I'm not sure what my goal for June is, probably more Wrath of Kings stuff. If I could get one faction of the starter set completely finished I'd be pretty happy with that.

My mission for June will be to finish the Malcador Infernus, Stormsword, their respective tank commanders and if possible, my surgeon-primus.

Off to a decent start. Nearly got Brother Librarian Turmiel who has sat on the shelf glaring at me for months. Bit of a rush job but TTS nonethe less

Haven't decided June's plan for me yet. The kids and I have been playing Zombicide again and I still have moar zombies to paint as well as a bunch of zombivors and survivors. Also still have Black pledge wave one to complete and wave 2 should arrive soon.

Lots of interesting stuff too look forward to in June.

My final pic of the character models I got completed this month in addition to the Zombies.



And I'll call this a stretch goal as well - finished a couple of models to make Combat Squad (+1) of Minotaurs Space Marines.

I see a few classic marines in that set.

The bionic c leg marine is one of my all time favorites. Also I think your denthenore is awesome.

brazen minotaurs look awesome Az - really ice work

I would like to get through an 8 man unit of Knights of the Realm and mounted Damsel for my Bretonnians. Have them all assembled and on sticks for painting so am off to a pretty good start this month.

I dunno what my chances will be like, but I'd like to finish 2 units of 6 Gondor Knights, a Bone Giant, bump that Minotaurs Squad to a full 10-man, and maybe a unit each of Skeletons and Zombies.

Wish me luck?

Good luck

I'm gonna try to finish that orc boss for last month and one other thing. I don't care if it's small or big or even if it has to be brought in as an ally. Wanna get something done.

So here's my pledge WIP:


My stretch goals are to finish some backlog:
(not current state)
(not current state)

And if somehow I manage to finish them I've got some terrain I may paint up too.


I should warn everyone to expect another failure this month - don't get your hopes up

@Azazelx: Good luck on getting all that stuff done! I couldn't even think about trying to get that much done in one month!

Okay, I don't know whether this could count as a late submission for May (since that is when I did most of the work on this) or whether it should count as June (since that is when I finished). Anyway, here's a pic of my Tau Piranha:


Now I have to think of some other Tau things to possibly knock out this month. I may do my Sniper Drones. Don't expect much from them, Finecrap really lived up to its reputation with the ones I got.

My first models for June: Deadzone Pathfinders!


More here.

The thing is that everything on that list I typed up is at least started, so it's a matter of time, energy and the ability to finish them. I've got a long weekend coming up next weekend, and a few days off at the end of hte month, so I'm hoping that they will help - though I've had big chunks of my free weekend time swallowed up by PS4 LAN evenings with Marouda and some friends in the past couple of weeks, with the promise of more to come...

I'd count the Tau Piranha as a June entry, Zerg - since that's when it was finished and that's the core "key" to the whole challenge (finishing stuff, whether it was started a day or a decade ago)

A modest entry for this month. All of my GoA Algoryn are painted thanks to the Tale... so I have moved onto the Concord. I have 10 minis to paint, a C3 Drop Squad and a Strike Squad:





A big push for this final month, good luck everyone.

Great stuff since I last checked in guys

Here's my May entry a few days late but not forgotten:


KoW Orc Krudger on Slasher

The dragon/turtle thing has other uses so the orc boss isn't glued on or anything. I thought about chains but then I figured it was both simpler and more macho if the boss just held on with his legs.

As soon as I think of something I like, I'm gonna spruce up the orc a bit so he looks a bit more commander-ish. Maybe glaze the armor red or make it look a bit more golden. Something. And the shield will get a symbol when I figure one out for the whole army.

Yay for progress! Sgt Gideon (aka Mr. Checkoutallmydamnedpurityseals) getting close to finish

Spoiler:

I'm very interested in seeing how these turn out. I need more inspiration for my own drop squad.

Well I guess my plans have already changed a bit, I still intend to paint some more WoK stuff (got those Ashmen to finish) however I recently got my grubby mitts on a copy of Sharp Practice v2 by Too Fat Lardies and well it seemed rude not to atleast get a few minis so I could try the rules out. I have recently been reading about the Seven Years War and the two go together really quite well. So here's a load of 15mm SYW Prussian Grenadiers, a mounted officer and a foot officer all from Essex Miniatures just before I primed them (sorry it's terrible).



Of course me being me I did get hit by some other inspiration recently, reading the Too Fat Lardies blog and various sections of TMP I couldn't help get drawn in by the concept of an "imagi-nation" (for the unaware a made up country). The 18th century is a pretty good era for this sort of thing being an era of fabulously garish uniforms and still having loads of small German and Italian states littering the continent (plus rebellious colonists elsewhere). So here we have a load of Grenadiers from a fictional country with Prussian style uniforms. Sounds like a fun little project to me; mini painting and faux historical fluff writing. Now I just need to name my German state, work out what colour the uniforms should be, buy some bases and movement trays, and work out an army list. I also have some musketeers, jägers and officers for both but I'll tackle those once the grenadiers are done.

EDIT: BTW Az, I'm not sure my goals should listed as "Maelstrom's Edge" any more. I think more accurate one would be "Random Stuff"

Check it out-- more Pathfinders!


These simple-yet-fun to paint-models have really brought up my year-to-date totals. More here.

Nice work guys, moving right along

Here's most of my June/final entry:



Three orcs and three goblins, all archers, to be used in a unit of Skulks for KoW. I figure the orcs are bad enough at sneaking and shooting things that they bullied some goblins into showing them the ropes. The front rank will include the goblins as well as a mawbeast (for tracking and stuff) with the orcs behind, easily drawing line of sight over their cousins.

The Troop tray is textured and drying/curing at the moment. Gonna spray it and get it painted as soon as I can. You can tell a bit from the photo what I'll be working on next

Nice work, guys. I haven't really even started on my Gondor or Undead for the month in any realistic sense.

Hi Az, sorry to be a pain in the backside but since we are getting into June results already I thought I would give you a friendly poke that my May results haven't been transferred to the first page as yet. It was a humble offering of some Knight Errant I think they are appearing on page 30?

Whoops sorry mate. I thought I'd done so. I might have done the work and then looked for others to add and then thought I'd hit submit.... fixed now, anyway - as well as Barzam's Knight!

Managed to get most of my pledges done already, as Targ and my Malifaux crew are finished. Should hopefully be able to finish the rest in the next couple of weeks once exams/essays are finished and I'm on break

Great to hear Rygnan, maybe you could even hit some stretch goals?

Have got my GoA Concord Drop Squad painted, I have 5 more troopers to go. Here you are Barzam:

Nice. They look like some kind of powered EVA suits. Could see those guys duking it out in a vacuum.

Fingers crossed mate! The drop squad looks great, the yellow really makes them pop IMO (note to self, DO NOT pick up another new game this year)
