Welcome to the Summertime Blues Painting Challenge. 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. This one will run for June, July, August. (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.

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 10th.

-
My Vostroyan Command Squad. Might even do NMM for the first time, because it would look awesome-super-cool on those models.
-
I vow to complete my Trollbloods box set+ Doomshaper.
It will be done!
-
Going back to doin my eldar, because hell, thats what I always end up painting, cant get away from the buggers.
9 Warp Spiders
1 Warp Spider Exarch
I might add some more by the tenth, since I paint pretty avidly, these 10 could be done by the 10th.
-
last month, i finished painting all the marines i curently own. This month, my personal goal is to complete my IG. but its also my birthday this month, so im expecting to get slowed down by new models at some point :)
I vow to paint a platoon of IG catchcans. I have 30 guys, will be getting at least 25 of them done. (depends on if i prime the last heavy weapon squad in time.)
If i have time, i will be trying to get my genestealer cult magus and hybrids painted as wel... dont want all those IG brood-brothers to get lonely now do we?
-
This sounds like it could give me the kick up the ..... I need.
I vow to get my 400 point Tyranid patrol force done (aka 23 Genestealers including a couple spares).
-
Count me in again. I know I said I'd stop at 1500pts, but I got me some more.
5 assault termies for Angels of Vengeance Deathwing.
As a bonus, I'll base everything from my previous vows.
-
This time I'll do it!
I vow to get my DE Archon's retinue finished, can't do the man himself (damn GW online store).
-
My eyes hurt, but I've painted:
Exarch
1 Warp Spider
4 half done
so by late tonight i'll prolly have 6/10 on my vow, been painting since this morning :)
-
Slow down Target! The rest of us haven't even made vows yet!
Well, Chicago GT might be in my future, which means another 350 points of kroot from somewhere. So, another month with the Red Space Chickens.
16 Kroot including converted shaper.
-
my first painting vow :D ! ! !
anywho, I am going to complete my Emperor's Children squad. I have two painted and completed already and one half done so that leaves me with four chaos marnines to paint!
P.S - I will put pictures up for the lot of them tomorrow
-
Gonna change my vow just to the 5 warp spiders and 1 exarch.
That being said, I finished them in one day, waiting for the pva glue to dry so i can do their bases, pic's will be up tomorrow.
I think I painted for about...9 hours today. Summer break rocks.
Sleeeeeeeeeep...
-
Huh, you people in the northern hemisphere with your summer.
Well hopefuly I'll have mine done in time to enter in the Wellington GW Cities of Death painting comp, so I'll also post up what placing I get.
-
Put me down for
5 dark reapers
1 Farseer
and a brand new shiney Scorpion II

-
I vow to paint five Wraithguards and one warlock to lead the squad.
-
Okay, I'm in.
Put me down for full squad of banshees (that I'm gonna be painting cos there's no way I'm buying any of the new ones).
And I'll try to get some pics of the finished scorps from last month up some time next week.
-
I'm going to re-vow my scorpion squad I didn't finish last month. Hopefully that'll give me enough time to finish making my hawk squad for next months vow.
-
I vow to paint 4 Ironguts and one Slaanesh Champion.
-
I am thinking I will paint my Techmarine and 2 Servitors....
Yes i vow i will paint them
-
Vow done for this month, 6 man spider squad fully painted and based.
If anyone wants to know the step by step I can lay it out pretty easy, plus I have a few left I might paint so I could do a wip photo shoot on them.
Also pictured is what I did last month when I got bored because my paints to paint my vow didnt come in (vow uncompleted part was 2 heavy warjacks). Painted 3 weapons platforms, 42 guardians, and 11 banshees.
I have alot of time.

