[Heraclite]

For the month of november I will vow a primaris attack bike (invader atv)

I have painted these ones over two weeks ago and had no motivation to pick up a brush since then. Hopefully, I will find some for November

 

[Arkley]

I doubt I can start this year but I hope to return in 2026 :)

[Cryptix]

I, Cryptix, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of November pledge to complete 20 Despoilers, 10 Praetorian Chosen, and a Sorcerer, Champion, and Chaos Lord by month's end.

[andes]

I, andes, pledge to continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and for the month of November complete this half-finished T'au Ripide. And at least 1 more Ork Wrekka Krew member.

 

[Arkley]

But I will come back in 2026 I am finally getting a project I have wanted to do since 3rd. But I have not been lazy since I have been away. .

 

 

[Grotsmasha]

Very Overtime, but here's my Orktober Ork,

 

 

[Valkia the Bloody]

Since I was a bit sickly this weekend, I did not leave the house and had therefore time to paint (and listen to Black Library audiobooks). 

So in just 2 days, I finished the first half of my November vow-

1 Ambull and 5 Genestealers (as well as the bore-wyrms and a small objective marker)

[Dwango]

The rampagers are done. With an added rhino. 

 

 

[Khulu]

I missed October due to real life issues, but I'm determined to not miss November. So, I, Khulu, vow to paint one Leviathan:

[Bouargh]

I, bouargh, embark 12 MoH and for the month of Nov. pledge to paint my Jokaero Challenge Berserk Votann and build and paint 5 AdMech Sicarians.

 

[Jolemai]

October Complete

 

Three Saturnine Terminators

3/3 complete

 

Spoiler

 

[Arkley]

I, Arkley, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of November pledge to complete Alexis Polux - Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists by month's end.
 

OK why not its been a while since I have done this :)

[Madao]

Let me try with something non-dull, hopefully it will spark my hobby engagement (sorry officers, you are going to shelf jail for some time).

 

I, Madao, embark on the 12 Months of hobby and vow to complete remaining characters from BSF (priest, rogue trader, 2 ratlings, man of iron,  kroot and eldar) by the month's end. It will also complete my plodding along for this year.

This reminds me that these guys have been sitting on my shelf of shame unpainted for years, too......

I wish you strength and perseverance to get them painted, and that you get a spark of motivation from it.

And my axe... wait no, wrong franchise.

I have the rtlings and the Eldar to finish, but I'm looking at adding some of the bad guy expansions in as I'm realising I'm not going to get my plodding along finished.

[Grotsmasha]

Been woring on a Commission for far too long, I've finally finished off the units,

 

10 Zephyrim

 

Spoiler

 

 

and a FW Drukhari Reaper,

 

 

 

and a Tyranids Neurotyrant,

 

 

 

I've now got just 4 Munitorum Containers to wrap before December, how hard can it be ?!?!?

[Bouargh]

@Grotsmasha: the standard bearer of your Zephirim is probably my favorite out of your recent productions - the crimson of the fabric and the flames from the brasero are great. Rest of the minis is not bad neither .
