Painters Challenge 2016 - SEPTEMBER

[Vaiuri]

As I'm out of the country for most of September I thought I'd start this thread now - so don't panic, August isn't over yet!

This is the thread for SEPTEMBER.

Feel free to use this thread to post WIP photos (if you so desire), get feedback, trade ideas and hobby tips as we forge a path through September.

When you have completed your pledge, feel free to post it, but I'd like everyone to post at the start of OCTOBER with their completed pledge photo and stone value for SEPTEMBER - this will make it a lot easier for me to keep track of where everyone is up to.  Plus, we get to start off subsequent months with some inspirational posts of what people have gotten up to the month before   You can also PM me with your completed pledge if you like, and I'll add it to our tracker (to be updated!).

 

Many thanks for your patience as I've been a bit tardy with starting these posts the last couple of months.  Also, a big welcome to the folks who are just joining us - I'm really looking forward to seeing your models!

Here are my finished mannequins and Oxfordian Mage for August.  This was my first real attempt at non-metallic metal, and has convinced me that i I need to watch some tutorials on this technique.  I am sold on this instead of using metallic paint, but need to practice. 

This is 2 x 4 SS for the mannequins = 8 SS. 

For September I will paint 3 flying monkeys, and finish up the slate ridge mauler, now that it has an upgrade to make it worth adding to a Marcus crew.

I am now sold on using natural outdoor light to take photographs.  I think these photos came out much better than my previous ones.

Cheers all.

For some reason I cant see your picture on my screen, either on my phone.

Is anyone else not able to see it? I've been having issues embedding pictures from the new Google photos.

[Rathnard]

I failed hard in August. I did plenty of assembly but didn't paint a damn thing.

[prof_bycid]

I couldn't see it either, Rust.  Just a link-looking line that doesn't link.

[RustAndTheCity]

Okay. Google photos keeps changing and seems to be troublesome to embed. I'll just use the gallery on here. So here they are...

The doctors are for a painting competition next week.

[SoylentRobot]

For September I'm getting this lot finished

Fistful of Scrip, Convict Gunslingers, Hans, Lazarus, Ryle, Hannah, and the last few models from Guilty as Charged (the rest of which I finished last week).

[Bengt]

In August I completed

• 3 The Drowned - 18 SS
• 3 Malifaux Raptors - 9 SS

For a total of 27 SS

I then spent two weeks to finish my Large Arachnids and the Mobile Toolkit, so they slipped into September...  In addition to those I have Take back the night, Union Miners and Night Terrors in the queue.

Closeups.

[Viruk]

In August I painted these for a total of 42ss:

 

For September I plan to paint Neverborn models from the starter box:

so many great looking August entries!

I would like to like to throw my hat in for September, coming back to the game and hobby after a break (just couldn't devote the time I would have liked to it) I have my Torch and Blade crew box, and want to pick the 3 witchlihg stalkers from it for my September offerings!

[RustAndTheCity]

Viruk, I'm hoping to paint the neverborn starter models too. I've got them all assembled. We'll see though. I really want to paint miss fire when my order finally arrives.

That is something I want to see! Rusty"s Miss Fire!

[TedThunders]

Hate to do it, but necessity calls for me to use my second and final Mulligan for the challenge. Hopefully the summer's end will lead to a little more productivity on my side. This has been a great inspiration to keep painting, so I hope to see it through to the end.

In fact I've already painted them. You can see pics here. These will be for a friend.

I saw this at Attack X.  I knew it looked familiar when I saw it tonight and I figured your location made sense.   What was the final result?

I was fortunate to finish first in squad with this entry. There were lots of great entries this year. Then I got to play with them in henchman hardcore on the Sunday. :-)

I'n new to this challenge and as my time is a bit limited this month I'm going to make it easy and paint 2 Soulstone Miner

[Franchute]

Hello everybody,

I would like to show you what I've managed to paint so far this month. Here are a hunter and the mechanical attendant: 

The light on the picture is pretty bad. I'm sorry for this. I should definitely have my own "studio". I'm curious to know which box @Viruk and @RustAndTheCity use to take their pictures. What do you guys use?
