ALL VOWS MUST BE IN BY November 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, October and now November. (Note that this is three one-month challenges, not one three-month challenge.)

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
-
Since my Guard are still back home (:'( I'm having withdrawels) I'll vow five High Elf Silver Helms. (If I'm really zealous, I'll do ten.)
-
I'm in for finishing up my Wraithlord. It's got a base coat down, but a lot of work to go.
loyd
-
I vow to paint 10 guardsmen and 5 hardened veterans (maybe 2 guards with plasmaguns and an officer).
-
Will not fail again this month >:( .
Vow - 5 Eldar Jetbikes , Guardian Heavy Weapon Platform and 4 Dire Avengers .
That should be enough :-\ .
-
Just a Totem Hunter(Hordes) from me.
-
Sign me up for a wave serpant (already primed) and 2 war walkers (on order). If I have the time, I'll also finish my last 3 fire dragons (primed) if the holidays don't get in the way.
-
Let's see, this month I'll vow...
*Rummages through bitz box, turns up very little*
Uh, a Space Marine Captain, and five Assualt Terminators (relics from my failed Deathwing attempt).
This is essentially a filler vow until next month, when I'll have a whole Space Wolf Battleforce to do. Although my end of year exams start next month as well, so we'll see how that turns out.
-
ok time to paint!
12 Firewarriors
10 Pathfinders
1 Devilfish
1 Hammerhead
1 Skyray/hammerhead
1 Battlesuit Commander
that is for my sure stuff, if I get to it I will hit up...
3 Pirahanas, 5 Battlesuits, 12 more Firewarriors and 6 Stealthsuits!
-
Hmmmmm....
8 Vostroyans
Heavy Bolter Team.
I'll post pictures when i'm finished.
-
I'm vowing 10 ghosts for sure, and if I have time, 10 wraiths (undead not necron)
-
I will stick with my vow from the PPS site and add a few more things...
5 Zealots, 2 Cylcops and the Old Witch and Scrapjack.
-
Well, since I was overly ambitious last month, I hereby am scaling back my vows.
4 Grots
8 Shoota Boyz
6 Slugga Boyz
Thats eighteen models. If I finish one per day, I'll make it. As a bonus, the camera is working, and I can post some pics of the WIP. Oh, and the Warboss is almost done, along with 15 sluggaz and 8 shootas. That's why I didn't make my vow last month!
-
OK, I'll call it as unofficial paint my flying troops month and pledges
7* Seraphim
8* Swooping Hawks
-
I vow to finish the Wave Serpent that's been sitting in its box for too long.
-
Vows updated, 15 in so far. Good to see so many returners, and a few new faces. I'll be away for a couple of days, so don't expect any updates for a bit. Off for a weekends gaming as it happens, using deathwing and dark eldar, both of which painted throught these vows over the last year.
See, it gets things done.

update though
Devilfish is done and the 10 pathfinders are about 60% done.

I'm aiming for 20, but I doubt I'll have that many done.

I'm done. I finished my totem hunter. Pictures up soon. I like how he came out, but done't like it at the same time. He came out some what as I envisioned, but still not fully so. I may go back and change some details. Either way I'm done.

yesh and I thought I was fast!
gj on finishing your vow, maybe if you're so fast next time make the vow a bit bigger ;)
I am done with my Devilfish and all 10 Pathfinders now. gunna start on the Commander now, not sure if I will go Sept colors on him (ie all red) or the normal colors for Vi'orla
and damn not being able to sleep! I just bought myself and airbrush and compressor! the things we do to keep our crack habit rolling smoothly.
-
Heh, it was a quick job. I want a gaming piece, not a display piece. There aren't many highlights on him though. I plan to vow something else, not sure what though. I'll see if I can pick anything new up at my store this weekend.
-
Yeah, quickness is nice.
Got 6 Vostroyans done and started on the HB team.
Pics when squad is finished. I'm not to fond of WIP pics.
-
Damn , going to modify my vow slightly .
Change to 4 Jetbikes please . Number 5 is actually for my Autarch , which will be a later vow . rolled a 1 on the "Stay in 1 Piece Test " >:( .
-
I've got the Wraithlord based, basecoated, and have airbrushed on some highlights. I'll post some wip later today.
-
ok I am halfway done with my for sure vow!
done
10 pathfinders, 1 devilfish and 1 commander
50% done on Hammerhead
left to do is
12 firewarriors and my hammerhead/skyray combo
sorry I don't do WIP pics as I hate stopping to paint to take pictures! lol
-
My wave serpant is finished with the exception of the chin turret. I'm waiting on my codex to decide between twin cats and a cannon.
War walkers are primed. Very cool models, but I suspect that they will be very complicated to paint.
-
Im almoust done with my vypers, and are going to start on my guardians shortly.
but i have to cut my autarch from my wov, as some of the pieces for the convertion are running late...
-
For me:
10x guardians + platform and team
3x Banshees and Exarch
Can I make that 3 Warlocks and a second platform team instead!
Sorry, My vow starts from NOW, Post pics of my Guardians on Monday - I promise!
-
Tiny update:
HB team finished. I'll post pics of the squad so far later. (8 Models)
-
Wow, I've really blitzed this vow, I've finished four of the terminators, started work on the sergeant, and I just need to do the detail work on the captain.
-
ahh im still stuck on what color to paint my terminators
-
Sign me up please. Here's my vow.
Right what I need to get on with.
Part painted - need to finish *WIPs to come asap*

