The Monthly Vow - October - make a promise and keep it!

I'm basically doing a tournament this weekend so probably won't get a lot done there (though I'm fielding a Sliscus list so want to finish Duchess by then - I like my odds).

Duchess was finished on time - and taught a few Space Wolves and Blood Angels that even one of the "weaker" in assault DE ICs is still not to be trifled with.

I'll assemble and paint (at least partially) all my infantry models. I'm gonna need some serious inspiration from the Dark Muses, as 60 miniatures are still waiting on their sprues

In the name of the Father of Poisons and his flesh born daughter the Lady No'ki Van'Kar I vow to complete...

* Haywire Blaster Scourge Unit
* Four "man" Wrack Unit (Heami's body guard)
* Put the finishing touches on the Venom (including base)

* Update Pain Engine

(That should be enough with moving and trying to get my Astral Claws legal).

Finish my BA chaplin, base the 30 odd sanguinary guard. Then file and assemble and base and prime my 10 metal mandrakes and 10 metal incubi.

If I have more time then I'll work on my warhammer chaos.

Two weeks left...

I've really accomplished next to nothing this past week. Sort of finished putting together the Ravagers and the Baron. Also finished getting the base skin and the shading of the skin on the Orks.

Still to do;

Highlight Ork skin.
Paint everything else on the Orks...
Basecoat Baron and Ravagers.
Paint Baron and Ravagers.

Oy!

This weekend I ought to be able to put a big hole in something as long as I don't get lazy, and I better if I want to stay close to my goal.

Almost all of it is put together now and basecoated (other than one of the Razorwings) got my main color picked out and an unquie idea on painting the Razorwings. The underside of them with be blue with clouds and birds painted on them to "blend" into the sky like our modern combat planes.

I won't promise any painting, but here is what's on my workbench for October:

-Build a Venom (Complete)
-Build 5 Scourge (Complete)
-Build 10 Trueborn (5 Done)
-Build 3 Reavers
-Build 10 Wyches
-Build 20 Hellions (5 Done)
-Build Baron Sarthonyx
-Strip and repair 5 Wracks
-Strip and repair Venom
-Strip and repair Razorwing
-Strip and repair 3 Reavers

I made and painted some bases for my Scourge. I'm not sure I'll get to all of this before November, but I'll come close.

After the wekend I finished all the flesh tones on my Orks and have got a lot of the basic colors worked in, pants, shirts, teef, ect. I still have a lot of weaponry/armor to paint (gotta get some rusty shootas don't'cha'know) and more shading/highlighting work and a lot of individual little touches (I paint my Orks with a very 'open' army scheme because I don't think Orks have set uniforms - consequently they're touchy to do in batches).

The Ravagers and Baroness still mock me from the desktop. *sigh*

Also, am out all weekend filming it looks like, so less paint time. *sigh*

I think the Orks will definitely get finished, and maybe the Ravagers - I'm starting to doubt that I'll get to the Baroness though.

Sod it. I vow to paint two small orkish barricades and a "Comorrite Stalagmite" piece of terrain by the end of the month.

Done! More small terrain based projects ahoy, methinks. Mainly for when November rolls around.

Wooosh! If Cailos pulls all that off he wins October (and a good month for a lot of DE stuff anyway )

^^No doubt!

Finish my Wyche Raider
Convert and paint my Wrack Coven Raider
Convert and paint 4 Blasterborn
Assemble and paint another Ravager
Actually start a project log.

And if Tamiya's factory in Japan comes back online- buy and apply the Teal Clearcoat to these vehicles and last month's Venoms/Ravager.

Might need to edit this...this month is not going well with teaching sequences and lesson plan revisions.

I have alot of work to get done.

For the Dark Kin and the feel of pain.

Have to add a Haem to that aswell. He is made just needs paint.

The Haem, Wracks, and Talos are removed from this list because I will be trading them for some more stuff.

I will paint three wyches and finish my damned raider.

1 Succubus Done
9 Bloodbrides (with 3 Hydrablades) Done
5 Scourges Done
atleast 1 Raides (see if i can get 2 done) Build, but not painted
1 Ravager Build, but not painted

Well... as i am going on vacation tonight and won't be back for a week, looks like i failed this month

I probably would not be able to finish my stuff. My whole house is one gigant building site, with all my stuff packed into cardboard boxes

I'm still holding solid for Orks - and I think the Ravagers as well. We;ll see...

I will have the Voidraven and RO Grots done no worries. The Tantalus remains elusive.

One squad of warriors down, two hydragauntlet wyches almost done, 10 scourges assembled with a base coat on them, one raider 80% done. I think I'll probably actually get at least 70% pf my goals completed.

What about the camera

Yeah... I need a lot of things back from my mother but I question whether I will ever see any of them again.

I made it - raider and three wyches finished!

Its happened! I have my camera back ^__________^ I have also finished those hydragauntlet wyches, and the raider.

Expect pictures later today or sometime tomorrow.

I will not be able to finish my vow but I got most of my stuff done and I can't find my camera.

Weird, I've got my camera but can't seem to find any time to paint...

I got my blood angels done.. just about.. Need to give them a photo sesh later and there's 4 more characters that are on the back burner.

Next month - Warriors of chaos - spray and dip job!
