So my knight may not get done for the year but this is my December vow (with three days left in the month)

 

 

Okay so I have finally made progress.  I give you the before shots:

 

Kavaros Thorr of  Zephaniah Adriyen's Scything Claw

Yuan Xian of  Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch's Dawn Blades

Hebron Asariah of Berzul's Wings of Dawn

Paen Deth of Smirnov's Shadow Lords

 

 

 

Bases will be done after painting.  Now to undercoat and paint as I have three days for the four and a knight. Something tells me I wont gt it all done.  But no matter.  I will focus on these four first obviously.

And my last vow, a Ork weirdboy. Thx to Grotsmasha and everyone participating in this challenge over the year.

 

[Dosjetka]

I've been out of the loop with this for a while now but I'm hoping to paint one last model for this challange this year!

I hope Frostbit3 will be happy with this chap. Now, onto painting!

[Trokair]

I had some painting time last night so I finished the gun armed Reiver squad.

 

Vow for December complete.

 

 

 

Thank you Gtorsmash for running this event all year long it has really helped keep me focused. I will take part in next year’s event as well.

[Dwango]

All done. Thanks for running the event Grot! Similar to the others, it has really helped me keep plodding on. Best get on with working out what I'm going to do for the 2020 event.

[Grotsmasha]

48hrs TO GET YOUR COMPLETIONS IN

[Brother Argent]

Just to quote this over here.  I will only post the revised pics in the other thread though.

 

 

So at first some crappy pics before I update them and fluff them out tomorrow:

 

 

Kavaros Thorr of  Zephaniah Adriyen's Scything Claw

Yuan Xian of  Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch's Dawn Blades

Hebron Asariah of Berzul's Wings of Dawn

Paen Deth of Smirnov's Shadow Lords

 

Colours are off because of washed out colors.  Will do better tomorrow.  Happy new year all...

Nice one

Time for an update on my pledge for 2019

 

 

I've also decided to pledge a unit to work on all year, I've had this piece of twisted and warped doo doo for 5 years....

 

I, Grotsmasha , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the year of 2019 pledge to gap-fill, paint, and base 1x Dark Angels Legion Caestus Assault Ram by year's end.

 

 

 

 

.... and this is what it looks like now....

 

 

 

 

 

yeah, I haven't touched it.... 

 

So last night, with no plans for the Evening, I decided it, and got cracking on with painting it anyway, gaps and all. I'm ~75% done.

 

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Looking good so far!!

Slow Burn complete

[Grotsmasha]

So the model was sitting there, finished and then I had a stupid idea I couldn't not do, so I decided to *try* heat discolouration on the metal parts of the Caestus. It didn't turn out awesome, but then I'm not a Pro Painter^TM. I'm please with the result (mostly) and may attempt to even the result out a bit better in the future, but for now, I'm leaving it.

 

 

 

And with that, my 2019 is done. 12 successful months of Hobbying, and my Plodding Along pledge completed too.

[Gederas]

I seriously want a Caestus Assault Ram..... They need to bring back that model soon.

 

In any case, yours looks really good Grot!

Argh! How much time do I have to finish my mini?

 

Being a bit hungover and trying to paint a mini that has been fighting me all the way is making progress a bit slow.

[Grotsmasha]

You've got all of the 2nd, I'll be wrapping up sometime on my 3rd, about 36hrs or so from now

[Trokair]

Grotsmasha, congrats on the Caestus, so after 364 of days of no activity on your yearlong project you suddenly spring this on us on the last day! Good for you.

 

The heat distortions look good to me, maybe a little heavy in places but who knows how many maneuvers it has been on since its last overhaul.

 

 

Jolemai, congrats on the knight and the custom crated symbols on him.

[Dosjetka]

With only a few hours to spare, I declare my final vow for this year complete!

 

 

 

 

 

Battle-Brother Mraz Mordent, Combat Squad Leader, 6th Reserve Company, Soul Takers Chapter

 

'Brother Mordent is seen here upon the surface of Vur, a planet situated in the far reaches of Segmentum Tempestus, leading a sweep to scout out the foe that eradicated the research base Mechanicus teams deep in the Vurian jungles of the southern continent. His raised hand seems to be some sort of battle-cant signal to the rest of his unit though its exact meaning remains unclear.

This Space Marine was given command over four of his brethren and displayed great promise for a leadership position. His service amongst the lauded Legio, represented by the distinct pad he wears on his left shoulder, only helped to cement a bright future for the young Astartes.

Mraz Mordent was KIA shortly after this pic-capture was taken, slain by an unknown Xeno bioform. His body, equipment, and geneseed remain unrecovered.'

[Azaiel]

And my Ork Weirdboy is done, this mini fought me the whole way. Bits fell of, I dropped it twice, repainted some parts etc etc. It was also my first try with Hexwraith flame, the colour on the staff orb was a happy accident. I had some watered down white that I slapped on the black undercoat that resulted in the black patchiness(?). The red piece on the base is a tiny mushroom from the squig herd box. Please excuse the bad pics, there is no sunlight to speak of here.

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Nice work everyone!! They look great all of them!

[Grotsmasha]

The 12 Months of Hobby Challenge for 2019 is Officially complete.

 

 

 

I will complete the December update (hopefully) tomorrow, and then I'll begin work on a year overview, and try and tally total models etc. I know most of you have seen it, but there's a new thread open for the 12 Months of Hobby 2020, and I'd love to see you all there

[Grotsmasha]
