@Shock & Awe Yes, models count for the month in which they are finished. Of course, next year I won't be running this and someone else may want to tweak the rules a bit.

@klatschi okay. If you manage to find time I will catch it and update the tracking sheet. Man, where does time go, amiright?

Tracking sheet should be up to date again now. If I have missed anything, let me know by PM. I am going to stop monitoring this thread to watch the October one now. Great work this month.

What is her station? We decided that for 0SS models to go with 12 SS for henchmen, 10 for enforcers.

Because I work >70 hr/wk and haven't had a chance to go back through all the posts this month to find the things I missed. But I will.

@djmacbest Nice start to the month! I appreciate that you have a great thematic back drop for your models here. Cheers!

I have been having a lot of fun learning Sandeep Desai over the past month or so. I will continue to fill in his crew with three Shasta Vidiya Guards this month.

Welcome to the October painting challenge. 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.). Rules: Models count for the month in which you finish them. Everyone may fail to make their monthly goal twice and stay in the challenge, but that means it is now too late to sign up this year. 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. Post this by the end of the month. And include the total soul stones painted. We are down to about half of those brave souls who started. Good work hanging in there everyone left! Okay, ready, ..., and go!

Sure thing, MunkyMuddFace!

Here are my finished models for September. I am happy with the basing of the wind gamin, but not the paint job. It needed more contrast, but I am moving on. The librarian is okay, but a bit bland, paint-wise. Kandara is a joy to paint, look at, and play. Can't see any of the shading or details in this photo. Must learn to take good photographs someday. The one thing that did show through is the metal reflection effect on her bracelets and leg thingees, which I am glad of. The idea with her was to have her floating just above the floor, with the runes in the flow glowing brightly underneath her, and fading with distance from her. Base is by microarts studio/cmon. (2 x 4 SS) + (2 x 7 SS) = 22 SS for September.

@djmacbest You're still in! We all have strings of life events once in a while---I took a mulligan last month as well. Welcome back.

Lots of great work this month! Welcome @Shock & Awe. I should have the tracking sheet up to date now. Into the final stretch for this month---it is going to be a busy weekend for painting, although you still have the following Saturday to finish up this month's pledges. My plan (tentative enough that I should put quotation marks around it) is to finish up September models this weekend, assemble some in the final week, and be ready to put a brush to them on Sunday Oct. 1.

Here are work in progress photographs of my Wind Gamin. The idea is to make them look like they are flying around clouds, high above the landscape found on an old issue of Dragon magazine. I have the nucleus of the clouds attached to hide the piano wire holding them up. I will add cotton to this cloud center with the hopes that it will appear more dense in the middle and diffuse outwards. It will at least give me a strong core to glue the rest of the cloud to. The cloud nuclei are lichen sprayed with watered-down PVA, then covered in crazy glue, then primed white. ... and they didn't upload. Back in a few ... Still not working. Darn. Will try again tomorrow, and see if the Wyrd computer goblins are still there.

@SoylentRobot Great! Love the metal work onTalos.

Hey, no problem, klatschi. I just did the same last month (the Mulligan, not the house). :-)

Correct on both: models count during the month they are finished, and masters are 15 SS.

Thanks @Burnin' Coal. I am back at it, although slowly. I have the wind gamin bases well underway. Need to get a WIP photo of the four models up soon. I couldn't resist getting Kandara started. She is great on the table!

No, I wouldn't know how to score it. But, this is a great idea for another monthly challenge.
