prof_bycid Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Welcome to the August 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.). I am simply continuing the tradition started by Jaxx23 and Vaiuri and maybe others before them. Rules: can be found in the Monthly painting challenge enrollment post. Or just ask me. 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. And go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 This month I will be doing a Freikorps librarian for my academics list, and two wind gamin. I have an idea that I haven't tried yet for a wind gamin. Need to dig up some supplies to pull it off. There was a lot of great painting in July. Let's keep it up as we pass the half-way mark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Mysterious Emissary, I also plan to use the Little fairies separately as Changelings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehouse Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 @Viruk Be careful when cutting the base, the plastic is quite hard to cut at some places - easy to slip off with a knife. When you use clippers, prepare to sacrifice the hand of the changeling close to the emissaries foot 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure to be extra careful. I'll probably start tomorrow or the day after, will post some wip pics next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4ml3t Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm going to start with a Jackalope (Reaper Proxy) and Dawn Serpent. From there I also hope to finish Carlos and Miss Fire. Might also get some work done on (or distracted by) my Smoke and Mirrors box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 This month I'll be ambitious: * Marcus - 15SS * Coryphee - 4x7SS = 28SS (I have four since I'm quite clumsy basing so instead of using the same two coryphees for the duet I got an extra box just for the duet). * Rogue necromancy - 10SS * Dawn serpent - 10SS * Sabertooth Cerberus - 9SS * Slate ridge mauler - 8SS In total, 80SS. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMuddFace Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 My LGS is hosting a story encounter achievement league this month. One of the achievements is to play all 8 of the Masters from your declared faction. I am rolling Outcasts because I have 7 out of 8 Masters ready to hit the table. This month, by pledges will be the remaining master I need, plus some key models for other Masters. Jack Daw: 15SS Scion of the Void: 8SS Rat King: 8SS Jaakuna Ubume: 6SS (picture to come - I have not purchased her yet!) Total of 37SS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm starting the month strong with 1 model already done. Gimme 2 points for an alt Jackalope. Boom! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Prepping for an upcoming local tourney, so back to my home faction for a bit. Nightmare Coryphee (2x7ss), Wind Gamin (3x4ss) to start with, then the Hodgepodge Effigy (4ss) and maybe finish up Sue (8ss)...maybe. If so, that'd be 38ss, but if a few orders come in to my LGS, maybe adding a few more things later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4ml3t Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 WIP on my Dawn Serpent. Just have eyes, teeth and tongue done and base coats on everything else. I plan to take the yellow areas to orange and red and of course the green scales need much work. 1/2 the moustache broke off and is lost so I'm going with a plain snout. 😥 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsinrebornx Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Look at me, so rusty after just one month that I had already started slopping paint on a model before I took the picture to get myself back in the game. This month has: Will O Wisp x3 - 9SS Widow Weaver - 8SS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hello, I received a package last Friday and got motivated with painting again. I finished two soulstone miners this weekend. I would like to post pictures but photobucket doesn't make things easy anymore. What are you guys using now? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I guess I finally managed to post a picture. Here it is: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmann Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 @Franchute I use ImgBB, so far really good. You can still use a workaround for photobucket: put "~original" after the image-link (inside the IMG-tags), it should display the image instead of photobuckets "please pay us 400$ a year for a service that used to be free"-message! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Franchute - lovely work on the metallics @Sandmann - I like the bright colors you've used, they go well with the Wild West feel of the model I've finally started painting the Emissary. So far I've just outlined main colors with airbrush but at least that's a start 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