Vows updated. Damn, Target, you should pledge something else. It's only the 2nd :) :)
BTW, cool to see some Hordes work getting done...
-
I pledge to complete:
Tau Hammerhead
Squad of Assault Marines
Squad of Devestators
-
So, my pictures are above, and I have a question for you all.
Im looking to do a couple squads of fire dragons, do you think i should paint them:
-In reds, they are fire dragons after all
-Stick to the theme of my army, and the blues/greys wont hurt em?
I think red fits them better, but I really wanted a very connected army as far as the paint scheme went. If everything is blue/white/greys including tanks, guardians, other aspects, would it make sense to have them be the oddball?
That said, I'll add 10 fire dragons to my vow (that includes an exarch)
Prolly more warp spiders too, but we'll see about that in a bit.
-
@ Target
Those are some damn fine Banshee's there. I love the dark blue look you've given them.
You're making the rest of us look bad; it's only been two days!
:'(
Perhaps you could paint the Fire Dragons a mix of blue and red...purple! With red highlights. I have no idea how that would turn out, but hey...
CM
-
Good god, some of us haven't vowed anything yet!
Anyways, I'm vowing something, I haven't figured it out what yet, but I vow to paint something. I've just gotta go down into the basement and see what I've got left.
-
Purple would be good, but as far as colors go its just about my arch nemesis for painting, can never get it to look like i want it to.
Im still not sure what to do, but I might just wing the exarch today and see how it turns out, then if i hate it, strip it.
-
Time to make a vow rather than just watching everybody else.
5 Swooping Hawks
4 Warp Spiders
(and maybe a random exarch or two...)
Dizzy
-
Let's try this again. One Cyclops demolition vehicle.
-
Target--
Very nice theme and painting with the Eldar. I say keep with the overall theme--blue/white/grey for the dragons. There are two options from there:
--Use more grey and white to simulate the smoke and white heat generated by the meltas
--remain with the blues, but use a red highlight somewhere; perhaps their helmets begin smokey grey at the base and blend down colors to a red at the top
-
Got a chance to look through my
crap....errr....unpainted stuff and I've figured out what I'm vowing to paint. 1 warp beast pack consisting of 5 warp beasts and 1 warp beast master.
-
well i skipped last month an ended up doing about 7 other figs that are not warhammer or any table top game related (ok they are my current party in DD but thats different)
so this is my list for the next 3 month
1- Dark Eldar Archon, all custom here baby
2- Nid Gene Stealers, time to break into that mini army box
3- Space Marines, my dread needs some friends on the shelf
this should keep me busy enough
-
Here is my WIP of the Emperor's Children squad I am doing. Sorry for the bad image quality but I have a very awful digital camera and my cell phone camera which I used for this picture.
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi19.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb187%2FZukoz%2FECsquadcopy.jpg&hash=c27597084b6f59c65c3ea08dbe5d263ffbe5d13b)
-
@ Targetawg:
You're just too fast! Nice army. I also think you should use the same palette on the Fire Dragons. They're no more special than the Banshees and Spiders after all, so it makes sense for them to be painted with the same colours.
I vow to paint one squad of five Arbitrators. So it is written, so shall it be done. (Unless I get distracted or run out of time, that is..)
-
@ Targetawg
I also think that you should keep the same theme as with the rest of your army. Perhaps you could give the Fire dragons red helmets to make them stand out a bit more and to show that they are the aspect of death through fiery destruktion. You already have a red hint in the army with the red eyes, and just doing the helmets red might not spoil the cool impression your army gives. :)
...another option shoulb be to dig out some of the alternative fire dragons colos themes from the last codex... but i cant remember any other than the red-yellow-orange one thats the one they used in the current codex.
-
Anything which encourages me to get my arse in gear cant be bad!
Put me down for 5 Praetorian Guardsmen, one Lascannon conversion and 5 Grenadiers.
-
First progress report - I'm stripping the Wraithguard as I got them second-hand, and 3 are cleaned up so far. I got the Warlock yesterday, and I'll start undercoating as soon as the other 2 Wraithguard are stripped.
-
ok a little WIP pic of my DE lord
(https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg436.imageshack.us%2Fimg436%2F7549%2Fscan00018yt.jpg&hash=44cbd569e978e286631f3954a0ad0a47b26c0040)
next to him is an almost complete Incubi, hes is there for reference of color or something similar.
yes the lord is blurry as can be so to help you figure out what you are looking at here is a description.
the top half is a black primed hellion that i cut in half, the bottom half is a blaster witch body that i also cut in half, these are the remains of my blaster hellion that i still have yet to paint.
total plans for him include a trophy rack, terrorfex, custom double ended weapon, and a "shadow cloak" greenstuff cloak.
still not sure how i want to paint the armor, something that will stand out from the rest of my army (see incubi for reference) but still look the part.
anyway more pics as i can scan them
-
As a slight off topic, those warpspiders I painted did excellently in my first game ever with them today.
5 Warp Spiders +1 Exarch in a 2500 point game, kills:
-6 Stealth Suits
-2 Tau Devilfishes
That being said, I'll add this to my vow for this month, another warp spider exarch, and 9 warp spiders, making my vow:
2 Warp Spider Exarchs
14 Warp Spiders
Those guys are just plain nasty. Finished the game with 2 alive, would have blown another tank but I put 10 shots into it and didnt get a single 5 or 6 on the last 10 rolls. Ah well, 3 tanks would have made them a bit too good. Dont want em getting big heads on me ;D
-
Alrighty then, i got 3 of my shredders (One had a mold line I missed, and his leg fell off.) primed (white), ink with 2 layers of blue, then drybrush over 1 layer of white. I may add another layer of white. After I get that, it's black on scales, horns, and claws, then highlight with brown. Gah, I decided that I put the blue in down too heavily. I'm going t reprime ad start over today
I'll get a picture up tommorrow.
Also, Thagrosh is assembled. I mostly likely prime him tommorrow.
-
Allright now that schools over and my girlfriends out of town (thank God) maybe i can get something done.
I vow to paint the 14 guardsmen that i didnt finish last month.
-
Last deadline is the end of the month right?
In that case I vow 10 banshees (WIP from before), 20 Dire avengers (10 are WIP) and 6 fire dragons.
With possibly more thrown in ;)
-
Would like to change my vow . Will be doing 12 Storm Guardians and 7 Striking Scorpions .
-
Work in progress.
My 5 Hawks are primed and the first one has been painted up as a test.....which I'm pretty happy with. The others should be done tomorrow with any luck.
Dizzy
-
My master is just about completed, and the beasts have their first colour down, they're red ;D
-
Slow this time. Bought, built and undercoated.
-
Since I suck at actually fulfilling my big vows, I'm gonna stick to three models...
- My Black Templars Marshall (Actually, a Sword Brethren model, because it looks cool.)
- My Emperors Champion, made up from the crusader sprue.
- A Wood Elf Lord with Great Weapon...(the cool one stood on the tree)
They're all basecoated, and I have schemes ready for each of them...
Templar Marshall and Champion - Black Armour (duh!) Red Robes, Bone Pads and Details (the GW black/white colour scheme is too harsh) The Marshalls Chainsword will be red, the champions sword most probably black, the others details figured out as and when.
WE Lord - Autumn scheme, Green/Brown Cloak, Orange Leaves, Leather/Bronze Armour, Various symbols and other things most likely in bone.
Also, all the models will be on large 40k bases, because it'll allow me more flexibility with basing...I'm thinking trees, and ruins...I may make them removable, because I do want to make a legal army, though probably only display it...I'm strange like that... ;D
-
Hmmm...
DO... I... DARE...
Turns out I don't dare, too risky for now. Month one will have to be the easy month.
There's not one whole unit here, but my army has alot of incompleted squads. Thus, I vow to paint my Warp Spiders (4). I vow to finish my striking scorpion unit (four scorpions to go) and to complete my Swooping Hawks (2 models) as well. In addition, I'm going to refurbish my existing hawks, because they all look like they've seen some rough times. Missing wings, glue buildup from repeated wing repair, etc.
-
Okay! First pics. I'm trying out something new with these guys. Im trying to learn to speed paint african skin tones. It's hard but I may have stumbled on a formula that works. Essentially I undercoat in Ogre Flesh and then layer on lots and lots of brown ink (a special mix of water, brown ink and klear floow polish AKA wonder-wash) and it begins to build up a nice tone and shadows. Then I just have to highlight with Dark Flesh and voila!
These pics are after 3 washes and are very messy washes at that. Next I'll do some more accurate inking.