Vows updated
harbinger, levett and elessar, I need to know how many minis for your vows.
Congrats to kitzune for being first to finish - 3 days to vow some more if you like.
Loydb - have I seen that wraithlord before? I think the base looks familiar.
As for me, zero progress on the jetbikes. In fact, I'm considering dropping them and vowing something else as they were so useless in the game I played at the weekend that they may well be banished to the bottom of the box.
Up to 27 vows, another busy month. Lets see if we can get more completes this time. Think I'll start naming and shaming those who haven't posted a progress report by, lets say, the 20th?
-
Here's my rhino, its nothing special, but necessary for my Army.
Front:

I got this one done last night, and I'll have the Squad done by next week (touch wood) so the defiler had to be added on to the vow.
-
Yeah, I started this months ago. I posted the base to illustrate why you should wash resin before painting (all the paint peeled off).
-
10 dire avengers
thnx,
Telemnar
-
Red Scorpion Terminator Captain - Artorius - 1 Model
Red Scorpion Terminator Assault Squad - 5 Models
-
I have painted a Guardian last night, but it took me ages because I know I will be taking a photo of of them and posting on here! (at least I'll have a nicely painted squad) :) I should have the 10 done by mon!
@Hellboy, dont know if it's just my computer but your photos dont seem to be working
[EDIT] it was just me, working now, good work bt the way!
-
Throw in Thagrosh, Prophet of Everblight for me as well.
-
And I'm done, vow finished.
-
Ok, why not. It might just stimulate me to work faster.
I will finish my autarch and paint 6 men (rather women) of howling banshees
-
@ Mart007
cheers, its a bit boring, but as i said, its nesessary.
im going to put some ruinous scriptures on it, and make some rags with sorcerous wards written on them to count as mutated hull should i ever want to use the upgrade. i thought it would be more to the liking of the word bearers.
-
Vows updated and locked.
28 in then. 20 days to paint your vows folks, 10 days to post an update (with WIPS if you can) I'll be *reminding* anyone we haven't heard from by the 20th.
At this rate I'll be the first to be named and shamed. Painted nothing this month yet. I have assembled a bunch of warriors and a raider though.
-
Started my Termi captain. Will post WIP's later today. 5 hours and i got his eye gems / shoulder pad done... woot.
-
Finally managed to get some painting done - still needs some work, but you get the idea. Now just need to paint 5 more.

/cry
I'm on the road for a week on business. When I get home, I not only have to finish my wraithlord for this vow, but also a couple of pieces for my privateer vow.
loyd
-
Thagrosh finished. Pictures up shortly.
Thagros and Totem Hunter (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=125566.new#new)
-
/cry
I only painted a Hammerhead this whole week!
think my subconcious mind doesn't want to start anything else new till I get my air brush in the mail as I hate doing base coats! HATE IT HATE IT bad bad base coats, base coats make me crazy!
mwhahah
CRAZY!
but all that's left now is the last Hammerhead with Skyray bits(which I finished magnetizing the missles on the wings) and a 12 man FW squad.
I used my painted minis for the first time this past week at my store and got quiet a few oohhs and ahhhs, and a lot of "it's nice to see a differently painted tau army for once!" made me feel good. made the voices quiet down just alittle!
-
As far as my vow goes, I'm sticking with it....
Originally I think it was 8 sluggas, 8 shootas, and 4 grots.
Well, one shoota is done. A slugga is done. A grot, finished.
In the meantime, I have totally distracted myself with a Tac Squad of Ultras and Tigurius, which are coming out just gorgeous. All that highlighting on the Orks was good practice for fine lining power armor!
Back to the green horde, though. I swear I'll get this done by the end of the month, so help me.
-
Pics to follow shortly.
Painting has taken a tumble in the last few days. Buildings arrived for my CoD board... you can follow the link in my sig. *nudge nudge*
Also parts to make my wolf scouts arrived do they needed mocking up so I could make decisions on poses.
Pics soon.

