TheOtherJosh 1,042 Posted July 30, 2020 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kramer 5,362 Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited August 7, 2020 by Kramer 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogarrah 76 Posted July 30, 2020 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praecautus 1,293 Posted July 31, 2020 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 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chikrit 119 Posted July 31, 2020 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 😇😇 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyRyan 126 Posted July 31, 2020 For me I have been taken in by the 40k hype train, so this month I want to paint - 5 more Chaos Marines Deffkilla Wartrike And maybe for AoS, that Stormcast special character with the big spear, Larissa something? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThalmorRepresentative 711 Posted August 1, 2020 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! 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThalmorRepresentative 711 Posted August 1, 2020 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. 5 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jkav86 81 Posted August 2, 2020 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KratosvonCarstein 5 Posted August 4, 2020 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! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fleante 29 Posted August 6, 2020 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: https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj1qdODKkR/?igshid=ltxgcbsggzsw 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
