ALL VOWS MUST BE IN BY October 10th
Welcome to the Autmn Painting Challenge. We have been running these all year now under Loydb, Khemri Demon and now me. The goal of this challenge is to get some of that unpainted lead that most of us have laying around table-ready. At the start of each month, participants pledge to have a squad painted by the closing date.
I'll list vows made, name and praise those that make it and name and shame those that don't.
This one has run for September, now October and November. (Note that this is three one-month challenges, not one three-month challenge.)
Vows for October:
SeriousCallersOnly: Haemonculus + 5 incubi ;D
Kitsune-Tsuki: Seraph, 7 dire avengers ;D
Myung: 12 fire warriors, 1 devilfish ;D
Chaplain Harlean: Hellhound and heavy weapons team ;D

A squad, for the purpose of definition, would be anything that counted as a unit choice (e.g. HQ, Elite, Troop, etc.). This includes retinue for the independant char (e.g. familiars, bodyguards, etc.). I'd personally like to see multi-model squads -- the purpose of the challenge is to get a bunch of lead painted in a 3-month period -- but maybe you're planning on doing a kickass conversion/paint job for an army leader, nothing wrong with that.
RULES
1. Vows will be frozen 10 days after the start of the challenge. There is no changing of *any* vow after day 10. Say what you'll paint, then paint what you say. If you don't already own the models you want to paint, I suggest not making the vow until you do.
2. This is more of a request than a rule. *Please* post work in progress pics if you possibly can. One of the best things about the thread is watching stuff come together.
3. The model doesn't have to be texture based -- but the base must be painted.
4. Vows in parenthesis/brackets are essentially maybes and therefore won't count towards a fail if you don't do them.

Painting Challenge FAQ
Q: Do I have to do Games Workshop figs?
A: No. Several people make Warmachine vows. Since Warmachine doesn't use squads in the same way that 40K does, I suggest that it be at least a 3-man squad (Menoth Choir, etc.), or a warcaster + at least one warjack.
Q: I need to change my vow!
A: You have until Day 10 of the month.
Q: What if I don't have a camera?
A: We operate on the honor system. If you say you did it, we believe you. There are no prizes, so you only get the satisfaction of lying on the internet if you choose to do so.
Q: Will you do one of these every month?
A: That's the goal. Assuming the board manages to stay up
Q: Hey, what if we finish our vow but decide to paint more?
A: Paint away! If you mean, can you get a head start on next month, I guess so. But it's kind of cheesy to make a vow with a 75% painted unit at the start of the month...
Q: I want to paint a squad of Howling Banshees and a single Ranger. Is the Ranger legal?
A: Yes. The "must count as a troop choice" rule establishes the minimum. Anything above that doesn't have to conform, it's just bonus.
Q: When is the closing date?
A: The month runs with the calendar month. Vows freeze on the 11th.
Thanks to Loydb for getting this up and running (come back any time), and Khemri Demon for continuation. Lets see those vows.
I'll kick off....
SeriousCallersOnly: another 10 man raider squad (no raider for them until I get a sweet deal on ebay), haemonculus, (maybe 5 incubi)
-
Alright, another Seraph and a High Reclaimer model for me.
-
I vow to paint a 12 man Fire Warrior Squad and 1 Devilfish
I know that is rather small for me, but a few nights ago I was in m closet digging around for stuff to paint when I stopped and looked at the pile of boxes and blisters I have yet to build. SO I vowed I am not allowed to buy anymore 40k till all my stuff is built. So this is going to be mostly a building month for me. That almost takes as long! I spent 5 hours putting togther 12 Fire Warriors the other night
here is my pile o stuff to build...yes that's like $1,100 bucks worth of crap!

