=] The 12 Months of Hobby 2022 [=

[WAR]

That’s gorgeous Jaipii

[Majkhel]

@Jaipii, thanks brother! I admit I'm recently having a lot of fun adding various colors to theoretically monochromatic schemes :)
I'm certain your RG would readily accept some spots of color too ;)
Speaking of RG, your Centurion is awesome! You are really throwing another gear in you skills. Great build too. Mind sharing how you upscaled him?

There's half a grav gun under the marine's feet. Those Centurions look waaaaay better proportioned with that leg extension!

 

I managed to take a break from painting tiny mechs just long enough to get the Reaver from January finished.

And another dodgy pic, but at least it gets me a Speed Demon

[Ace Debonair]

Sorry I've been gone so long, brothers, the last two months have been pretty crazy.

I didn't forget though, one model a month. Let's see if I can put one together at the last minute!

I, Ace Debonair, hereby embark once more on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge! For the month of February, I pledge to complete One (1) Poxwalker of the Hollow Knights Warband by month's end!

[Ace Debonair]

Forgive the double post, I've had to really speedrun this guy.

Vow complete, now I've got to get ready for work again.

Apparently retail never sleeps, forget has a day off

I love having half-completed poxwalkers around for the difficult months, dunno what I'll do when I run out of them

[Halandaar]

Cross-posting from the Anger and Arrogance thread, I've now also completed the Bonesinger and Farseer Skyrunner from my plodding along vow:

Then a Plodding Along vow, consisting of:

• Asuryani - Farseer Skyrunner
• Asuryani - Spiritseer
• Asuryani - Warlock
• Asuryani - Bonesinger
• Asuryani - Jain Zar
• Asuryani - Illic Nightspear
• Asuryani - Howling Banshees x5
• Asuryani - Wraithblades x5
• Asuryani - Support Platforms x2
• Asuryani - War Walker
• Asuryani - Wraithlord

[Brother Captain Arkley]

I, Wolf Guard Einar , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of March pledge to complete 3 Flamestorm Aggressors by month's end.

 

If I get them done quick I will vow more.

 

[sibomots]

I, sibomots, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of February pledge to complete Black Templar Keep Project by month's end.

 

[ snip]

 

Juggling the crusade with the other server thing and this 12MOH caused mayhem.   I'm going to take the hit on this, but it won't be long before I can catch up.   In due time, it'll all make sense.

[Trokair]

I have finished my What If Challenge model, so that is one model done in February.

However the rest of my vowed models (Commander and both Ghostkeels with their drones) will need to be revowed for March. I have done work on all of them, but none are in a finished state. Maybe 40% ish, the large details are mostly done, but the small detail work has not.

[conscriptboris]

My Terminator pledge for the month has seen me (not so well) trying some Greenstuff. tabard hanging between legs, and incantations scroll hanging down the Thunderhammer. Bulking out the shoulder pad also. Some chain and some bits attached also. I try to give even my standard troop some 'details', they are after all, individuals!

 

First attempt, waiting for it to set properly, then ill snip away some bits to give it the battle worn look.

 

Some progress phots;

 

 

@Grotsmasha, Im going to shift this into March. Once done, hopefully will set the template to full squads.

[Cleon]

I, Cleon, Continue on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of March pledge to complete 5 Grey Knight Interceptors, an Ironstrider and 10 Tzaangoats by month's end. I also am painting a Black Templar Bladeguard who I hope to get done.

[Brother Carpenter]

Really love the red on the centurion.

[Jaipii]

There's half a grav gun under the marine's feet. Those Centurions look waaaaay better proportioned with that leg extension!

Thank you very much! :Yes:

 

@TPS nicely spotted that Grav gun part! ;) The leg extensions are 2x halves of the Grav Amp bit. I'll be using the other halves for a second model (they look great too).

 

@Majkhel I've already added some red and gold there! I want it painted black! :D Seriously though some more colour would be great. Nothing too flashy though, because my Marines are stealthy boys ;)

 

The Centurion conversion in short:

1) Parts of the original legs under the Marines boots have been clipped and filed off.

2) Leg extenders glued under the Marines boots (half of Grav gun +green stuff balls as connectors to the feet)

3) The one-piece shin guards have been separated to make them two-piece

4) The upper body (torso) has been narrowed (hobby saw +file)

5) The shoulder pads and and head have been raised (small green stuff balls)

6) The weapon cables have been bent/filed/clipped a little bit to fit the more dynamic pose of arms. A little bit of green stuff was needed to fit the arms to the upper body

 

See this amazing tutorial on YouTube how to make it happen. Make Centurions look great by Jack of Clubs Painting!

I've mostly followed the tutorial, only small adjustments.

Edited February 28, 2022 by Jaipii

[Lord_Ikka]

Vow the second, finished. 5 Warriors, one Doomstalker, one converted Lord, and Grohh'Yod the Bleak-Host (Nightbringer count-as).

 

[Halandaar]

Well if we're doing March vows too, then I'll also lodge my next Anger and Arrogance vow here!

For my next vow, I'll go for Two Autarchs (one foot, one with Swooping Hawks Wings) for a total of 11 Power. And i'll be assembling then however looks coolest because to hell with kit-locked loadouts!

[Dwango]

Done.

I, Dwango, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of march pledge to complete 10 Wraithguard for Craftworld Mymeara by month's end.

February Summary

Heading into the second month of the Challenge for 2022, 34 of us took up the challenge to complete at least one model for February, pledging 330 models between us. Of those 34 Frater, 26 of us completed the challenge and 287 models, leaving 8 Frater earning the Next Month Badge for February.

We've also had 9 submissions for the What If? sub-challenge, the first of the four Challenge+ challenges. Valkia the Bloody is leading the way with two completed entries of Datasheet and finished models.

I have streamlined awarding the Badges a little compared to previous years, and have begun adding Badges earned in the first post of each Month as Completions are made. Please feel free to add them to your Signatures as you see them appear each month.

[YoungWolf7]

I, Youngwolf7, continue on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge. For the month of March, i vow the following to be completed by month's end:

 

• 11 Ork Shoota Boyz
• 2 Orks with Big Shootas
• 1 Ork Nob

 

[Jolemai]

February Update

10/14 complete

7 Infantry (Devastators) complete

[Halandaar]

Another cross-post here, but I've somehow already completed my March vow! I only intended to put initial colours down on these Autarchs but I'm having a lot of fun painting at the moment and figured I might as well ride that enthusiasm while I have it!

For my next vow, I'll go for Two Autarchs (one foot, one with Swooping Hawks Wings) for a total of 11 Power. And i'll be assembling then however looks coolest because to hell with kit-locked loadouts!

Vow Complete!

The banner on the foot Autarch is staying blank for now as I haven't thought about a Craftworld rune yet that would be the obvious thing to put there.

[toaae]

Also, I'm ready to vow my non-Sororitas unit for the month:

I, toaae, vow to complete in the month of February one Beastboss on Squigosaur:

Wurthok da Unkillable and his loyal steed Krush were completed:

[Jaipii]

@Halandaar

 

Those Autarchs look great! That simple colour palette looks really good :yes:

 

@toaee

 

He looks great! That orange squiqosaur is hot!

[Llagos_Tyrant]

Had an unexpectedly crazy month that prevented me from doing much painting. Still, managed to get my two Obliterators updated and finished my 6 Scarabs.

 

 

For now, I'm carrying over the remnants of my previous vow into March (5 Ultramarine Devastators,1 Iron Warrior Havoc, 5 Iron Warriors Terminators). Will have to try to get them done quickly to make way for starting to paint my WFB Dark Elves before an event in late April.