Sorry for the dark pics but the sun went in! Bloody England!
-
Vows updated.
edit: Changing my vow to Archdomina Makeda (Hordes). After looking at http://www.mguinc.com/news.cfm?newsid=812, I've decided that I don't want my Titan to be my test-piece for a color scheme. :)
-
I'm going to vow to complete my two wave serpents that I have primed done.
-
Okay, I'm in again. This time I'll do a squad....
Strip - Convert - Paint 5 Rangers.
Bonus: as many of the 6 Swooping Hawks I've got left as I can get through. (These will be next months if not done)
-
I vow to finally paint my Storm Trooper Squad.
-
I'm in, luckly we are out for the summer as well ;D, and i broke my ankle two days ago, so i should be able to get alot done. lol
I vow to:
Convert and Paint two wraithlords.
1 warlock
21 guradians
1 reaper and exarch
3 banshees
2 spiders
3 hawks.
Luckily i have a tourney on the tenth as well, extra motivation
-
I'm in with a gaurdsmen squad of 10 including my mortar. Although I have exams for 2 weeks and am at school.
Hmm I see a flaw in my plan.
-
BTW lads... whatcha think of my Ogre skin? What can I do to improve?
-
Took a break from my vow to do a solo model to break up the monotony. This is my version of a jetbike farseer, let me know what you think/criticisms.