Basic colours on the hull are done, no edging or highlighting yet. The driver's mostly done but still need to do some details inside the cockpit (no, the hull isn't glued together yet).
And yes, I know the forcefield generators are the wrong way around. I superglued one set on, then looked at the next ones and went "oh, bum." You can't tell at first glance... :-\
-
Ok some updates.
Wolf guard body guard
Started highlighting the face. Scroll is done (unless some one has a good tip... other than text, as this will be done at the very end).
Still a long way to go :(

Still loads to do. Fingers crossed I think they will be finished by month end.

And yes, I know the forcefield generators are the wrong way around. I superglued one set on, then looked at the next ones and went "oh, bum." You can't tell at first glance... :-\
What do you mean? All the official GW pics have the generators on that way, and that's they way I put mine on.
I've got one war walker cockpit remaining, and a bunch of guns (4x starcannon, 2x scatter lasers, 1x shuriken cannon). Also those three fire dragons I stupidly included in the vow and haven't even started on yet.

I mean that the longest one is actually in the middle, not at the back - the gems don't line up like they're meant to.

Ahh, yeah, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. I've actually done that on both of my serpants, but, luckily, I caught the mistake before the plastic cement dried. It really doesn't look bad that way, and only someone very familiar with the model would ever know it wasn't supposed to be that way.

Iight, pic update. Not the best painter but it's getting there. Only 8 of the 10 done so far.

Flamer. Undiecided on the gun color. It will stay primed until i find a good color, and who knows when that will be.

OK, first half of the vow
8 Hawks now completed. Table ready, basic bases, and a gloss varnish for protection. The Exarch was not actually part of the vow, as I had done him before.

I'm even worse at the photgraphy than I am at the painting but they are all there.

oh dear
just for peoples info, i might not be able to finish my Avengers within the month. I'm well under way with a Bonesinger for a local painting comp. I'll post pics a little later.

Oh and update:

lol I was so thinking the same thing when I looked at them Serious!
update for me. I finally got my airbrush and after wasting some nice and cheap GW paint (lol) I got it to work. So all and I mean ALL of my Tau is based. Got a tournement tomorrow but on Sunday I plan on finishing my last Hammerhead/skyray. After that all that is left from the main vow is 12 Firewarriors.
-
As per my wow. Autarch WIP

I still have 3 fire dragons to paint, but I probably won't get to that until after Thanksgiving weekend.
-
Just some basing to do and I'm done.
-
Update time. I've done 3 reavers, basecoated 2 more. Photos later (optimistic). Work is likely to get fairly hectic this week, so I'll look in when I can.
Thanks for WIPs/progress reports so far. As threatened, here's those that have vowed then posted nothing:
Inquisitor Sethtus: 5 HE Silver Helms
Chaplain Harlean: 10 guardsmen, 5 hard. vets (2 plasma guards + officer)
Evil Toast: 4 jetbikes, guardian platform, 4 DA
Yentz: 5 Zealots, 2 Cylcops and the Old Witch and Scrapjack
Chris Little: 10 Necron warriors
OmegaOne: Avatar, 2 vypers
Warsmith Jozzack: 5 terminators
scoutsniper: 5 GK and librarian
firebirdv8: 7 dire avengers
The harbinger: tactical marines and snipers (how many?)
Elessar Telemnar: 10 Dire avengers
Come on then, how are these vows going? Everyone likes the progress photos, so lets see them.
-
someone could have told me that defilers are the biggest pain in the a$$ to paint! after painting a rhino in one night, i recieved the defiler a day or two later, undercoated it, stuck it together (thats where i maed the big mistake) and now its taking ages. i have the silver and the red on the bottom half of him, i just have to do the black ink, some tidying up after that, then the red ink goes on.
after i finished the last challenge so easily, i set my sights on a vow that was maybe slightly out of my reach. but we'll see.
sorry i havent put any WiPs on for a while, illl try to do some tonight, its because i recently got a new mobile and the sony ericson software is a bit of a pain in the ass.
-
It might so happen that I have to revise my wow. It is not certain yet, but I may have to paint entire DE battleforce. If I do I will have to postpone my banshees until I finish dark eldars
-
Wonderful work all.
And those Eldar make me want to collect them.
-
Finished, i hopefully will get my camera back soon so I can post pics
-
Finished my Screamers.......I mean ghosts last night, and took pics tonight

