Amaing what a head swap can do Ulf, that looks great. The joins on that model were a pita for me too.

Not a large amount done for this month, but I have done it. Namely my Algoryn X-Launcher and Spotter drones (the drones will be given to each unit in my army thus far):

X Launcher and Drones:



What the Tale Of Gamers has inspired me to do over 3 months:



Good luck with any last minute painting fellow gamers.

Great stuff, Thraxas. I managed to get the 2 models I needed for that Archer unit done. Just need to spray varnish them and then I can photograph the unit together.

If people who haven't already done so could please try to post their monthly pics, I'll be able to update the OP and start on April.

March Pledge Done... Remaining AoS items primed and zenith... Sorry for the blurry picture....

And April, May and June Pledges decided:

Group shot for March.



Pledge for April:
-Trygon
-2 Zoanthropes
-3-10 more RPG figures

I'll try and get my March pic later today.

Nice work Thraxas and Ulf

John I'll be looking forward to seeing the AOS stuff getting paint on it.

I'm away this weekend. wil try and get a group shot taken adn up come sunday

Maybe once my wife is home on Sunday and i'm finally free form the kids I can actually get something done?

It's been a hell of a spring break.

At least I got my Shadows of Brimstone finished. Maybe I should finally start those Tau I keep talking about...

But then again there's an Ogre army that's sitting in front of me waiting to get put together....ugh. Decisions....

Hey, didn't finish the unit , but did get this one done:

Have primed some stuff for next month and will try to get a unit done this time. Sorry all for being low on the productivity

Corrrrr, nice use of the blood effects!

Thanks very much BrookM

While we're at it, here's my current pledge for April and probably beyond:



Malcador vanilla, Dracosan and an Infernus, the official deadline is in twelve days. I'll be happy to at the very least get them all primed and blocked in at the very least though.

Well I didn't get as much done as I wanted this month. Bought more than I painted , which is usual, however I've been painting a lot more than I normally do.

Here is the majority of what I did this month. The 4 fatties still need strong tone put on them, but every time I open my pot of it the top layer hardens up and i loose a ton of it, so I'm waiting to get a bunch of fingures all done at once with it.


only 17 models ......Oh wait there was a rabbit in there too


April will hopefully see the Kings of War army I'm building with the three front guys here developed. Theres a total of 27 models in the 2000pt army, three are done and 12 more are proceeding currently.

Oh and here is a picture of the King of War army that iposted in my thread a few days ago. Hoping to get it completed this month.

My pledge for April will be the one I intended to do in March before RL kicked me in the nutz (well, the shoulder actually, but if I'm honest that's not what really slowed me down). So, the Tau Piranha. If I have time I'll also try to knock out some Stealth suits and maybe some drones as well.

Here is my April pledge, 2 GoA squads an AI Infiltration Squad and an AI Intruder Skimmer Squad:



Love your March work Ulf.

Completely failed to do anything for March and I can't see April being any better. I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull out of this.

No need to drop, mate - you've gotten stuff done, so just do what you can do when you can.

My initial target for April is to paint 9 Orks.

Not much of a target at first sight, but this will finish off 2 units of 30 boys AND a unit of 5 heavy weapon types.

Got a nice bit done this past month. Really happy to have got the ranger squad done and done right. Here's the boys and a friend they dragged along !!

Fancy stuff everyone! I haven't given up, I've got stuff primed. Not sure what I'll get done for April but surely some kind of Orc unit. Maybe some skeletons as a 'stretchgoal'.

Did not manage to finish this months goals sadly so I will extend that over to next month now.

I did get to play about with my airbrush today which is going to take some getting used to.

What a fabulous thread! Well done to all the painters and to Azazelx for the notion.

Big push for April. Hopefully gonna get this lot done. Thanatar is main stage this month. Squad of ruststalkers on the side. Going to try and get a chunk of space hulk done as well; 3 termies and 3 stealers. Turmiel really really has to get finished this month and have gotten a start on a FW tech priest as well. Phew. Fingers crossed!!

Fancy! I've just about got an orc boss but finished, just seal and base. Hopefully I can do more this month but as he's technically a unit this should take the stress off.

I'm so over painting both Skeletons and Gondor dudes at this point. I'm going to push through and get a unit of Osgilliath Veterans finished, and maybe do some character models for the undead.

I'd like to emphasise to everyone that both of these are completely "legal" for a month's target.

Hey if big ticket kickstarter s can put in a low funding goal and use fake stretch goals to fill out the core product... Why not me?

Gah! Blind guardian on Pandora is playing the soulforged (totally about Raistlin) and I'm in the mood to paint the everloving feth out of something but all I can do is pace around trying to lull Miss Babyington into slumber... Curses!

Nothing fake about it! I set up the thing with those very same specific rules to help motivate me to finish off character morels and those bloody annoying units that just needed a couple more models or a bit more work to get finished.

'Cos anything finished towards your XXXX army is more completed in your XXXX army.

Indeed, and before you made this thing, I hadn't painted a single Orc even though I'd traded off some perfectly good space marines for a gaggle of them (not that the marines were getting painted either!). So Kudos Sir!

Okay, I'm going to be cheap this month. I'm going to be working on my Covenant of Antarctica Air Fleet boxed set. However, I will not be doing the whole thing. My plan is to more or less split it up and work on the smaller stuff this month. So, that means bombers and any fighter drone tokens I might have. Unless I'm really feeling it, I won't be working on the battleships. The main reason for that is that 1)my birthday is this month, and that means I'll very likely be getting a pile of minis and 2)I picked up a pile of clearanced minis yesterday from Brookhurst Hobbies and received my missing Dreadball stuff. So, I have quite the pile and I'd just rather get through that stuff right now than the Dystopian Wars vehicles.

Sounds good Barzam, probably not a bad idea to pace ourselves in the middle-late stretch.

Here's what I've got for you guys so far, technically "done" for April but we'll see if I can't do a little more:




I'm not apologizing for the big base, it looked better This was a bit rushed, but I had both of my kids at the kitchen table while I tried to knock it out...feeding the small one baby treats to placate her and helping the other with the Nick Jr. games. Not how I'd want to paint every day, but he's done just the same.

A bit hard to see, but here is the entirety of the Shadows of Brimstone: City of Ancients base set.


My "stretch goals" are also there-

Swamp Slugs of Jargono
Heroes from the other box set- Swamps of Death
Malifaux Guild Guards
Malifaux Lady Justice and the Judge from the Guild's Judgement

Somewhat better photos http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-72319-50714_Shadows%20Of%20Brimstone.html

April is back to actual units though.

OGRES.

Big fat dumb ogres. Ogres on shaggy horned things. Ogres yelling. Ogres carrying sticks. Ogres with meat. Ogres shooting stuff. Ogres on really really big shaggy things.

If I can finish the ogres, I'll be starting up the Death Marshalls from that Guild's Judgement posse, finishing the Hellvermin enemies for Brimstone, and try to finish up some Scaly Horde stuff for DeepWars.

Also start those damn Tau I've been talking about for months!
