prof_bycid Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 May: I am opening up the May thread two days early as I will be out of contact for about a week. Rest assured that I will update the tracking sheet with your April models when I get back to civilization at the end of the first week of May. What is this?: This is a friendly painting community, not a competition. Remember that this is a fan-based thing only, and is not sponsored or approved by Wyrd in any way (i.e., screw-ups are on me, not them.). I am simply continuing the tradition started by Jaxx23 and Vaiuri and maybe others before them. I may offer a prize, if I can figure out how to make the judgement with different people in different categories. Maybe one prize for each category for the person who hits the goal every month and paints the most above the limit? Maybe if y'all promise to not get too competitive on me, we'll see. Rules: can be found in the Monthly painting challenge enrollment post. Or just ask me. Most importantly at this point, everyone gets two misses before being booted. So, if you join now you are already at strike 2. Finished models count for the month in which they are posted, i.e., post your models before the end of the month. Tracking sheet can be found at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fUeZczizoFoMjwVDcJVpJtYkKiRvTOf5HpniRHrmijU/edit?usp=sharing Posting: At the START of the month: post a photo of your unpainted minis and any plans for them you have. In the MIDDLE of the month: post work in progress photos if you want, or just banter about ideas. At the END of the month: post your finished models and the Soul Stone Cost painted, and I will get this on the tracking sheet. Aaaaaannnnnnnnnnd GO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 My models for May will be Luther and Genbu! I have been wanting to get some paint on these since Adepticon 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_diogenes Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm definitely aiming to finish the Toshiro and Yan Lo that I started this week, beyond that my queue is quite deep again, I think I'll definitely get to Izamu, Chiaki and 3 Ashigaru. That's what...55 stones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hello, I have to finish the Ramos box in May. So I'll try to paint these two: I have already started as you can see. I've applied a brown primer, a brown wash, orange drybrush and metalic drybrush. I have to give them more life now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustAndTheCity Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I finished Nellie last month. This month my goal is to finish Phiona, the printing press, and a field reporter. We're doing a Rapid Growth league here so these models will be for the league. I'll try and post a WIP picture part way though (Chrome is giving me issues adding a picture at the moment). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatschi Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I am trying to catch up on last month and finish the Ulix Box and start painting the Zipp-Box. So my plan is: Ulix (15ss), 3 Iron Skeeters (18ss) --> 32 ss in total :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 First of May, first of May, outdoor...painting...starts today. Well, not really, as it's been an on-and-off downpour for the last few days and doesn't look like much is changing soon. Luckily, painting (and gluing) can just as easily take place indoors! For May I'll be whipping up a few mercenaries. Namely: Sue, a librarian, a trapper, and two Ronin (guess I better decide which two), along with my Easter self-present, the Nightmare Coryphee. Total comes to 47 soulstones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnin' Coal Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Have to say first off how much I am enjoying seeing all the different takes on models...totally inspiring For May and 9SS I will finish Carlos Vasquez who I started last month... then I will carry on with the Performer theme with two Coryphee for 7SS each....If I get on well with those I will start on one of the Mounted Guards I just picked up 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CactusJack Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 So for May I'll be working towards finishing the Slurids, Gupp Swarms, Sanctioned Spellcaster and Governor's Proxy that I proposed in March. The Slurids have not been cooperating so I've rebase coated two of them as punishment. I'm also adding 2 Guild Riflemen to the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsinrebornx Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Another month, and some more painting to be done. This month, I am settling in with the storms and bringing in a little Thunder of my own! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMuddFace Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 My May pledge will be Molly and a couple of punks for 27SS. The start on the punks are pretty old, from 1+ (necropunk) and 2+(punk zombie) years ago. I am not going to strip them, but I am going to paint over what is there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monomatana Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 My May: Molly (15 ss), university of trasmortis (32 ss), carion effigy (4 ss), guild autopsy (12 ss) and Bete Noir (8 ss). 71 ss total. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chou Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Here are my models for May: The two freikorps I didn't paint in April (2 x 5 SS) + 2 December Acolytes (2 x 7 SS) + Wendigo (3 SS) = 27 SS. If there is time left I'll squish Leveticus in May, if not he'll wait until June. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandmann Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Models based, basecoated and the metallics done (as you can see, the wash was still drying on them when I took the photo). On to all the details... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kutslo Posted May 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Some great work already! That printing press especially looks really nice @RustAndTheCity! I forgot to take pics before I started painting, but I've been working on Snow Storm and some Ice Dancers for this month so far. Snow Storm is pretty close to being finished I think, mainly just the base now - anyway here's a quick WIP shot Sorry about the terrible photo!! Hopefully it gives an idea of what I'm going for... will take some proper ones when they're done 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