-
It's interesting, I just don't see jetbike. Maybe some sort of skyboard but not jetbike.
-
I'll paint a guardsman squad.
I vow this on the immortal souls of my ancestors!
-
I vow a to finish a 10 men fire dragons unit plus waveserpent.
-
Yup, I strayed from the normal riding a jetbike and did the "I ripped a piece of earth out of the ground to fly around on"
-
Targetawg.
I like it. I'm not sure how you justify the +1T and +1 save, since he's pretty exposed up there....but it looks cool. And that, in my opinion, is the most important bit. ;)
Dizzy
-
Working on some sort of pillar rising from the ground which is going to have energy swirling around him. It should cover the +1t and +1S providing I manage to get it working like i see it in my head. The shurikats...no clue. I might just say "I didnt want to sculpt them because it would have ruined it, so for game purposes I wont be using them ever since they arent modeled". Its not like Id use them anyhow, he's got a pistol and generally will be a singing spear/mind war killer.
Thats kind of a secondary thing right now, Im just working on him when I get bored from painting the same models over and over :)
-
I'd like to add a wood elf spell singer to my vow. The only one actually on foot, the feral looking one...I already have one of these, but I have no idea where its gone...also, I'm having real trouble on deciding on a pose for my champion... I'll figure something out though...I may even post a few of the poses...
-
Request to change vow.
Change from Techmarine and 2 servitors to just a Techmarine.
-
All the Wraithguard are stripped except one who is only half done so far. I've started painting the first Wraithguard, and the Warlock. The Wraithguard will have more or less the same colour scheme as my Guardians, although they will be made to stand out somehow. When I decide how, I'll post :)
Edit: First 'guard is done up in basic colours, blue and white - no details, highlights, gems etc. done yet. I've started on the Warlock's cloak but have realised that for the amount of blending I want to do, I'll need a pallette, so off to the shops when I have time...
-
OK , going to have to change my vow again , due to certain recent E-Bay winnings and slow delivery time's etc .
8 x Storm Guardians
4 x Swooping Hawks
Hopefully the Exarch too , but still need to give this whole converting lark a try . So the Exarch will be a non-vowed bonus , for me and this fine thread .
Thanks .
-
I vow to:
Convert and Paint two wraithlords.
1 warlock
21 guradians
1 reaper and exarch
3 banshees
2 spiders
3 hawks.
Yeah, i'm gonna need to change this to
Convert and Paint two wraithlords.
1 warlock
5 guardians
1 reaper and exarch
3 banshees
2 spiders
3 hawks
This is due to my local hobby shops supplier's complete laziness.
So, far i got it all done but a warlock and a banshee. But, i still got one more complete day.

