Title: Spring Painting Challenge [Month 1/3]
Post by: Kitsune Tsuki on March 1, 2008, 06:47:54 PM
Welcome to the January Painting Challenge. We are now into the 2nd year of these, first under Loydb, Khemri Demon, Serious Callers Only 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 will update this post with a list of people who wish to vow.

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.  Vows are still accepted after the 10th, but they can not be changed afterward.

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.  It's perfectly fine if you don't post any photos, however.

3. I need to know unit sizes when you post your vows.



FAQ
Q: Do I have to do Games Workshop figs?
A: No. Several people make Warmachine vows, myself included.  Feel free to do vows based on any game system.

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...

Allright, I screwed up last month as I had a tournament to prepare for and I took chaos.  So same vow as last month.  Plus this is the spring challenge not the end of the winter challenge so hopefully I can get off to a good start.

Vow:

Two hammerheads and one Skyray. 

later WG

Post by: Kitsune Tsuki on March 10, 2008, 08:48:38 PM
Vows updated and locked. I changed my vows slightly. I'm hoping I can do it, but hesitant because most of the models are unprimed and I don't know if I'll get the chance due to the weather.

EDIT:Primed my scouts yesterday, got a nice spray of sunshine and moderate warmth.  Started on them today.  Just need to do the metals, and then a few touch ups here or there.  Otherwise done with the scouts.  Not fully happy with them.  I kind of speeded through them, but I want them done and decent looking.  I'm content but they could be better.  Again, I wanted them painted.

well after not painting for almost a month, I woke up and just had a huge painting bug!

So i just spent the last 8 hours working on my Warhound.

Finished the legs and finished the torso/shoulders.

just have to finish the guns, head and all the little cables and nozels to attach yet.


I am still pondering doing some freehand on the armor plating on the legs though, but not sure what!

well with the weather I haven't been able to go out to spray on the basecoat, so I've instead decided to do it manualy.. only the biggest brush I've got is a size 1 *slams head against the wall*

On the plus side, after about 7 hours over the course of the past 3 days, I've only got about 1/8th left of the monolith to basecoat!

Well I spent a good 16 hours over my 2 days off and pretty much finished my Warhound Titan (I got a serious painting bug)

Really all that is left is to figure out a name for it for all the name plaques. And then to do a base for it!  I will post some pictures later tonight.


edit


here is my proof!

Well its been a while since I posted an Update on my hellblades. I took a few weeks off from the project after finishing up the first so fast. Meanwhile I was able to scrap up some stands, and I finished the second one this weekend. With a few minor things left I should have this one DullMat this week and totally completed this week. I'll work on the bases maybe later on! Enjoy!

Edit - Finished!  ;D  \o/
