=] 12 Months of Hobby Challenge 2019 [=

[Sabadin]

Sometimes stubbornness pays off, July's pledge completed, with obligatory potato pics

[Grotsmasha]

I'm so glad you've persevered, Abaddon looks fantastic :tu:

[Oshikai]

So much great Stuff Guys :D, love it all.

 

Abaddon is the Bomb! 

 

Love the clean and crisp work on those Death Watch Marines, is there a Plog or something for them?

 

 

One question, sorry if I am just too blind to find it. When exactly does the Dead Line end for this Month...not that I am cutting it close or something 

[Grotsmasha]

The deadline is a loose 48hrs (plus however long the update takes) from the 1st of each month @ GMT+10 Timezone. It's a pretty relaxed fit off...

[Brother Argent]

And I declare July done...

[Trokair]

Well, July has not been a kind month. I have had hardly any time but I did manage to finish my Master of Signals and the tactical squad I was working on, just. Picture to follow tomorrow, and I’ll try to catch up with the tread as well then.

Edit: Picture, sorry for the delay, discovered that my batteries had gone flat so had to buy some new one first.

12 Months of Hobby July Summary

With July complete, we're officially over the halfway hump and have begun the journey home. The Challenge saw 13 returning Frater pledging for another round, with two newcomers joining Challenge this month. Of the 14 Frater who vowed, 13 managed to complete their vows, with most members completing additional models, thanks in no small part to the ETL. Juul saw us complete an impressive 64 models, three of which were vehicles. This leaves just 1 Frater who failed their pledge for July.

My apologies guys, I've not had time to track where you are all up to with your ETL Vows/Badges. To be eligible for a Badge, You need to have Vowed here and completed your ETL Vow.

For Example: to earn the 5th Vow Badge, you need to have vowed 5 models here, each from a DIFFERENT ETL vow, and completed those models here, even if the ETL is not complete itself.

Last month of ETL, show us what you've got

Although Papa Nurgle laid me low for two whole weeks, he did not prevent my July Completion, he did however severely lessen it, I'm scaping in with just one of the 7 Terminators pledged, the Assault Cannon.

For August I'll be completing the rest of the squad, and finishing my ETL Vow 5

Edited August 7, 2019 by Grotsmasha

[Brother Argent]

Okay so no before pic at the moment but for August I am going to vow 1 Brother Argent (Grimaldus counts as) as well as his three accompanying serfs (Cenobyte servitor counts as)

 

They will be part of my next ETL vow.

[Sabadin]

For August I'll be vowing to finish my ETL vow of 36 Genestealers, pic to follow later.

[TheOneTrueZon]

Well July went by fast. Did this last night to get my first speed demon badge! 

 

11:00 PM July 31

 

1:30 AM August 1st

[Oshikai]

Sadly only fnished one so far for completion sake, the others are not far behind tho and I hope to finish them along side my upcoming August Pledge.

 

 

Edit and managed to finish another one, really need to grab my proper Camera

Cutting it ultra close for July completion! Spent the last couple of days redoing the powersword, still not entirely happy with it but you have to call it done at some point...

[Oshikai]

Sadly to Late for the Cutoff, still chuffed to have them finished (Apart from the Gem and Lense Work I completely forgot and the Combat Knife). My first Models in Years  , happy Days. There are indivdual pics in my Plog.

 

 

For the Month of August I am pledging another Squad of Grey Hunters, although I will be happy if I manage one, have a paper to finish which is driving me crazy.

The good news is, the criteria for the challenge is 1 model, regardless of how many you pledge. The two models posted above secured your Completion :tu: Edited August 6, 2019 by Grotsmasha

[Grotsmasha]

July Summary complete guys :tu:

[Oshikai]

Whoot ...I got a Badge...Made my Day! It really did

Thank you kindly. Most importantly I a still Chuffed that I finished something, this whole Thing is actually working

[Trokair]

Oshikai, your space wolves are looking great, Also like the grey grey as opposed to the blue grey armour on these.

Arkhanist, form what I can see that powers word looks great, don’t worry yourself about it.

The One True Zon, that was quick, and looking good as well. Where is the model from?

Sabadin, jaw dropping work on Abby!

Gederas, I can see that the arms have been Primarised, the rest I cannot tell. I assume he is taller now as well?

Blissful Brushes, well that is an undertaking, good luck!

Dwango, that bases on the Venomcrawler is so good, how did you do the water/ice effect?

Now for August, this is going to be a hard month as I still need to finish my ETL vow.

I, Trokair, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete one Rapier Quad Mortar by month's end.

I have done 26 out of 90 modles from my ETL Vow, so if I cannot finish the rest, which does seem likly rigth now, then I will finish at least the Quad Mortars. Picture is from my ETL vow:

[Gederas]

I, Gederas, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of August pledge to complete one Primaris Master with Power Fist and Plasma Pistol by month's end.

 

ETL vow 4:

[Dwango]

Dwango, that bases on the Venomcrawler is so good, how did you do the water/ice effect?

Hey thanks Trokair! It was my first attempt at an ice base. I followed this tutorial -

it's somewhere around the 3 hour mark. I just put my own spin on it by creating a well using mainly cork and some green stuff, before adding resin. I added slate and stones to try and simulate the space marine effect that's in the video too. The resin did seep out of the cork so it's definitely best to have a less porous edge to it.

 

You've definitely got your work cut out with your vow. I hope you make it! I really enjoy looking at your finished work!

[Dwango]

The master of possession is complete along with vow 3 for the ETL.

For me it's Vow 3 complete!

Group shot.

[Dwango]

I, Dwango , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of July/August pledge to complete a Chaos Fallen Lord by month's end.

I Dwango rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Chaos Space Marine Forum and vow to complete

1 fallen lord with a plasma pistol and powerfist.- 88

of total value 88 points

on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end

This will hopefully mean I have time to get a spawn or two in for my next vow!

[Rogue]

Back from camp, and ready for August's painting challenge. Which means that I, Rogue, pledge to complete yet another Leman Russ battle tank before the end of August.

 

Here's how it looks at the moment:

 

[Grotsmasha]

So I realised I'd forgotten to put this here, the remainder of the Assault Cannon dudes squad, and my August Vow,

7 man Mixed Weapon Squad

Hidden Content

and with that, my 5th Vow, and ETL VII effort is complete
