The Painting Contract - August 2020

[TheOtherJosh 1,042]

Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for August 2020!

 

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, 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 & special thanks to @Kramer

For me it’s squad of decimators, a lord relictor, some basing on 3 ogors and progress a bit on my stonehorn the point I can base and varnish it. 
Edit. Not making it in tale of X Warlords  with just this so I’m adding 3 more vanguard raptors.

While I've been getting work done, I'm starting to notice that I'm running out of steam and that I'm not in the mood to paint as often. I think this is because I've been taking on bigger projects in my Khorne army lately, which means I'm not getting completed models as quickly, so this month I'm going to focus on smaller mini's, after I finish the Wrath Axe. This month I pledge to complete:

1. My Wrath-Axe

2. At least 5 Bloodreavers

3. A Skullreaper. Or two. Or three

School starts at the end of August so I'm not going to pledge more than that.

Working through Star Wars Rebellion

Finish the imperials 

- 2 star destroyers

- 1 super star destroyer

- 2 death stars

 - 1 Death Star under construction

then I get to work on the rebels 😀 69 tiny models, including:

- fleet troopers

- air/snow speeders

- shield generators

- ion cannons

- y wings

- x wings

- transports

- cornelian corvettes

- mon cal cruisers

at this scale you can really blast through groups of minis so I expect to get the majority  of it done. Then back to AoS 

[Chikrit 119]

Hello,

This month I want to finally do the bases of some minis to finish them off, so I'll prioritize that. But there will be some time to paint, and build. So, I pledge to:

• Paint: Spirit Torment, Guardian of Souls, Lord Executioner, 10 chainrasps (let's complete the 40 guy blob)
• Base:
• First bunch: a Mortis Engine, a Treelord Ancient, 10 chainrasps, a Branchwych
• Second bunch:  Spirit Torment, Guardian of Souls, Lord Executioner, Knight of Shrouds on Steed, 10 chainrasps
• Build: The Mortal Realms magazine shipment for this month, that should be:
• 5 Dreadscythe Harridans, Lord Executioner, 4 Grimghast Reapers, 5 Glaivewraith Stalkers (one will be converted to a Grimghast Reaper)
• 4 Liberators, 1 Prosecutor
• Hopefully, the FEC special: Archregent, 3 Flayers, 20 Ghouls

After that, I might switch to the Stormcast part of the collection for 2 months, as the "black primed army" is growing out of control...

Maybe it's a bit much? We will know in 29 days 😇😇

For me I have been taken in by the 40k hype train, so this month I want to paint -

And maybe for AoS, that Stormcast special character with the big spear, Larissa something?

Larissa shadowstalker, which to me always sounds like someone who chases  shadows. Granted which could be a realm thing in aos. 
Great model! Really liked painting her.

That's the one! I know she's meant to be Hammers of Sigmar but mine is going to be painted Hallowed Knights, to fit with my eventual planned Cities of Sigmar army based on the "Black Pyramid" novel.

[ThalmorRepresentative 711]

Was confident this model was going to turn out pretty bad after getting into my first attempt. I was going to switch schemes, but I stuck with it and this is the result. I'm calling him finished for now lol, though there's always more work to do on a model!

[ThalmorRepresentative 711]

Have a few more steps to go in the clean up phase, but this guy is pretty much complete.

[TheWilddog 916]

This is what is on the plate this month, a blob of 20 Chainrasps and finish big Lady O.

[Jymmy 286]

For this month:

-Finish gloomspite endless spells

-Finish 5 squig hoppers

-Paint as much stabbas as I can

-Some dreadfleet (tokens and dwarf boat)

-Probably get sidetracked by star wars legion (grievous and B1 droids)

[Kramer 5,362]

Almost feels like cheating because i only needed to do the bases and everything was already on the table... 

but finished my first time part of the pledge 😅

3 ogor bases done and varnished. 

[ThalmorRepresentative 711]

Cleaned up the Warden Commander!

Another Warden is drying and in line for highlights. I think at this point, I'm ready to begin assembly line painting the Wardens.

[jkav86 81]

Not quite painting, but I have not really touched all my mortal realms magazines and I need to get on it! So my pledge is to build as much as I can to get me up to date. Stretch goal is to actually put paint to these guys too.

[ThalmorRepresentative 711]

Moar progress!

Still have the armor to clean up and start on, and a few other details to start picking out as well!

[flemingmma 736]

the usual, at least one model

[Artobans Ghost 481]

My other ballista and I have new evocators and vanguard hunters. 
not sure how far I’ll get but I’ll try

[KratosvonCarstein 5]

My goal this august is to finish (paint and base) my converted blood knights (x5), finish painting 5 blood knights from the high elf dragon knight box, 3 Spirit Hosts, Neferata and Mannfred as Mortarchs. If I feel like it also rebase up to 40 skellies. Feeling productive so here we go!

[ThalmorRepresentative 711]

Made more progress on three of the six wardens I'm currently working on. Mainly the smaller details left to pick out now!

[ThalmorRepresentative 711]

Finished my six Wardens, almost , missed highlighting a robe. Will also do some clean up on the other robes. Other than that though, these are finished!

Hi all,

Very recently joined member here. I’d like to join the pledge for this month if I may. I’m struggling along with my Idoneth Deepkin, getting ever closer to finishing my Start Collecting box. I have three Morrsair guard left, of which one is nearly finished. I’d like to pledge to finish the remaining two. Here’s the nearly finished one:

@fleante yeah ... that text block isn’t working.

Sometimes just uploading the picture works better.