Vow- 16 Genestealers, 15 Tyranid Warriors, and one Carnifex.
Just in case, after the vow lock, is it all right to ADD stuff? I mean, I dont really see why it would be a problem...
-
Your vow is your vow once its locked, anything added afterwards is "bonus". Thats how i understand it at least, so basically if you fail to complete extra painting after the 10th you say you will, it wont count against you, but we always like to see more painting/more photos.
Ill have pics up later of my finished "jetbike farseer" (has an energy shield, you can see it in my other thread) and more warp spiders, who are getting gems now, instead of white dots. Im getting un-lazyfied. I should have a full squad of 10 done by tomorrow night.
-
well my scorpion is done, see my thread about building and painting it. the reapers are 80% done and my farseer is 90% done.
-
Im afraid I will have to retract my vow for the month. My bits orders for my stuff will not be arriving till the last monday of the month, giving no time to finish. SO...yeah...
-
Well the Lascannon is now finished (and boy am I glad that ones out the way!) next stop is the five Praetorian Heavy Weapons crew, I've made a start on these with the tunic and trousers almost finished, with Bristol Carnage tommorrow its a question if I'll be able to fit in any work today with preparing my army for the event, in any case hopefully they'll be finished by next weekend allowing for work which means I can then start on the real meat of the project I've vowed for this month, Grenadiers :)
-
scratch my vow, I'll do them next month. I havent got as much time as i though with my exams and all. Plus the touney is actually next month ;)
-
Ditto. I know that I'll never get mine done as my last exam is the 26th.

No vow changes below this point. I'll update everyone posted above here tomorrow, it's late, I'm tired.

Eleven days into the month, and I've assembled my models. Go me!

As you can see, five Arbitrators converted using space marine heads and scout parts. Note the sergeant's handflamer, which counts as a brazier of holy fire. Bad use of points, but neat all the same.
I'm unsure how I want to paint them at this stage. I'm thinking dark blue armour, light grey fatigues and black and yellow hazard stripes on the sergeant's weapons. They'd look pretty dark though, so perhaps I'll paint the helmets white to brighten things up. Any thoughts?
-
Well here are my rangers. They're nearly done, got some touches to do and basing.

I've got my beasts just about done, I should be able to post some pictures soon.
-
built, undercoated, basecoated. Ready to do the inking. I'd post pictures, but they don't look anything special really yet. Love the posing on the assault termies though.

Here are the guys in their current state. The Warlock's cloak is more or less done but nothing else is really done yet on him. One of the 'guard is about 40% done as a prototype, the others are undercoated and I may start on them later this week.
-
Vows updated and locked.
37 people in, I think that's a record!
I've got mine converted and primed, but that's it... :( And I leave town in 1.5 weeks.
-
Finishing inking tonight. They're looking a bit better now, so I'll try to get some photos up.
edit: and the highlights on the eagles, skulls, bling etc. I took some photos (crap as usual), I'll try to post them over the weekend.
Not sure how to do the thunder hammers. It's black armour with red, bone and boltgun for the most part. Not sure how much black to leave on the hammer.
-
ok, just finished my DE lords main body accesories, that would be a trophy rack (chaos vehicle piece) terrorfex (modiefied random DE part) and shadow field cloak (green/white stuff)
the cloak just covers his lower half and leave the front leg totally exposed, a little bit of chain connects the cloak to the back at what ive decided will be the shadow field generator.
so all thats left for this one before i start painting is to finish his main weapon.
double sided weapon, spiked ball with a sword topped staff.
pics of this part when i develope some more film

Here's a WIP shot of my Hawks . But am a bit stumped , what colour can I use on the wings to paint alternate feathers ( like in the codex , blue and white feathers . ) ?

Some possible's are included as the background . From left to right : Sky Blue , Light Turquoise , Blue Violet , Violet , Red . Also have snot green and Bad Moon Yellow as possible's . Any idea's are welcome !

