Fairbanks Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Since @TheOtherJosh appears to be indisposed (or is just a little quitter like that gold-obsessed "God-King"), I'll make the thread this month. Quote Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for July 2019! If you don't know the rules they are: Each month you post an amount of models that you agree to try to paint/build/convert/sculpt. This can be terrain or models for Age Of Sigmar, Blood Bowl, Blitz Bowl, Warhammer Underworlds, Warhammer Quest Silver Tower / Shadows Over Hammerhal, Gorechosen, or Warcry. On the 28th of the month the contract closes and you can then post your progress images so that they can be critiqued, shared and boasted about. It is a great way to get involved in the community and to get inspiration. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone share their progress! Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Okay, vacation is over and I'm back at my painting desk. With contrast out, I'm going to try and break the back of my backlog in a single month. I'm waiting to pick up all the Contrast Paints when back in the UK (It's about 100€ cheaper with discount retailers and the shoddy exchange rate) so the first half of the month will be assembly and zenithal priming, with a production line of backlog minis to follow: This month I pledge: 80 clanrats 40 grot stabbers 40 freeguild guard (Perry miniatures) 10 daemonettes 5 assorted test minis. 8 Scuttlings 7 Stormcast 1 griffhound 1 daemon prince 5 hellstriders 3 character minis 40 Saurus Warriors 50 Skinks 10 Ungors Tl;dr: That should take me to 300 battle ready minis this month. Time to see if contrast is worth the hype in terms of speed painting. I thought 4 bloodthirsters in a month was bad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Most of the month will be spend abroad so I’ll see what I’m up for when I get back. One of the following: 1 build awesome base for Brokk Grungsson / paint brokk* 2. Finish church tower terrain 3. Finish last Skaven (except for: thanquol) 4. Convert thanquol base / paint 5. Convert and paint 5 chaos warriors & 2 chariots 6. Paint last 6 daemon slayers/hearthguard bezerkers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, you've inspired me to do something insane as well, and finish one of my many collected armies in a month. 2 Great Bray Shaman 60 Gor 20 Ungor 10 Ungor Raiders 20 Bestigors 1 Beastlord 6 Bullgors 1 Ghorgon 1 Razorgor 15 Chaos Warhounds 1 Chimera 1 Herdstone 140 models, 2060 Points. I've done my test models and found that I like most of the brown Contrast paints, so I will likely be using a combination of them to paint everything slightly different. Each paint is a little different, but I found that my mistakes while using the browns came more from my frenetic painting than from losing control of the paint. They definitely need experimentation before pressing into full use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaaras Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) In the theme of variety, I managed to find a BNIB (shrink wrap and all) copy of Dreadfleet. I will aim to assemble all the ships (now, this is a bit dodgy as they are mostly assembled) and get the terrain pieces painted. If I get a ship or two painted, that will be a bonus. EDIT: all ships built and first game played. I understand a bit more why it was slammed at the time, but a few minor modifications will make it play a lot better. Its very cold here so spraying is somewhat problematic but the aim is to get everything into undercoat. EDIT 2: everything assembled and the terrain and smaller ships undercoated black. I need a grey spray for some zenithal work I want to do on the ships, particularly the sails. So much detail, Dreadfleet really does have some great models. As an aside, I also added warpaint to my Orruks (RIP Greenskinz, welcome to Savage World...) in anticipation of the new tome coming out...

RuneBrush Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Well it's crunch time for my Legion of Grief... and time isn't on my side! Out of the 4 weekends this month, 2 are almost completely written off with a combination of a beer fest and visitors staying 😲 However, that's not going to stop me having a punt at trying to get this lot finished... The targets for this month: 10 Chainrasp 2 x 10 Skeleton Warriors 2 x 20 Dreadscythe Harridans 21 Bladegheist 2 Dreadblade Harrows Guardian of Souls Tomb Banshee The intention is to get them "battle ready" (to coin the trendy term) - so painted up with base colours to an acceptable standard to put onto a table. The extra shading and highlighting will come at a later date (before November) Stretch goals (which I really need to at least start): Reikenor the Grimhailer Mortis Engine Necromancer Soulscream Bridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skreech Verminking Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Although I’ll be visiting Italy for a while and probably won’t have too much time left for my hobby, I’ll be trying to finish off my doom bell (endless spell of the skaven) and paint my plague furnace with the new contrast paints. as a stretch I would try and paint another hell pit abomination.

Lowki Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 This easily becomes my favorite topic It is just that little bit of extra motivation I need, and nice to see what others are working on. Skipping Ogres for now, as I am waiting for hollow bases I used with the two completed models. Waiting fro months on those already. Small list again, not much time untill end of the month: - 5 Grimghast reapers from the Soul war box. - Thorns of the Briarqueen warband - Good part of the Ironblaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 First judgement done. I will finish the base tomorrow when dry and may add some more blood, but otherwise I will take this small victory 😀 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 and now the skulls are ready. Surprisingly fun little models to do. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoinkboy Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hello everybody, Special kind of pledge this month! My last 2 unpainted mini's. A chaos lord on demonic mount and harry the hammer. (After that just stuff to repaint or sell) Greetings Zoinkboy 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 An update on my pledge. Just put the finishing touches on these guys. Pretty happy so far. Bases have been hitty missy though. Put pva glue over the paint for the 2nd 5 but I don't like the effect it caused. They'll look alright in a block of 40. Gonna try stormshield instead on a practice base and see what that does. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Got bored though so gonna treat myself with this chap before getting back to the rasps👍 By the bye, easy build my butt! There was much profanity and a fair bit of green stuff building this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Been away on business, but now that I am back I can work in the final judgement. Everyone’s favourite- the wrath axe. This is a wip and was a trial of wet blending, something I rarely do. I am pretty happy with the outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoinkboy Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Hello everybody, YES! Finally done, the last 2 models have been painted, milestone here people (mini-dance for zoinkboy) Happy painting to all. Greetings, Zoinkboy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Don't think I'll get much more done this month so will put my final wip down. Managed to get 10 chainrasp finished (above) and this far on Reikenor. Decided to change the bases moving forward - just couldn't get happy with the cracked earth. Will have to redo the chainrasp bases at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
