Caedrus Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Another month begins! This is the thread for the March 2019 Monthly Painting Challenge. I’m Caedrus, and I’ll be your host for 2019. March: a change of Season! Whether it be a Southern Hemisphere autumn, or a Northern Hemisphere Spring, change is in the air! I've made a small change to TOS values (see below) based on feedback from @Athiko. Please let me know if this sounds OK to people! 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. This means if you want to join / start the challenge, you must meet every month's pledge from now on! 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 Titans count for 25 soulstones. Commanders count for 15 soulstones. Adjunct models count for 5 soulstones. Otherwise: A 30mm base model is worth 5 soulstones. A 40mm base model is worth 7 soulstones. A 50mm base model is worth 10 soulstones. Terrain Terrain is worth 5SS per 50mm base in area. Custom tokens are worth 5SS per 50mm base in area. 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 March! Caedrus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomy Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks @Caedrus for sorting out the TOS costing, makes it much easier For March I pledge Jaakuna Ubume and 3x Crooked Men for 21ss - Stretch goals will be warped, warped and more warped 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Started on the base and a single basecoat layer yesterday. Pledging single Jorogumo for 9ss. I've got a special colour scheme in mind for this one. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 This box of Ware Piles should produce 5 terrain components larger a bit more than 50mm bases: The box should be worth 25ss should I paint all the components. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I will start by completing what I'd initially planned for February - Cherry Bomb for 8ss to get me started. Once she's done, I will work on Marcus' crew. I will be painting two boxes simultaneously and want to start with Cojos. I'll post some WIP pics once Cherry is finished and the guerillas are assembled. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 @Caedrus Your text is invisible on the white theme. You've probably kept the formatting when copy-pasting. At first, I thought the post was a place holder To begin with, I pledge to finish my Asura Roten proxy + to paint a farm house. I should continue on metal Pandy, but the sculpt is not easy to work with, so I'll probably just start something completely unrelated. Such as building a pig totem for my Nekima that's still in her box, that would be fun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiba Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 My pledge for March will be a Draugr and a Shieldbearer. I think. I might change my mind. Or just paint more minis. 😝 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muraki Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm also starting a Marcus box for this month... though if I knew Viruk was doing the same I'd of chosen a different theme so I didn't have to look bad in comparison, haha. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctaBit Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'd like to join at the henchmen level if that's alright. Meant to join last month but I was too busy painting. 😉 Going to try and paint up a fire team of Warped from TOS to test out a paint scheme. Will probably end up painting more than that but lets see how it goes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathnard Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Alright, count me in for this painting challenge at Tyrant Level - I've got a bunch of TOS to paint up. To start with, here's what's on my desk - Adeodatos, 3 (almost finished) Portals and 3 Raving Madmen for 60SS total. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Welcome to @OctaBit, and Welcome to @Rathnard! @Viruk: Your cat does a pretty good staredown! Mine watches me paint pretty intensely... and drinks my paint water 😹 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primate Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 My plan is Howard Langston and Angel Eyes from scratch, and finishing touches on Scion of black blood, nurse heartsbane and an orderly (I did them a bit for a game I had mid month ). Also a wizkids D&D ranger, fwiw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi there! For March I'm starting the Perdita crew, such a lovely family! * Perdita Ortega: 15 SS * Santiago Ortega: 8 SS * Francisco Ortega: 9 SS * Papa Loco: 7 SS For a total of 39 SS (few models but quite pricey). In case I finish them in time I have some non-Wyrd models to paint (consequence of being a friendly drunk), if I manage to finish those too I'll continue with the Ortega family, but I wouldn't bet on it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid a few dollars for it. If that sounds over-costed, I should point out that it was a pre-M3E purchase. 🙄 Edited March 2, 2019 by Scatterbrain Adding soulstone total 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnin' Coal Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 @Rathnard - that's some very neat sculpting/conversion work done there to get your three Raving Madmen to all look different...I really like the vivid colors in the Stalking Portals as well...am already looking forward to following your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phinn Posted March 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 The Plague Cometh should cometh via post next week and though you might say that my pledge is truly weak, for the month of March I solemnly swear I will eat my hat, if by the end of this month I haven't finished a Malifaux Rat. 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
