Vastus Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Merry christmas and a happy new year everyone! I finished up my Dire Wolves yesterday evening, with a bit more trouble than expected. You see I decided that covering up the oval-shaped pieces which they stand on with Martian Ironcrust was a great idea to make things look less weird. Applying the stuff generally is easy, applying it very precisely is not. Got some on some of the feet of my wolves and had to redo those a bit. In the end I decided to apply just a bit, model is more important than base after all. Anyway, I'm stilll happy with how they came out, I like how the color scheme looks mostly. So here's a few snaps of my undead doggies from Chamon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrustaco Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Luke82 said: Not 100% hit this month, I may have been a bit ambitious given the festive shenanigans going on. I finished Zarbags Gits, the wolf riders, and the spider riders. I also painted 20 moonclan grots I picked up, and an Orc warboss on Wyvern from Mierce, so overall a good month. I missed the boar chariot and 20 double chopper boys, didn’t get them done, shame on me for getting distracted by moonclan and wyverns! Ive rethought the arrer boyz... they are truly useless in games! So as most of them carry choppers as well I think i’ll convert the bow arms into shield arms and bump up my other units. Post pics!

Luke82 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I’ve got pics of the wyvern and spider riders, will try and dig the rest out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavieth Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 My first attempt at the challenge will not end successfully as far as the monthly goal is concerned. What is a success though is by months end I will have 3/4 of the goal completed. This has officially been the most I have painted in about 2 years. As fas as start to finish is concerned. It is amazing what can be accomplished by setting aside 2 hours a day to work on this craft. Currently working on the 2 command squads for my swordmasters. They are about half done. Once finished that will give me 20 completed and a frostheart phoenix. Next months challenge wont be as ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunkhouseBuster Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Greetings, all! I know I am late to December, but I pledge to finish up my painting project that I started up back a few weeks ago: some modular hills! Gore-grunta for scale. I have been inspired to put together some homemade terrain and scenery for my wargaming so I can play more at home and not have to rely on my FLGS that is a 45-minute drive away. Thanks to the videos of the Terrain Tutor and Rubbish In Rubbish Out, I have been putting together some modular grass hills out of insulation foam, painted, and flocked. They just need the flocking sealed up and they are ready to play! I have a bunch of these hills put together in various sizes. I hope to get these sealed up tomorrow night to free up the rest of my weekend for other projects and family time. Hopefully things will calm down in my life again. I took a break from Age of Sigmar to try out another wargame (that's a story for another time ) and am ready to jump back into it with some basic homemade scenery. I had an epiphany back in the fall that the terrain and scenery are what separate miniature wargaming from other tabletop games, and that is something that can really aid in the game's immersion and help a player's gaming experience.

syph0n Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Well I nearly actually did my challenge. Did the dragon earlier in the month. Got 2 of 6 Space Wolves finished, my wife built my Kill Team ruins as planned and got 4 Wolves basecoated and based. Didn't finish the Kill Team, Relictor or rebase any of my mixed Order project but it was a very ambitious month! /edit though I did base the 3 big monsters/leaders for the mixed Order stuff! Dodgy Instagram pic of the Kill Team. My lovely wife WIP on the Kill Team scenery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_AoS Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Did not get thru my AoS painting goals. Did manage to finish a Realm Gate and 3 Gryph-hounds. My Lord-Arcanum and Lord-Castellant are underway. Somewhere during the month I got the itch to paint Dark Angels (Christmas marines for the holiday season I guess). So I painted up 5 Intercessors, 10 Hellblasters, 5 Reivers and a Rhino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcysimon Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I lost on this first month, I was too ambitious 🤣 So I painted 2 other new models instead Also a screen of my unfinished work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunkhouseBuster Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well, I was able to get one coat of seal on my modular hills. It will probably be another couple hours to dry, and I just hope that it doesn't take another coat. I went through one spray bottle busting on me for that one coat, I don't want to have to go the store and get another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Going to finish this before 2019! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavieth Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It will be down to the wire! Won't have the 3rd unit of 10 finished. However, I did start a unit of 10 sisters of the watch. I know thr bases are not done yet, but I still haven't found a way to make them that I like. Please enjoy the current group shot. Sadly it is another poor mobile shot. Next month I will see about settingup a proper station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzaangor Management Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Actually finished my pledge this month and with a day to spare 😮. Having spent most of a year painting Stormcast, I'm definitely going to be taking a long break from them at the beginning of next year, but really enjoyed painting the Lord Arcanum, so a fitting send off for the Golden (Ivory) Boys!

BunkhouseBuster Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I was actually able to finish up my pledge - I was able to get a second and third coat of diluted PVA on my modular hills. However, that last coat ended up leaving a shine on most of the hills that detract from the natural look I was going for. So I need to get some matte spray to use on them to get rid of that shine. That probably won't happen in the next few days though, as I will need to wait for pay day to get anything else. Next project is some foamcore board ruins, but I need a trip to the hardware store for some drywall putty to texture them up. Again, waiting for payday...

I didn't finish anything on this list but on the plus side I got very close to finishing 9 Stormcast for Skirmish. But Real Life happened, apparently having a kid cuts into your hobby time... who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