-
MYung, qhat do you do for a living that allows you to buy all those models? I'm guessing drug dealer or a doctor.
-
If he were a doctor he wouldn't have time to paint and build as much as he does. Drug dealer it is.
-
OK, i failed last month( :'() but this month i wont, so heres my vow: 1 hellhound and 1 heavy weapon team
-
i too failed last month, due to many unseen circumstances.. hoping to get back into it soon so ill figure out my plans and vow later on
-
Alright, my seraph is pretty much done. Just need to do the base, which is already half wat done. Not sure what else I want to vow. May vow a revenger light warjack too. Yeah, go throw that in there too.
-
Ok, I'm going for the Skull pass gobbos (no terrain)
Thats 40 spearmen
20 archers
1 troll
10 spider riders
shaman
general
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi86.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk92%2FScribble40k%2FSkull%2520Pass%2520Goblins%2FNightGoblinsBefore.jpg&hash=1d20a0c14c80dd538a88cc54025d52ed3bdd9f09)
and I'll also throw in 4 black orcs.
-
I vow to überpaint those seven Termies and perhaps (((the Chaplain)))... ;D
That´s not much, I realise, but a lot for me... :-[

-
Well, I had to quit the last challenge thanks to my mock exams, but now I'm back on track. I vow a Dwarf Thane and 15 Longbeards.
-
ok i vow to have the rest of my wardancers finished which makes a total squad of 8 and seeing as how there is a school holiday this month i might be able to be more optimistic and also pledge 5 ork nobz and my WE army standard bearer
-
If he were a doctor he wouldn't have time to paint and build as much as he does. Drug dealer it is.
lol you guys got it all wrong!
I don't deal drugs, but what I do is I sell 3rd world children on the black market!
lol but no really I am a mng for Fedex.
-
-Wood Elf wardancer unit (7 w/command)
-1 Wood Elf BSB
-Raven Gaurd Dreadnought
-
Whats that, 10 vows in? Brisk business again, nice to see so many returners from last month.
Big vow for scribble this month.
Nicolai, I did termies and the same chappie a couple of months back if you'd like a look.
I'll update the vow list when I get a minute.
-
I hereby vow to paint the following in the month of October:
10 Kasrkin Stormtroopers
3 Heavy weapons squads, heavy bolter, lascannon, autocannon
16 guardsmen
That's it...and no new models until they're done. The Leman, Chaos Marines, and Chimera are on the table for November.
Pics coming soon...as soon as I find the time and a server to put them up on.
-
hey bigboss youre painting up the same things as i am well with the exception of my 5 nobz lol wierd huh?
-
I vow to paint Boomhowler and Company, which consists of 10 Trolls...
...Im never going to use them, but shockingly enough... Im actually RUNNING OUT of things to paint!
*Cue Horror music*
::Edit:: Im gonna tack on 6 Preatorians and Lord Tyrant Hexeris as well.
-
I'm gonna go out on a limb and vow :) I'll finish the ranger squad that I started months ago for a vow but shelved due to work.
loyd
-
I don't have acces to a camera atm but I will do my best to arrange something to get my minis online.
I have this MKIV dreadnought lying around here. Just ordered it from forgeworld and basecoated it till now. I will start with that one. Next to that I have a inquisitor model lying around here. [The special character.] which I will also start painting if my dread is done.
I am currently painting a whole deamonhunters army, so any motivation is welcome hehe.
-
Vows updated.
How many rangers loydb?
Well, I've cleaned, assembled and undercoated.
-
Changed my mind. Instead of the High Reclaimer and revenger, I'm doing seven Dire Avengers. The eighth will be the exarch, but want to see the new codex before I give him weapons.
-
I was being purposefully vague about the exact numbers ;D
It will be at least the required 3 minimum for a squad...
-
So far I've done this little bunch. They were pretty quick to paint and my drybrush the cloaks cop-out will probably save my sanity later on this month when I'm brushing my way through the other 70+ models ;D
Not any great shakes by any means but decent enough for the table I s'pose ;)

-
Alright, lets have a crack at this again, I'm gonna vow 3 Ratlings Snipers, 10 Praetorian Guardsmen and a Gatling Gun.
-
Established the colorscheme, according to my Blood Brothers chapter. Made the basecolor on a single so far, making the rest in a bunch, a color at a time.