-
If you plan on the feathers being orange, go for red or yellow, depending if you want a darker or lighter look for the feathers. Personnaly Id suggest red with orange highlights.

wow, i like the csouts they'd be awsomely suited to be Black templar neophytes, and a really easy paint job. But how'd ya make the heads?
-
wow, i like the csouts they'd be awsomely suited to be Black templar neophytes, and a really easy paint job. But how'd ya make the heads?
Good gracious! I'm getting feedback afterall! :D
The heads are a Cadian/Space Marine hybrid. You start out with a marine helmet and remove the ball at the bottom, as well as the protruding bits all over the helmet's surface. You then hollow the head out from below, gauge out the eyes with a modelling knife so they form a single slit and remove the grille that would normally protect the mouth.
Then you take a Cadian helmeted head with chinstrap tightened. You cut away roughly three fourths of the top and back of this head, until it will fit inside the marine helmet. Leave the face untouched, because you should still be able to see portions of it even when the helmet's on.
You then glue the Cadian head into the helmet and glue both to the torso. Then use some green stuff to fill up the receded face plate, to ensure the helmet has one big smooth surface.
-
Primary colours are down on all models except a few areas on the Warlock now. Next step is to gloss the 'guard and Warlock's helmet, then get painting gems... so many gems...

I've completed my vow. I present to you the Cyclops. 8)

I'm going to be the first one to officially throw in the towel this month. It's primed, but that's it, and I fly out of town on business for the rest of the month on Sunday, with way too much to do to get it painted to even a vaguely acceptable standard.

Been done for about a week or so, but too lazy to take a picture, so here it is finally

I finished my first ten about 5 days into the month. After going back and doing ALL of their gems (36 per model, so 360) I got burnt out. Got 6 left to do for my vow, I'll get it done, take me 1-2 days. For now Im almost finished a brand new avatar! I'll get pics up this weekend with any luck.
Hows everyone else doing?

Main colours are pretty much done, now all those beslubbering gems to do...
(hehe, I actually typed out "beslubbering", it's a great word :) )
Edit: OK, it doesn't look like I'm going to get these guys done on time. Sorry everyone. Real life (exams and such) are somewhat more important right now, but I will finish them off when I can and post pics.
-
So i finished the avatar (looks amazing, ill get pics tomorrow) and did a fuegan to match my color scheme (by far the best model I've ever painted) so Ill get some pics when i can get some decent light tomorrow, possibly whip up a makeshift photobooth for myself.
I have painting add though, because I still have 6 warp spiders to do, and I uh...have like 4 days to finish em. But on the up side, Ive finished 3 display models for my army now instead of doing the tail end of my vow..
-
just want to say I finished my vow and then some. I will get pics up in the next few days but wanted to say
5 Reapers done
1 Farseer done
1 Scorpion II done
extra
Seer Council (5 warlocks) done
New Baneblade
-
Here's the pics I promised, another of the avatar is available in the thread I made about em. Sorry for pic whoring, Im just excited about how these two turned out!
So I decided to do an avatar and a fuegan model just for fun and to break up the monotony of painting my army. Avatar took about 8 hours probably, the hair is green stuff, looks alot better in person, and hopefully the armor in the pics shows how many layers I did to achieve the dark red centers going out to the glowing edges of the plates.
Fuegan was a total of 4 hours, he's by far my favorite model I've done, let me hear it on em! (I know fuegan is generally red, but I wanted him to fit with my color scheme, I think this alternate scheme is spot on!).

Left to do is to ad the yellow colour to the head and cloth, paint the weapons black and to highlight it all.

