There not bad at all Josh.
Finally got the Knights done.

I've also got the Pole-Arms up to a regiment.

This completes this months pledge.

Okay, these are not Tau, but I'll still put them in to show that I did paint something in November. My Blood Ravens Centurion Devastator Squad:

More pics of these guys can be found in my P&M blog.

I'm actually gonna try to knock out a few marker drones for the Tau over the next couple of days. Drones shouldn't be too difficult, right?

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

Great Gnolls really like that tracker. Such an interesting pose. This months pledge is an Archer regiment and an Arquebusier troop.

Cheers, have a beer on my tab. These are all GW figures, metal leader, the rest are plastic irondrakes.

Now for two classic metal figures. Dwarf longbeards among you will know what's coming next.

Best to end this rather personal mediocre half of the year with something at least:



An Imperial Noble to go with my incoming Knight. Painted from start to finish over the course of several nights, using the lessons learned from GW's Duncan as best I can with these silly excuses for hands.

Great work guys, and thank you to all of you for keeping this thing going in my mostly-absence over the past few months. 2016 has been a hell year at work, and not exactly awesome with health and family, either. I know a lot of others have had serious trials and tribulations as well this year, so it's really heartening to be able to look at this thread and see so many people doing what they can and keeping on keeping on.

I'm still in the "recovery" phase myself, and so I've spent some time this morning trying to update the last several months. There's still a bit to go, but that's mostly chasing down things like the correct links to the right post on Archer's bog for his models and the like. Having said that, I'm sure I would have screwed some things up whether that's missing people's posts, putting things into the wrong month, or accidentally putting people's work under another person's name. If you spot anything like that, please do post and let me know (with links, dammit!)

Dysartes offered to coordinate Jan-June's 2017's Tale of Many Gamers since I'm not likely going to be able to keep up with the updating (as you might have noticed). If you're still keen to do so, please consider me the first sign-up!

Having said all that, it's time for my October post.
I'll do my best to catch up on my own models and photography in the next few days.

Another regiment of Mantic Zombies!

Awesome stuff mate - and very much appreciated!

Here's some more stuff from my own October as I work my way through my painted models of the past few months and photograph them.



A Warlord for Saga, along with his Hearthguard and an extra model. I'm thinking I'll add some extra details to that red and white shield. It's really bothering me now.

So here's the final unit for the challenge, an Arquebusier troop.

Here's the army at the end of the challenge.

I'm very happy with the results of the 6 month challenge and thank you for having me. Thanks AzazelX for setting it up and Dysartes for starting the next round.