Vows updated.
Still keeping the seraph in kitzune? and is the exarch in or no?
@ Gravis - I think you are the only other member in Devon - I'm up near Exmoor.
@ Scribble and Nicolai - Nice work fellas. Good start. Like the troll.
-
I already did the second seraph. I finished it the night I vowed it. Forgot to mention that. Only seven avengers, no exarch. Just a regular avengers with shuriken catapults.
-
Updated news, got most of the primary colours done by now. And I expect to fullfill my vow before Friday. I will ask Rogue-Angel of this forum if he can bring along his camara.
-
No everybody, it's okay, I didn't fall in a well. Last month was my first time not vowing anything, so this month I vow to paint 15 zombies.
-
can i enter an 8 man squad of word bearers - 1 with power fist and plasma pistol, and 7 guys with bolt pistol and chainswords, and ill also enter my new forgeworld dreadnought (word bearers of course)
cheers
-
5 dark reapers and a wraithlord
-
I'd like to change my vow from a Thane and 15 Longbeards to a Thane and a Basilisk (I've decided to indulge my love for this piece of artillery by getting one).
-
My vow will probably not be completed, as I just took up two different independent studies. Suffice to say, my free-time is kinda a premium nowadays.
-
I vow to paint 4 striking scorpions + an Exarch. They've been undercoated for a few months now, time they saw some green..
-
i here vow to paint my new eldar wraithlord (from games day) and build and paint 5 of the new dire avengers (also from games day)
this is an awful lot for me as i only get a few hours a week to paint so i will try to do this vow but may only paint the wraithlord and build the avengers, but we shall see how it goes
o0onaikeeo0o
-
Vows updated.
I too am finding painting time pretty slim at the moment. No progress since undercoating and I've applied for a management job, so will probably get even busier soon. I'll try and put in some time this weekend.
Keep those WIP photos coming guys. If I can't enjoy painting my own stuff, at least I'll enjoy watching yours.
4 days to vow.
-
Not the best picture (yeah, it sucks tbh), but a quick progress update - 25 gobbo spearmen painted.
Think I'll be giving them a break and paint the spider riders next.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi86.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk92%2FScribble40k%2FSkull%2520Pass%2520Goblins%2FGoobounitplus5.jpg&hash=bcb878261edf8f8c6657bdfc6fa03ae6be9e2968)
-
Right. Last July I vowed, and I failed miserably. This time I am going to get serious. I vow to finish my Falcon (which means at the very least, the body and the turret) and three Swooping Hawks, of which I have done half a one already.
*Cuts hand over keyboard with ceremonial vowing knife*
-
Update:
5 Kasrkin with cloth and armor color done. Boltgun Metal on weapons/other done. 4 Awaiting Vallejo Russain Green, cloth done.
Plasma Gunner Kasrkin was completely finished last night, and went down on the terrain table, where all my painted stuff goes [like to watch the army grow in its natural environment]
3 guardsmen: 2 with cloth color, one sgt with a German officer cap made by Dragon out of vinyl, head painted, green/khaki/boltgun phase complete.
Heavy Weaps: autocannon team and bolter team with cloth color.
Next Update...next week 10/13. Pics coming as soon as I get my camera back.
-
Missed last month's challenge , damn .
My vow for this month - 5 x Warp Spiders
1 x Warp Spider Exarch
3 x Wraithguard
3 x Swooping Hawks
1 x Swooping Hawk Exarch .
-
I need to figure out my Eldar, and get some practice in (I've only painted Harlequins in the last 5 years, all in August.)
So:
16 x Guardians (waiting for Hvy Wpn Platform with box)
Have to see if I can pull of a Green and Red theme without looking like Santa's Space Helpers Craftworld.
-
Well I have all 2k points worth of Tau Built. Took me about 10 days and my thumb is all cut to hell. So no more building or painting for a few days as I can't do either really well with a bandaid on....
-
How do you cut your thumb cutting out plastic?
