Infernus marines for the month of October.

[Lord_Ikka]

Second vow finished- 1 Kahl, 1 Einhyr Champion, and Uthar the Destined. 

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Going to vow for Nov now, because I have other hobbying to do and will otherwise forget.

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of November the following: 4 Necromunda Spyrers themed off of the BLAME! Manga

I, Nightwing , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of October, pledge to complete some number of Necron Warriors by month's end.

 

Too much shameful grey and lazy silver:

Well, I got some number done.

1 > 0

 

Tron-cron!

[Valkia the Bloody]

Since I will probably be busy on the weekend and then disappear to a business trip to England next week, I will also make my November vow early.

 

I, Valkia the Bloody, vow to paint 1 Broodlord, 10 Genestealers and 1 Ambull during the month of November.

 

 

If I feel especially motivated, I might also start on my Pyrovore conversion, but I should not get ahead of myself. 

 

 

[Boc]

Won't be able to finish more of my vow this month than the following:

 

Knight Castigator

 

 

3 war dogs

 

 

Knight Abhorrent (aaaand to next month it goes!)

 

2 Maleceptors

 

Screamer-killer

 

Tyranid prime

 

Repulsor (push to next month)

[Brother Christopher]

Given my obligations for the rest of the week, I don't see any chances of finishing the fourth model.

 

I declare that I'm done with 3 out of 4 models I pledged this month.

 

 

[gaurdian31]

So great models this month! Here's my little grot, meaning my October vow is complete:

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.

Vow completed! Honestly thought I wasn't going to make it, but as it turns out getting laid off has a way of freeing up time .

[Trokair]

Vow complete (or as complete as I am going to get it any time soon).

 

 

In person the white is a less merging into itself as it is in the photo, but I may still at some point down the line try some panel lying and/or capillary action recess darkening. Also left the shield white as I could not decide on what to do with it.

I, andes, clearly need to change gears this month so pledge to complete this Ballistus Dreadnought in the month of Orktober. Sorry Gork, and possibly Mork.

 

Blessed by The Emperor! Completed on time...

October was a crazy month for me. I finally landed a new job after looking for over a year and it took a lot out of me getting acclimated to fulltime work again. I pledged a whole squad but ended up with only the sergeant getting done in time. I also decided which traitor legion to play alongside my Iron Hands, and I allocated my pledged squad to that legion: the Night Lords. I haven't done much freehand before but I'm pretty happy with the result given how much effort it took once I finally had time to paint.
