TheOtherJosh Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for September 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 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaras Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Well, I have been away for a bit with work. I will pledge to finish my Farseer and build up some Storm Guardians.

ThalmorRepresentative Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Goal for this month: To build an army of Lumineth. And hopefully get some painting done on them too lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikrit Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This month I'm gonna switch sides and paint mostly Stormcast. I'll be cautious, because I still haven't got the method to paint them quickly. So: Lord Executioner (in last month's pledge but the shipment didn't arrive on time) Lord Arcanum on gryph charger 3 x Castigators As a stretch, time permitting: 1 x gryph-hound 1 prosecutor more castigators Let's see how far I reach! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Firaun Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I haven't joined the contract in awhile now, but I pledge the following this September: Fantasy 3 Rockgut troggoths 10 squigs 2 herders 60+ grots an orc blood bowl team 20 tomb/grave guard 20 skeletons 5 tomb/wight kings 3 necropolis stalkers one liege-kavalos 40k 2 snazz wagon 1 squigbuggy a bunch of cultists. fortunately I have been working on most of these during the past two months so this should be doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Acquired a DoK army from a friend. Lots of work to do on it. Invested in a new line of paints. Tested my current lumineth paint scheme with the new paints + vallejo washes and I think its come out very well so far! It's at the base / wash stage at the moment. A few more highlights!

ogarrah Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Last month I pretty much laid a goose egg and this month school starts (which means early mornings and late nights with AP's and whatnot *sigh*) so I'm not pledging to finish any models. I WILL however be pledging this: I, ogarrah, solemnly swear that I will paint for at least 30 minutes every day, homework, chores and baseball be danged. It'll be interesting to see if I can get anything done 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 85% finished this Warden I'm working on. Successfully managed to translate my scheme with about 90% new paint usage while the other 10% remains GW. Still needs just a bit of cleanup in certain areas. I also attempted a new strategy for highlighting the skin. Only drawback is kind of the shield, the light grey I used didn't really want to play nice lol. But, it did go onto the armor quite well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Why did you want to change the paints? It looks great, but must have caused you some headaches in the middle of a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 @LuminethMage There's a couple of reasons. #1 is because of the airbrush, these have a great reputation for being airbrushed and getting better with it is something I wanted to practice with. 2# I wanted some brighter, more saturated colors to use in tandem with the GW paints, so I haven't excluded the GW paints, I still have them. 3#, wanted to see if I could find an easier way to highlight the armor, as pallid wych flesh can be tricky to work with sometimes. That being said, this is what's causing the headache. Actually, transferring my scheme with the new paints has gone really smooth, wasn't too bad. I just need to figure out these light greys and off-whites, ha-ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, that it worked out for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Experimental test base finished! In the Age of Glories, long before the spiraling descent of the Spirefall, our God Teclis terraformed these verdant moorlands into a realm of levitating mountain paradises. Ayrathia - The Coalition of the Summersea Mountains... Generations have passed since the Spirefall, and Ayrathia has long since forgotten peace and prosperity. Several of the Summersea Princedoms endure even in the Age of Sigmar... have you ever seen the Dawnrider Knights gallop at full tilt across the broken moorlands of their shattered realm? The golden sunlight strikes their plate armor and their steeds' barding as if annointed by the Zenithal Avatars of Hysh. To watch their legions sally forth is to witness the splendor of the Realm-Lords. It is to behold true glories.

Rodiger Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Despite declaring I was having a break from painting, I got a bit of a second wind and started on my Ogre Bloodbowl team. I'm enjoying painting these, hopefully I can get these done and the snotlings don't become too much of a drag. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Based what is painted already. I'll eventually circle around and touch up each of the units I've painted when I've hit my milestone.

fleante Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I pledge to sub-assemble and prime an entire Start Collecting Idoneth box. Hope I’ll make it before our baby comes at the end of the month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sttufe Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 hang on, I thought I had pledged? Oh well, in any case I pledge Warden King Thorast Ironbones, leader of the Dwarfs of the Red Sun, sent to reclaim the lost desert holds of Shyish. As well as that I also pledge to finish assembling my ironclad and maybe paint its crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KratosvonCarstein Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) For this month I pledge to finish 30 Grimghast Reapers, finish 5 Dragon Princes that I painted years ago(blood knights) as well as basecoat 5 more Dragon Princes (Blood knight proxies) that I just bought. If I feel good I might also rebase 10 Grave Guard to round bases and start painting these.

ThalmorRepresentative Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Didn't paint the terrain, but it came in through the mail and thought it was awesome. So I wanted to share it! Also, 15 Dawnriders on the sprue came in the mail as well. I assembled two of them yesterday! At the moment I need to assemble 13 Dawnriders and 6 Wardens to have 30 Pikes and 20 Cav. I know others think the Dawnrider kit is extremely frustrating, but I'm honestly not finding it too bad, I think I can paint 20 of them. (famous last words 😜) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodiger Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 These Ogres are largely finished, just need the bases and transfers. The Snotling in the hand hasn't been done yet as I haven't decided the colour scheme for them, need to do a test model first. I'm pretty happy with how these turned out, the black and blue kit, and the ginger hair seems to work quite well. Snotlings are next. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminethMage Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 @ThalmorRepresentative Could you let me know where the terrain is from? This is the best Lumineth terrain I have seen so far. For me the Dawnrider got a bit better after painting the 3rd, getting used to it I think. I can’t see me painting more than 10 though, chapeau to you sir!