-
It's easy. When trimming you hold the piece and you cut towards your thumb. Now this isn't hard, nor a hard cut but when you do it about 5,000 times while making sure your mold lines and iddy bits are clean well you eventaully wear down the skin there :p
34 Firewarriors, 5 battlesuits, 6 stealthsuits, 12 kroot, 20 something drones, 3 pirahanas, 2 devilfish and 2 hammerheads. well that is a lot of cleaning ;)
-
All Righty Then! First time here so lets see...
* searching noise *
4 Necron Destroyers! It's sadly all I have model wise. :'(
Being a Newbie sucks. Although I did get them for £19 off e-Bay :D
-
Vows updated.
We now have whopping 23 vows in, mostly eldar (*cough* new codex *cough*), which I believe is a record for this thread. 2 days left to vow.
I, however, am making so little progress that I have downgraded my vow to a haemonculus and 5 incubi. How long can it take to paint 5 guys decked head to toe in black armour? I'll do the raider squad if and when I finish my vowed minis.
-
Vows updated.
We now have whopping 23 vows in, mostly eldar (*cough* new codex *cough*), which I believe is a record for this thread. 2 days left to vow.
Not to mention sales on the models that are being redone.
Anyways, I've built my Avengers, and starting priming, but ran out of spray paint. On the three that I finished priming, I got the body & helmets done. Started the tabards as well.
-
Okay, I'm geting cold feet, and the time to get cold feet is when there is still time to change your vow. I vow to get 3 Swooping Hawks done, and the Exarch, but not the Falcon (the more I do of that Falcon, the more afraid I am of doing something wrong).
*re-cuts hand over ceremonial band-aids*
-
Oooh i'll try this again! I vow to paint 15 Night Lords and one Dreadnaught. (maybe ill actualy get something done unlike the last two times i made vows :P)
-
just figured out that I will not be using my old reapers sooooo I should edit my vow while I still can, I will instead of my old vow paint 5 eldar guardians, 2 support platforms (with crew if I have time), and a warlock.
-
I'd like to vow to paint my Black Templar Command Squad...meant to do it last month, but moved out...still....got loads of time now!!!
-
Okay, so I started my Wardancers (finally) but all I did was prime them and start the first layer of flesh. Shame, but I should get more time in this week.
-
vow finished ;D. I will maybe put some pics up later
-
3 Avengers done, 4 more to go. I've decided to not put on the tabards after many battles with keeping them glued on.
Unfortunately, my spray paint died on me, so I need to go get more. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some spray paint, and if the weather warms up a little, I may be able to be done by the end of the week.
-
Lets see. So far I've nearly finished 2 Destroyers and I'm working on the 3rd! It's not the usual 'Spray Silver' Necrons though; Mine are slightly camp and have a preference for Purple! ;D
-
Pictures of my Avengers and my Seraph-
Avengers (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=123849.new#new)
Seraph (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=123847.0)
The seraph is the one on the rock. The picture is towards the bottom. The other seraph is from last month.
-
well i didnt vow this time but ill get some pics of my reapers up once theyre done.. just got to finish the gems and stuff, fix up any mistakes and paint the weapons. well, and bases i guess
-
Vows updated and locked.
So, 25 in this month, one completed so far (well done Chaplain Harlean).
I've finally managed to make a start on mine, done the helmets on the incubi and started on the haemonculous. I'll get more done today, as my kids are away. Might even get a game in (first game with the dark eldar, probably vs my bro's DH, first game at all in 3 months actually). Maybe post some wips later.
-
right, the dreadnought is finished and its just details and shoulder pads left to do on the tactical squad.
heres some pics, sorry theyre a bit blurry, but they were taken on my mobile -

