[andes]

I, andes, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and for the month of May pledge to complete a Vespid Stingwing for my Araheim Kill Team, and 3 Deffkoptas.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

I, Lord_Ikka, vow to paint for the month of May the following: 

One Grimnyr, 2 Sagitaurs, 1 Hekaton Land Fortress (completing my 1st Plodding Along vow), and 6 Inquisition kill-team members (4 Troopers for the campaign).

 

 

Edited April 28 by Lord_Ikka

[W.A.Rorie]

So Yeah.....My Howling Griffon Scouts from April are still not done so they will be restarted in June as I have limited time due to being out half the month of May for Nieces Graduation/ Graduation Present/ Vacation and "Getting Honey Do" listed this weekend so I wont get KT model for May done either. So I will have 2 knock 2 models out for May....

 

I, W.A.Rorie vow to paint for the month of May the following: 

2 Celestian Insidiants kill-team members (1 Heavy and 1 Troopers for the campaign).

 

Picture to follow

[Heraclite]

I started with the scout for may, as it allowed me to work in a batch with the missile launcher scout from april.

 

The heavy bolter wasn't vowed but since he shares a pair of legs with the missile launcher, he was included in the batch

 

And here they all are with the sergeant from march

[Khulu]

Going big this month. I'm hoping I can get all this done. For the month of May, I, Khulu vow to paint 20 Tactical Marines, 10 Veterans with disintegrators, 10 Assault Marines:

 

[Brother Argent]

So while I wait on the (seemingly long delayed) second drop of Combat Patrol I shall sneak in some of my Plodding Along.  For the Month of May I, Brother Argent, vow to repaint/readjust painting for 1x Howling Banshee (the one with the base from a past Boxing Day Bash) and one Farseer (from a Previous Call to Arms) and finish up and base 4x Howling Banshees, 1x Fire Dragon, 1x Bnashee Shrine and 1x Wraithlord.

 

 

Not much but its a start

[Brother Christopher]

I, Brother Christopher, continue the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of May pledge to complete by month's end my failed April's vow, i.e. 5 Assault Marines .

 

[Heraclite]

Infernus marine is done. Heavy intercessor is next

 

[Bouargh]

Dark Reapers done. Getting a bank holiday and 2 heavy rain days helped a lot. Next will be Yriel

 

 

I have ended up with a very classical scheme, not succeeding into finding something that pleased me more or sufficiently enough to pretend getting more red, for stressing out the link with Saim Hann and the Ynnari. For Yannri I set in red the ribbon on the left arm + one unhelmetted head. For Saim-hann, let's say the red on the helmet will be enough for pretending to a tight link with the savage crafworld.... 

[gaurdian31]

I, gaurdian31, vow to paint for the month of May 1 Chaos Legionnaire as a standard Trooper:

 

Spoiler

 

[Cleon]

I took my pre painting photos, but forgot to post - yeah that's how things are going at the moment....

May target:

Legiones Imperialis: 4 Sabres, 4 Vindicators and 8 more bits of terrain

Horus Heresey: 5 more tactical marines

40k: 10 traitor guard  (sort of a kill team, but also if added to the Blackstone Fortress and Darktide ones make a convincing if not totally legal traitor platoon)

Blackstone Fortress: 5 more bits of terrain

[\spoiler]

 

[Valkia the Bloody]

Since I came back from my travels in the grip of Nurgle, and now Summer (with my outdoor hobbies) has started, progress in the coming months will be slower.

I think I will try to concentrate on painting one thing, and this thing will be a Kratos tank for my Night Lords.

I, Valkia the Bloody, will try and finish 1 Kratos tank in the month of May. 

 

[Tallarn Commander]

It's fun and inspiring to see everyone's May vows.

 

I, Tallarn Commander, vow to paint for the month of May Daughter of Anarchy, 1 Night Lords Raptor.

 

Spoiler

 

[Heraclite]

The heayv bolter heavy intercessor is done. (I noticed the gold overspilled on the "under" shoulder pad and the skin under his eye while posting and already touched it up...)

 

I now just need to paint the captain to have a 2nd legal kill team finished for my plodding along vow, but he'll have to wait as he is not primed yet

 

Next on the painting desk is Fingers from the Last Chancers, and I hope to finish the month on my 5th company captain

[andes]

I just picked up my Wazdakka and I'm dying to get started so am going to add him to my tally for May. Busy month

[Tallarn Commander]

Nice work Heraclite and Andes. Here is a WiP shot of my Raptor, she's slowly coming along. I hope to finish her this weekend.

 

 

Daughter of Anarchy

 

 

 

[Heraclite]

I was supposed to start on fingers before tackling the captain, but I had some "marines" paints still good on the wet palette so rearranged the order of priority.

 

My 5th company captain is now done, and I can change the paper on my wet palette to start fresh on Fingers, and maybe vow another last chancer too!

 

[Lord_Ikka]

First part of the May vow finished- 6 Inquisition kill-team members

 

 

-Note to @Grotsmasha -  These four are the Troopers for my campaign kill-team (May, August, November, and December minis)

[Valkia the Bloody]

Today was a holiday in Germany and I am happy to post a WIP of the progress on my Kratos tank:

 

[Cleon]

Been a bit out of it, but have managed to get the Russ and first batch of Sanctifiers from April spill over completed, along with some of the simple paintwork from May - most of the terrain across BSF and LI

[Heraclite]

Fingers from the last chancers is complete.

 

 

[Jolemai]

 May

 

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of May pledge to complete 6x Fallen Angels  by month's end.
