TheOtherJosh Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for February 2023. This is it, the month of “Short Painting Contract”. What can you get done? Start your new year out right and get building and painting, and start the new year out on a fresh hobby track and let’s get hobbying in the new year! 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippy Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I’ve finished the Morghasts yesterday, so technically February 🙂 This month I will likely assemble and paint 10 more Morteks, then it’s either catapult or Stalkers… or Katakros. Time will tell. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Finished building my first set of terrain. It was a lot of trial and error but im ok with the result. I also tried some dryads but dont know what to pick. Maybe ill go for a multiple colour army for once and make a few different ones, not sure yet.

Neil Arthur Hotep Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have not posted here for a while, because I started a new job and had to move. But I am finally getting back into painting. Before my break I started working on an OBR battleforce box. I have a bit of a rough history with battleforces, because when I got into Warhammer I bought a big box of Tomb Kings and the amount of models absolutely broke me. So it is pretty personally significant to me that I have this box almost completely finished except for a few Mortek guard: Spoiler These guys are my speed painting army. I have chosen their colour and basing scheme with ease of painting in mind. I am using a lot of spped and effect paints on them, as well as uncontrolled techniques like drybrushing. Because of this, you will definitely be able to spot some imperfections on them if you look closely. I take the time to carefully paint high impact details like eyes, though. Their bases are supposed to be what I imagine a Gravesand desert would look like. I was worried the "space" effect would be too dark, initially, but I think it actually works pretty well. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Arthur Hotep Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Double post, but I finally managed to get some of my Helstorms and crew properly based: 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabush Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Finished my goal for this month. 10 gutrippaz, 10 hobgrots and 1 swampcalla shaman. Quite a lot of speed painting, as I was pressed for time to get it all done for a couple of games this weekend. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Arthur Hotep Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 No more time to finish any units this month, but I managed to squeeze in some statues for use as scatter terrain or maybe objective markers: 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painbringer Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I have managed to finish first 10 Bloodletters (out of 20). The bases for some of them still need to be done, but I'll finish them during the week. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: didnt get around to painting this week but i finished my goals at least. Edited February 26 by Gitzdee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flippy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 So, I’ve failed with the Mortek Guard. They’re close to ready, but not there yet. There are two reasons for this - firstly, I’ve batch painted them with Stalkers. Secondly, I’ve been tempted by GW to dip my toes in the spawning pool - and I did, assembling some skinks and working on test bases. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThalmorRepresentative Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Took a month long break from a lot of life stuff. Coming back to the hobby with a renewed mindset - ready to try-hard again . Gearing up to work on some Aeldari this week.
