TheOtherJosh Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for January 2020! It’s the first contract of the year! Come, finish off your work from last year, or paint up the new stuff that you received over the holidays! You can start a new army, or finish your old one! Get that terrain started, or finish your battle or kill zone! Square bases? Round Bases? No Bases! Bring your resin, your plastics, your metal, the options are many! Show off the stuff you build, convert or paint... we want to see it all! All are welcome around the painting table, and we have spots available for everyone, newcomers and seasoned veterans alike! 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 Warhammer Fantasy, Age Of Sigmar, Warcry, Blood Bowl, Blitz Bowl, Warhammer Underworlds, Warhammer Quest, Silver Tower / Shadows Over Hammerhal, or Gorechosen. 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! @Mohojoe & @TheOtherJosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaaras Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 So, January is a tough one. I am moving interstate and won't have my stuff, then starting a new job to add to the fun. So, I will set a very modest ambition and copy @flemingmma and aim for one model painted... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaaras Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 @TheOtherJosh indeed it does. Or in this case an army of 1000 models ends (does it ever really end...) with about 17 more... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 WIP: Stage 1, still building a more opaque crimson on the model 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like the typical Clanrats as much as I do, then a thousand models is just the beginning!😱 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaaras Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 @ThalmorRepresentative i quite like that washed out look for the crimson. With some subtle highlights it would make that a very interesting look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Ugh. I tried towards the end of the year, I really did... but to no avail. So one of my resolutions this year is to achieve something in the Painting Contract every month. To this end, I will keep it simple and, as others have done, stick to one model. Maybe if I keep that up, I will be able to expand it later in the year to one unit. - Chaos Lord on angry crocobeast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikrit Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 This year’s activity in the painting hobby is going to be guided by Mortal Realms collection, for which i have subscribed (including the premium subscription available here), so I have some days to finish off the hexwraiths I already started last month before I buy some number 1 kits (want 4 for a full unit of 40 chainrasps). Out of them I’d like to finish a first 10 chainrasp horde unit in addition to the hexwraiths. I wont be able to keep up with the collection, for sure, even focusing on the nighthaunt units. I’ll leave the Stormcasts for now 😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this month will be getting the hang of my new brushes, the palette and practice building up skin and detail colours. So getting better at evenly building up colours is my pledge currently waiting to practice on and finish: - 3 gluttons, 2 ironblasters, overtyrant & mawpot - 10 sequitors, 3 palladors, 1 arcanum on gryphcharger - Brokk grungson - also have a bunch of stormcast and ogors to convert and build in between 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you proceed if that was the look you were going for? My plan (which could change), was to make the skin grayish-white, like the previous eel, with the color accents in the shadows and on the fins. Still, would be interested to hear your opinion on it. Would be fun to try your suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
