Xenith Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 That's missing completions for August? That's missing vows for August! It is summer, after all, folks will just have to play catch up in the Autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 The deadline is 2nd of September right? 1st Sept, so get them on before midnight GMT on the first! Realistically, I'll cut-off at 9am GMT on the second when I get online and check, so anything before that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lunkhead Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) THEY'RE BAAAAAK....... and looking for pie It's been a heck of a month, but I'm back, armed with plenty of paint pots and ready to do battle for the greater glory of Hive Fleet Zorak. Since July was a total bust, I'm moving my vow to August, so...... I, Brother Lunkhead, for the greater glory of Hive Fleet Zorak and the never ending hunt for pie, pledge to paint one Genestealer Brood (20 Genestealers, 16 PL (I think)/300 Pts (I think) for the month of August. I did things a little different with this batch. I still primed with Grey Seer, but omitted the dry brush of layers of Corax White and White Scar that I used on my Brood Lord. This was my base coat to which I applied two layers of Sybarite Green. I then added base details with Temple Guard Blue, Leadbelcher, Kabalite Green, and Phalanx Yellow. I did some touch ups late this afternoon and was very pleased with the results. I see no difference in brightness between my little gribblies and their Brood Lord. Here's what I have so far: The colors are a bit washed out....I'm still trying to work out the filter thang Tonight they get a slathering of Agrax Earthshade, and tomorrow morning I start detailing. I don't know how it works for anyone else, but for me getting the base colors on is the most laborious part of modeling and least fun (not fun at all for me). But once that's done, detailing is a fast and fun chore This should be finished soon I'll post updates. Until then, remember..... Zorak loves pie...... and so should you Edited August 27, 2021 by Brother Lunkhead WarriorFish and Xenith 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 So I have been fairly occupied by my Thousand Sons this month, built a whole bunch and played some games, but I did squeeze in some painting time. I chose not to use the darker wood on the Hormagaunts, so that I can more easily/quickly tell them apart from the Genestealers and Termagant that both use it. I rather liked the effect so was also more sparing of the darker wood on the Zoanthropes (basically just the bow), should contrast nicely to the Warriors. The arrow is a psychic smites, hence why it is in the energy purple, I have also put more purple on these guys than any of the others to emphasis the psychic nature of these.

Damon Nightman Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Oh boy I am running out of time.. very little progress so far. The completions are looking great!

Rogue Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 That's a lovely looking monster, Arson. I've manged to over-run my expectations this month, and painted a whole three models instead of one. That's 2.25 power levels that could really shake up the leaderboard. Or happy to stick with the 0.75 I pledged in the first place.

The Pounder Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Majestic looking Toxicrine/Maleceptor Arson Fire! Well, I’ve managed to complete my vow for this month!! It was a close run thing but I smashed out 8 Termagants in 2 days (I usually paint one model an evening!) Tyranids Termagants Tyranids Termagants I’m going for an easier vow next month, I think I’ll do a Carnifex.

TrawlingCleaner Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's about time I got back to my gribblies, I haven't touched them for about 3 years! May as well chuck myself in at the deep end I, TrawlingCleaner, vow to complete; 1 Jackal Alphus, 4 Atalan Jackals and 1 Wolfquad, 5 Acolyte Hybrids and 10 Neophyte Hybrids to a total of 17 PL (268 points), in the month of September WarriorFish, The Pounder, Rogue and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Lunkhead Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hive Fleet Zorak Gathers July/August vow is finally completed Twenty genestealers painted and ready for action. It's probably just as well that I took so long as I wasn't so sure of the paint scheme I'd chosen. I liked they way the Broodlord turned out, but when I started looking at all those genestealers, I wasn't so sure. In my mind they just didn't look quite right, but since I wasn't going to strip my HQ and start over again, the die was cast. Fortunately, it all turned out well in the end. Once I got the base coats on, I figured out what to do. If I'd rushed it at the end of July, these griblies would have looked very different, and not in a good way. I think they look pretty okay. That little spore in front of each genestealer looks ......... a bit odd. I may chop these off .....later. Even though taking the extra time to finish this was the right move, I'm now one moth behind. That means bundling two months of minis in one. Fortunately, I'll still have fewer models to paint. My army thus far. The hunt for pie continues Zorak is hungry.... for pie WarriorFish, Azekai, Arson Fire and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halandaar Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well, I failed to get my Warriors done in time so I'm going to roll them over to September, and I'll raise the stakes with a Hive Crone for an additional 8 PL.

Rogue Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Looking forward to seeing that lot painted up, TrawlingCleaner. What do you play them as? This month I'm back on the characters, for a few more power levels. Well, I say characters; I mean character - one Jackal Alphus, for 4 PL. I forgot to take a photo before I started painting, so this represents one evening's work - she was bare plastic when I started.

Trokair Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Another moth, more Treeranids to do. After the horde last month I want to try a big one, so one count us Carnifex. As that looked a bit lonely on the painting table, I also added my three Biovore stand-ins, and at that point I might as well add the 12 spore mines.

Arson Fire Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 For September I'll pledge to paint this Tyrannocyte, along with 6 termagants. The tyrannocyte will be interesting. Lots of fleshy stuff on there, which won't look quite right if I make it all the standard red behemoth exoskeleton colour. So I'm thinking I'll blend flesh tones into red again, like I did with the toxicrene tentacles. But over a much larger and more complicated surface.
