The Painting Contract - April 2019


Recommended Posts

I'll give this a go for some extra motivation!

Beginning to plan a Final Fantasy 6 themed board for Armies on Parade (if I start early I may actually be done by October!). Going to start with the star of the show, by converting God Kefka from a Necron Deceiver. Also looking to source some models to count as the heroes, so far I'm probably going to get the DE assassin and maybe a Gryph Hound to represent Shadow and his dog.

I'll be happy if I can get Kefka ready to paint this month.

I love that model! It’s still high On my list as a Slaanesh Daemon Prince conversion. 

Very curious to see what you’ll do with it.

So last months stretch become this months goal. But most excitingly... that would also mean cleaning all Skaven Backlog! Happy days... if I succeed.

1. Convert-paint Rat Ogor

2. 9 Rat mix of clanrats & gutter runners

3. Convert-paint Thanquol and Boneripper. Will be a lot of work to let the old skool models be as impressive as the new, but I got them thoughts! 

3. Alternative 3: build a proof of concept for a destroyed city terrain piece  

Picture off the first rat ogre mock up. Currently finishing the green stuff connections.

Okey I’m on a real building high so I’m changing my pledge. Currently preparing  a city based map campaign so I need that terrain in two months time and as it’s Slirmish. Thanquol and those last 9 rats can wait. 

So new pledge: 

1. Four buildings build, coated and stretch painted. 

2. Assembled 5 KO thunderers & 5 vanguard hunters + Neave. 

3. Paint that rat ogre because him rampaging through the ruined city is too cool to miss.

(picture from earlier in the week. Since then added floorboards, glued it all together, added some further deatails & basecoated)

Let's do it!

  • Skull Altar

Got a great head start on this month's pledge. Gonna be doing a lot of games this month and the weekends is typically my hobby time, so with a 4 day weekend from work managed to complete all my Judgements and the Skull Altar, wooohooo!

I set out an overall target for my slayer army last month, but I think that’s out the window for now until the new books out, so I’m planning one box at a time

this month I’m aiming for 10 more vulkites painted, and to get some colour on a runemaster I’ve had sitting on the shelf for about 2 years now. 

Stretch goal will be another 5 vulkites or 5 Auric Hearthguard. 

Making good progress with this. The vulkites were painted quickly, and it shows but they’ll do. Wip of the runemaster who will hopefully get finished over the weekend!

I’ve started the assembly / basing step of my gryphounds. I was able to do some headswaps but if I want to do a bigger pack I may have to convert some to avoid having too many duplicates, as the box already has only 3 different poses. Can’t wait to be done with the prep work and slap some paint on those good boys!

Halfway update, build the buildings, basecoated them. Just undecided on getting them a floor or not. Also tried a collapsed road/rubble, but managed to forget sealing the foam before spraying 🤫

Finished part two, even painted a test hunter. Basecoatjng the rat ogre today.

Today was a good day for painting- my runemaster is finished. Bonus shot of my whole army- roll on the new battletome! 

Edit: expanding my goal to include a runeson (rider version to swap into a magmadroth on occasion) and 5 hearthguard

Just a small update since I've been rather busy lately, but I'm hyped about how this is starting to look so I wanted to share anyway.

The Deathmark heads arrived this week, so I've been finishing up the throne and the base for it. I've also started painting the necro.

I also got slightly distracted and painted three small gravestone markers and made a counts-as Quicksilver Swords/Scythes.

Edit: Got motivated after posting this last night and did some more painting

Paint and base 5 Vanguard-Hunters to at least the standard shown in the image on a sixth hunter.

How did you manage the capes and the shoulder pads? I have two models with room enough to hide a dwarf between there 😂

The Brothers Brass, my 10 man unit of gorefist Bloodwarriors, wanted to do them differently to my normal red/bronze scheme double axes unit, so here we go. Pledge for April finished.

Wow, I lost track of wargaming and hobby related tasks.  I haven't done much since February, and I had my son born a few weeks back, so he has been taking up some of my time lately.  Things look to be settling back down a bit, so I should be able to start working on models again.

I was able to snag two of those Slaves to Darkness Battleforces, plus another 24 Warriors and some conversion ideas, and so I will be assembling them up shortly, and I have some miniatures for another game system on order through my FLGS that I will work on at some point, so I have plenty to build and work on.