hmmmm i think ive been to optimistic this month and im afraid its likely il have a frowny face against my name for the first time so far. well this thing arrived , this treeman thing and ive just had to start painting it, i will be able to get the wardancers done but i think it will be the nobz and the standard bearer that remain their beautiful silver colour that i so adore >:(
-
A true master would get it all finished and would never have left the great state of Ohio! Long live the Imperium!
-
S'up Dudes. Finally gotten those Destroyers finished, but due to the rather 'inclement' weather, haven't been able to get any decent pics :-\. If the weather lets up for atleast a half hour, I'll see what I can do.
I've also got another Destroyer, Destroyer Lord and Lord on Foot in the Production line.
Great work so far Dudes and good luck!
@ Hellboy: Those are some be-atching models. Especially the Dread! 8)
-
Yeah, I have had basically no painting time this month/ I don't need any of the units for my armies as it turns out so I'm just gonna try and finsih the wardancers and accept my frownie face of doom next to my name. Such a shame.
-
*sigh* I'm afraid I underestimated the awesome power of FFVI. I'm sorry. I am not even going to finish the falcon in time. Once I'm in Turkey....
-
I'm definitely going to get a big frowny face o' Doom this month.
Work and r/l has intruded heavilly this month meaning no painting time since the last update waay back at the start of the month. I was going great guns at it too. :(
Ah, well will try for something next month if things settle down a little. :-[
-
*** NEWS FLASH ***
I painted something today :) Got the green finished on my Rangers (looking like a 3-man squad atm).
-
Well, I've finished the Thane, pics later, but I won't be able to get basilisk done in time, thanks to Forgeworld, because I still don't have the Vanheim-Pattern Gunshield I ordered.
-
I can't believe people are giving up with 8 days left in the month. I just have some finishing touches on my zombies to do.
-
Yes, I'm still here. Didn't make much progress the last couple of weeks (stupid work) but now getting there. Should finish on time. Three incubi are pretty much complete, two are half done and the haemie is half done. WIPs later. Lot of folks making excuses already.
-
Just finished painting my Ranger's rifles, I decided to go with a wraithbone look. I need to do the bases next, then work on highlighting and shading the underbody suit, then do the heads and I'm done!
-
*weeez pant pant*
Hexeris and all 10 of the Trollkin are done. Now just 4 more Preatorians to finish and I will be done!
....Course painting the full Magnus Box Set in addition to everything else certainly slowed me down. ;D
-
lol dang new DoW xpac has eaten all my painting time this month. the game is addicting!
but I sat down lastnight to finally start my Tau when I realised I bought 2 pots fo the wrong green! ACK
so I am going to the store tomorrow and I am off the next 3 days so I WILL get it done!
but lol way to wait till the last second.
-
WIPs as promised. Since taking the photo I cracked on last night and finished all on the incubi but the highlights on the armour and basing. The Haemonculous.....I'm not so happy with. Not pleased with the skin tone, not sure whether to make the chest bare (more skin, bah) or armoured, not happy with the robe colour. *sigh*
And a reminder to all that there is less than a week to complete vows. The challenge closes at midnight tuesday GMT. We had a large number of vows this month - lets see some completes.

