Still plugging away at the Dungeon Saga minis.

Dwarf Revenants and Undead Dwarf King:


Three identical ghosts:


Two identical zombie trolls:


Zombie Troll Bruiser:


With these models, I can declare the core set finished:


There is still a month left in the challenge, so I'm going to give these goblins a go:

Having made the dice tower, and with a bit of time left in the challenge it got me thinking: what ELSE would be useful that I could make from the same set? Shatterpoint is a game of a lot of bits and pieces - damage tokens, negative conditions, status effects, objectives, rulers... and they all end up everywhere.

So:
Ruler Storage / Dice cup!

Rulers end up all over the place in Shatterpoint, so having somewhere to store them makes sense.

When using the Dice Tower, as rolls are opposed, you might want to have a dice cup to chuck simultaneously (or not risk models falling off the dice tower). Going to embelish them a bit, but the principle is sound.

Cut-down ladders in the underside mean nothing falls through, either.

Token Trays! There are millions of tokens in the game, and having them organised just makes life much easier

My entry is built and ready to paint!

I’m hoping this forms some good motivation for me.

I want to get the following minis done by September.

10 solar guard (Imperial Breacher proxies) - built and unprimed
1 solar guard leader - built unprimed
10 Scions - built and primed
2 - flamer troopers (inquisition acoloyte proxies) - built and primed
2x deathcult assassins- built and unprimed
2 crusaders - built and base coated

I realise the last ones have been started so kinda don’t count for the challenge so I wont include them in the voting photo at the end but I’m adding them so I get them finished.

If I some how get the above done I will add a character like a commissar or inquisitor

Going to switch my goal on this. Friend of mine decided to pick up a Votan combat patrol and wants to do some kill team up to 40k esclation type games so going to paint up some kriegers for my astra militrum instead as I am closer to a semi functioning force with them.

Photos to come tomorrow.

I had a day where it wasn't too hot/jumid and I could just paint. Managed to finally finish the musician and bang out two more:



I'm about a third of the way there, but they're not so bad if I paint two at a time to completion:

Thanks KC!
So, I made more stuff with the rest of the I Have the High Ground terrain set.


I decided to go a bit more freehand with the graffiti.

Really happy with how the Aqualish and Gamorrean have turned out. The one on the left says Aliens Out Now and the other says Rebel!

Another graffiti shot

The tag that looks like 2 stylised Js is huttese, it's a Nikto gang tag (same species as Vane from Ahsoka/Skeleton Crew), I've used it before on another piece of terrain, to tie them together. The squiggle is a vague, non-specific tag that pops up across The Mandalorian

And all together

I'll edit my earlier post so these pics are in there too.

Nice work on the terrain and the freehands in particular, inmygravenimage.

Me, I'm six sessions (modest as they are) into applying the basecoat and over half of the froghemoth now has a nice, shiny layer of brown on it. Wait, shiny? That's right. Reaper's dreaded white PVC is still giving me a headache, which drains my motivation quite a bit. What a dreadful material.

I finished the first Sanguinary Squad from the Combat Patrol a few days ago and only now got around to taking photos:

Work in progress shots:

Well, took a month and a half, but 5 more ogres are done. I'll get a better picture of everything at the end of the event but for now here they are plus the next project. I doubt I have time for anything big so going for some 3d printed Sabretusks I've had laying around. Since I'm not planning on doing any complex color schemes on them I at least hope I can get a few painted up before September, but I suppose we will see...

We have about half a month left on this. Keep an eye on your goals, progress, and what still needs to be done.

I'm not gonna meet my goal. These models are killing my enthusiasm and my painting time keeps getting curtailed

My new goal is to try to hit 10 marauders for a playable (but woefully underpowered) unit.

Get what you can finished and across the line. Then go back and see what else you can get done. Keep at it!

I won't be able to paint the froghemoth on time. I'm still one or two painting sessions short of a fully basecoated model. Progress was slow to begin with and then I lost over a week to a heatwave. Since my monthly model isn't in a much more advanced state and August is quickly running out, there's no way I can spare the time to paint a colossal model on the side.

I guess that means I'll come back to it sometime in the future. Maybe next year's theme should be I Know What You Didn't Do Last Summer.

The month is not over yet, miracles can happen. But prioritize you hobby time as you need to do.

Heh. I like the concept of "I Know What You Didn't Do Last Summer” but I think as a topic it might have some issues. Also some advantages. Knock the dust off an old project, and get it finished up. Some people need help with motivation on that. But also, dusty projects are dusty for a reason. I think we might see more people drop out then normal.

Progress:


I should have got an after picture, but these guys are flocked and done. I’ve got one more barrow knight to do the last steps on, and 6 more wolves.

After that I could finish 6 more barrow guard, but think that squad has been replaced by the wolves. I should still get them done. I could also do more of the CC random bits and bobs. Or another 20 skeletons, but that’s not going to happen any time soon.

Yeah I'm gonna be doing good to finish even a single unit by, what was it, Labor Day? My motivation just dropped to near zero, and I've got other projects with higher priority. I might see if I can get the one unit done so I have SOMETHING to enter

End date is Labor Day, which is September 1st this year, so not a lot of extra time.

We can do an extension if a little more time would help.

Well I am falling further behind...had a catastrophic failure with the windlass, anchor and the anchor chain on the starboard side...then another on the bottle screw slip on the port side.So a rebuild is required as the parts were fitted with the wired joins being under the deck there.

I did make the depth charges (you can see the original kit version in grey.



Sweep deck is doing alright.


Cheers,

CB

I decided that, given the rate stuff was getting done, that I should cut loose some of the pieces and concentrate on finishing about half of the stuff. Making progress.
