August 2012 Painting and Modeling Vows

djphranq — GMT

Really not sure what to put down for this month. I've got two cats that make it difficult to get any modeling done. I'll have to lock them in the bathroom or something.

I'm going to try to at least get a model built this month. It might be Harry the Hammer or the WHFB Khorne Lord on Juggernaut.... or it might even be that super huge Slaanesh Chariot thingy.

I'll be lucky if I can get one tac marine built.

How about you folks?

Get my 5-Nob Nobz Mob painted up to tabletop quality (or even, time permitting, my obsessive 'paint-the-hidden-areas' level of quality).

cool thread, have no participated in one before;

Here are my plans (of mice and men....);

1 - Assemble, prime, paint and base FW Tau HQ
2 - Assemble, prime, paint and base Shadowsun HQ
(completes tau HQ slot).
3 - Complete repairs on Tau XV15 suits (about 8?).
4 - Finish paint scheme on Vespid
5 - Basecoat Tau XV15 suits
6 - Complete Stormraven comission
7 - Finish necron terrain piece prototype

I mainly play xenos (tau, nids, necrons) but have a small marine army I use as a "loaner" force for random games. I also make a lot of terrain, and do some commissions here and there.

While my xenos armies were done enough to play (well, my necrons are still playing catch up after the new dex) I noticed that I had huge amounts of models not done, or just assembled/primerd (for example had 3500 points built, but maybe only 2000 painted to a table top quality, etc.) so I am trying to go back and just finish them.

I look forward to seeing everyone else's goals and progress!

I figured out what I'm going to do. I'm going to put together one Deathwatch Marine for the following Deathwatch Competition. I encourage folks to join.

I would say no it isn't, because I started my razorbacks... oh... 8 months ago.

Sounds legit. What sucks is when you have to get all the dust out of every crevice so you can paint.

This, but with a whole army, I will need as much chaos black as possible

Increased work hours and tending to our new puppy have completely drained my hobby time for the past few weeks. If I can finish the 3 Boys collecting dust on my table (they're probably 80% done, already) and paint up the primed Nob to round out my trukk mob, that will be enough of a jump in productivity to count myself satisfied.

I'm finishing up Mr. Kantor today, I have a tactical/Templar squad, Land Raider Crusader, and a Chaplain that are all primed and ready to go... Now I just need to find a way to get them done before school starts on the 27th...

Cutting it pretty close, but got all my goals completed. Although, I may go back and brighten up a few things. It's very hard for me to balance scary and rediculous (rediculous not being a negative thing).

1) barely made that one! Only spent $166. 100 of that was reaper. 1/3 of the remainder was Hasslefree. The rest was odd and ends at the game store. Mind you, even pop and food purchases from the store count under this budget.
2) I have the control panels painted, but I was going to airbrush the rest of the inside to get a great looking coat. Schedules didn't line up with a friend to have it painted.
3) I have 2 warjacks Base coated in blue and shadows/highlights about 75% done. Don't have any of the other colors I need to paint the rest of the models. I figure 2 mostly painted is better than one done.

No chance to finish anything, everything is packed up as I move tomorrow morning.

have a safe move, mate.

sparkywtf — GMT

Luckily its a short move. Moving 30 miles. Most of the stuff is packed into GW boxes and in will all my sprue and bits in rolling drawers, everything is packed tightly so nothing should jump around too much. And nothing painted is lose except my vendettas which won't be moving until a later date. Kinda scared to move them without foam.

Gonna suck not having a desk though. I have to find something I like at Ikea or something. Also my gaming budget is taking a hit... potentially a deep one.

Well.... here is how I did.

1 - Assemble, prime, paint and base FW Tau HQ - DONE
2 - Assemble, prime, paint and base Shadowsun HQ - DONE
(completes tau HQ slot).
3 - Complete repairs on Tau XV15 suits (about 8?). - DONE
4 - Finish paint scheme on Vespid - DONE
5 - Basecoat Tau XV15 suits - DONE
6 - Complete Stormraven comission - NOT DONE
7 - Finish necron terrain piece prototype - NOT DONE

I even completed the XV15s, and started repairing my vespid (I have no idea why....).
Got interrupted by needing to finish a few Nids for a big apoc game mid month, but overall pleased.
Also, now my tau HQ and Elite slots are 100%!!!

Will think about and post up my Sept list in a day or so!

Good luck to everyone else!

Great effort folks! Good job to those who were able to make it.

The ones that didn't.... I'm sorry but we'll need to incinerate your body so your soul can be used to help enhance the wards of Grey Knight armor as it is forged.

Here are September Vows