-
Nice work serious - makes me all the more embarrassed I haven't done mine.
As it stands, its 4 black orcs, 25 gobbo spearmen, troll, gobbo general, bsb, and the shaman all done - unfortunately leaving 20 archers, 15 spearmen and 10 spider riders all unfinished (bar base coat, and inisital drybrush on spearmen).
Still stowed off with work, so next month maybe, but will have to go more modest as I did bite a little more off than I could chew this month. :-[
-
OK, I'm happy with the haemie now. Amazing what some brown ink will do. Went with leather for the torso and arms.
Highlight armour on the incubi, odds and ends on the haemonculous, base and I'm done. Should finish by the weekend.
-
I like the way those are looking Serious.
Just finished doing the paint on the ranger bases. I'll hold off on the static grass until I'm done with the rest of the paint.
I'm torn between playing WoW tonight or painting...
-
ach, they look better now. Finished the haemie too. Just basing left. I'm tempted to shade the white on the incubi, but I know I'll arse it up, and its looking nice just now.
-
*VOW FINISHED*
Yup, got the remaining 4 Dire Avengers done.
Also this month, I painted Kreoss, eKreoss, the High Reclaimer, and a ruin terrain piece.
-
Forgot this one

-
DONE!
Whew, just finished the bases of my Preatorians. This vow has deffinitly taken the longest out of all of the vows I have done, but I did take a big dive for it. The full Boomhowler unit was the hardest, each model has a large amount of detail put into it, and they are fairly large models to begin with.
Hexeris was pretty cool, and I also redid his base and gave him little souls coming out of the ground and circling around him, like Epic Asphyxious.
Next month... 4 More Preatorians, Old Witch of Khador+Scrapjack, and 5 Zealots.
-
I'm in the home stretch. I've got to go back and do a little metallic drybrush work on some equipment, paint some eye detail, and highlight various gems -- hope to have it finished tomorrow, and some pics. I'm glad I vowed this month, it had been too long since I'd painted...
loyd
-
ok so on Saturday with not a single stroke of paint on a mini I decided I better get started lol!
It took me about 4 hours to get my test mini done for the fire warriors I am going to do for my army. After taking that long I said fubar that and made some easier steps and managed to finish the other 11 before I left for work on Sunday. Just gotta put some static grass on the bases and they will be 100% done. I must say they look rather sexy. Now to finish the devilfish! Which I think I can finish before I go to work on Monday night!
nothing like waiting till the last moment and the guilt building up to pout a fire under yer bum to paint for 12 straight hours!
-
Done and done, finished basing last night. Will post pics today or tomorrow.
-
I'm not gonna make it... :'(
To much work.. :P
-
Just tonight and tomorrow to finish guys. As before, I'll close the challenge and compile the smiley faces/frowny faces tomorrow night (midnight GMT) Thread for November will open for vows either tomorrow night of wenesday evening.
Lets see some completed pics!
-
Well , your going to have to put a big , fat frowny face next to my name . Moved over the weekend and my Hawks will not be done on time . At least I got an extra 2 Spiders done ......
-
There's also going to a frowny face next to my name, as I've only completed one of the 4 Striking scorpions from my vow and not touched the Exarch. Making this vow at the start of a new term with 3 courses to lecture was always going to be tough.
However, those guys have been sat in boxes or on my shelf for over 12 years, so I'm glad that this vow has finally kick-started my painting. I'll post a pic of the one completed scorpions once I've finished the base later tonight.
-
Just finished my metallics, all that's left is touchup, some gem work, and some eyes.
-
Based and done. Not much different from the last phot, some slight highlights on the black armour and sand on the bases. I'll try to get another pic up, but pretty much as the last one.
-
Here are the pics of my one completed scorpion:

As I mentioned above, it's the first thing I've painted in 12 years, so I'm a little rusty...
-
Well, unfortunately I must admit defeat, while I got my Thane painted, beautifuly I might add (probably because of the next factor), the basilisk parts I ordered from Forgeworld still haven't arrived, so it's sitting in its box.
[mutter]Express Shipping my foot.[/mutter]
-
Finished! Letting the paint cure before hitting it with a clearcoat. My favorite parts of these are the trenchcoats and the bases.

Merlyn, I like that dark green scorpion scheme, it looks good with the red (xmas eldar!). You could kick it up a bit if you went back and did the gems on the swords, maybe in a blue to match the pants.
loyd
-
Thanks Loyd, much appreciated. I had considered making more of the gems on the chainswords, but had just wanted to actually finish the model within the month in the end. I've got another 3 to go, so I'll dabble with blue gems on them and see how they look. The idea that I've painted striking scorpions in the colours of christmas elves hadn't struck me before, but now you've mentioned it..
I liked the rangers, especially the bases - that's something I'm definitely going to look into with my next squad.
-
OK, the challenge is closed. Check the front page for your smily face or sad face. I make it 8 confirmed completes, which is frankly crap considering how many vows were made. Well done to those that made it.
Anyone else want to claim their smily and think I've missed them, last chance to post.
Any more finished photos, lets see them.
I'll be taking vows for November on a new thread, opening tomorrow (too tired tonight)
-
ok done with my vow!
another close one but I was lazy and didn't paint a thing till saturday night!
here they are!

Novembers vow will more atune to my normal load as I spent most of October building. I did build like 2k Tau and 1,500 of necrons but I still have boxes and boxes to build, but frak that as I hate building!
ah these vows do help the guilt factor in making me paint so I do love em

Nice and Halloweeny, Marsh. :)
-
Unfortunately, the IG squads took a back seat to a squad of Slugga Boyz, Shoota Boyz and a Warboss. So while not fulfilling my vows, I did get a lot of great painting done anyways. :(
-
Smileys updated
Well done myung and MGT, both looking good. Love the bullet wounds.
I'll open the november vow later.

Lockin er up... Work harder folks. ;D