Shannon, my girlfriend, and yes, I do have a girlfriend, who will for ever be known as Shannon, says that something is missing from them but can't figure out what, so that's where yous come in.
-
I am all done with my vow!
prob will pick off a few things from my maybe list.
Unfortunatly I cannot post pictures as I loaned my camera to a friend who is on vacation till the first week of december!
-
Aaaargh.... this bleedin' vow. I've moved no further. Been busy with so many thing including my terrain project.
I'm going to concentrate on getting the wolf guard finished. Maybe get some done this weekend - hopefully finish it. I will move straight back onto the grey hunters after that.
Looks like I might be getting named and shamed at the end. :'(

Latest pic - hull and bits, just the details and one or two odd bits to do now. Hoping to finish on time!
-
I'm down to gems and decals on my wraithlord. Pics soon.
edit: Woke up at 5 this morning, couldn't go back to sleep. Vow complete :-\
Letting it cure overnight, then will do varnish. I'll post pics when it's clearcoated.
-
Got my ofsted inspection out of the way, back on the painting again. 3 down, 2 nearly down (ready to ink), succubus still to start.
-
Done! I must admit that I lost a bit of enthusiasm for this one when I saw the new Wraithlord box, but I'm overall pleased with it. The shoulder weapon is mounted with magnets for easy swappage.

Hull gems and edging are done except for the bigger stones, and the cockpit is assembled. I'm trying to work out a way to magnetise the turret weapons, but if that doesn't happen I'll just blutack them on...
-
must you dick around with photoshop loydb? looks like an illustration now. You're spoiling all the WIP fun.
-
Umm, the only thing done in photoshop was the background knocked out and a small dropshadow (well, and resized down from 12 megapixels.) Sorry if it bothers you, but I fail to see how a dusty backdrop enhances the image.
edit: Is it the dropshadow that bugs you? Is this better?
edit2: Great ghosts btw, Marshall

-
ah, I thought you had photoshopped the actual mini. the 2nd photo looks more real. I think it was the black outline and grey background that made it look like a cartoon or illustration. It doesn't bother me as such, just thought it detracted from your painting.
-
I think anything airbrushed tends to look a lot more "illustrated". I'm not a fantastic artist, but I started airbrushing scale models (planes mostly) over 20 years ago, so I can put down a nice coat or two if I put my mind to it. It's not really practical for human-sized figures, but it rocks for vehicles...
I can see your point about the dropshadow, it makes the whole thing look like it was blacklined. Look in the thread on airbrush paint, there's a picture of it sitting amidst some paint bottles that's the most "real" I guess.
loyd

WIP for the Avatar - and sorry for the lousy quality of the pictures - didnt have a good cam available :/

Nice clean job Rob. Looks good.
Omega, you should have kept your mouth shut. Now all I can see is bacon! :) Mmmmm. Bacon.
-
I shame myself here. Vow failed. I will re-take it on the next challenge and try to succeed as I need them painted.
:'(
-
I think I will be failing this month...
I got distracted painting other models instead.
-
Aye, I too will bring shame upon me and my ancestors by not completing this vow. With only 2 days left before the end of this month, I wont be able to complete it. :(
To make it all worse - now I have 20 dire avengers,10 Warp Spiders, 10 Banshees, a Prism tank, a Waveserpent, 6 jetbikes, 2 heavy weapon platforms, an autarch and 2 farseers to paint :/
-
:D
I'm done, seven seraphim now completed. Will post photos when the camera batteries are charge.
-
I have to revise my wow. I completed an autarch as promised, however banshees will be postponed. Instead as a part of Iron painter competition, which incidentally I won ;) I painted entire tyranid battleforce - assembled and completed all in 2.5 days. I will post pictures as soon as I get my camera back
-
OK folks, 2 days to finish vows.
I'm not seeing many completes here.....Get your claims in by midnight GMT tomorrow, with pics if you can.
As for mine, I have 5 reavers finished and just the highlights on the succubus. Another hour ow two and I'm done. Pics later.
Start thinking about december vows.
-
Finished up my Fire Dragons last night. I only painted 3 this month, but took a picture of the whole squad:

