Caedrus Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 It's June, already? This is the thread for the June 2019 Monthly Painting Challenge. I’m Caedrus, and I’ll be your host for 2019. It's June! June's birthstone … well, there’s three of them! Alexandrite, Moonstone, and Pearl. Like Alexandrite, why not try a colour change paint this month? Or use a pearlescent paint effect? It’s also National Flag Month, so why not try painting a miniature using (or mixing) only the colours of your flag (Sorry, Japan and Canada)? It’s also LGBT Pride month, so now might be a good time to do some rainbow work! In May, we saw some wonderful scenery, some gorgeous paint jobs, and a fellow painter get access to some mysterious pre-release sculpts. This month, a change approaches. June is the absolute, last, final month of using the M2E SS values. Next month, we shift to M3E! The link to the painter spreadsheet is here. Who knows what June will bring? 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. 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; but 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 Changeover! Since Malifaux 3rd Edition hits on June 28th, from July 1st, we'll be using the M3E values from that point on. 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 June! Caedrus.

Caedrus Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Caedrus, reporting in! So, my pledge for June is to paint, at minimum, one single Death Marshall. Or to finish the ones I've started (and promptly lost the Pine Boxes for). Maybe I'll paint that Miss Terious that's haunting me. Stretch Goals? I've got two half-finished Sonnia, a Judge, a Rifleman, and two Resser Hounds sitting on my Shelf of Shame. Which means I'll probably prime something else and get all caught up in that. Then I'll promise myself that I won't go nuts with M3E pre-releases, then I'll pretty much immediately go nuts. In May, I also bought more eBay rescues. Because wisdom is my dump-stat. Have a fantastic June, fellow painters! Caedrus P.S.: I'll update the spreadsheet very soon. I promise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Goals, still in sprue: alt Ototo (9ss) Sun Quiang (8ss) aaand... Samurai (8ss), primed. Ought to get more done but those are things I know for sure. Might do some speedpaints for Gibbering Hordes collective at the LGS, still undecided on that. Got Komainu and Toshiro I ordered three months ago that may or may not show up in time this month. Other miscellaneous stuff. Have a good month everyone! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Almost built the little brother. Helmet isn't glued yet. So... I could cut off that nub that connects to his helmet. Paint the flat top of his head just like hair texture and most wouldn't be able to tell the difference at a gaming table. I reckon he looks pretty good without the helmet. But that might be my preference for hair talking. Gonna sleep on it and have a chat with the wife over the weekend. Also built the King of Medicine. His arms were tiny! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I'll start with the fire golem and then probably kaeris: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 To start this month, finally buckling down and finishing Izamu for my Resser friend, and getting Jack Daw's translucent box done for him as a birthday gift. Have some interesting ideas on how to make them...interesting. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 So my dreams of playing with a fully painted company at the first London TOS tourney on the 15th are slowly dissolving under a torrent of work and responsibilities (jeez that was dramatic) but I'm gonna get as much done as possible. So this month I'll be starting with the remaining 4 ECB, Adeodatos and the Rhino. Anything else is a bonus. Here's the same pic as last month as I can't be arsed to take a new one minus the few i painted 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranglelove Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hey @Caedrus I had 68 ss for May. Thanks! June pledge coming soon. Been painting a lot of non-Wyrd stuff that I probably won't show off until it's all done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi there! My pledge for June will be only three models as a I need to paint some Blood bowl models, so... * Dashel Barkers, 15 SS (because I need to maximize the amount of SS per model for this month 😂) * Pale rider, 11 SS (he will be best friends with Sonnia and the Riot breakers) * Doppleganger, 8 SS (I need her for the Lucius list) 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I am going to paint ALLL THREE Young Lacroix. Might not seem like much but it's three times what I usually paint. Wish me luck Looking forward to seeing everyone's minis! I don't comment much, but I look and like everything. This is easily the best thread on the forum. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddick Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hello there! My pledge for june will be Hamelin himself for 15 SS. I intend to try a diferent lighting for him. My idea is adding a pretty high OSL from the base... let's see how successful I'll be 🤞 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Mist Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hello, Going to pledge a Riotbreaker for 6ss: Surely I'm going to paint some new spaceship too: sorry for @Franchute but they'll be dark blue and not purple! I plan to work some new scenic component for my modular table...... guess this month will have some bridge. I'll post the relative picture as soon as I'll have assembled them. Happy month and nice pledge to all of you! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post muraki Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Started playing with some new paints i picked up so took a break and did 2 quick sorrows for 10 to start off the month. @Caedrus The painting spreadsheet has me at 5 for May, I'm actually at 23. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Last month was 213 SS for me @Caedrus This month I've got a bit of non-Wyrd commission painting to deal with. So I'm going to keep it light for the challenge and stick with the house i didn't manage to finish last month, and a few proxies for my TOS Kings Empire Company; It's not as much work as it looks. The TOS company is going to be painted in a simple (yet hopefully striking) monochrome scheme. ;) 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nikodemus Posted June 7, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Latigo Pistolero (5ss) done! Well this was unexpected. Felt like painting a figure quickly. This guy seemed like fun. Decent amount of skin, simple figure, lots of character. Picked a few paints I haven't used a lot lately (AP Wolf Grey for pants, AP Warlock Purple for shirt). Then went to town. Hour 'n a half later I had this. For additional fun I used my filbert brush instead of my typical rounds (I did use my standard metallics brushes for metallics though). Forced me to keep it simple with the details and highlights. Really happy with how he turned out. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterfinn Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 @Nikodemus I like the idea of switching up the brushes to force a stylistic change. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I think it has been clear I have committment issues 😊 The other day I quickly painted Colette's totems instead of working on the fire golem I pledged, or even the Kaeris model I mentioned. I guess I needed to feel the satisfaction of finishing a model. @Caedrus I have three mechanical doves for 6ss so far: 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted June 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Caedrus, checking in! So, my apologies for the lack of images to accompany this post. I've been working on my Death Marshall today, and I have a WIP all ready to go, but imgur isn't liking the uploading at the moment. So, how's the Wyrd Weekend treating you, fellow painters? Caedrus. P.S.: I do love a @Franchute base. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 @Franchute Love the doves. I have the same issues, seems when I pledge something I instantly rebel against myself and paint something different. Fight the system!! Even if the system is You!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hey, there's no shortage if grey plastic it white metal out there. I say embrace whatever motivation the paint Gods throw you. Anything that leads to finished models can only be good! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranglelove Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 So, after finishing this behemoth of a piece: And after spilling an entire bottle of hexwraith flame on my clothes and carpet... I'm honestly pretty burnt out on painting 😅. For now, I'll just pledge two Hanged: Hope everyone is having a good summer (or winter for those in the Southern Hemisphere)! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I pledge Hamelin for 15 SS I am not sure if I will be able to finish him this month since I am leaving for holidays in 10 days, which also means that I have to serve both weekends (I believe that is the right word Serve, as in hospital.). The colour scheme I chose is quite time-consuming as well. But I will give it everything 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 @Phinn I was expecting that to rhyme... and then it didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 "Hey! People of Wyrd Forums!" I cried. "Excuse me, coming through. Step aside!" "I said, make room. Make room! Since here comes a poem just for @Wintergloom." "I would have never guessed that me, a humble clown, could make you sad, break your heart and let you down. Believe me, for that I am truly sorry, but do not fret, my friend, and do not worry. Its like my mama said, there is always next time, plenty of opportunities in life to rhyme. Not that these announcements matter, but from a scratch, once again and better. People of Wyrd Forums, listen and hear that, I pledge Hamelin, master of all things rat." 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
