Caedrus Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Welcome to the 2020 Wyrd Painting Challenge! This is the thread for the October Painting Challenge. I’m Caedrus, and I have the very great pleasure of being your host for 2020. While I am proud to be your host, this competition belongs to all of us, and if there’s anything that we can better to improve the Challenge, please do let me know. The link to the painter spreadsheet is here. There was discussion last month about the Shelf of Shame, that pile of Malifaux miniatures that are sitting unfinished, unpainted, unbuilt, or unboxed. So, for this month, an additional challenge: Be strong, and upload a photograph your Shelf / Box / Bucket / Wardrobe of Shame! In addition, this month sees the Rotten Harvest Painting Competition. If you are taking part, for this month, we'll be allowing unspecified pledges, e.g.: "This month, I'll be painting ... something!" The 2020 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 Wyrd miniatures each month Enforcer: you paint at least 6 Soulstones worth of Wyrd miniatures each month Henchman: you paint at least 11 Soulstones worth of Wyrd miniatures each month Master: you paint at least 16 Soulstones worth of Wyrd miniatures each month Tyrant: you paint at least 31 Soulstones worth of Wyrd miniatures each month The rules: The challenge started on January 1st, 2020. 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. See the Buy-Back rule, below. 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. A new rule for 2020: The Buy-Back Everyone has good months and bad months. To encourage people to continue to paint, we will be trying out a new rule this year: the Buy-Back. In the past, if you have used your two mulligans, you’re out of the Challenge! However, in 2020, you can buy your way back into the challenge. All you have to do is to undertake your normal pledge and paint for the month, AND undertake the pledge and paint from one of the months you mulliganed. E.g.: Sarah is painting at Enforcer level (6SS/month), and she’s needed to mulligan for the third time. She announces that for the upcoming month, she’ll paint 12SS. If she does so, she’s back in the Challenge! At such a time, it might be worthwhile considering dropping down a category, but that’s up to Sarah! 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. Markers count for 2 soulstones if they're flat, or 5 soulstones if they're 3D and fancy Terrain · Scatter Piece (5SS): A modest piece of terrain, or a small number of scattered terrain pieces. These are the spray-can and dry-brush pieces. · Focus Piece (10SS): A terrain piece that represents a focal point of pride in a terrain board. These pieces require a decent amount of construction and painting. · Centre Piece (20SS): A terrain piece that is a significant centrepiece to the terrain. A handmade forest, a mausoleum, or a train engine. · Masterpiece (50SS): A gorgeous, unique terrain piece that makes people wonder if you get out much. · War and Peace (100SS): A complete, themed 3’x3’ terrain board. My very best for October! Caedrus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Folks, a few weeks ago, I lamented the loss of my just-built Hans. The day after the replacement flew in from the United States, the original Hans was found. So, this month, I'll be painting that guy, and my second Freikorps Engineer. Have a great October! Caedrus. P.S.: Anyone in Australia need a Hans? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 It's still September (at least here in the US), I really can't decide on October yet. I'm building Nellie and her box set and was seriously thinking of trying to get her finished this month...then I looked at the Printing Press model and counted 19 individual pieces. I've had a good year so far, I finished 5 crews (3x Bayou, 1x Neverborn and 1x Arcanist). If I can get Nellie done that will add a Guild crew to the mix. I do need to work on some pigs to round out that key word. That said I'm going to take on Nellie and see what I can get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddick Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 1st of all, here's my shelf (or shelves) of shame, i have to admit, could be worse: Still boxed: Built: mostly TTs, some ressers and the hodgepodge couple misaki's crew has been primed for more than a year now 😓 (I split the undiying encounter box with a friend back in m2e, and then i realised i needed a wanyudo too for minako, so i kitbashed it) built him just a couple of weeks ago and add a yasunori that's half built in a box and i'm too lazy to take it out for the pic 😬 And about my pledge for this month.... I'm definitely joining the rotten harvest, so i pledge "something" XD Also, i surely will not be able to do anything else this month, bc I'm also getting married, so I'm gonna be very busy! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranglelove Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Have already made great progress on Nekima's crew. Now working on the Half-Bloods from the M2E Starter set. Then, I'll try to finish the Viktorias, and get started on Von Schtook. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a very small ceremony due to covid, but tbh, i prefer that than a massive party... About what category/es I'm entering... Wouldn't say that be kind of cheating? XD. Anyway, I think last year was just beginner's luck, It helped a lot that the rules for the entry where so specific, so creativity played a huge part, let's see this year if this formula also works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'll dig out my shame pile (which is at least organized into a box. The fact that that box isn't where it can constantly stare at my as a total coincidence, I swear!) a bit later, but this is an awesome extra challenge. This month I'll he painting...something...and these poison bom--I mean,gamin, already in progress: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 A little late on the shelf of shames, but here you go. Didn't feel like going downstairs for the unbuilt models, so you will just have to imagine 2-3 20 gallon storage tubs filled with models. As for the built shame here's some ToS and for malifaux, it just felt easier to post it all (as the shame is mixed in with the painted 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post muraki Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Got some work started on my honeypot team. So far got Kitty and a new Lynch done!

muraki Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks! It's definitely a fun effect. I was doing it on kitty to show her ghosty side.... But it wouldn't be out of place on most models in the honeypot... Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stranglelove Posted October 21, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Here are Nekima's Nephilim and the Half-Blood Princes: Many of these Nephilim were primed years ago with a spray can when I didn't know what I was doing, giving them the fuzzies.

Boomstick Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Finally got my poison (dart frog) gamin done. Nothing terribly fancy, they won't be on the table long, after all. @Caedrus 15ss for them, +10ss for my "secret something". And thank you for everything you've done, running this program this year! Oh, and my shame pile, er, box. I fear it's growing strength. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
