[Valkia the Bloody]

Since I have already pledged these guys for Call to Arms (Chaos), I plan on painting 5 Night Lord raptors and 5 Night Lords Warptalons in the month of July;

these guys have been sitting around here for years by now (heads and shoulders are from Puppetswar):

 

[gaurdian31]

I, gaurdian31, vow to continue the 12 months challenge. For the month of June, I vow to paint a Medic for the Campaign:

[Arkley]

 

 

Due to some medical issues over the last 3 months I have struggled to get any painting done but I managed to finally finish some Crimson Fists Heavy Intercesssors.

 

[Madao]

In July I want to finish my CtA vow: 

- two Warbosses

- Painboy

- Painboss

- Big boss

- Banner nob

- Weirdboy

- Mek

- Zogstrog Grotsniffa

- Kaptin Badrukk

- two Grot orderlies

 

[Cleon]

A smaller vow for July as I'm starting a bit late and I have some Old World bits I want to progress too.

A Consul and five breachers for my HH BA

three more LI terrain bits,

One sprue of LI Saturnine (command, 3 bases of termies and 2 dreads)

[Heraclite]

First part of my July vow is done. Hero is ready and joins the last chancers for the infiltration of Araheim.

Wazdakka is done:

 

 

[Arkley]

 I, Arkley , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July, pledges to complete 5 Intercessors and 1 Ancient by month's end. (Not 3 months)

[Khulu]

I have finished my vow:

 

I think I need a break from Knights before starting a second CtA vow so I may paint a few Tyranids in the meantime. 

[Brother Argent]

I've been attempting to get a vow up for the past couple of days but am running into technical issues with the site that is meaning I am unable to get an image up.

 

Regardless I've been working on them but,

 

I, Brother Argent, vow to complete 4x Custodes and 1x Pre-Heresy Ahriman for the month of July.

 

I'll get an image up when I can.  But oh how the Armageddon models are calling to me...

 

Edited July 13 by Brother Argent
Finally able to get a picture up

[Brother Argent]

And Custodes done:

 

 

Making progress on Ahriman but he is proving a bit of a drag.  Probably as its a model I will likely never use.  But still.... progress is progress.

[Bouargh]

I forgot to post an update on my vow to mark it as completed...

 

 

More here:

 

[Heraclite]

And that's a wrap for my initial July vow

 

Bases are still drying but they're one dry brush away from being done.

 

I don't know if I will have time to work on him, but I think I'll vow my terminator chaplain as a little extra for july

[Heraclite]

Terminator chaplain is done as well!

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Going to add on to my July vow, need to get this done for a painting competition by the 28th. Might enter my Azrael and ICC as well (two categories - Big Guy and Leader + group with a minimum of 3 followers) depending on how they come out. 

 

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of July one Imperial Knight Destrier.

 

[gaurdian31]

Medic completed for July for the campaign:

 

Spoiler

 

Edited July 21 by gaurdian31
He's Medic Jim, not a Comms Specialist!

[Jolemai]

  July

 

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July pledge to complete 1x Hive City Grand Fountain  by month's end.
 

Spoiler

 

To do:

• Finish painting
• Water effects

 

[Brother Argent]

So I have finished Ahriman:

 

Happy with how the red came out, considering it was entirely an experiment. 

 

For the rest of July I am going to attempt to get done:

 

1x counts as Typhus

1x Tallyman

1x Terminator Librarian

1x Terminator Chaplain

5x Terminators

1x Terminator Beacon.

 

Steep goal but I've already made considerable progress with the Death Guard guys and, as you can tell from the photo above, I got a bit carried away and started the Termies before I remembred to take a photo.  I actually completed Ahriman last week and made a start on the Death Guys then so... silly me for forgetting to vow to begin with.

 

Anyway, off to do some eye blistering orange...

 

 

[Valkia the Bloody]

I managed to finish my pledge for Juli-

One unit of raptors and one unit of warptalons for my Night Lords.
