Well I managed it.  Finally.  Not the outstanding success I'd hoped for but, for the first time in a long time, I am actually looking forward to hobbying.

I had hoped for nearly triple this amount through my vows for the CtA but it was not to be.  Still I got my five vows done scross the forums.

 

And to continue on my Hobby Mojo journey I am continuing on with the Combat Patrol Magazine with 1x Parasite of Mortex and 1x Chaplain on Bike

I am also hoping to loop back at some point to take care of the other 10 Termagaunts and the Psychophage, but look; drilled barrels for the first time since the early 2000s...

 

Oh and I've started my run into Armageddon, buying the starter set for the unique models there to start off with.  So, starting by not starting...

@Dwango You're on fire with these completions! I've gotta say that the photo setup also goes a long way. Great way to showcase your minis.

Cheers buddy. It's a light box plus I take the photos through the app lightroom. It really helps set the tone. 

 I, Dwango, continue with the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of September pledge to complete 6 rapier batteries and crew, 10 tac marines, 10 terminators and 1 jump pack command dude for the Isstvan 3 shattered legion force by month's end.

This may well spill over into October.

I am going to update my "Plodding Along Vow" for September and probably Oktober. 

Right now, I am working on 4 Monsters:

- 1 demonic tutelary for my Thousand Sons sorcerer (a Mindstealer Sphiranx)- I would like to try out (for the first time!) the slapchop method using contrast paints

- 1 Screamer Killer for my Tyranids

- 1 Norn Emissary for my Tyranids

- 1 Lictor for my Tyranids. 

I am a bit stressed with real life and work at the moment, so my painting time is stretched and limited, but I will power through, especially since painting helps me a lot in coming down after work and with focus and stress-relief. 

 

Right now, I have assembled, primed and guide-coated the models:

Getting close to finishing off my vow of a libbie and Berehk count-as, so going to vow some more Plodding along characters (also want to get these guys painted up before a local league starts in Oct) - 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of September the following: 1 Master of Possessions, 1 Sorcerer, 1 Terminator Lord, 1 Chaos Lord (All Word Bearers).

Well for once I am happy with a mini and how long it took to paint.

One Parasite of Mortex.  Only issue I have is the base is glossy for some reason.  Not sure why but, eh.

 

I even love the fluff on this guy so I am a happy camper.  Now to get the Chaplain done.

 

And now there is an Ork event.  its like all my cards are finally falling into place.  Look out, ere comes Orktober...

We had some beautiful weather the past few days, so I spend the days enjoying the sun on my balcony while painting.

I finished my "test-run" for my first Contrast Paints with a menagerie of Tzeentchian tutelary pets for the Thousand Sons sorcerer of my Warband.

I am still not convinced that contrast paints have a place in any of my current 40k armies, but I admit that using them will enable you to put a painted army on the table fast.

I have completed the Fragdrill, the last miniature pledged for Sept. (part of Plodding along too)

I can tell that I am fed up with gantries and platforms now. Over the course of the past 4 years I have painted many of these and I can now state openly that I hate it. Anyway, these 2 storeys were my last, and frankly, seen the amount of scenery I own and the ever reducing available storage space I have, it is likely I will not invest in scenery anymore (at least items of scenery that big)... So this pledge of not buying nor modelling anymore big scenery parts is not necessarily going to be too complicated to comply with (never say never though).

 

That's it for Sept.

 

I am already working on the preps for the models to be painted in Oct:

- Power generator, 100% plasticard and bitz made - I cut the first pieces of cardboard yesterday evening

- Malestrain alpha (probably, unless another Dramatis Personnae from Malestrain gangs takes the lead in the coming days) - resins flashes cleaning on progress sincce yesterday too

Unfortunately I won't be able to finish the WB characters - Lord, Lord in Terminator Armor, Master of Possession, and Sorcerer, in time. They will go onto October's vow So this month I was able to finish - 1 SM Librarian, 1 Berehk count-as, 1 Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor, 1 Master of Executions, 1 Warpsmith (all previously pictured).
