Caedrus Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Another month begins! This is the thread for the February 2019 Monthly Painting Challenge. I’m Caedrus, and I’ll be your host for 2019. February: the shortest month. The pressure is on! If you’d like to be part of this challenge, please introduce yourself below, and post what level you’ll be painting at! The painters who have already signed up have their details put into the spreadsheet here. The 2019 Wyrd Monthly Painting Challenge is all about: Having fun painting! Motivating yourself, and encouraging others. Being part of a great, friendly community. Giving and receiving constructive advice. And, finally: Getting some pigment onto plastic! This is not a competition in any way. The pledge categories are the following: Minion: you paint at least 1 soulstone worth of Malifaux miniatures each month Enforcer: you paint at least 6 soulstones worth of Malifaux miniatures each month Henchman: you paint at least 11 soulstones worth of Malifaux miniatures each month Master: you paint at least 16 soulstones worth of Malifaux miniatures each month Tyrant: you paint at least 31 soulstones worth of Malifaux miniatures each month The rules: The challenge started on January 1st, 2019. Models count for the month in which you finish them. You can finish painting a model that you started before the beginning of the month. Everyone may fail to make their monthly goal twice and stay in the challenge. This is using a mulligan. You can choose to go down a pledge level during the year, but you cannot move up. You may choose to sign up during a later month for the challenge but this means that you'll have to use one or two of the aforementioned mulligans: e.g. if you start in February, one mulligan will automatically be used because you missed January; if you start in March, two mulligans will already be used; you can’t start in April. A model is considered painted if it is (1) based (even glued onto a black base counts); (2) tournament legal. That means that if it's a translucent, based model, it counts automatically. If it is any opaque material, then the standard is: Every part of the miniature painted, and three colours minimum. Miniature Values: Malifaux Almost all models count as their Soulstone value; Masters count for 15 soulstones. Zero cost models count for 5 soulstones. Proxies (constructed from Wyrd models) count for their proxy value. The Other Side Almost all models count as their Scrip cost in soulstones; Commanders count for 15 soulstones. Adjunct models count for 5 soulstones. Titans are worth triple their scrip cost in soulstones. Terrain Terrain is worth 5 soulstones per 50mm base. Custom tokens are worth 5 soulstones per 50mm base A terrain board is worth 100 Soulstones. 3rd Edition? If Malifaux 3rd Edition hits in 2019, then the month that the PDF version is available, we will begin using the new values if they differ from M2E. How to upload images? Go to imgur.com, and create an account. Click on your account, click on 'images', and then 'add images'. Click on your uploaded image. You'll see a whole bunch of link options. Click on the 'copy' button next to 'direct link'. Go to your Wyrd Forum thread. Paste (CTRL-V) at the appropriate spot. The image should appear, resized appropriately to the page. My very best for February! Caedrus. 1 Quote
Caedrus Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Posted January 31, 2019 Caedrus, checking in! For February, I'll be pledging to finish Anna Lovelace, which I started in January: Stretch goals include: A Pathfinder, Three December Acolytes, and a metal Peacekeeper! Wish me luck! Caedrus. 7 Quote
Nikodemus Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Pledging Moleman (4ss). Considering doing some more, but I don't even remember what's on that tray of "grab 'n paint" Malifaux minis at the LGS. But hey, even kickstarters don't reveal all stretch goals at the beginning! Base done. Going to gift this one away so leaving the base plain. 8 Quote