-
Vow update!
Originally, the plan was to get the rest of the Ork horde done. Well, I got about ten percent into it...and started a new project.
So once again, although the vow was for Orks, and it was too late to change, I am somehow justifiying by listing what I did get painted this month:
Tigurius, painted to a display stnadard.
Razorback, nearly finished (highlights, lining, and weathering, 1-2 hours total)
Squad of 6 very high quality Ultramarines, including sgt with extras.
Conversion of a Reaper mini to an imperial priest. Complete with chainsword and grenades.
Assembly of a Tau Fire Warrior team.
Base colors on some Skull Pass Dwarves and Goblins.
As you can see, I've been busy. But yet again, unless I take the day off work tomorrow (not likely) I'm not going to get the Orks done this month.
And the new Empire stuff comes out next month....sigh.
-
Phew... I've finished my five Silver Helms, didn't get a chance to do any extra due to math tests, though. I'll try to get some pictures up, but my digicam is in California with my Guard, while I'm in Texas...
-
I have finished my guards men and hard vets. I will post some pics if I can find my camera.
-
This month just disapered... :(
My wov stand unfinished. I did manage to finish my 3 vypers in time, but my poor heavy weapon and 3 guardians still stand white on the shelf.
-
damn i forgot about this whole thing. couldnt decide on a black and fire design or a ultramarine army. and havent thought about it for a month. oops
-
:( I failed, I got 6 Guardians done :( Bring on the December Challenge!!
-
Failure here too. :'(
-
Initial list of completes on the front page. I make it 12 so far. Come on, lets see if we can manage 50% this month. I'll post a final list later, and set up the next month.
As for me,

im affraid its a sad face for me this month, i couldnt get the squad done (but i did paint an avatar which i was quite proud of)
-
I finished my vow. Also, I forgot to post how many I was doing. Well, I did 5 scouts with needle rifles, and about 14 tactical marines.
-
@ seriouscallersonly:
you should make a searate thread showcasing the pics of people that are able to finish their vows. some of the stuff i see on these 'challenge' threads gets lost in the chatter and not seen by people that arent involved in the thread. it just seems a shame.
im loving the jet bikes by the way, and the fire dragons, they look sweet as!
-

Mmm, I was thinking that. I think rather than a separate thread, maybe compiling all the 'completes' in one post before the thread is closed.
Any more? give it another day for stragglers to charge their batteries or whatever, and I'll ask Yentz to lock this one.
-
You can lock your own threads, you know? Unless they recently changed that.
-
Mmm, I was thinking that. I think rather than a separate thread, maybe compiling all the 'completes' in one post before the thread is closed.
Seconded! Would be good to see everyone's work.
-
OK, I'll try to do that tonight. Is it possible to copy and paste within a thread? I can always save, upload to my own photobucket, but is there an easier way? Nobody lock this yet (and no Kitsune, they changed it so you can't lock your own thread)
-
(and no Kitsune, they changed it so you can't lock your own thread)
Yeah you can. The button to do is under the number of pages, in the lower left hand corner.
-
OK, I'll try to do that tonight. Is it possible to copy and paste within a thread? I can always save, upload to my own photobucket, but is there an easier way?
Yes, Right click on the picture, go into properties and get the URL. Then from there just put it in the image tag. It's already hosted, it doesn't need to be hosted again.
Edit: Oh for Firefox, follow the same steps, but it's listed under "Location:"
-
Here you are then, a gallery of theose who completed vows and posted photographic evidence this month. I just picked one photo from each vower. Apologies if its not the best one.
Incidentally, 3 of us completed vows in all three months of the Autumn challenge. Extra big cheesy grins to:
;D Myung ;D
;D Kitzune ;D
;D SeriousCallersOnly ;D
OK to lock this thread now.
