Winter Painting Challenge [Month 1/3]
« on: December 1, 2008, 04:22:30 AM »
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. We are now into the 3rd year of these, first under Loydb, Khemri, Serious Callers Only, Ffarquhar, Khemri again 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 afterwards.

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.  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 honour 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: But wait, isn't it summer?
A: Yes, yes it is. However, we must respect our crazed brothers in the northern hemisphere. They started this, after all.

I hereby vow to complete the following before the end of the month:

- 20 Dire Avengers
- 10 Storm Guardians + Warlock

A small amount of models cause it's my first time  ;)

Count me in for a repaint of 5 DA successor bikes. Just finished some minor conversions and retrofitting DA bling. After that it appears I have nothing left to paint again.

Vows updated.

I've been working on the Nobz for a few days already so they're about 50% done. The Warboss is assembled but only has one colour down so far. The DeffKoptaz aren't even off the sprue yet.

Seeing as I am trying to finish my Tau. I guess I'll vow that. I would to have it done by the end month if possibles.

Looking at:

48 Firewarriors
5 Pathfinders
5 Tanks
My Commander
And the finishing touches on three of my stealth team.

Here's a shot of what a finished model will look like:



Now to get everyone else looking that.....

i vow to finish my Christmas-themed GW run painting competition entry,

i know i've had some epic fails the last few months but the relaxation of deadlines in uni work and the added bonus of the comp should make this one easier :P

1 KFF Mek
15 Kommandos(including Nob/Nob converted to Snikrot)(10 converted from boyz, 2 with Burnas)
12 Lootas
10 Burnas
3 Meks
3 Nobz
38 Slugga Boyz
19 Shoota Boyz

All over the course of Xmas break.

Now, I'll probably run out of paint before I finish all this, so either until completion, or until I run out of paint ... or sanity... Whichever comes first.

Vows updated.

Changeyname - which model/models are you actually painting?

Bit more progress on my Nobz, and the Deffkoptaz are now built and magnetised onto their stands. I'm going away with work again as of tomorrow so no progress for a few days, and I ordered some more Aeronautica Imperialis planes so I may get sidetracked...  :)