I paint his stuff when the mood strikes me and in return I (and others) get to borrow his painted stuff. Plus Wyrd metals are great fun to paint and he used to have a fair few of them unpainted. That was before I got my hands on them. Quote
Diddick Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Hello! My pledge for February will be 2 Onryo, (10SS on m3e).@Caedrus I saw that I'm not in the excel, can yo add me please? In January i submitted an Ashes & Dust for 9SS in m3e. here's the link to my post Thanks! And keep up the good work! 3 Quote
emiba Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Is it a bird? Is it an airplane? I know it's blurry but it's my February pledge, Vincent and two corpse candles for 12 stones I believe. 4 2 Quote
lusciousmccabe Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 My January pledge is some combination of these fellas totalling over 6SS. Kind of a bit annoying that they all cost 5 iirc. Bonus model is Sonnia if I'm feeling super motivated. Also, I'm making a subpledge of something that's been sitting around my painting table every month that I'll have to finish up before the Malifaux stuff. Last month it was Fiametta from Relic Knights and some Super Dungeon Explore Hero. Was very happy to get them polished off in addition to my pledge, so this month I'll try my hand with 10 GW goblins! 8 Quote
Gloomy Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 For February I pledge Jack Daw and Lady Ligeia for 19 stones. Stretch goals will be Montresor and 3x Guilty 7 Quote
Popular Post Phinn Posted January 31, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted January 31, 2019 My pledge for February is to finish the male Cyclops Here are some promised WIP pictures. The skin colour is going to be greenish blue with offwhite on belly, chin, inner thights and arms and buttocks. Knees, elbows and fingers are going to have red tint to make them visually more interesting and red mouth should draw attention toward the face Detail of the face. Still some work to do Chin, ears, ice "horns" etc. And here is how the ice on the whole miniature (and crew) is going to look like. The process is little bit time consuming but I feel like it is worth 19 Quote
lusciousmccabe Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 Well, he may only have one eye, but what an eye! 1 1 Quote
PetitDalek Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 My pledge for this month are metal Pandora and her totem. That way I'll complete the crew box 7 Quote

Thank you Thankfully the eye is quite large so it was a great opportunity to learn how to paint eyes in general. Here is the amazing tutorial that I followed - Arcane Paintworks - 6 Step Eyes by Meg Maples 2 1 Quote

LordZombie Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Getting a little urami this month with the lady that got me into malifaux, Kirai. 9 Quote
Chou Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Hey guys! For February I had a change of plan, my original idea was painting models McCabe could use but with the M3E edition those models have left the building . But McCabe's loss might become Mei Feng's gain, as I plan to use them together sooo... * Emissary: 10 SS. This guy should be finished soon, I feel like cheating because I started him last month, but well! * Three rail workers, 5 SS each: 15 SS in total. * The forgeling: 2 SS So it would be a total of 27 SS. 4 Quote
Franchute Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Hello I wish to finish the cricket I should have finished last month and I'm adding in Samael: Wish me motivation because I'm leaving on hollidays in two weeks! 5 4 Quote
Scatterbrain Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Pledging 1 Mobile Toolkit at 3 ss. 6 Quote
Stranglelove Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 In February, I'll be finishing my Cult of the Burning Man 1 Commander company for 20SS (Portals, Commander, and another Breachling). Here is a WIP on a Portal thingy. Experimenting with washes and dry brushing to try to differentiate the creatures from the portal itself: My other goal for February is to get a better set-up for taking photos. Happy Friday, all. 😀 7 Quote
misterfinn Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I thought I'd need to mulligan February but my wrist is healing fast (yay) so I'll pledge Big Jake and see how it goes. Picture coming later when my phone has battery. 🙄 Edited February 2, 2019 by misterfinn added picture 5 Quote
Maxooo Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 So February i think will be one of thoses 3, maybe 2 or maybe some other gremlins ( i have a lot of them standing and waiting on the shelf of shame ^^ ) , let's see how it goes 5 Quote
Burnin' Coal Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 @Stranglelove That portal is looking great already - nice work 👍 @PhinnThe brushwork on your Cyclops is insanely good👍 2 Quote
Popular Post Burnin' Coal Posted February 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted February 1, 2019 ...and we're off !....again....am abandoning my stealthy two or three models per month strategy...it's time to go big or go home time for me...so for February I am sticking with TOS and will be painting Fenton Brahms and five of The Broken 11 Quote
prof_bycid Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 Time to get back to working on my Marcus all-dogs-and-cats crew. It will likely not go well strategically, but it will amuse the heck out of me. I will be working on a second Hoarcat Pride this month, for 5 SS. 6 Quote
