TheOtherJosh Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for December 2021, the last contract of 2021! 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, Dungeon Bowl, Warhammer Underworlds, Warhammer Quest, Gorechosen, or HeroQuest 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I'm aiming to finish my Corvus Cabal, which will be used as Chaos Marauders. Seven models to go to get my initial ten finished then should have my first 500 points of my army done and I can try playing the game. Working on the unit champion today then will batch paint the remaining six. If that gets done I'll work on getting my Chaos Warrior unit up to 20 models and then add another 10 to the Marauders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished off the champion today, sort of...only realised once I compared him to the rest of the unit that I'd painted his trousers the wrong colour 🙈 oh well, should be fairly simple to fix. Spoiler The other guys: Spoiler Still need to paint up shields and paint the bases but will wait till the rest of the unit is done and bash it out all in one go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Washes done, will get the rest of the squad to here before starting highlights. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) I'm getting a bunch of French historicals today, as well as Les Grognards heavy weapons, so I'm going to make something from that. A few (60) fancy coats will fill out my "body bin" nicely and give me something to paint when I don't feel like using stuff that I plan for other uses. Build and paint 10 Grenadiers in a historical fashion. Make a plan for some conversion with Grognards and Admech parts for nice Stargrave teams, and a few for Frostgrave as well (fancy coats are always useful).

Mako Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Made some more progress, finished off the next four marauders and based the eight I have done. Two more to paint for the initial ten, not happy with one of my conversions however so need to do that first. Really happy with how they turned out. Full squad so far, still need to paint up the shields also. Edited December 6, 2021 by Mako 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingwalnut Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Haven't done one of these in a while, but figured I should at least try. Got a silly 1k Skaven army I am gonna try and finish for a tournament this weekend. After that, the hope is that I can wrap up at least a few projects to a decent point so I can feel better about starting a new project for the New Year! lol Wish me luck! So I got to do: 1 more Stormfiend Unit of 3 Stormfiends 1 Doomwheel 1 Bombadier Already finished the half done Stormfiend and the Ratling Gun conversion shown below. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Arthur Hotep Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Here are a bunch of Blightkings for you: I inadvertently painted them in the official colour scheme. And I thought I was being so unique giving them white cloth, too! Makes sense, though: White shows dirt super well, so white cloth is perfect on them. Anyway, these guys are definitely a good choice for a beginner army. I had a lot of fun just slopping washes onto them. I might expand them into a 1000 point Nurgle army. It just seems so imminently achievable. Very relaxing and quick to paint. I also used Citadel barbed bracken on the base of a mini for the first time with these guys. Personally, I strongly dislike how static grass tuffs look. I always feel like they look like they belong into a different world from the miniatures next to them, because they are so thin and soft. I feel the chunkier plastic of the bracken more closely matches the "art stlye" of the mini, if that makes any sense. Even if it's out of scale. The basing theme on these guys is supposed to be a jungle or forest floor. I like it well enough, but I think I'll need to figure out some other stuff I can put on there for bigger models like the Pusgoyle Blightlords I will have to paint next. 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel like a bit of a fraud when it comes to basing because I always just throw some Miliput on there for hight, cover everything in sandy texture paste and leftover bits and slap a bunch of semi-random colours all over them. Or just buy pre-built bases, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praecautus Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I utterly failed last month and lost motivation totally. This month I will complete my 5 knights of Khorne. Which given we are a week in and I have not picked up a brush since early November may be tricky. Maybe I should just pledge to paint something and enjoy it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, if I am really not feeling it, I just paint a small hero or something as a refresher. Maybe you could try not batch painting your guys? I know it's faster and more consistent, but I always find it a bit soulless. If you go model by model, at least you will have one guy completely done after a day or two. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Progress: I received and built the Grenadiers, and started kitbashing with them as well. Already broke a bayonet, so used a drummer arm to indicate one putting the bayonet on the musket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a change is needed. I am eyeing up one or two interesting projects on the side. For example Talisman has lots of individual models, so may be a fun project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