Dark Eldar lord is finished
pics hopefully in five days or so
next months gene stealers almost started
-
I don't think I'm gonna meet my vow - I'm only about half-way through and I've got 2 evenings left....
and I'm not a fast painter...
and my wife keeps pestering me...
dang :-[
-
Well bar applying static grass thats my five Praetorian Guardsmen finished putting me about half way through my vow, still got 5 Grenadiers which I've not event started converting yet so its looking unlikely I'll complete my vow either, gah!
Well we shall see! ;)
Pics tommorrow.
-
I'm done with the painting - just need to get them based. I'd have done that tonight if I hadn't had to plumb a new washing machine in.
I've got some WIP pics - need to upload still. I'll try to take some more when I've based.
-
Storm Guardians - Complete
Swooping Hawks - Just need to be varnished and based , should be ready and complete for Friday night .
Talk about cutting it close :P .
-
come on guys 2 days to go! get a move on!
-
Heh, Im working on it, I have the 6 warp spiders that are left on my vow in progress, should be done tomorrow, and Ill probably have alot more bonus material.
-
Sorry for not having responded earlier.I have finished my Vow but i do not have any pics and i will not be able to obtain any for a few days because of a big family deal.
-
I also finished my vow, a week ago actually, but i just now thought to post.
I also did an extra avatar, and a few extra guardians. I will hopefully get up some pictures tomorrow.
-
Here's a WiP shot of the Arbitrators. I've spray painted them chaos black, then layered regal blue on, edged with ultramarines blue, did a very thorough blue ink wash, and edged ultramarines blue once more. I think I'll do some more extreme highlights to make them pop, then call it a day for the carapace armour. I've now decided that the fabrics are going to be a light grey, the boots will be a light leather colour and all Imperial iconography will be gold. All of this to offset the dark armour. Still two days left. I can make it. :)

And done. 5 assault termies, Angels of Vengeance. That's 5 vows in a row, 25 termies and a libby. All based now as well.
Pictures tomorrow, hopefully. Here's some very poor WIP pics in the meantime:

Can I vow for next month yet? LRC and a termie chappie.
-
My vow is complete, Ill get some pictures up tonight or tomorrow of the 16 warp spiders, and the bonus models i did (the jetbike farseer conversion, fuegan, and avatar)
-
I vow to have at least 3/4 of my Ogre Kingdoms army fully painted by the end of August. It's my first paintjob so cut me some slack
-
Allright heres my 2 wraithlords and my avatar that i did just for giggles lol. I finished the rest of my vow, but its not on me at the moment, but it is completed.

If your wondering about the wacko wraithlord arms, its because, I ordered a bunch of wraithlord bits of ebay, with allot of legs, bodys, heads and the backpack things. Yet, I only got 3 right arms with the lot, so with a lil work and greenstuff, I got 2 wraithlords for $12.
-
I've just finished my scorp squad vow *cheer* I thought I wasn't going to make it (again) but 5 internet-less days helped a bit. I'm not quite happy with them as they are but they're definately good enough to play with and not look out of place in my army so that's good enough for me. I'll try and get some pics before this thread is locked if not I'll post them with the next thread.
-
So close, but still not enough.
The Wraithguards are all done, but im not able to do the basing at the moment and the warlock is still unpainted.
note me down for failure and a vow unfinished.

The squad in its current state. The warlock is from another squad. All for the sake of apperances.
-
Im gonna have to be a fail as well, after a couple of models I'm just not happy with the Grenadier conversions that Im turning out, the size difference between the plastic cadians they're based on and the Praetorian figures is just too much for me, I shall bide my time until I've got a suitable alternative.
-
Finished! With 34 minutes to spare, no less. I'm hammered, so expect pictures here come dawn.
Watch this space.

Ill get pics of it all tonight most likely, if not tomorrow before I hit the game shop. It feels good to have actually completed this months :-p

And here they are.
The trousers had shadow grey, codex grey and space wolves grey layered onto them, followed by a rather diluted chaos black wash. The boots and other leather parts had bestial brown followed by snake bit leather layered onto them. The gold skulls and such had tin bitz, dwarf bronze, shining gold and mithril silver layered onto them, followed by a flesh wash. Metal bits are boltgun metal, with a chaos black wash on some parts. The handflamer and chainsword, my pride and joy, were painted with two thin coats of skull white followed by two thin coats of sunburst yellow. Then the black chevrons were painted on. The black was highlighted with fortress grey and the yellow with sunburst yellow and skull white.

I have finished my Archon's retinue, plus the man himself after he finally arrived. Unfortunately I can't post up any pics, I can't find the cables for my digital camera. Like with Cabbage, not having the internet for a while helped immensely.
@ PaxImperator, are those heads from the Necromunda arbites? Just curious.
-
They're from normal Space Marines, but have had a fair bit of filing, cutting and resculpting done to them.

Huh, thought they looked different to the Necromunda ones, i.e. good

@Paximperator: those are PERFECT!

Progress made, but ultimately a failure this month. Will do better next time!
