The Painting Contract - June 2018

[Painbringer]

I have managed to finish my unit of Tree-Revenants yesterday. Did not manage to do anything else, however.

First contract.  I'm going to keep it light, because I just finished 2300 points of Nurgle in 6 weeks.   Working on basing now.    I'll also be repainting an army in a different game, so I'll contract a week's worth.

 

I'll contract: 

30 Dire Wolves

So,  based an entire Nurgle 2k point army?  Check

Repainted different game army?  20 models (100+ to go) .   Check

30 wolves? 

 

And check. Wolves are the only thing that didn't get based this month...  Bases arrived late.

Late update from me, even ignoring that these were supposed to be done for the May contract! ? Ah well.

These were fun and a good challenge but I think I'm done with Tzeentch for now TBH - the models are just too detailed for my painting speed (6-7 weeks for 80 effing points! ?), and the new summoning rules mean an indeterminate amount of extra models are needed... so my July pledge is now to regroup and return with a less ambitious painting project.

@Tommy They do look absolutely awesome and top-notch.

Pink Horrors (also Tzeentch) are 200 points for 10 (but potentially need blues and brimstones to back them up). Even with that they’re less detail than the Acolytes.

Tzaangor are 180 for 10 .... but they’re really full of detail but don’t have any secondary models needed.

I’d recommend digging into a couple heroes, they can be 100+ points per model. (A Lord of Change is 380, and a Gaunt Summoner or Ogroid Thaumaturge are both 180.)

Screamers are a breeze at 100 for 3, and Exalted Flamers are that same boat at 100 for a single model.

Thanks very much man, I worked quite hard on them and am definitely happy with how they turned out. Part of the deterrent is that up next in the plan was 10 converted female acolytes to join them for a bit of gender balance which feels a bit daunting now, so I've been looking at a 37-model strong 2000pt. Deepkin list which is really quite tempting, could do them to basic tabletop standard comparatively quickly then come back to this lot.

I'm not down and out anyway, that's for sure, thanks for the encouragement and suggestions! ?

I know, I'm late with the pictures, but I managed to fulfill my contract for June

Not bad, considering that I spent my hobby time attending local tourneys and finsihing my Death Guard collection
